Brief Synopsis:
In CAPTAIN MARVEL - IT’S 1995 ... YonRogg appears a good guy longer, so we're not yelling at Carol for half the movie that “He's lying to you!". Their rescue mission is clarified. The Skrull memory-machine is more straightforward because you can't make memories on the fly. That’s not how remembering works! No AT&T joke. An extra moment of Coulson and Fury. The mid-credit scene is cut and offered as a separate clip, so you can watch this movie before Avengers 1 and not yell "Oh come on! I didn’t want to see that yet! I first want to enjoy Avengers 1 through 3."
Intention:
There weren't many frustrating moments, they were just distracting. I found myself yelling at the screen (I don't usually do that). Those are now cleaned up.
Special Thanks:
Thanks to stferguson78 for convincing me to share this edit.

Cuts and Additions:
Only +20 seconds are added, and 140 seconds are cut.
1) Add 4 seconds of deleted scene showing the monorail in the city. Insert before existing monorail shot.
2) End YonRogg talking to Carol on the monorail with "Control your impulses", to cut some condescending text and him poking her forehead. At this point it needn't be so obvious that he's a bad guy: Carol finds this out over the course of the movie, we can too.
3) Trim 5 seconds of YonRogg's exposition dump for the rescue mission, to improve clarity.
4) Small trim of YonRogg telling the natives he doesn't want to hurt them.
5) Small trim to Carol flashback: of boy telling young Carol a myth.
6) Small trims to Carol's flashback while hooked up to the Skrull machine. To minimize the appearance that the Skrulls can make Carol create memories (if she didn't read Lawson's name tag in her past, she shouldn't be able to bring that into focus in her memory).
7) Cut AT&T joke. The gag breaks my suspension of disbelief that Carol can MacGyver an interplanetary phonecall out of a pay-phone and a gameboy. Now Carol gets cut off by YonRogg instead of Ma Bell.
8) Add 15 seconds of deleted scene of Fury walking into Coulson in the corridor. Cut before Coulson sees Keller. The music leading into the next shot (Carol on motor bike) plays beautifully over Coulson walking away in the corridor.
9) Cut mid-credit scene of pager at Avengers building (add as post-credit scene in Avengers 3. where it's scene of Fury & Hill is shifted to mid-credit scene). Now you can watch Captain Marvel at any point you wish in the Marvel movie line-up, you don't have to stick to the original cinema release schedule.

Much like lapis molari’s Black Panther edit, this is very light with a few deleted scenes and a little reordering - and they work. I’ll always take more Coulson screen time, especially since this is designed to be watched chronologically rather than between Infinity War and Endgame.
While it doesn’t fix my main issue with the movie (it being hard to understand and root for Carol since she doesn’t understand who she is) it does the job of making it fit in it’s new place in the saga. The removal of the original post credit scene and placing the proto-Avengers scene mid credits work really well. It means the final thing we see before the credits roll is Carol at the height of her power which is far better since this is her movie after all.
Picture and audio editing is excellent as ever! It feels like a genuine replacement for the theatrical version with all the changes being seamless!

This light edit of the Captain Marvel movie is outstanding. The audio/video quality is superb and I like the size of the file - not too large or small. The light edits to the story make the main character a little more enjoyable, because her story is more understandable. And the trims to the YonRogg character makes the story less good vs bad...a complex bad guy always makes the story more interesting.
The cut of the mid credit scene is a great change; I prefer to watch this movie at the beginning of the avengers story, in phase 1. Overall, a great edit to the movie. You can't polish a turd but this is a good start.

So, first, I am not an expert on the technical side of things. So it gets a 10 because I never would have known any cuts were made if I didn't know where it came from. Nothing audio, visual, or transitionally stood out to me. From a narrative point of view, nothing really changed, so much as it was tweaked in subtle ways for the better. I would have given the original a 9.5 as one of the best MCU films, and this is a solid 10. Definitely the go to.

The trims may be small, but their added value is great.
While I liked the theatrical edit, there were a few small things that diminished my experience. I didn't like YonRogg and his dynamic with Vers, and felt that certain jokes didn't really work for me (too much emphasis on the Flerken. We get it).
Lapis's edit certainly improves the film. A few gentle trims help strengthen the team dynamic of the Kree and get rid of certain meaningless gags.
From the technical aspects - the editing is flawless, as far as I could tell.
All in all - a solid fanfix and a definite improvement.
