edit: this is complete and available at IFDB, pm me there for a link!
Not ready to finalise this yet and I've yet to come up with a name. All feedback encouraged.
Reduced the funeral scene https://vimeo.com/822544967
Introduce T'Challa's speech in front of UN, followed by Wakanda into with contrasting news story about Ramonda's isolationism. Chadwick's moment of silence is reserved for the end. When Shuri grieves, we can grieve with her. https://vimeo.com/822545102
Cut from Lab to the mining ship, heavily edited the ship scene just because it was long for no good reason? https://vimeo.com/822545255
Removed Ross' line about execution because it sets up Ross' story that I'm trying to remove https://vimeo.com/822545595
removed the flying komoyo bead attaching to the fed vehicle, that detail was not obvious and I'm drastically shortening this chase scene https://vimeo.com/822545639
shortened chase scene, as it's main reason seemed to be to build up Riri. removed her doing the same kind of thing Tony did in Ironman, removed the Drone as much as I could. Now Riri just smashes the cars with some random thing that she got from somewhere. If necessary I can go back in and add a night footage of flashy looking speedboats to imply she threw a boat? I also sped up the ridiculously slow motion water explosion https://vimeo.com/822545816
Reduced references to Ross' relationship with the woman, removed Ramonda stripping Okoye of her rank, giving Okoye a bit more agency and motivation and making Ramonda seem a little less crazy and vindictive. Now it will seem that Okoye quit when she drove her spear into the ground and feels more like an exit than a 'low point'. https://vimeo.com/822545999
removed more of Ross' relationship subplot https://vimeo.com/822546210
Removed Ramonda's visit to Haiti (part of it to be reintroduced later) https://vimeo.com/822546236
Removed Nakia's investigative mission, it's not really necessary https://vimeo.com/822546272
Removed Nakia preparing to infiltrate and inserted Ramonda going to Haiti and appearing before Nakia, the rest is simply to be inferred https://vimeo.com/822547724
Removed Ross at the headquarters https://vimeo.com/822547909
Removed this conversation with Aneka, it's unnecessary https://vimeo.com/822547961
removed Okoye and Nakia chatting at the market https://vimeo.com/822548041
Removed much of Okoye and Nakia being rescue heroes, the movie's not about them https://vimeo.com/822548189
Removed Ramonda and Riri coordinating the rescue vehicles and Okoye and blue man shot. https://vimeo.com/822548254
removed cutaways from Ramonda's final struggle, we need to focus on this https://vimeo.com/822548300
Removed scene at Ross' house, and the small scene before it that served little purpose https://vimeo.com/822548473
removed Okoye recruiting Aneka, we don't ned this focus on them https://vimeo.com/822548501
Removed the heart shaped herb ritual to shift the impact of her decision to when she appears before M'Baku https://vimeo.com/822548536
reintroduced portions of the heart shaped herb ritual to add weight to Nakia's warning https://vimeo.com/822550092
reduced emphasis on Riri https://vimeo.com/822550283
Further reduction of Riri https://vimeo.com/822550541
And again https://vimeo.com/822550575
And again https://vimeo.com/822550865
and again, but also some pointless clips of wakandans regrouping. https://vimeo.com/822550865
removed excessively long underwater shots https://vimeo.com/822550923
Reduced focus on the Wakandans battle and the Midnight Angel things. https://vimeo.com/822550970
extremely complicated edit to remove all cutaways. This battle doesn't work for me with any kind of cutaway. I tried many things, even flashbacks to what would be in Shuri's mind, but it always ruins it for me. https://vimeo.com/822551069
Removed Namor's laugh https://vimeo.com/822551235
redid this sequence. The original was rather random and confusing. After much study, i realised it was comparing Shuri's values to Namor's values. I restructured it to make these values more cohesive. Shuri is now recounting in her mind as follows; losing her mother in namor's assault, then tracing her memory backwards to the wakandan village, then back to namor's callousness before that in Talokan, remembering the people in Talokan , starting to see their commonalities, they both loved their mother and both lost their mother, ending on her love for her mother most of all. https://vimeo.com/822551260
Removed Namor back in Talokan for end credits, and removed midnight angel rescuing Ross https://vimeo.com/822551417
removed music fade in, https://vimeo.com/822551438
connected the end credits scene right here. https://vimeo.com/822551488
And inserted Namor's speech as end credits scene, but I ran out of accounts to upload a clip XD
