The Avengers 12 hour long MCU movie!

[DoubleO_Stark]

Would you guys watch a fully chronologically edited film, with all the in-between scenes of the MCU movies?

I think it would all be about 12 hours long including The Avengers.

 

[natey2k4]

I'd prefer to wait for the next set and do a 24-hour marathon!

But I could easily watch the current films in one day, if I wanted.

I've watched the entire extended LOTR trilogy twice in the same day.

 

[Avenger]

The six movies of Phase One are a combined 744 minutes (though I don't know if that includes credits; it probably does). So if you edit out all of the movies' credit sequences, that would put it well under twelve hours long (720 minutes).

What I'd do, if I had the video editing skills, would be to take the six movies and edit them into like a 13-episode miniseries with each episode running about 50 minutes each. *sigh* If only...

I would. I was thinking about editing the movies myself.

I know, right?

I've always wanted to take deleted scenes that I like and place them in the movie.

I'm sure with the Avengers, I'd much rather watch the 3-hour cut than the 2:20 cut.

I wouldn't have the time or the patience to sit through all the Marvel movies.

Oh yeah, there are definitely some deleted scenes I'd want to include. Mostly the alternate opening to The Incredible Hulk, some of the scenes of Banner at Betty and Leonard Samson's house, etc. There are others, but I can't remember them all right now.

It would only be once in my life but I think it would be interesting.

 

[natey2k4]

Isn't that something like 22 hours long?

Hahah, I think my sentence structure came out a bit wrong. The trilogy is about 11 1/2 hours, give or take.

I meant that on two different occasions, I watched the entire trilogy in one day.

 

[thalidomide]

Depends on my mood. I have manage to watch the original SW trilogy and Matrix trilogy on the same day.

 

[DouglasJ]

I've done the editing, not counting Avengers, obviously. But the other five have been edited, with Iron Man 2/Incredible Hulk/Thor being the ones that mostly interwine. I've yet to actually watch it, since my computer has poor RAM and can't handle actually rendering the video file.

 

[Vartha]

I can see a week long series being played on some tv station

 

[CConn]

I'd like to see it, but I honestly don't think the MCU films were made in a way that would enable them to be edited together like that and still make for a cohesive story.

 

[SuperFerret]

Why bother editing them together in the first place? With something that long, you'll need to take bathroom and food breaks, so you might as well just pop in the DVDs in succession.

Because, technically, the films could've been made in a way that re-editing them would make for a more cohesive and linear story.

But they really weren't. The only things that tied the MCU movies together really was the after credit scenes. And IM2.

 

[Drizzle]

The Incredible Hulk would stand out like a sore thumb.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

It does

If someone is going to be that strict about continuity, I would just use the battle scenes with the Hulk.

A friend of mine did this to a very high standard. He is a professional editor. Even the quality of the discs themselves, the menus, the box cover - everything was done superbly (with, perhaps, the exception of 5.1 sound). The music, by and large, was easy to mix from one scene to another or just gently faded out.

The result really does work. He used my timeline and a chronological source http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/5395/A-Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Timeline/

It's on 5 discs of roughly 2 hours each. Finding the points to swap from one disc to another was a bit of a chore to make it work narratively. As is certain days when a number of things happen to make it make perfect sense.

Some of the bigger arcs and larger stories really come to life. Howard Stark, the Arc reactor, the tesseract, super soldier serum all have a deeper meaning.

On top of that some scenes by pure chance seem like they were pre-planned by Marvel (although they weren't) One example is when Foster, Selvig and Darcy are chatting on top of their research centre bemoaning SHIELD interferance at taking all their equipment. Selvig mentions that a Gamma scientist 'bumped' into SHIELD and was never seen again. We then cut to Banner cycling through Culver University delivering pizza.

Also near the beginning you cut from the Jotuns invading Tonsberg and the Asgardians driving them back - the next scene is Schmidt showing up in Tonsberg and taking the Tesseract.

Was a great way of leading up to my viewing pleasure of The Avengers.

I don't think I could watch those 6 movies in just 1 day.

How can i get my hands on it?

Oh, that was easy. A little exhausting near the end, but ultimately very easy. 13 hours of fun.

 

[Nave 'Torment']

Hell yes i would. in fact, that's wht i did ;D

 

[C. Lee]

I like the idea of reediting it into a miniseries.

 

[Kalonthar]

Well, I've gone through the entire extended Lord of the Rings trilogy in a day, I think I could handle the MCU Saga. You know, until we have to include the movies after the Avengers...
