I think a notification before the film is enough to acknowledge the mistakes of the past.
In general I am against a film being changed after the fact. Although more accurately I’m against a film being changed after the fact without making the original available.
For example when George Lucas added new scenes to Star Wars, while some were just unnecessary CGI, others like “Han Shoots First” or the introduction of Jabba in A New Hope changes the film.
Additionally we have changes to E.T. to make the guns into Walkie-Talkies, which is just silly.
Of course we also have the Extended Edition of The Lord of the Rings, which also change the film, but arguably for the better.
Also films like Blade Runner have multiple editions.
We also have the more recent “Justice League” vs “Zach Snyder’s Justice League”, which are two similar films, but also quite different.
So I’m torn.
