I give zero shits if this breaks some kind of rule or whatever: This is why media archival is important. I'd say get it physical, but that gives these fucks money half the time. Pirate that shit and make sure it's the original stuff. Historical revisionism is one of the worst things out there, and should be condemned in all measures.
It’s why I got 2 6 foot tall bookcases full of movies & shows, just for this reason. I even saw the other day Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker altered the Joker’s death scene and removed the gun 🤦♂️
I've got a bunch of my faves on DVD, with a few terabytes of films on hard-drive. The only reason I "have" Netflix and others is because I don't pay for it, the rest of my family shares the account and I can see shit if I absolutely must away from home, and most times I don't even do that, because I can do literally anything else.
But yeah, preserve originals, because this shit is only going to get more and more common.
Same with me for the Nextflix part, tried to get my family to cancel Netflix after the Cuties fiasco, but that turned into a no go.
Just one point I forgot from earlier, I even got a VCR for original versions of the Star Wars movies.
