Jonathan: Oh yeah, the choices are either "WTF this makes no sense" or "WTF this is too much" but option 2 has some pretty cool shots of the superwave so I like that one

Deleted.

One of the very few "director's cut" editions that improved a film was Blade Runner, and that mostly by taking things out (Ford's awful voiceover, demanded by the studio and recorded basically under duress).

Also The Abyss which adds back in the "aliens think we will become a threat in the future because cold war and want to wipe us out now unless Ed Harris talks then down" subplot

Which both is “a little too much” and helps the otherwise pretty nonsensical ending (assistance from the NTIs) make more sense.

Same. And I’m a sucker for Cold War stories, so that element always hits for me (a reason I love For All Mankind on Apple+)
