Synopsis:

An edit of an almost perfect X-Men film that adds the best of the official Extended Edition to the Theatrical cut, while also trimming and cutting bits and pieces here and there. A few jokes, lines, Mystique moments, breaking of the time-travel rules and the ending have been cut and changed from the film as to better the overall story and narrative thrust.

Intentions:

I wanted to trim and shift a few things to make, in my eyes, the perfect cut of DOFP. There have always been things that bugged me, so now I get to go in and fix them up.

Change List:

Cutlist: - replaced opening Marvel card with X-Men themed one from X3 - cut Kitty's "too late assholes" and used extended Sentinal shot from VFX reel to cover the cut - added additional Prof. X line from Trailer 2 during the opening monalogue - cut Colossus' unneeded and metallic delivery of "Mystique" - regraded Vietnam sequence to reduce the yellow tint - regraded Pentagon breakout to reduce the blue tint, now the cell and kitchen have more of a neutral white look - cut Magneto/Quicksilver exchange "what?, Whip. Lash." - cut Magneto/Quicksilver exchange in the elevator "what did you do dude?" - cut Magneto's comment to Wolverine "imagine if they were made of metal" - cut the entire scene of Mystique seducing and choking out the Vietnamese ambassador - added "Paris" title card to a shot of the city, as it was cut from the above scene - cut 70s Wolverine waking back up so it doesn't ruin the time travel logic that the film creates. He simply has a bit of PTSD when he sees Stryker - cut the self-referential close up of Star Trek on Beast's TV - cut "wow, all three channels" - cut shot of Trask looking at the real Nixon as to also surprise us with Mystique - regraded the new future sequence to be a little less yellow and golden - cut Stryker revealed to be Mystique before the credits Rogue Cut Content added to TC - added brief shot of a tribute wall to slain mutants - added Warpath lighting a candle for the slain mutants, showing the wall once more - extended discussion about sending Wolverine back - added small chat with Kitty/Iceman about handling the trip - uncut scene of Wolverine vs mob goons - added 2 moments of Prof X and Beast laughing at Wolverine due to his time travel explanation - added Prof X refering to Wolverine as a "Tall, angry fellow with the contentious hair" - fixed off-time music cue as Mystique (as Trask) leaves the mini-vault to talk to the secretary - added 2 bits of Nixon profanity - added Prof X threatening to hunt Mystique down - added Magneto seeing the coin he put through Shaw's head in First Class - added additional tracking shot as Magneto lifts the RFK Stadium - added mid-credits scene with Trask Time added - 2:54 Time cut - 4:34.
