@pmarin@Salanth The test audiences for the original Star Wars didn’t like it much, so what was released wasn’t the Director’s Cut, it was the Director:s Wife’s Cut. The rest is history.
I liked seeing the cubicle on the guy who animated Thor’s cape. Because I was sitting right next to them complaining about the coloring or whatever.
But yeah, I also liked the added “podcast” interviews with the directors or producers than the actors because I do want to see the mistakes and the happenstance that gave the writers a eureka moment to make the feature to go in the direction it did … Or how different the original direction would have gone. Or one timeline without executive meddling and commercial product placement.
Personally all this B footage is “free”. If you want just the film alone, feel free to stream it for $1 (or $5 or whatever the inflation adjusted price is) while I await the physical medium where they bury this exclusive content in some price-gouged metal folio for $40 (seriously, why not have these embedded in the director’s Twitter page or something? Or a paywall’d YouTube channel if the studio wants to squeeze some extra bucks out of a particularly chatty creative.)
Sometimes test audiences suck and the alternate ending would’ve been better.
@Salanth and Han Solo shot first!
