Would make economic sense for a ton more of "Choose your own Adventure" content

I can imagine watching Bandersnatch and getting rid of the game developer in frame 1. The remaining 90 minutes, his dad having a quiet, stress-free Tuesday.

Removed brain cancer from xray films

Enjoying 5 seasons of chemistry lessons

Removed the mother. Enjoying 9 seasons of a man cornering his teenagers on a couch, describing every woman he's ever dated.

Removed the ring. Just watching three movies of Frodo and friends living life in Hobbiton.

Removed the zombies. Just a guy in a sheriff's hat losing every group vote on where to camp next.

Removed the island. Now it's just a surgeon, a lottery winner, and a man carrying 40 knives all trying to get through TSA.

Reminded me of "Garfield Minus Garfield" - https://garfieldminusgarfield.net/

"""

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Inserted myself to Friends. Endlessly rewatching every epidode trying hard to disassociate from my real self

That’s the usual mode of watching Friends these days? :)

Nobody can afford real friends in this economy

That's actually a really good idea. It would be like fanfic except replacing actors instead of writing new plots. Die hard fans of various shows would go banas over it.

You forgot the /s

Removed the /s. Nothing materially changed.
