Brief Synopsis:
Wonder Woman 1918 is an entirely new experience from the 2017 original, with tighter pacing, a better climax, and zero connection to the larger DCEU.
Intention:
I loved Wonder Woman, but it does, at times, fall into those same superhero film cliches we've all grown to hate. This edit seeks to refine the film into its most pure form.
Additional Notes:
The New DCEU:
While Wonder Woman 1918 can be viewed as a standalone film, it also acts as the first entry into my New DCEU series, an edit of the entire DCEU franchise that seeks to create a more unified shared universe experience between films. You can view this as a sort of DCEU Continuity series, I suppose. Wonder Woman 1918 is the first film in the New DCEU viewing order, followed by Superman - Last Son.

They start these wars on their own. When you first arrived, I was going to crush you.", now it's more clear that Ares is just trying to trick Diana
-Removed "My dear, I don't want to fight you, but if I must...", now Ares shocks Diana the moment she refuses his offer
-Removed "Good-bye brother", as the line is not at all earned
-Diana's closing narration now begins as she's walking up to the memorial wall to look at Steve's picture
-Removed the modern day ending and the shot of Diana soaring into the sky

Original runtime is 2hr 29m, my trimmed version's runtime clocks in at 2hr 9m, with a whopping 20 minutes cut out for a much tighter pacing with a quicker set-up, less clunky exposition, and a more streamlined final battle with Ares.

The last few days I have watched a ton of the original DCEU films and their fanedits (multiple versions in some them, like this one here), all in the name of preparation for the Flash movie. Thankfully I have only a couple left, both are for the JL, and then I'm done! Journey complete!
Prior to watching this edit I watched Wakeupkeos' version "The Hard Truths" and it was about to be my go-to version until I watched this one. This one just clicked right away with me, from the opening scene 'till the ending with the group photograph. Both of these parts of the movie were handled really well and it actually made more sense, to me at least. Smoother beginning and touching ending, just perfect! I also enjoyed the trimming down of the humor, were was necessary, the really funny bits were kept, and I also enjoyed very much restructuring of the Ares-Diana dialogue at the end.
On the technical side of things, the edit was almost perfect! Almost all the cuts were seamless and you could not tell if something was missing or something that felt off. The only scene where I actually thought that was when Diana is talking with Steve at the magical pool and he makes her realize that she should not stand by and do something, so she goes to steal the weapons. Before we go to that scene, Diana has a brief moment where she realizes this by just thinking, no words. I think this was cut too short and it ended up as being abrupt, the scene needed a little breathing room.
A couple of other choices I did not like, was the inclusion of the scene with the melting mask after Dr Poison have a conversation with the general. This scene is completely unnecessary. Firstly, because they talk about the seriousness of the new gas in the war room later on, so we know that this is a serious threat, and secondly it didn't quite fit with the rest of the sequence. I mean, at one moment Dr. Poison talks about creating the new gas and the very next second we actually see it. I mean, how did that happen so fast? The scene should be cut at the "I've got it, it's going to be terrible" line.
The second scene I did not enjoy that it was left in, involves again Dr. Poison and the General. It's when he throws the new gas at his compatriots at the room and he throw in a mask. For some reason, the editor left in the cartoonish evil laugh scene. This does not fit at all with the tone that this edit has, it's completely out of place.
A last nitpicking that I have is that maybe we could have trimmed a little bit the CGI fest at the end.
Otherwise, this was an almost excellent edit, I believe it will be your go-to version for any future DCEU marathons! I know it will be for me!
Just a note, I think the editor is not active anymore. Even the link that he sent me is not working anymore. If that's truly the case, it's a shame because I also wanted to watch his version of Man of Steel, but it seems it won't be possible..
Thank you TinyBreadMouse foir all your hard work, I hope you return, and thanks to anyone who read my review!

One of the better entries of the recent spate of DC movies is made even stronger thanks to very judicious editing out of exposition and forced humour. The charm of the characters and setting are allowed to stand out even more and although WW will always be in the shadow of that other "superhero-in-a-World-War-starring-a-guy-named-Steve" movie, this cut makes the theme of "war as an eternal, unconquerable aspect of mankind" hit home in a way that gives the film real gravitas, and by the time it gets around to driving home that point, you haven't been checking your watch waiting for the whole thing to be over. My one criticism would be the decision to remove the explicit statement that Diana is the God-Killer weapon. Although I'm perfectly OK with the film retaining Diana's (proper, let's be honest) origin as a clay sculpture, some clarity-of-stakes in the midst of a climactic CGI slugfest is never a bad idea, to my mind. In all, though, a terrific edit that deserves to be your go-to version of the film for DCEU marathons.

This is a fantastic edit. I like the original film a lot, but TinyBreadMouse nailed the little bits that could use rework. I had to go to the edit list to remind myself of what was done, I could not detect any edits at all while watching.
The biggest improvements are tightening up the intro exposition and the interminable final battle with Ares. The are the parts that really dragged for me in the original and now they move along at a good pace without shortchanging the story. Cutting the cliche or cheesy quips through the movie helps elevate it also.
I just wish the audio were in 5.1 and not stereo, but that didn't reduce enjoyment of this great edit.
