What? It’s the 50th anniversary present of a cult classic. What in the world does that have to do with Minecraft?

To me, it suffered the same issue that all reboots have (Jurassic World, Rise of Skywalkwer, etc.). They don’t attempt a new plot and instead try to rehash the original plot but “bigger”, this makes it boring really quick as you know what’s going on, so instead they rely on nostalgia bait or jump tactics to try to keep you engaged.

This explains it well. Think of it as the “Rogue One” treatment. You know it’s the originals, contains the original story, just looks amazingly crisp and modern. And he did an amazing job with the color correction.

I honestly prefer the Despecialized Editions. Though I’m glad both exist as a way to try to restore our past.
