There are definitely people who care about those differences. There are even a few actually changes in footage, making some 1.1

Go look at some of the sites that cover all the changes

When articles like this talk about people who are worried about preserving the original they mean original. There are a bazillion copies of the VHS version out there.

By "the original" you mean the non-special edition.

But interesting to note that the true theatrical versions were never released on VHS. By the time it was released on home video, small changes had already started to be made. Pretty common for a lot of movies.

Most of the Marvel shows that were good (not saying they all were) were only really good the first season. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage... Even Loki. Second seasons were ok-to-poor where the first seasons were all really strong.

Not sure what you're on about.

I don't think the article claims "no CGI" and certainly doesn't claim to be straight-out-of-camera with no post processing. It's about practical sets, which they do use. Not the mostly-green-screen or The Volume virtual sets that many shows use now

What is the weather like where you are? It would be brutal to have to use this on a regular basis in cold, rainy, or even very hot weather.

Even a small car would give you so much more capability and you could use it no matter the weather.

Fun toy, but doesn't seem like a car replacement
