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!

I was extremely disappointed on first watching this in the cinema, a feeling only accentuated when I re-watched it on Disney Plus release. As great as the portrayal of Kang was, there was just too much silliness and I thought this bloated CGI mess could not be redeemed, even by a skilled fan editor- the content just wouldn't be there to create an enjoyable viewing experience. Happy to now say I was wrong. This much more succinct and fast paced version is highly preferably. Much of the silliness and OTT humour has been removed or trimmed. The early scenes have been restructured and we now open with the a focus on Kang, which sets us off on a strong footing. Is it perfect? No, but a minor miracle has been performed with footage available.
