I believe he dislikes them as well. But I just don't understand why. These were his babies. It would be like my parents saying they hate me because I was their firstborn and only got it right with my kid brother. I know that's a stretch, but film can definitely be very personal and you can act like an overprotective parent at times when dealing with it and protecting it from the critics, etc. I would think he would treat each version of these films as a different child. Each one has it's differences and points of uniqueness and each definitely has a right to live. No need to euthanize one to make room for another.
Did I just go off the deep end on that one?
