I wanna say he was referring to the 2006 DVDs which used the Laserdisc transfers for their source but you never know with this man. It’s sad yet unsurprising that he uses everyone’s disappointment of the actual TRANSFERS as justification that the original versions of the movies were in fact inferior/incomplete films.

If those LD masters had been upgraded to 16:9 with a bit of upscaling I guarantee 60%-70% of the complaints people had with those DVDs wouldn’t have happened. Sure the 1993 masters weren’t perfect. Coloring was off at times, some poor DNR applied but with some minor enhancements and upgrading to modern video proportions they could’ve been acceptable in 2006.

It’s just sad that he’s so convinced the SE’s were better because people were upset with those 2006 DVDs (again I’m assuming that’s what he meant) when it was the transfers people were upset with not the films! He clearly feels “if they aren’t happy with those versions in a older outdated video master that isn’t even upscaled for modern viewing than it’s clear the films were bad”. (Sighs)
