Is there a benefit to actually watching these versions at all today though?
They’re really the best version of the OT that we have.
Not really if you’re a member of this site.
They’re the best commercially-released versions of the OT. And I am a member of this site. Since 2006.
I said above that DarkJedi’s versions were one of the most watchable versions, IMO.
Well, that’s clearly a different thing. Mocata surely refers to the point that there would be no reason at all to watch the GOUT as “we” already have SW in 4K and many other HD options. So if you are already posting on this forum where you can get access on these goodies I’m not sure why there would be any reason to watch the GOUT anymore. Except to know the right magenta hues on your monitors.
