Kang: Quantumania

First of all, Ant-Man 3 is a challenge in itself as source material. With so many problems: M.O.D.O.K., bad CGI and unfunny humor, only an edit that cuts a lot (and I mean a lot) out of the existing film and puts everything with Kang in the foreground can work here. And that's what this edit does. Here and there you can unfortunately recognize stronger cuts and rough transitions. My biggest problem with the cut, however, is the narrative: With the advance coverage of Kang at the beginning of the movie by Janet, it makes no sense why the Van Dyke family would want to communicate with the Quantum Realm in the first place, heck why they even wonder later on why things are that bad in there as soon as they enter the Quantum Realm and the adventure happens. At this point, they already have prior knowledge because of Janet (even if it didn't make sense that Janet NEVER said anything about Kang before in the original cut).

Overall: If you want to scnee the most important scenes (of Kang) then this cut is for you. Thanks tremault for your work!

A good edit from a technical perspective. Narratively, the movie was also tighter and well-rounded. Tremault did a great job with this edit, ultimately improving the movie into a more watcheable, fun, marvel action flick.

This was a very solid edit. The editor turned what I felt was a mediocre/okay movie into a good one.

I should note I watched this edit by mirroring my laptop to my television because for reasons unknown to me the video file was incompatible with my TV. Thankfully, the video quality remained quite sharp and the audio was spot on. There were no noticeable issues there. I did note some minor instances of where there were cuts of dialogue. Would a casual or first-time viewer notice those cuts? Probably not. I watched the edit knowing in advance what to expect, which I regret. I should have came in blind to maximize my viewing pleasure.

Like other reviews stated, the rearranging of scenes, particularly the new opening (and even title of the movie), were all solid changes to help setup a better tone for the movie. The editor really excelled at removing 2 characters from the movie. I knew they were removed in advance, and I was looking to see if that caused the narrative to become disjointed. I did not notice anybody was missing, and all credit to the editor here.

My biggest and only gripe with the edit was the heartbeat portion. It did not resonate with me. I felt it disrupted the tension instead of amplifying it. It came off as forced and unnatural. Perhaps heavy breathing sounds would have been a better fit.

This edit turns this movie into a fun and enjoyable experience that is good for all ages with the removal of sexual references. I do not have a problem with adult material, but really unecessary in a Marvel movie that appeals to children. Overall, the edit made this a good movie, but I would not call it great given the limitations of the material the editor had to work with. Making it into a good movie is all one could ask for.

I want to thank tremault for sharing her edit with me. I recommend others to give it a shot as this is definitely one to rewatch in the future.

highlighted kang (hence the name) and cut out a lot of needless filler. it felt very seamless and propelled this MCU film to now one of my fav phase 5 movies. this is my goto for rewatching now

I had never seen Ant Man & The Wasp Quantumania before but after watching the Loki season 2 my friends suggested I go back and watch it to gain some further understanding of the way the MCU are doing things (I have however read the comics that are inspiring the storyarcs present in the current MCU). I saw that the movie had some underwhelming reviews and audience response and so I thought I'd find a fan edit that would improve the movie for my first viewing and stumbled across Kang: Quantumania. After watching I was very entertained! Nothing felt out of place and the storyline and editing were cohesive and easy to follow, sure theres still some cringe Disney quips going on (can't do much about that...), but as for the edit itself it was an incredibly enjoyable movie and I am thoroughly impressed in how you managed to take a movie that was apparently so poorly paced and disorganised and make it incredibly enjoyable. I would recommend anyone to give this edit a watch if you appreciate the stories Marvel are offering, even if Disney are the ones screwing up the production side of the project.
