Arrested Development Season 4 Remix Out (May 4th)
- Thread starter Smokeymicpot
- Start date
Secret hope is that they were able to re shoot some scenes piggybacking off the fact they were together for S5 shooting
Yeah this is fantastic. Everything is so much tighter and less meandering.
Watched the first episode, kind of gave me a headache with all of the cuts and the green screen. I don't remember it being this bad the last time I watched it.
First 10 minutes is wonky, it's much cleaner after the recap.
Oh fuck me, I watched the episodes title E#: Original and was wondering why it didn't seem different at all. Welp, at least I'll know the differences now.
Just finished Episode 1 Remix. Definitely a lot better than the Episode 1 original. Laughed a lot too.
A good sign so far.

I feel like arrested development finally got a season 4 and it's fantastic so far. What amazing things editing can do.
I was thinking the same thing. Was curious to compare the two versions and couldn't find it. Thanks Kevers for the location.
Finally finished watching the Remixed Episode 1. By god, the difference is staggering. I actually laughed out loud a couple of times.
The only weird part is that they made the green screen effects wooooorse, but I think that's to go for the intentional "cheap" effect?

Yeah, also on episode two, the flow of this feels a lot better (as I mentioned before, several years removed from the original cut), even with longer scenes and such.
Also, the line, "Oh, I thought you were hair" is too incredible.
Im really surprised how well this is working so far, 4 episodes in. It's flowing really well, and I feel like there are additional scenes that weren't there before? It wasn't that long ago I rewatched this, and I definitely don't remember some of this stuff here.
So far thumbs up
So far thumbs up
Just had a quick look, is there no way to watch the original on Netflix anymore? I was thinking of doing a rewatch before watching final remix but I couldn't find it.
On episode 7, REALLY enjoying it.
The sound mix alone is so much better. As is the editing.
The green screen effects are the same. They were always that bad.

Give it an episode, first one is very narration heavy.
It gets better.
That's my only problem so far.
I find these new episodes much tighter and funnier, but I'm having a harder time figuring out where in the timeline things are happening in comparison to the original Season 4.
Considering Season 4 Remix isn't actually supposed to go live until tomorrow, this was what was being released in celebration of Cinco de Quatro.
That wasn't there, and it made me laugh out loud as well.
The double Hello Darkness with GOB and Tobias in ep3 gave hte same reaction.
The color grade in general is really bad. When you see the old S1-3 stuff, the colors are way more natural. Skin tones, etc. Everything is yellow in the new one. When they're side by side, it's even worse.
Watched the first two episodes and this edit is much better than the original season 4. Glad they decided to do it.
This is miles better than the other format. It sort of feels like they trimmed down the fat/slow parts. It also feels way more fast-paced like S1-3.
I think that was one of the main things missing from the OG S4 format. The series was always known for its rapid-fire wit and it can be a bog when an episode focuses solely on one character.
I wonder if media outlets are going to re-review this

The episodes are technically shorter than before since there are 22 now
Whats cracking me up is Young Barry looks sort of like Michael Cohen
I saw the first two episodes and I think the original season 4 flowed better. These episodes are all over the place, and like someone said above, they seem cobbled together.
I'll still power through but right now I'm not very impressed

On Episode 10, it's falling into a bit of a lull with some circular storytelling.
One thing that this needs credit for, keeping 'dickhead Michael' held back a lot more. In the OG edit, he's a fucking prick right away and it starts the series off on the wrong foot. And then you jump right into the worst storyline (George Sr.). As this is, George's story has less pressure on it - and it's more interesting when you're getting it in smaller chunks.
But still...the SOUND MIX...my God. It's so much better.
