"back in"?
It means it had been removed in older releases, and it has been reinstated in the 4k?

I recall reading something about how Ridley Scott wanted her to shave but she refused, so they spent hours in post removing her pubes.
So I guess we need someone to restore the "Brazilian" cut of Alien, the way it was intended.

I saw this. History I guess will repeat again. 12 years old 4K scan finished in 2K and upscaled back to 4K.
There should be rules for restoration and fines to anyone not following them. The only reason I can guess why all this happened is JC is bowing to external pressure and doesn't have time (obviously). He probably just watches some clips and says "great", knowing these releases allows him to get more budget to finish his next films.

This isn't an isolated incident, it's a pattern of behaviour. JC has been dicking with his movies on home video since laserdisc

I read that a lot on the blu forums, imho, all he was doing was trying to perfect the transfers back then.
There were many hits and a few misses, but it was all about offering people the best looking home-video version of his films. With the recent remasters, it makes no sense. On the True Lies shoot, they worked on set to manage the snow to bring the light down two stops, and then on UHD they blow it out, making all the original work on set useless. The worst is changing with AI the focus plane in most shots. Suddenly it's not film anymore, it just looks weird and makes zero sense. This plagues all the scans they released. Going back to T2 in 2017, I suspected something foul was done on the image using some Avatar rendering tech. All these new releases confirms it.

You are kidding yourself if you think JC isn't 100% behind this.
FWIW here's an interview with JC's DI colorist, who worked on Avatar 2, the HFR rerelease of Avatar and the upcoming Terminator 'remaster': https://mixinglight.com/color-grading-tu...eu-part-1/ Thanks given by: PDB

This is already ready and completely with me, the author of the hybrid random0
The basis is a video remaster with automatic combination of multiple sources to obtain the maximum content of the frame, places without corners without information are filled with an intuitive neural network that tries to restore gaps, the final result is processed with grain and average color. This has noticeable flaws in the lower corners, but the performance of the neural network is in any case better than simple blurriness. https://disk.yandex.ru/i/M7ycDSxfYoFsHw https://imgur.com/1N44LHd |
