    I think that on rare occasions, something can be refined a bit, and the result is genuinely an improvement.

    Off the top of my head, V for Vendetta the movie is better than the graphic novel. Aliens Director’s cut adds to the atmosphere. Some sympathetic remixes of dance tunes are harder bangers.

      Completely agree that refinement can improve a thing - but to me those are still usually better as secondary experiences after trying the original. Interesting variations, having first experienced it as the creator intended.

      Although I would exclude the director’s cut of Aliens, because probably should have been the original, but wasn’t released that way. That’s that’s my preferred version of the film too because it’s how Cameron wanted it, rather than, the studio.

      And I’m not fanatical about it, or anything. It’s just a personal rule of thumb :-)

      So, I would always go with subs over dubs, at least on first viewing.
