Synopsis: "A burglar falls for an heiress as she dies in his arms. When he learns that he has the gift of reincarnation, he sets out to save her."
Edit summary: Cut most of Will Smith's role, toned down the fantasy side slightly, and trimmed/refocused the start of the film to seem less scattered. Removed the majority of the voiceovers.

Synopsis: "A battle ensues among groups of government spy teams in an underground facility after their boss is assassinated."
Edit summary: Removes the overarching plot and just allows the B-movie comedy violence to speak for itself. A few slow parts have also been trimmed, along with almost all the faces and reactions from the control room that often interrupt unnecessarily.

Synopsis: "Adam Lawrence was trained and groomed by MI6; his career seems set. When the past catches up with him in the form of Kara, a Russian spy with whom he shares a complicated past, he is forced to question everything and everyone in his life."
Edit summary: Trimmed to speed up the rather sluggish pace in parts and bring it down to movie length, removing a couple silly parts and bad acting on the part of the "American".

Synopsis: "Tells the story of a woman who cannot trust people because of her ability to hear lies and a murder suspect who no one believes in."
Edit summary: This edit removes most of the murder mystery and reworks the bit that's left to come to a much quicker conclusion, only keeping it where it serves as a framework for the romance. The whole show had a completely different tone and pacing in the back half that needed a serious rework to preserve consistency. I also Americanized a few subtitles, where the literal translation either seemed rough, too verbose, or didn't easily convey the sentiment of the conversation.
The multiple parent side stories are also either removed or reduced as well as many other side plots that take significant amounts of time - some of these plots are good in the original, but I was originally aiming for a movie-length cut. But six hours was about the natural minimum without gutting crucial flow and plot elements, so even though the edit ended up being episodic and not movie-length, I still left out the previously trimmed episodic content. A couple of the stories were fun I think they'd throw off the balance due to their length.

Synopsis: "A woman joins an organized crime ring and infiltrates the police as an undercover agent in order to find out the truth about her father's death."
Edit summary: The first six episodes are a slow burn that's decent so those are left intact. But episode eight had a completely different tone from the rest of the season so I trimmed that down and combined it with episode seven to make a more cohesive finale.

Synopsis: "Jocelyn is desperate to reclaim her rightful title as the greatest and sexiest pop diva in America after a nervous breakdown disrupted her most recent tour, and Tedros - a notorious nightclub entrepreneur - reignites her passions."
Edit summary: Cut the entire Tedros storyline and made the first-episode plot a self-contained story.

Synopsis: "Set in the near future, a humanoid enlists a global hacker to remove all restrictions on his thoughts and capabilities, triggering an A.I. uprising and a government manhunt to eliminate the rise of the machine consciousness."
Edit summary: This removes the Robbie Amell/Jordana Brewster plot, focusing on the stronger Esme short story contained within the film. The overarching plot is intentionally left a bit ambiguous because the answers given would be somewhat cliche and distract from the theme of the edit.

Synopsis: "A wildlife officer, who is haunted by a tragedy that happened because of him, teams up with an FBI agent in solving a murder of a young woman on a Wyoming Native American reservation and hopes to get redemption from his past regrets."
Edit summary: Kept the laid-back pace of the main story intact, but trimmed some of the main character family life, and some of the flashbacks to focus on the core narrative without interruption. Some scenes are recut and rearranged for better impact.

Synopsis: "A man is picked up by a fishing boat, bullet-riddled and suffering from amnesia, before racing to elude assassins and attempting to regain his memory."
Edit summary: While I think the original Bourne trilogy is solid, I wanted something a bit more rewatchable - some parts I love but some long action sequences and slow parts really lose my attention when rewatching the series. So this reworks the plot a bit - removing the romance plot with Marie, trimming or removing a lot of the car chases, and integrating all three films together into a loose narrative. A few scenes are tweaked to change the timing/context since the last two films in the trilogy technically overlap.

Synopsis: "Dark forces conspire against orphan mapmaker Alina Starkov when she unleashes an extraordinary power that could change the fate of her war-torn world."
Edit summary: Cut the flashbacks and the ship/storm sideplot that isn't really necessary for the first season and interrupts the pacing of the main plot. Other small cuts to help the pacing and also hide some botched special effects as much as possible.
Season 2: toned down the superhero abilities a little bit to match the vibe of the first season, cut the Ravka crew scenes since the story was pedestrian and unrelated to the core plot, and recut some of the Alina plot to fix the writing.

Synopsis: "Follows Wednesday Addams' years as a student, when she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a killing spree, and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents."
Edit summary: Cut parents day and Uncle Fester, and a bunch of secondary character scenes to keep the focus on Wednesday's story. Numerous dialogue tweaks to remove political writing, and fix some rough writing and delivery, cut a couple aborted storylines like psychic training, and remove some common tropes about needing friends and love that try to moralize the character rather than leaning into her weirdness. Also re-trim the ending to be a lot less corny, both in terms of acting and writing, it was by far the weakest part of the original series.

Synopsis: "An American woman is stranded in Tokyo after breaking up with her boyfriend. Searching for direction in life, she trains to be a ramen chef under a tyrannical Japanese master."
Edit summary: This focuses the story mostly on the ramen shop, only keeping enough of the side characters and plot to add some light outside interactions for the main character. Some of the scenes are also rearranged to create a more natural flow to the story.

Synopsis: "A down-on-his-luck inventor turns a broken-down Grand Prix car into a fantastical vehicle for his children, and then they go off on a magical adventure to save their grandfather in a far-off land."
Edit summary: This edit significantly cuts down the musical numbers (only kept You Two, Candy Factory, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and King's Birthday), tones down the slapstick a bit, reduces the creepy childcatcher scenes, and various other trims to bring down the rather chunky length to something that doesn't require an intermission break. The only one I'm sad about losing is the carnival dance song (the song is silly but it was fun to watch as a kid), but that sequence really breaks up the flow of the early story and is an easy cut to save time without impacting the plot.

Edit summary: Combines all of the Marvel superhero movies relevant to the Avengers series together with them, while carefully cutting any bad acting, scripts, or irrelevant time wasting side-plots that don't add to the character development.
