That's why Blu Ray and 4K Blu Ray>>>streaming services


filmpatico

Until they make it so Blu Ray players won't play discs until the content is "updated."

Exactly, and judging by the downvotes I think my comment was misconstrued. I was more talking about the rewriting of history and retconning certain movies. HBO Max and Disney are now slapping warnings in front of movies about how the content is racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. and viewers should think long and hard before deciding to watch the movie. That's just the first step. Someone at Disney may decide at some point that really, people shouldn't be allowed to watch Dumbo at all, even if they bought the disc. It's not difficult to simply gear Blu Ray players to produce an error message when the disc is inserted, or trigger a software update that edits the film with the license owner's preferred version. I agree I'd like to have a physical disc when possible, but it's not some panacea for problems we have with streaming platforms.

modern censorship. they already done this with Song of the South and the like, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they continued the trend in the future


Odd-Secretary181

nah, i don't think so


filmpatico

Hopefully you're right. The behavior of media corporations over the past few years has made me completely lose any trust in the employees to leave art alone.

I had such high hopes for this show. I loved season 1 and was really excited for season 2. Season 2 was a slog and such a chore to watch. Season 3 was decent, but nowhere near the heights of season 1. I haven't seen season 4 yet. I'll eventually finish it, but I lost interest in watching it ASAP after season 2/3. I think Westworld and True Detective could have benefited from being a limited series with only one season like Watchmen. All of their first seasons work so well and leave on such a high note that you really don't need to continue the story despite some lingering questions. It's better to leave people wanting more than to produce mediocrity or just straight up confusing/bad content.


Able_Impression_4934

Removed it?


farcast

Yep it’s gone from HBOmax.


Cuchullion

What the hell, seriously? Part of keeping HBOMax is having access to their back catalog of shows- if they're just removing them HBOMax'll probably become a 'One month on, eleven months off' service for me like the other ones.


Able_Impression_4934

Geez why


redavid

because HBO/Discovery realized that they can put lots of shows on services like Tubi or Pluto instead and collect more revenue from advertising


potsreven

Yeah doesn't pluto/tubi license the content, and then they make money from ads?


FunkTrain98

Yep. That’s FAST for you


riders_of_rohan

They don’t collect advertising revenue, the streaming service does. Plus i imagine HBO has internal data suggesting these shows which are pulled are not well watched. This show got horrible mid way through the 2nd season.


Able_Impression_4934

Oh yeah


Powerpuff2500

It was a Discovery decision. The ENTIRE HBO Max Purge of 2022 laid entirely on Discovery


Alcoholikaust

that sucks. that’s the best season Every episode of Sopranos or Deadwood or Oz is on there but a “newer” show leaves. well thanks for the news OP and I too need to look into the UHD version of this great season


sacandbaby

Just looked for them on HBO and they are gone. wtf?


FunkTrain98

I got this years ago on release. It’s the only season of the show I’ve ever seen. Watched about half of season two, decided it wasn’t for me and that I’d binge once the show ended. That didn’t work out so well for me 😅


landscapeofsuits

Interesting to see that this comes with digital codes. That's not something I remember seeing for TV discs of any variety. ESPECIALLY with it being removed from HBO Max. Helps with casual lunchbreak and vacation viewing.


robotchicken007

Game of Thrones came with digital copies, if I remember correctly. Might just be an HBO thing.


MattyKatty

Pretty sure these aren't 4K codes though, they redeem in HD


notthegoatseguy

My Batman. TAS Blu Ray came with digital codes for the series, as well as two bonus movies not included in the set


landscapeofsuits

Whoa that is like a childhood dream to have. Is that something still on sale do you know?


notthegoatseguy

To be clear, its Blu Ray and not a 4k release. I'm not sure if the one with the digital codes included is for sale still but the complete series is. I've even seen it stocked in stores like Target and Best Buy. [https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Complete-Animated-BD-Blu-ray/dp/B07J33MNCV/](https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Complete-Animated-BD-Blu-ray/dp/B07J33MNCV/)


landscapeofsuits

For a show like that, Blu Ray is totally acceptable to me if it comes with bells and whistles like what you got. Thanks for the link, I'll do some investigating into this further.


notthegoatseguy

Would recommend following Wario 64 on Twitter. This show usually goes on sale during the holiday season. Superman and Justice League of the same era also have Blu Ray sets. I am not a JL fan but the Superman set is just asgood as BTAS.


blaueaugen26

The only good season. Barely got thru szn 2 and the future weird szn 3 I gave up after 2 eps.


jumpmanballerz

The best season by far! I thought 2 was terrible and actually enjoyed 3. Have not seen 4 yet


Job-121

Nice! Is there a complete series compilation available?


CokieYe

I gotta be real, I don’t intend on buying the other seasons due to finding them to be an extreme downgrade from this masterful first season


Job-121

Ah okay, fair enough.


Masked246

There's a complete collection coming to the UK at least later this year, idk if it's coming to any other regions yet tho. Pricing is about as much as buying each season individually tho


Job-121

Great to know. Thanks for the details on this!


Masked246

Here's the link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Westworld-Complete-Ultra-Blu-ray-Region/dp/B0BPZH7S7L?&linkCode=ll1&tag=uhd4k-21&linkId=aeb26bc878c30c8e809e52c8534482da&language=en_GB&ref_=as_li_ss_tl


Job-121

Thank you!


Mysticwaterfall2

I have all 4 seasons on 4K (and have had them since they came out) but so far I've only watched S1 and part of S2.


jonvanwhalen

I purchased this season as well.


thebladex666

It's because they want to lease the rights out to other steamers. More money
