Idea (For Now): Incredible Hulk: Civil War?
Time

Other possibilities I’ve tried out (can’t upload samples for now because of Vimeo storage limit)

-Open the movie with Zemo reading from the winter soldier codebook in the hotel, just to explain what Bucky means by the
“saying the god damn words” later when Steve captures him.

-Have Zemo give Ross access to super soldier serums he finds in the compound

Are you gonna do anything about that sad excuse for an opening?

Why would you want Grace to live? There’s no reason for it, and it would mess up the other episodes.

I don’t give a crap about it fitting with the other episodes, I do this stuff for fun, not to pander to what other people want for “go to” versions.

…wow.

Just a pet peeve of mine…for some reason people in the fanedit community get very precious about their continuity being tarnished…I got the same reactions when I put together a Civil War edit which used Homecoming footage, I got people saying “this breaks the timeline, this makes no sense”…whatever happened to creativity? Risk? Experimentation?

I’ll do whatever I like with my edits. If people are curious, they can view them, but they are not meant to replace anything. They’re just for fun.

Idea (For Now): Incredible Hulk: Civil War?
Time

I was mulling over this just a couple of minutes ago, I thought I’d give it it’s own thread.

Do you think it’s at all creatively plausible to combine scenes from Civil War and Ed Norton’s Incredible Hulk?

Granted, this would play havoc with established MCU continuity, and some might not take to that, but as an experimental edit it could well be doable.

The idea would be to only use about 15% or 20% of Civil War footage, with the rest of the movie being incredible Hulk. The motivations are that the army are trying to recruit Banner for Tony’s team to go after Steve Rogers and his own team per Black Widow’s suggestion (when Tony suggests if there’s “any shot” of getting him on the team to her), and we follow Banner’s adventures. In this alternate universe, Banner never left Earth and reconnects with old flame Betty Ross.

I’d still devote some time to Tony and Cap’s struggle just so there’s a complete story, and Spidey could still wind up being Banner’s substitute on the team.

The post-credit scene of the Incredible Hulk between Tony and General Ross can be repurposed for earlier in the movie, possibly at the very beginning if need be.

I’d try to at least end the film with Bruce and Betty together and on the run. The final scene could be the “not even a little excited?” love making scene at the end.

Batman & Robin Redacted (Released)
Time

I’ve been told this movie is unsalvageble, but by darn I’ll give it a go.

Having watched samples of FE.org member Canon Editor’s work on Batman Forever, I’ve been thinking of doing something with this instalment, the “worst crime in cinematic history”. Very few attempts have been made at it. The best effort, “DeAssified”, cut a lot of corners and used fades-to-black and crossfades to get the job done, but I’m not going to be that cruel/bold to it. I’m simply going to scale back what doesn’t work. It might still be bad, but I aim to make it tolerable to watch.

I put in the DVD, and it’s actually a lot better than I remember…but then, I was only paying attention to the bits that linger the strongest in my memory.

I decided the best thing to do was to focus a lot on the trust issues between Bruce and Dick, make that the story, and try to subdue the Poison Ivy influence on Grayson…it’s still there, but it’s more subtle. The issues are the trust dilemma.

Gone is the opening scene in the museum, we start the film in media res, with Bruce and Dick escaping the missile and pursuing Freeze in the air.

Poison Ivy and Bane’s origins are ignored entirely, and she makes her first appearance at the observatory.

The movie also has a post-credit sequence…after scouring the movie for one I could use, it came down to an obvious choice and a less obvious one. Just to be different, I chose the less obvious one. I ran it by FE.org members and they told me it worked.

Wish me luck on the rest

Doctor Who: Series 11 + Special Edits (a WIP)
Time

Whoflix isn’t doing any further new Doctor Who edits beyond Capaldi, and I feel from watching the new episodes there is room for improvement, so I’ll be putting together a few edits of the latest series. I’ve practised with four in total

“The Woman Who Fell To Earth”

Right, well, sometimes it’s best not to be too complex with these cuts, and so I’ve only really tinkered with the last act and ending. A little part of me will forever miss Steven Moffat, so in honour of him, let’s give Jodie’s debut a rosier outcome for all involved…including the true star of the episode’s title.

That’s right…here Grace lives. No Youtube videos featuring Ryan (who’s only on 16 views), mourning her. Rather than open on him having bike problems, we open on him, Graham and Grace sitting atop the hill watching the setting sun and talking about his struggles instead. His bike riding issues now come at the tail end of the episode with the Doctor watching on. Grace’s funeral has been cut, as has any and all references to Graham having cancer and The Doctor saying it’s been a long time since she bought women’s clothes.

In some way, this line can prove problematic unless you count the times The Doctor has dressed in drag in the classic series (such as his turn as a cleaning lady in The Green Death), personally I like to headcanon that in a previous regeneration cycle, The Doctor, under his previous identity of The Other, was a woman. He just doesn’t remember his previous cycle though.

A few extra trims occur to prevent Grace and Graham attempting to dismantle Tim Shaw’s data collector. Grace fastening herself to a harness has been kept in when we see the sequence with Shaw triggering the DNA bombs, but you can assume she’s doing that in order to climb up and potentially help out the Doc.

“The Ghost Monument”

Episode two of the new series doesn’t have much replay value…a lot if it is just lots of talking to pad out the running time. Strong character work you might say if you were really trying to find something to like about this, but I figure you’re here to see the players get on with things.

Out went the “trust exercise” story and all that waffle about still loving your mother despite being abused. Takes a special kind of tolerance for that one.

Also out were any references to the Stenzon and the Timeless Child….if you’re going to say “we’re doing no story arcs this year” Chibnall, we might as well hold you to your word even if you won’t.

“Rosa”

I enjoyed the story, as my fics and music videos ‘shipping Jon Pertwee with the bloke off the Chase and a big brash space racist can attest, but I of course hadn’t forgotten about my ongoing mission to carry on where Whoflix left off and edit Jodie’s tenure in the TARDIS, and so here we are

One of my biggest plot niggles from the episode was the whole mess with the villain sending James Blake off to Mill Creek…padding of the highest calibre, and since these episodes seem to work much better when trimmed down to a more manageable 40-odd minute length, out it went as well as all references to it…also out is Ryan gushing on about his late nan to Doctor King

“Resolution”

I might do two versions of this, one with Kate Stewart (using footage from “Day of the Doctor”, it depends if I can time the interactions right) and one where I just don’t have U.N.I.T and it’s indefinite suspension mentioned at all. Also out is the extra ending where the Dalek forces the Doctor to take it into the TARDIS. Here, we just resolve the situation with the Microwave saving the day. Also cut is the police officer who comes out to the Dalek. This is mainly to appease the crowd who take issue with the “Bury your Gays” tv trope.
