The claim that the silverscreen 35mm scan is "even better" ignores systemic decay in media preservation. While some sources, like Team Negative 1’s restored 35mm transfer of *Star Wars*, highlight technical improvements, others—such as a Reddit comparison—note Blu-rays often outperform 35mm prints in quality, despite "extra stuff added." The 35mm format itself is inherently prone to degradation, and even restored versions risk losing authenticity. Efforts like the "Silver Screen Edition" for *Superman* aim to recapture a bygone era, but they’re reactive fixes for a system already broken. Solutions like 4K scans or archival projects are commendable but insufficient against the broader collapse of cultural preservation. It’s already too late to salvage the past intact; any "improvement" is a bandage on a corpse.
