Oh god. I completely forgot about that one. That intro was by far the best, but the others did a fair job of following the same motif, and could reasonably pass as following or successive season intros.
Sure. Old stock of burnable DVDs are literally a dime a dozen these days. I see whole spindles of them for sale at thrift shops for practically nothing. And each one is 4.7GB.
I can’t wait until a studio replaces an entire character with a new actor using generative AI, kind of like Lucas did with Anakin in Return of the Jedi but for an entire series. It’ll be a shitshow.
It already happens in games with voice actors. I’m fine with it when it’s done because the actor turned out to be a sexual predator or something, but a few live service games recast VAs during the recent(-ish) voice actor strikes, then went back and rerecorded every line ever said by their characters. That was pretty gross.
No, it was Mihoyo (makers of predatory gacha games like Genshin Impact and Star Rail). IIRC the replaced VAs had gone on strike in solidarity with the union, but weren’t actually members so lacked job protection.
“This show has replaced the iconic music with generic slop to save on licensing costs.”
Revisionism should be outlawed. Imagine Friends without the intro song, or the same thing for South Park or Simpsons or Seinfeld or King of the Hill.
Every time I run across a show that has this happened to it, I imagine a full on lightning bolt hitting whoever thought it was a good idea.

This is why you become a data hoarder and save all the original versions on your own local storage.
Brb, buying hdds… Qq
For long-term archival purposes, DVDs are much more affordable per GB.
Still??? Seriously?

That sort of retaliation is so, so shitty. Was it EA?

Awful.
