Very slick editing tricks… props… where can I get link to view entire edit?
I’ll PM you the link, thanks for the interest. It’s appreciated.
Before reading, watch this Hexagon Overview By Youtuber ‘The 6th Ranger’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5VctJxs5t8&t=93s
Back around 2002, there was a proposed plan for a multi-Power Ranger season called ‘Hexagon’, which would have seen Tommy Oliver head up an organization made up of various Rangers over the last decade or so of the programme, battling the remnants of their greatest enemies as well as some new threats. The series would focus on a group of young teenage Rangers recruited by Tommy’s organization who would be gradually caught up in Tommy’s ongoing ‘disagreements’ with the Phantom Ranger and former teammate/rival Jason.
Eventually, there was to have been a mass Ranger civil war, ending with Tommy disbanding his organization.
It is my intention to create, to the best of my ability, my own version of the Hexagon season, though it will not be beholden to the original notes. In total, I have put together seven episodes thus far with this story. Here are the key differences
-The backstory for the villains is the same as Power Rangers In Space. Zordon is captured and the Turbo Rangers have been defeated
-The original Hexagon would have had the Ninja Storm Rangers as the heroes. In this version, it’s the Dino Charge Rangers
-Main villains are Mesegog and Astronema. For now.
-Forever Red is used as a two-part set-up
-The ‘evil Trent’ arc of Dino Thunder will be removed.
-Various PR fanfilms, such as Bat In The Sun projects as well as ‘Shattered Past’ will be used.
-In time I hope to bring the PR civil war to life using various Sentai vs Sentai sequences.
So far, I’ve put together seven episodes, a few of them have had minimal changes as some will be ‘filler’ character-focused stories about the core team of Dino Rangers.
Both versions are now released
Now working on an alternative cut of the film, this one ditches the Ferry scene and focuses on Peter turning down Tony’s offer of being an Avenger, and ties things together by having Tony propose to Pepper.
Timeline is as follows for this cut:
-Paramount Logo
-Old Marvel Studios Logo
-1991, Bucky kills Tony’s parents
-Tony chewed out by bitter Sukovian mom
-The first we see of Steve, Sam, Bucky and T’Challa is when they being brought in after being arrested, this allows us to get to the Steve and Tony argument quicker.
-‘A Film By Peter Parker’ added, Peter is the co-lead of this film so we largely follow his journey to Germany
-Most of Civil War plays out as normal after this
-After Cap beats up Tony, we cut to Peter raving about the trip to Germany and the car ride back with Stark and Happy.
-‘Two Months Later’, Peter on train
-Cut to the A.I constructs of the Starks and Tony addressing the student crowd (parts of this are used for the beginning also, but this is meant to be yet another group of students he’s granting money to)
Peter turns down being an Avenger, Pepper accepts Tony’s proposal
-Tony and Pepper jogging in the park, we learn they’re now engaged, Doctor Strange interrupts them
-Post credits: Peter at school, change into his ‘own’ suit and responds to a police chase in progress (Footage from Amazing Spider-Man 2)
Thankyou sir, happy holidays
I was recently reminded of an old Iron Man 4 I made for the disgraced SDN Edition’s defunct website last year, upon reviewing it I feel it’s much too long and I wish to approach it with fresh eyes, I believe if you focus chiefly on Tony and his supporting characters you get a tidy 100 minute or so movie that still tells the story of Civil War just as clearly along with much more
Movies used would be
-Civil War (the bulk of it)
-Spider-Man Homecoming (scenes on the boat can work here as a climatic moment for Peter and Tony)
-Infinity War (for the ending)
And when it’s released on DVD:
-Spider-Man: No Way Home (for a post-credit scene)

A prototype version is current available. This is not final by any means. It has a placeholder sequence for post-credits using Homecoming footage and some web swinging from either the PS4 Spider-Man video game or Amazing Spider-Man 2
-Paramount Logo
-Old Marvel Studios Logo
-1991, Bucky kills Tony’s parents
-Tony chewed out by bitter Sukovian mom
-The first we see of Steve, Sam, Bucky and T’Challa is when they being brought in after being arrested, this allows us to get to the Steve and Tony argument quicker.
-‘A Film By Peter Parker’ added, Peter is the co-lead of this film so we largely follow his journey to Germany
-Most of Civil War plays out as normal after this
-Boat scene from Homecoming, Stark takes the suit from Peter
-Cut to the A.I constructs of the Starks and Tony addressing the student crowd (parts of this are used for the beginning also, but this is meant to be yet another group of students he’s granting money to)
-Tony and Pepper jogging in the park, we learn they’re now engaged, Doctor Strange interrupts them
-End credits
-Post-Credit scene (when No Way Home becomes available): We find Peter is now a drop out, but is still committed to being Spider-Man despite Tony’s doubts, he suits up in his freshly-sewn together classic costume and swings out into the night.
Post-Credit Scene (Placeholder Version): Peter tries in vain to text Happy, trying for a second chance, and we track him heading to school. We eventually see him skip school and swings off into the city in his new custom-made costume
This is now complete and released.
Another sample (not the final version, the current draft does hold on to Hank and Raven a little longer)

The goal of this project is to stitch some, but not all, of Harry Osborn’s story arc from season one together. This film would use the trilogy where Harry becomes Venom as well as odds and ends of other episodes such as the pilot, “Exclusive” (just to give us some Peter and Mary Jane interaction), and “Attack of the Beatle” for the final scene, giving Agent Coulson and Aunt May some development and ending the film on an upbeat note.
I had the idea of also using the live-action alternate ending to Iron Man 1, where Fury is talking to Tony about radioactive spider-bites among other things. He makes mention of a ‘spoiled brat who has difficulty playing with others’. He’s referring to Tony in the deleted scene, but he may as well be referring to Peter in this version.
This does not rock the boat as far as removing the comedic side-gags or fourth wall breaks, so if you weren’t a fan of those, you’re going to have to grin and bear it
Most commercial fades have been cut

Not gonna lie, I think Dark Phoenix would have worked better if all the newly shot footage for Once Upon a Deadpool was used for the former instead.
Some of the linking material really has no business working as well as it does for this. Only a few minor nips and tucks are required.
A year or so ago, I released a fanedit called “X-Men: Dead Phoenix” which attempted to insert Deadpool into the narrative of X-Men: Dark Phoenix using footage of him at the mansion in Deadpool 2. The results were…mixed to say the least, some ‘got’ it and some didn’t, plus there were some technical errors.
A year later I’ve revised my approach…now, instead of being integrated into Dark Phoenix, Deadpool is telling the story of Dark Phoenix to Fred Savage. Some of Fred’s comments actually work for a few key scenes from this movie.
Changes/Cutlist so far
-Remove any references to the story being Deadpool 2
-Remove Fred being censored by the beeper.
-Fred and Wade’s conversation about romance now moved to after Scott and Jean’s kiss. References to Vanessa kissing Wade removed.
-Trimmed ‘Fridging’ conversation so it fits in with Mystiques death and not Vanessas’. Deadpool now recognises the trope and reacts immediately to it while Fred explains what just happened.
-After Magneto is informed of Raven’s death, we cut to Wade and Fred discussing Matt Damon
-Added in voice overs from Wade at random parts of the movie, including Deadpool laughing at Xavier being forced to walk.
A simple, very minimalist edit of Avengers: Endgame. This will come bundled with a 'Final Curtain" edition of Infinity War, which takes the opening act of Endgame with the Avengers confronting Thanos and Thor beheading him and uses it to conclude the IW portion of the story. Endgame begins with a reprise of the Hawkeye and Daughter archery lesson pre-snap (it’s also included in the IW cut) and then after the Marvel logo we cut straight to ‘Five Years Later’
From there, Endgame proceeds as normal until after Steve declines to tell Sam about his marriage to Peggy, we cross fade to New York’s Broadway and tie the film’s climax back to Clint as he watches Rogers: The Musical, which takes us to the end credits.
When all is done, the edit will be available in the following formats
-A specially filtered ‘VHS’ Turner Entertainment Home Video version with both episodes playing back to back (approx 40 minutes)
-Standard, unfiltered episodes that can be download individually.
“THE CONQUEROR”
“DON’T DRINK THE WATER”
GO PLANET
By Your Two Episodes Combined…I am Your ‘Season One’ finale!
Captain Planet, being quite episodic in nature, had about six or so seasons. Arguably it’s best years were probably the original 65 episode or so run, but none of those seasons had proper ‘finales’…but they came ever so close to one. Arguably the best of those was ‘Summit to Save Earth’, where the original spirt of the Earth Zarn pretty much wipes the floor with the Planeteers with the help of the eco-villains and takes over the planet. By the story’s end, the Planeteers vanquish Zarn and COP 22 turns out to be a success (lol)
So while season two has that, the first season has a couple of candidates for a strong finale…the original Mission to Save Earth (introducing Captain Pollution), Two Futures Parts One and Two (a ‘for want of a nail’ scenario), and Heat Wave, which sees Doctor Blight attack Hope Island.
I watched some of them lately, Heat Wave really is the best one despite being so short, but the others I felt suffered from having little to no real ‘finality’ to them with the eco villains. At least you can make the argument Doctor Blight could have died at sea in Heat Wave.
Two episodes from earlier in the first season however, work pretty well at providing the ‘big kicks’ of season finales…high stakes, the feeling the heroes could be tempted with absolute corruptible power, and the villains coming together for a big gamble and getting all caught at the end. Those were “Don’t Drink The Water” and “The Conqueror”, the first is the show’s first real multi-villain crossover with a plot far superior to that of “Mission to Save Earth”, the latter is the first appearance of Zarn, my favourite CP villain.
Both parts currently clock in at 19 minutes, both include “Planeteer Alert” (the same one) and end credits.
For the sake of a title, I’ve used the title cards for parts one and two of “Mission to Save Earth” even if the edit has nothing to do with the original story, but I think it fits it far better as Zarn is tempting them with the power of the iron fist and sends them on a mission to ‘save’ the planet from nuclear armament.
Hopefully this serves as a worthy candidate for a season one finale, and if not, at least a rollicking good bit of 90s cheese.
Volume two of the controversial MOTU: Revelation has dropped and all things considered it’s a marked improvement over the first five episodes. I admit I got caught up in the drama of volume one’s divisiveness, not always siding with either Kevin Smith’s camp or the ‘Clownfish’ camp. Truth be told I think both parties handled themselves just as poorly. The second volume only proved Clownfish ‘right’ in one respect while at the same time totally exposing their ‘scoop’ as a half-truth and everything else projection and paranoia.
But let’s not dwell too much on them or the merits of Smith’s honesty. What matters is part two was a much better half and really what the show should have been all along.
But was it ever truly needed?
Part two hinges on Skeletor being alive to make everything move along, Evil Lyn was redeemed at that point, having lost her love in Orko and vowing to do right by his memory, the power sword had been reclaimed and reforged and Adam restored magic to Eternia. You could easily have ended the series there and then.
So why not do that? All you have to do is remove any references to Teela being the Sorceress and you have a perfect send-off.
Ah, but I didn’t stop there. I decided to pull a similar trick with the FIRST episode, to show that the ‘revelation’ need not have affected Teela negatively at all. I truly feel that if she loved Adam as much as she did, considering him her hero and always believing in him, she would truly understand why he kept this secret from her and would be more readily accepting of being left in the dark . Adam surviving, fresh off of saving the universe, allows Teela to see how much he was willing to sacrifice, in this case, the power sword, and certainly wouldn’t kick him while he was down.
In time, I might revisit the first episode and add a few more things to it, but I wanted to give this version a bit of closure, in many respects finally giving the classic MOTU series a ‘true’ series finale without you needing to go through an edgelord adolescent’s idea of what a ‘mature’ MOTU series looks like
For Eternia!

Edit’s out. Two versions, one with Lynda’s cameo, one without
So the current timeline reads like this:
-Movie opens with the score of the first film, but no narration from Diana, we pan down on the Earth and-
-Instantly cut to Barbra walking to work and meeting Diana
-Mall scene
-Diana at the cafe alone, sees the plane fly overhead
-Near entirety of WW 2017 plays out
-After the victory celebrations break out, cut back to present day with Babs being saved from the drunk by Diana
-Cut to Steve’s watch beginning to tick
-Diana and Barbara at the cafe talking about their lives
-Christmas scene and flyby.
-Linda Carter cameo before credits
It’s still going through a number of tweeks, my originally planned intro has been placed to a later point in the introduction as I want to establish Barbra and Diana more before we see them much later at the cafe.
For the longest time, I thought about an edit that tried to ‘contemporize’ Wonder Woman 1984, but the idea instead evolved into using some of that film as an alternative ‘present day’ to Wonder Woman 2017 instead.
The edit opens with some of Diana’s narration from WW 2017, then it cuts to the mall scene from 1984, and from there the film plays as normal right up until Diana is at the café watching the plane fly overhead, then she begins reminiscing on her childhood, which leads us back into 2017 footage. We remain there for the majority of the film until after the celebrations at the close of the great war, then we cut back to 1984 footage and show Steve’s watch start to tick on the mantlepiece, hinting more at the idea that ‘time moves along and so do you’, then we cut to Diana and Barbara Minerva chatting about their love life and then the scene set at Christmas and Diana flying high above the heavens…and then we close the film proper on Lynda Carter’s cameo.
Hope to have this out relatively soon.
I’d love to watch this since you’ve finished! Where on the timeline would you put it, by the way? Before Justice League? After? I cannot remember if Barbara is in Justice League or Unlimited.
Looking forward to watching it!
I’ll send you the link soon once I reupload it, I’m working on converting it to a smaller size to save space on my MEGA cloud drive. It should not take too long.
I’m not sure where to place it just yet. If you like to imagine it takes place after JL, go right ahead
Is this a mental outline, or are you scribbling notes?
Rough idea how long the edit will run?
I figure I can make two hours, 37 to 30 minutes
Here’s my review of the “Rise and Fall of The Dark Phoenix” edit, from reddit’s jimbojka:
Influenced by my fanedit, “X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Dark Stand”, he has created in all probability the best fan cut so far of this concept, this certainly aims higher than mine did, it’s of a higher quality, with the score being mixed in very professionally. I also really liked the callbacks to the beginning with Wolverine going infra-red when dealing with Magneto’s henchman in the forest, that was an awesome effect and gave the whole thing a badass feel.
I liked how he was still able to use more of DP for LS footage, such as Mcavoy Xavier entering young Jean’s mind while Stewart and Jensen are duelling in the house. It’s a nice way of joining the two worlds in the film, showing us how it’s all very much the same coat the film is wearing.
There were some things that I didn’t even notice were gone from the story, which just shows how ‘necessary’ they really were (no rogue or weird Bobby/Kitty romance)
Lastly, thee ending was perfect, right down to using the Jean footage from The Wolverine, another callback to the start. Continuity and attention-to-detail goes far in telling a great story andhe told it. Tragic, impactful, and beautiful.
Now, and I hate this bit, a couple of critiques:
When Jean and Scott reunite at the lake, I did hear a bit of a hard cut/glitch in the score, might want to give that another polish.
I also think the split screen for the fight sequences, while very innovative, went on far too long. Try to make that more of an ‘event’ effect and use it when absolutely necessary.
Those niggles aside, I am honoured that my frankenstien edit inspired a much superior, sharper, and bolder vision.
OK, I’ve worked out a timeline for No Time To Die using footage from Skyfall and Spectre, framing it as the third in Craig’s trilogy. In the ensuing five years between QOS and this he’s already met and defeated Blofeld, and fallen in love with Swann, but the circumstances behind their parting are not shown, leaving it more to the imagination until Bond informs the audience later when he meets up with Swann at her home
(spoilers ahead)
-Begin with gunbarrel/“Five Years Later” (NTTD)
-Bond loses the data drive, shot by Moneypenny (Skyfall)
-Titles (a fanmix of existing Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time to Die titles, with ‘No Time To Die’ as the song)
-M and Mallory’s conversation/M hacked/destruction of MI6 building
-Bond in exile/retirement. Meets Felix and the CIA mole, learns of MI6 attack (Skyfall), tells Felix ‘he’s in’ (NTTD)
-Bond in Cuba, finds Obruche, meets with Felix and his partner (NTTD)
-A hurt Bond returns and meets with M (Skyfall)
-Bond meets with Mallory and the new 007 (NTTD)
-Moneypenny drops by Bond’s aprtment, Bond plays a message from M instructing him to kill Marco Sciarra, with the implication being he is the one behind the bombing at M16, which will be important later (Spectre)
-Remainder of NTTD plays out as normal, final fight will be altered slightly, ending plays out as normal BUT…
-Final act is Bond killing Sciarra (Spectre), the ending is left ambiguous as to whether or not this is set in the past or present.
-End credits themes are “If There Was A Man” (The Living Daylights) and “All the Time In The World” (OHMSS)
