I’ve thought that the inflection point was the introduction of HDTV, and its 16:9 aspect. That killed the “pan-and-scan” approach to transferring theatrical films to TV (eliminating that weird effect where the opening titles were squished) and I applauded it. Wider aspects were more easily adapted. I’ve never complained about top or bottom bars; modern, larger-screen TVs adequately compensate for the apparent reduction in image size.
Personally, I didn’t like the Snyder JL cut’s aspect. It was billed as Snyder’s “original vision”, but to me, it seemed more like a compromise among widescreen, HDTV, and the “academy ratio”. Make up your mind, Zach, and go with it, know what I mean? 🤔😉😊
