    Definitely a controversial take. Streaming didn’t destroy the cinema for no reason, though.

    As for physical media, I think the industry has realized that they’re not winning back the average consumer and have started catering to the nerds, with most presses (in my exposure) including more than just the base movie that you can find on streaming: higher bitrate, extra content/audio tracks to encourage rewatching, and nice packaging are all things that physical producers have done to compete with the convenience and cost advantage of streaming. In my mind, the appeal of the two are so different anymore that I rarely compare the experience of one being better than the other.
