History Main / FanEdit

** Up until the ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' recut, a number of Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse fans loathed the questionable modifications brought to it by Creator/JossWhedon and Music/DannyElfman during the infamously [[TroubledProduction troubled post-production]] after Creator/ZackSnyder's departure. Said modifications broke the thematic continuity and tone that were established by ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and, as a result, a number of fan edits came about, concurrently with the fan calls to Warner Bros to release a director's cut of the film (the latter [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague eventually happened]]). Typical edits include the removal of quips and dodgy comedy bits (such as Flash faceplanting on Wonder Woman), removal of some scenes that featured the [[UnintentionalUncannyValley infamous]] [[SpecialEffectsFailure CGI-recreated face]] of Creator/HenryCavill (including the opening's phone footage where he talks to a bunch of kids), removal of [[SeriesContinuityError continuity errors]], removal of the Russian family, inclusion of the few deleted scenes available as well as some {{missing trailer scene}}s, and heavy [[https://youtu.be/in1FHhD7qy0 rescoring]] with soundtracks from ''Man of Steel'', ''Batman v Superman'' and ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' (with also some additions from other Music/JunkieXL soundtracks at times). Some edits end up as short as 90 minutes, to remove as much Whedon reshoots as possible. Some fans managed to woven ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} (as he was supposed to appear in the Snyder version) in it using his ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' cinematics version, others darken Superman's suit, as the famous black suit was hyped up before the film's release and ultimately not shown.

* There is [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1usgfrG85NCcUZVeVdtVmJScTQ/view a fan edit]] of the entire ''Literature/ReZero'' anime which removes all the time loops, giving an outside perspective of how insane Subaru looks when he resets.

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': The first English Dub by ''Creator/DICEntertainment'' had [[MissingEpisode a few episodes cut]] during its first run due to syndication rules. Consisting of Sailor Moon-only episodes from the first season, the OriginsEpisode focusing on Minako/Sailor Venus, as well as the [[BeachEpisode Beach Episodes]] from the first two seasons (including R's infamous beach episode). Dedicated fans have come together to give these "lost" episodes the [=DIC=]-style treatment, complete with the [=DIC=] intro, lingo, [[DubNameChange name changes]], [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong the theme song]], soundtrack and cues [[{{Retraux}} exactly like in the 90's version]], as well as their very own [[PublicServiceAnnouncement "Sailor Says" PSA's]] [[note]](Unofficially dubbed "House Of Misfortune", "Pet Shop Of Horrors", "Cupid's Melody", "A Ghastly Vacation" and "Venus' Love Triangle")[[/note]]. Fans have also come together to unabridge/de-bowdlerise the first season finale "Day of Destiny" back into a two-episode finale as it was originally with everything intact. Finally, there is an ongoing effort to [[UnfinishedDub finish the series]] and give the last season ''Stars'' a [=DIC=]/Cloverway styled makeover in vein of the original dub.

** The "Red Book Edition", created by Scaperat, was one of the first major fanedits made for the movie, going back to 2007, and integrated several deleted sequences while integrating music from ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' and ''Film/Alien3''. Notably, it cuts down on ridiculous moments like Chase Meridian's... less-gracious behavior, and some of the more over-the-top action sequences. It even had a 15th anniversary "enhanced" edition, from fellow editor [=INIGHTMARES=], that improved the visual fidelity of the cut and added in film grain to make it closer to a "noir" experience.
** The "Virtual Workprint" (a cut that deliberately tries to simulate the look of an early version of the film by hewing closer to early scripts and integrating material from the deleted scenes and trailers) received praise when it was released in 2011, both for making the film flow more logically (the film opens with a re-ordered sequence of events that begins with Bruce's visit to Wayne Enterprises, where he meets Edward Nygma, before the bank robbery), but also integrates parts of composer Elliot Goldenthal's score from ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' to enhance sequences that were originally devoid of music.

** Shortly after the poor performance of ''Justice League'', Creator/BenAffleck distanced himself from the role of Batman, putting a halt to the spin-off he had been developing with Creator/MattReeves, which led to a relaunch of the franchise with Creator/RobertPattinson in the role. Fans took to splicing footage of Affleck's existing material as Batman, as well as his ''Film/SuicideSquad'' cameo and some appearances in other non-DC films to try and bring his Batman spin-off to life. Some of these even use fan film footage for the fight scenes with Deathstroke, who was intended to be the antagonist. Footage of the streaming-exclusive series ''Series/{{Titans|2018}}'' is also used to include Dick Grayson.

** Season 26B Productions has created 15 edits for the 8th Doctor and 2 edits for the War Doctor under the unfinished continuation, Season 26C. These projects took footage from other films and television that feature Paul McGann and John Hurt, combined them with extra dialogue and narration from impressionists, footage of monsters from the classic and modern series alike, and scenes with companions that have never been in the show, using footage with the Big Finish voice actresses for Lucie Miller and comic companion Izzy Sinclair.

* There exists at least one edit of ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier'' that recuts the film down to a 40-minute TV episode length, and others that simply excise the more infamously crappy moments.
* The Man Behind the Mask also gave us ''Film/{{Jaws}}: The Sharksploitation Edit''. It was his first grindhouse edit and came before ''War of the Stars'', and turned one of the greatest thrillers of all time into a B movie.
* The ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise attracts a lot of editors, especially those who were given ''[[Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines Rise of the Machines]]'' and are looking to make lemonade.
* The 70's[=/=]80's ''Film/{{Superman|FilmSeries}}'' films also tend to be given a lot of attention, given the controversial nature of Creator/RichardDonner and Richard Lester's different takes on ''Film/SupermanII'', resulting in many hybrid cuts. Selutron has attempted an edit of ''II'' into what ''he thinks'' would've been the version released had Donner stayed on. Selutron felt the existing "Richard Donner cut" had too many issues (using worse takes, copy-and-paste music, odd-looking effects), and sought to fix them with this version.
* Floating around somewhere on the Internet is an edit of ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', which restores the deleted scenes included on the home release, and changes the ending to [[spoiler:Scott ending up with Knives]].
* One brave soul on Website/YouTube edited the original ''Film/{{Planet of the Apes|1968}}'' into [[http://theforbidden-zone.com/media/tzone.shtml a 24-minute episode]] of ''Series/{{The Twilight Zone|1959}}'', which makes sense, since Creator/RodSerling was one of the original film's writers. Using original ''Zone'' background music, re-tinting the episode in greyscale, and adding opening and closing narration from two original ''Zone'' episodes. It has been well received by many die-hard ''Zone'' fans, including Marc Scott Zicree, author of ''The Twilight Zone Companion'', who basically called it the 157th episode of the series.
* ''Film/TheHobbit'''s mixed reception led to a number of these, generally with the goals of hacking down three films and nine hours of screentime into something less ponderous, and removing elements seen as unfaithful to the book or padding. The subplots of Gandalf investigating the Necromancer and Kili and Tauriel's love triangle are usually first on the chopping block, and Bilbo's character arc tends to receive priority in scenes that stay. The two most well-regarded, both clocking in at around four hours, seem to be the ''Bilbo Edit'', which tries to hew as close to the book as possible (even featuring a "chapter"-style division), and the ''Maple Films'' edit, which aims more for cohesion and pacing to create something professional. The creator of the latter even had enough footage left over to create an hour-long film about Gandalf, the White Council and Thorin's family, called ''Durin's Folk and the Hill of Sorcery''.
* A 20th anniversary edit of the infamous ''Film/SuperMarioBros1993'' was made in 2013. Another edit dubbed the "Morton Jankel Cut" came out in 2021, combining newly-recovered deleted scenes with rearranged footage from the theatrical cut.
* Creator/StevenSoderbergh put together [[http://extension765.com/sdr/16-heavens-gate-the-butchers-cut an "immoral and illegal" edit]] of ''Film/HeavensGate'' that trimmed the five-and-a-half-hour epic to under two hours. He tightens up the narrative, ditches the epilogue and [[spoiler:puts the Harvard scenes at the end as a flashback]].

* ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'': Up until the ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' recut, a number of Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse fans loathed the questionable modifications brought to it by Creator/JossWhedon and Music/DannyElfman during the infamously [[TroubledProduction troubled post-production]] after Creator/ZackSnyder's departure. Said modifications broke the thematic continuity and tone that were established by ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and, as a result, a number of fan edits came about, concurrently with the fan calls to Warner Bros to release a director's cut of the film (the latter [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague eventually happened]]). Typical edits include the removal of quips and dodgy comedy bits (such as Flash faceplanting on Wonder Woman), removal of some scenes that featured the [[UnintentionalUncannyValley infamous]] [[SpecialEffectsFailure CGI-recreated face]] of Creator/HenryCavill (including the opening's phone footage where he talks to a bunch of kids), removal of [[SeriesContinuityError continuity errors]], removal of the Russian family, inclusion of the few deleted scenes available as well as some {{missing trailer scene}}s, and heavy [[https://youtu.be/in1FHhD7qy0 rescoring]] with soundtracks from ''Man of Steel'', ''Batman v Superman'' and ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' (with also some additions from other Music/JunkieXL soundtracks at times). Some edits end up as short as 90 minutes, to remove as much Whedon reshoots as possible. Some fans managed to woven ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} (as he was supposed to appear in the Snyder version) in it using his ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' cinematics version, others darken Superman's suit, as the famous black suit was hyped up before the film's release and ultimately not shown.
** ''Film/JusticeLeagueTheEliteEdition'' is one of these.
** Shortly after the poor performance of ''Justice League'', Creator/BenAffleck distanced himself from the role of Batman, putting a halt to the spin-off he had been developing with Creator/MattReeves, which led to a relaunch of the franchise with Creator/RobertPattinson in the role. Fans took to splicing footage of Affleck's existing material as Batman, as well as his ''Film/SuicideSquad'' cameo and some appearances in other non-DC films to try and bring his Batman spin-off to life. Some of these even use fan film footage for the fight scenes with Deathstroke, who was intended to be the antagonist. Footage of the streaming-exclusive series ''Series/{{Titans|2018}}'' is also used to include Dick Grayson.

* A ''Film/{{Memento}}'' edit rearranges the scenes in chronological order.
* An interesting variation is described in [[AnalysisChannel Nerdwriter1]]'s essay on ''Film/{{Passengers|2016}}'', as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gksxu-yeWcU here.]] Writer Evan Puschak describes his view that the film is fundamentally both the wrong genre and from the wrong point of view, and how the film makers basically [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot dropped the ball]] by not focusing on the more disturbing overtones of the film. Instead of being a sci-fi romance from Creator/ChrisPratt's viewpoint, it should be a sci-fi thriller from Creator/JenniferLawrence's perspective. He then proceeds to demonstrate how this can be accomplished with amazing ease by just changing the order of scenes and cutting the ending.

* ''Film/NeverSayNeverAgain'': Given its status as an unofficial Bond film[[note]]Thanks to being involved in a script that became the basis for Creator/IanFleming's ''Literature/{{Thunderball}}'', Kevin [=McClory=] gained the film rights to the story. After helping to produce a [[Film/{{Thunderball}} ''Thunderball'' film]] with Creator/EonProductions, the studio behind the official Bond series, a clause in his contract allowed him to make his own Bond film using the same material after enough time had passed, without any involvement with Eon.[[/note]], ''[[https://ifdb.fanedit.org/james-bond-007-never-say-mcclory-again/ Never Say McClory Again]]'' seeks to add in elements from the main film series the original film couldn't use. This includes adding a gunbarrel opening, Maurice Binder title sequence, and a score with the iconic Bond theme.
* With the ''X-Men'' series, several edits exist that try to sort out the persistent continuity issues with the franchise, while others are made to help try to 'redeem' entries perceived to be flawed. To this end, attempts have been made to merge the plotlines of ''Dark Phoenix'' and ''X-Men: The Last Stand'' to create a new narrative for Jean, where she gains the Phoenix force as a teen and grows with it into an adult.

* ''Film/BatmanForever'' has had several fanedits released, some of which have courted a large amount of press:
** The "Red Book Edition", created by Scaperat, was one of the first major fanedits made for the movie, going back to 2007, and integrated several deleted sequences while integrating music from ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' and ''Film/Alien3''. Notably, it cuts down on ridiculous moments like Chase Meridian's... less-gracious behavior, and some of the more over-the-top action sequences. It even had a 15th anniversary "enhanced" edition, from fellow editor [=INIGHTMARES=], that improved the visual fidelity of the cut and added in film grain to make it closer to a "noir" experience.
** The "Virtual Workprint" (a cut that deliberately tries to simulate the look of an early version of the film by hewing closer to early scripts and integrating material from the deleted scenes and trailers) received praise when it was released in 2011, both for making the film flow more logically (the film opens with a re-ordered sequence of events that begins with Bruce's visit to Wayne Enterprises, where he meets Edward Nygma, before the bank robbery), but also integrates parts of composer Elliot Goldenthal's score from ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' to enhance sequences that were originally devoid of music.

* ''Series/PrisonBreak''[='=]s first season was trimmed down into a 'movie' trilogy, its open ending tied off to offer closure.

* There's a version of ''Series/KnightRider 2000'' where [[spoiler:Devon Miles ''isn't'' killed]]. The editor recently went back and created a new version of it which can be viewed [[https://zaredit.wordpress.com/2018/01/03/knight-rider-2000-one-cut-can-make-a-difference-fanedit-org-version// here]]
* ''The Last Son of Krypton'' by editor Souperboyx, is a mammoth five-hour supercut merging a condensed and fresh take on key story beats from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' with the narrative body of Creator/ZackSnyder's ''Film/ManOfSteel'', utilizing rotoscoping to impose Creator/TomWelling's face on many shots of Creator/HenryCavill.
* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' has received some fanedit treatment, particularly where the infamous fan hoax "Scorpion Rain" is concerned, with several attempts at making the "episode" resulting in ten minute, twenty-five, and even ''forty-five'' minute versions. Most recently, the much reviled output of the Johnathan Tzachor helmed "Neo Saban" seasons have encouraged various fan remixes and edits. There are also edits that cut down several multi-parters from season two, reducing them to just one episode.
** ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Turbo'' is a bold limited mini-series overhaul of the poorly received fifth season of the franchise ''Power Rangers Turbo'', it repurposes several episodes and changes the narratives (example: the rescue zords are now made by Billy), and even provides fans with the Zeo/Turbo crossover that never came be on the show. The season ends with an epic four part version of ''Countdown to Destruction'', which includes, amongst other things, a scene where the Space Rangers destroy Dark Spectre rather than a rogue Darkonda.

* There's an edit of ''{{Series/Daredevil|2015}}'' called ''The Señor Foggy Show'' that cuts out everything Foggy isn't privy to.

* A fan of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''? A fan of the Sherlolly 'ship? Dissatisfied with series three and four? If so The B*llocks Edition (aka The Sherlolly Cut)]] might just be your edit of choice. This edit integrates Anderson's implausible tumblr bait theory from ''The Empty Hearse'' and uses it as the actual climax to the episode (Lestrade refusing to buy it as a plausible explanation is retained however), the edit concludes with [[spoiler: Sherlock proposing he and Molly solve crimes together now that they're a couple]]
* There are least [[https://earthprime.com/video/exodus-excised two]] [[https://zaredit.wordpress.com/2017/02/13/sliders-the-exodus-fanedit/ fanedits]] of the controversial ''Series/{{Sliders}}'' two-parter ''The Exodus'' in an attempt to remove some of the hokier sci-fi elements and give [[spoiler: Arturo's demise]] more dignity or make it look more needless and tragic. One of the edits even repurposes the outcome of the story as [[spoiler: The Sliders helping the doomed Pulsar world's population move to Earth Prime, only they choose to continue sliding afterwards in order to bring Rickman to justice.]]
* As a reality show subject to ManipulativeEditing, there's no surprise that ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' sees the occasional fan edit. The most well-known is of the ''Samoa'' season, which cuts the extraneous [[CreatorsPet Russell Hantz confessionals]] and replaces them with deleted scenes that were cut from the official edit.

* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' has a few edits to its name, two versions of ''Brainiac Attacks'', one feature length, one the standard runtime of an S:TAS episode, which removes the bait-and-switch twist towards the end, allowing Lois to retain knowledge of Clark's duel identity, and an edit of the JL episode 'Heareafter' which uses footage from the movie ''Superman: Doomsday'' to provide more of an insight into Clark and Lois' relationship as well a 'reaction' from Lois to Clark's perceived death.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' ended on its tenth and final season with Splinter telling his students they are now equal to him after they vanquish their Red Sky era nemesis Lord Dregg for good. Three episodes earlier, in the conclusion of a five part story, the Turtles and their past selves fought back against Dregg and their long-running enemies Shredder and Krang. Feeling as if the final moments of the finale would have been better served at the end of this one, and dissatisfied with how abrupt the end of this particular episode was, a fan editor put together ''Turtles To The Second Power-Finale Fanedit'' which adds the final scene of the official finale ''Divide and Conquer" to the end of "Turtles To The Second Power" to give more fitting closure to the epic five part event and make the story a worthy finale to the classic TMNT animated series.
* Only two days passed following its premiere before the new series of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' got the fanedit treatment, as a cut exists of the first half of the premiere story "Suspended Animation" and episode five's "Good Warner Hunting", combined to form one epic 22 minute story.

* The 70's[=/=]80's ''Film/{{Superman}}'' films also tend to be given a lot of attention, given the controversial nature of Creator/RichardDonner and Richard Lester's different takes on ''Film/SupermanII'', resulting in many hybrid cuts. Selutron has attempted an edit of ''II'' into what ''he thinks'' would've been the version released had Donner stayed on. Selutron felt the existing "Richard Donner cut" had too many issues (using worse takes, copy-and-paste music, odd-looking effects), and sought to fix them with this version.

* ''Anime/QueenEmeraldas'' has been recut as "Galaxy Express 999 - Queen Emeraldas", which streamlines everything and makes the tone darker

* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': The first English Dub by ''Creator/DICEntertainment'' had [[MissingEpisode a few episodes cut]] during its first run due to syndication rules. Consisting of Sailor Moon-only episodes from the first season, the OriginsEpisode focusing on Minako/Sailor Venus, as well as the [[BeachEpisode Beach Episodes]] from the first two seasons (including R's infamous beach episode). Dedicated fans have come together to give these "lost" episodes the [=DIC=]-style treatment, complete with the [=DIC=] intro, lingo, [[DubNameChange name changes]], [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong the theme song]], soundtrack and cues [[{{Retraux}} exactly like in the 90's version]], as well as their very own [[PublicServiceAnnouncement "Sailor Says" PSA's]] [[note]](Unofficially dubbed "House Of Misfortune", "Pet Shop Of Horrors", "Cupid's Melody", and "Venus' Love Triangle")[[/note]]. Fans have also come together to unabridge/de-bowdlerise the first season finale "Day of Destiny" back into a two-part finale as it was originally with everything intact.

* ''LightNovel/DenpaTekiNaKanojo'' has a "OAV Recut" that uses and trims footage from the first episode alone to work as a stand-alone introduction to the Light Novel without presenting plot-points left hanging but still stimulating for more.

* ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'': Up until the ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' recut, a number of Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse fans loathed the questionable modifications brought to it by Creator/JossWhedon and Music/DannyElfman during the infamously [[TroubledProduction troubled post-production]] after Creator/ZackSnyder's departure. Said modifications broke the thematic continuity and tone that were established by ''Film/ManOfSteel'' and ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and, as a result, a number of fan edits came about, concurrently with the fan calls to Warner Bros to release a director's cut of the film (the latter [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague eventually happened]]).

Some edits end up as short as 90 minutes, to remove as much Whedon reshoots as possible. Some fans managed to woven ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} (as he was supposed to appear in the Snyder version) in it using his ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' cinematics version, others darken Superman's suit, as the famous black suit was hyped up before the film's release and ultimately not shown.

* ''Manga/{{Shiki}}'' received a Movie Recut Duology that cut away a massive amount of padding and development for minor characters that at the end just brought nothing to the focal plot

** The "Red Book Edition", created by Scaperat, was one of the first major fanedits made for the movie, going back to 2007, and integrated several deleted sequences while integrating music from ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' and ''Film/Alien3''. Notably, it cuts down on ridiculous moments like Chase Meridian's... less-gracious behavior, and some of the more over-the-top action sequences. It even had a 15th anniversary "enhanced" edition, from fellow editor [=FanFix=], that improved the visual fidelity of the cut and added in film grain to make it closer to a "noir" experience.

* A 20th anniversary edit of the infamous ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' was made in 2013. Another edit dubbed the "Morton Jankel Cut" came out in 2021, combining newly-recovered deleted scenes with rearranged footage from the theatrical cut.

** There have been several efforts by fans to colorize the first six seasons of the Classic Series, which were shot on black and white videotape; while no known efforts to colorize a full serial have ever seen success (the closest anyone's gotten so far was coloring episode 2 of ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E4TheDaleksMasterPlan The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' in its entirety), various colorized clips [[SturgeonsLaw of variable quality]] have emerged on the internet. Perhaps the most notable and most well-done colorization efforts have come from the channels [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BabelColour Babelcolour]] ([[PromotedFanboy who actually ended up]] leading the BBC's official color restoration of ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E2TheMindOfEvil The Mind of Evil]]''[='s=] first episode) and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXWaWRE_qwOHc0CIo1K38Uw WhoColour]].

* ''[[Manga/OnePiece One Pace]]'' is a fan edit of the ''One Piece'' anime, which intends to cut back the filler and {{padding}} that has caused the pacing of the story to drag, especially since the TimeSkip. While not all arcs have not been fully recut, there have been significant reductions in episode count in some of the completed recuts. The Dressrosa arc? Originally 118 episodes cut down to 48. Whole Cake Island? 101 to 39.

* ''[[Manga/{{Naruto}} Naruto Kai]]'' is a fan edit in the same vein as the aforementioned ''Dragon Ball Recut''. This series, however, also adapts ''Shippuden'', and each episode covers the same amount of content that would be found in one volume of the manga[[note]]In order to be directly comparable, ''Dragon Ball Recut'' would have to adapt ''Dragon Ball Z'' as well[[/note]]. As of writing, the series has 70 episodes, and plans to end with 72. For comparison's sake: the first ''Naruto'' series ended with ''220'' episodes, and ''Shipuuden'' ended with 500, for a total of '''[[ArchivePanic 720]]''' episodes, ''ten times'' the number of episodes ''Naruto Kai'' plans to have.

* The feature-length 'series finale' edit of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}'' animated series combines the already epic five parter 'Man Or Machine' with the two-parter 'To Dare Dominion' and some footage from the episodes ''Operation: Starfall'' and ''The Better Half'' to tell the definitive last chapter in the Centurions saga

* ''WesternAnimation/{{MASK}}'': The M.A.S.K series finale edit combines the first season episodes 'Assault on Liberty' and 'Eyes of the Skull', cutting out both of the episodes StatusQuoIsGod endings, to create a more fitting high-stakes conclusion to the series.

* ''Amazing Spider-Man: Last Remains Recut'' attempts to cut down the overstuffed event of fall 2020 by eliminating the need for the additional .LR issues, rearranging key sequences, borrowing pages from other books, and utilizing only one post-mortem edition to tell an alternate take on the existing story
** ''Amazing Spider-Man: The Night Gwen Stacy Lived'', by the same editor, is a re-telling of the notorious ''Amazing Spider-Man#121'' only using pages from a vintage 1970s edition of ''What If...?'' to change the ending to well...the title is self-explanatory
** ''Amazing Spider-Man: New Ways to Die Recut'', again by the same editor, attempts to show how seamless it really is to integrate Spider-Marriage material into a ''Brand New Day'' era Spider-Man story without contradicting continuity.
