What are some movies where the director's cut is actually WORSE than the theatrical cut? (piefed.social)

I also prefer the theatrical cut of Aliens. The relationship between Ripley and Newt is just enough. The director's cut mashes the maternal relationship button too hard. Seeing a little bit more with the colonists is nice, but doesn't make up for the other imbalances.
