I watched 3 hours of moon landing footage as a kid and again last night, and flat earth videos fell apart for me in the first 10 minutes

Last night I sat down and watched the raw Apollo 11 footage on YouTube, all 3 hours of it, then I pulled up a flat earth breakdown video that was supposed to prove it was fake. Here is what killed me. The flat earth guy kept pausing on the same 4 seconds of grainy tape and saying look at the shadow, that is impossible. But when I watched the full clip he cut from, the shadow made total sense once you see the flag pole and the lander leg in frame. He cropped out the lander leg. Every single time. I counted 9 cuts across 25 minutes where the thing that made his point work was hidden just outside the frame. The other big tell was the audio. He played the crew talking over each other as proof they were confused, but it was just normal chatter with a 1.2 second delay from the ground, which is exactly what you would expect from the distance. I am not saying I trust everything, but cropping the same object out of 9 shots is not a debate, it is editing. Has anyone else gone back to the original full clips and caught stuff like this, or am I just noticing it now?
