They're something I come back to every couple of years, there's always something interesting at fanedit.org.
Trying to download fanedits can be a stress though - they've been raided by dmca so they have to make it kind of difficult to get the video files.
The whole concept doesn't get enough attention imo. The idea of being able to modify something that the accountants dictated is really attractive.
Yeah, I'd read the comic or watch an edit of the first couple of seasons at the most, the rw prepper vibe that built up around the later seasons is no bueno. Literally never watched an episode somehow. Post game show lol.
Prison Break is another famous edit that condenses 2 seasons into 2 self contained movies, and does it well.
