Are you implying that some pirate release out there took the time to actually edit the film to change the opening scene?

Well, it would be uncharitable of me to suggest the theorist needs his eyes checked, so I made my own fan theory to explain the confusion.

But seriously, resplicing is a common tactic to avoid copyright detection. The most popular YouTube video for the captain America civil war battle is recut and out of sequence. Imagine a fan theory "ant-man only enters the fight after..." based on this video.

Oh I see what you mean now. I guess I’m in the old-school scene release download it yourself pirate mindset, preserving the best possible original release of the work in the best format available. But I forgot all about those reuploads to video hosting sites and even YouTube which kind of makes sense now.
