Two iconic movie scenes received AI fan edits, except they failed to meet expectations

In this digital age, rendering has made editing popular movies so much easier. Two content creators recently put their skills to the task, making some controversial changes to a few iconic film scenes.

Even when movies are nearly perfect, fans always want more. A feature could be ninety percent fanservice, and it's still not enough, which was the case with Deadpool and Wolverine.

Despite creating the superhero team-up of the century, some fans still wanted more from them. One request was having Hugh Jackman wear the iconic blue and yellow cowl in every pivotal scene, including the first face-off in front of the 20th Century Fox sign. A YouTuber went one step further and edited the face/cowl themselves.

As you can see, the edit superimposes the same mask Jackman wears when the Deadpool Corps shows up on him when he fights Wade Wilson for the first time. Interestingly enough, the cowl didn't have the desired effect. While it may look cool to see Jackman perform Wolverine's Berserker Barrage—in the complete costume—facial articulation gives the character an authentic feel.

Without seeing Jackman contort from perceived pain or his eyes and cheeks straining as he growls, it's not so much Wolverine anymore. The director, Shawn Levy, made the correct call by making Jackman do the scene without the mask. An alternative could work equally well, especially using film-grade equipment, but the end result turned out great.

Jurassic Park Authentic Edit

Deadpool And Wolverine isn't the only movie that fans feel the need to make changes to. Jurassic Park's kitchen scene was also the subject of another AI concoction.

In the scene, Lex and Tim run from a pair of Velociraptors trailing them. They think there's safety in the kitchen until the dinosaurs enter the room. The pair manages to escape, though only by the skin of their teeth.

The proposed edit doesn't alter the narrative's direction. One thing it does, however, is make the genetically engineered theme park monsters more scientifically accurate. They have feathers and less-pronounced snouts versus the theatrical versions that turned out much more menacing. They're also slightly smaller, presumably scaled down to the more accurate size of Deinonychus. Fans may not know this, but the Velociraptors were actually modeled after a separate species.

Do it better

Funnily enough, the producers, writers, and directors produced the best version possible. Because on paper, the notion of Jackman wearing the signature Wolverine mask throughout the entire movie sounds good. But, after watching the fan edit, it's clear that the fight scene with Deadpool turned out better with Jackman's face in the picture. The same goes for the Jurassic Park scene that supposedly needed a detail-accurate correction. It didn't, and those revisions don't need to happen. Even when movies don't play out how we want, they're better off being left alone.

Deadpool And Wolverine is currently streaming on Disney Plus. Jurassic Park is streaming on Sling TV, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.
