This comparison is what's tech illiterate. VGA's replacements allowed higher resolution and frequency, smaller connecters, etc.
Meanwhile going from 3.5mm audio jack to bluetooth audio resulted in higher costs, lower battery life, and heavily compromised audio quality.

The morphing of J Jonah Jameson into a Spider-Man obsessed Alex Jones in most non-comics media is honestly the least interesting thing that could happen to him, compared to the idea of a tough but ultimately decent newsman who is ideologically opposed to vigilantism.
Perfect time to remind everyone that J. Jonah Jameson has consistently been shown to be a staunch supporter of mutant rights and that he's refused to print any material that could support racism against mutants. So if he believed Spidey was one, he'd probably back down.

I don't see how any adult passionate about film can seriously watch the older Godzilla movies and not be blown away by the production craft. Eiji Tsubaraya was a master of his craft and almost everyone who followed in his footsteps became one of the best to ever do it.
I want cinephiles to look at me dead in the eye and say Tokusatsu effects are "cheap" and "worse" after seeing the Godzilla vs. Biollante behind-the-scenes footage.

Bluetooth is wonderful! I'm glad it's an option. But the elimination of the industry standard 3.5mm jack from phones made them less functional, less universal, and lower quality. Apple literally did it to sell more airpods and every other trend chasing phone maker followed suit.

By the way, if you aren't a content creator with PR access, it's hard to describe how badly stolen codes hurt you. When game codes get claimed but you don't produce coverage, that can get you blacklisted quickly.
