Avengers: Age of Ultron - Extinction Edition

A nice upgrade from SamSpiders3 Extended Edition Everyone I showed this to loved it and asked "How did he find these deleted scenes"

If you like "Avengers: Age of Ultron," this is more of that movie. Deleted scenes have been expertly restored, and the result is an improved cut that benefits from additional character beats. The central problems of the movie still remain, of course (why is Jarvis not a good enough AI to defend the planet against aleins? Why is Ultron's nonsense evil plan so nonsense?), but the biggest strengths of the movie was always the interactions of the characters, and there's more of that here. My one criticism would be the Thor cave sequence: Possessed Thor is hard to understand, and despite being Infinity Stone set-up, it doesn't add anything to the movie or the Infinity Saga as a whole, so I prefer the bare-minimum theatrical version of this scene. All in all, though, a terrific fan restoration of deleted material that's superior to the official cut. Congrats to Bobson Dugnutt on a job well done!

Excellent integration of deleted scenes back into the original. I liked the clever ways you reintroduced/alluded to scenes with unfinished effects (i.e. Hulk and the soccer ball).

Didn't notice any issues with cuts (I did notice them because I'm familiar with the source and deleted scenes, but that's to no fault of editing)

Another great EE by Dugnutt. I look forward to the next!

This edit improves significantly on both the Theatrical Cut and Samspider3's edit.
The theatrical cut seemed overachieving to me, and failed to leave a lasting impression on me. Specifically, I felt that it wasn't really the *age* of Ultron but rather the week of Ultron. In addition, its opening scene relied on the post-credits scene of Winter Soldier, a fact that diminished from the film as a cohesive unit. Samspider3's cut added well needed volume to this film and helped flesh out certain characters, but the visual effects were not finished.
In comes Bobson's cut. The amount of work and love put in this cut is evident and quite staggering - finalizing all the unfinished VFX sounds crazy to me, but Bobson did it flawlessly. Also, the added/extended footage enhances the narrative (e.g., the stages of Ultron's plan are spaced out. Still doesn't feel like an *age*, but an improvement nonetheless ); helps with continuity (e.g., as Flaminio mentioned, Joburg is quite far from the coast); and further fleshes out each of the main characters (e.g., Quicksilver).
Technically, the edit is very close to perfect. I detected one issue (a missing word at the 1:26:48 mark), but Bobson promised to fix it ASAP.
In conclusion, to paraphrase T'challah: Somebody get this editor a job in Hollywood.
