If anyone is going to be happy with a Wolverine scan it's probably because they don't realize how good it *could* look. Just to give you an idea how awful Wolverines and the likes are:
I mean, I'm not saying that it has to be an absolutely perfect 4K scan, but to not have clipping and crushed shadows all over the place, a hot spot, absolutely awful colors and not even a steady image (something any basic projector can do!) could imo only be satisfying to someone who grew up with VHS quality and thinks that's as good as it will ever get in digital.
That image on the right side is a more expensive Reflecta model. Imo it's still not good at all, but with that one at least I can see how someone could say "yeah that's good enough for me". With the cheap units on the left side, I can't.
