I guess the sense of contention I’m feeling is basically that I said “I would probably buy these if it had X thing that I want and I think has a lot of value” and the direct responses TO that contain a lot of things that essentially suggest “the thing you want is basically worthless, let me count the ways.”
Like this whole scenario:
And if this set is the only way to get them, then that’s 27 really expensive coasters heading my way, 24 of which I suppose I can immediately throw away, and three of which I can handle like my existing official Blu-rays: glue them all together, put a string through the middle, and suspend them inside one of the cavities in the walls of my house, so nobody accidentally watches them or stumbles across them and thinks that I like those films enough to buy them, but good enough to fish out if someone ever questions my legitimate ownership requirement for the fan reconstruction.
I guess it’s just coming across as sort of a passive-aggressive means to minimize the possibility I might get something out of this official release, which seems like a weird response to my direct statements (and direct conversations) explaining why I want a thing, and would get said thing if it was provided. You say it isn’t an implication that I’m making some sort of mistake in finding something potentially worthwhile in this set (should it even be there), but it feels that way to me, and apologies on my part if that’s a misunderstanding, but I’m not really convinced it actually is, considering your direct response denying any implication really exists is essentially “oh, well, that’s all well and good but the thing you want is so worthless to me I wouldn’t just destroy it, I’d turn it into something so unusable I’d put it INSIDE the walls of my home so I wouldn’t have to pretend I even own it unless the Fan Edit police come and investigate me.”
It’s hard to believe there’s no implication there of subtly suggesting or demonstrating that accepting any conditions by which this set might have value is being frowned upon.
I’ll stop bringing it up. Apologies to all, again.
