OK, I'll make my point clear here. You want an argument, you got one. But only this once, because quite frankly, I prefer not making myself unhappy by finding things to ***** about. I'm only doing this to make it VERY clear where I fall on the "fans vs. creator" line not just for you, but anyone else.
Creators don't owe their fans anything other than the product. THAT'S IT. I'm not thrilled with restorations that screw up when upscaling to HD. You know what I do about it? Stick to the originals. If a director makes a film that doesn't appeal to me, I don't watch it. I don't say the director is a clown and demand that they make the film I want them to make. That doesn't make me a fan. That makes me a fucking egotistical snob who thinks I know more about how to make a movie than the people who actually make the movie. The very fact that you think studios have a better track record for maintaining quality than the actual people making the movie just shows that you either don't realize how much you don't know, or are actively trying to be a contrarian because you feel like agreeing with anything close to the majority makes you smarter, without realizing that if most people are saying something...it's much more likely that they are onto something than that you are the smartest person in existence and everyone else is just a moron.
Now, the Star Wars example you cited? I'll give that to you, because when George Lucas made those changes, he actually did take away access to the originals. That is the only time where I will say creators go too far with "fixing" their vision. Unless the original is literally made unavailable, though, there are two options to handle changes I don't like to future editions, or remakes I don't care for. I can ***** about it online for literally months at a time, finding everything I can to agree with me and spending far more capital on it than anyone who is actually enjoying the thing I don't like or just ignoring it because a thing existing isn't actually an insult to my existence...or I can just be one of those people who says "not for me", or checks it out, finds it lacking, writes a review that may be quite snarky, and then moves on to find something to actually enjoy. I choose that route, because I like actually enjoying stuff. You seem to get more pleasure out of hating something and telling people they are wrong for liking it. To me, that doesn't make you a fan of anything, it makes you a bully demanding everyone cater to you and your likes and dislikes. Despite that, I do genuinely hope you find something you enjoy as much as you find things you hate.
