I didn't think that would work, but putting the climax of Superman's crisis of faith (the Pa Kent mountaintop chat) at the beginning of his character arc really worked for me in terms of setting up where Clark is at the start of the story and gives the ending of Man of Steel even more weight as it had a profound impact on both of the main characters.

    The whole Capitol explosion stuff is gone. It's unnecessary. It's only there to make Superman lose faith in himself, which this fan-edit accomplishes by having that be caused by his guilt over the destruction during MoS. This also helped re-contextualize Clark investigation of The Batman's sudden change in tactics by branding them, leading to their deaths in prison. Lois, of course, doesn't get as much to do until the second half, but there's enough of her and Clark's scenes that their love for each other remains very clear so that Clark's sacrifice at the end still hits.
    Holy ****. That sounds interesting.

    I would have definitely removed the Africa subplot and senate bombing from BvS. In MOS he already causes enough damage of his own to call him to task rather than manufacturing new convoluted stuff:

    ➡ He activated the beacon bringing the Kryptonians here in the first place. Sure he didn't know but that is already enough to some people. After all ignorance is not innocence.

    ➡Crashing Zod's ship into Metropolis killing multiple people as shown in BvS.

    ➡Lastly the fight itself. People say he could not move Zod away from the city but at the end after they go to space, Superman dominates Zod and crashes him right back to the city instead of literally anywhere else. One of the buildings destroyed here was LexCorp and after MOS I used to think that would be Lex's motivation in BvS if he was in that building.

    ➡The Smallville fight. Superman took it from the farm to the populated Smallville. I find it hard to believe no one died especially when he bullrushed Zod then the subsequent explosions and high powered gunfire from the military.

    There was already enough to crucify Superman in MOS without making new stuff for BvS and clogging the movie.

    Am I correct in saying Ares killed all the gods (Zeus aside) in WW and that will somehow play into future Shazam/Black Adam movies? Or is the Hercules from sHazam a different Hercules or will Flashpoint just reboot everything?

    Speaking of fan edits, I’m interested in seeing what they end up doing with ZSJL.

    I wonder if they'll acknowledge Wonder Woman and her story at all.

    And will Sivana and Mr. Mind be involved at all?

    There's already several out that have managed to trim the film down to much more manageable lengths, mostly by cutting the extended Knightmare sequences and speeding up the more indulgent slow-mo shots.

    However, a good fan edit sometimes takes a while to make, so I'm going to wait a few months to see which ones rise to the top as the most well regarded.

    There's an interesting series of fan cuts that treats the DCEU films as if its a TV series and intercuts MoS, BvS, WW, Aquaman, and others together. That series might be interesting to watch.

    Keep in mind, just because you the viewer know something, doesn't mean the people in that world do.

    The people did witness the fights and ship crashing in Metropolis. . They are kind of hard to miss.

    Hell, the ship is still there because apparently Clark can't be bothered with it and just leaves it for the governments to dick around with.

    It was never elaborated, but my impression was that Superman leaving the ship there for government to dick around was intentional. You know, I have nothing to hide, lets be friendly and so on.

    And then Lex made a monster with it, so doesn't seem too bright on his part.

    We also probably shouldn't have to fanwank a reason for why he left it there. Because between that and him apparently not helping to clean up Metropolis (was this elaborated on?), it makes it seem like he just doesn't care. These are touches that would help the audience connect with this version.

    He did not had a long standing feud with Lex. At the point he only knew what the rest of the public knew so there was nothing to suspect. It was never elaborated on that he did not helped. It is very likely he did partially based on the pro/contra discussion round clip which shows him helping all around the world (ppl on a rooftop in a flood, Space-shuttle crash, dragging a ship out of the ice, etc).

    We probably should not have to hatewank a reason for why he did not helped
