Also the whole Star Wars Special Edition debacle (which has never been resolved) has everyone really nervous about these kinds of things.
I dunno. I haven’t seen the 4k Alien yet but the grainy film I think deff added to the overall feel to it. It made it feel dirtier and more lived in. But I’ll watch the 4k version. As far as people getting upset, I think it’s a mix of “how dare you change the thing I like” and “leave well enough alone, just give us more new content”.

It’s stupid though, they haven’t changed the thing people like, it’s still there…

Yeah, but you’ve met people though, right?

The problem is that physical media is taking a back seat to streaming, and companies like Disney may only offer the newer version.
So the thing you like may be replaced with something you don’t like the look of, and if you hadn’t procured a copy before, tough shit.
That’s really more of an admonition of streaming than AI upscaling, though

I hope physical media becomes popular again as people realize they don’t want to be fed what they want…
