Do they not rerun this one anymore?

They famously took it off the air years ago because of the Michael Jackson stuff, but I don't know if that has changed.

It has not on the high seas. Also Disney shows the old 4:3 episodes in 16:9, cropping away like 30% of the image. I hate the way corpos rape art and culture.

literally Disney's primary business model for the last century

You can get it to display them in 4:3, if you go to details (alongside the episodes and suggested tabs) and uncheck "Remastered aspect ratio"

It’s literally one of the best episodes of that season (although many of s3 were great!). I get why but wtf. Glad I have a copy 🏴‍☠️

Leon's even got his own questline in Tapped Out. Weird the episode's banned, but he's still A OK in alt media.

A shame, that episode was one of the better ones. What next, Sonic 3 being unavailable because MJ supposedly helped with the music?

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, they just wrote new tracks for the most recent re-release, Sonic Origins. Not because Jackson is controversial or anything, but because there was some kind of copyright issue.

Personally I never liked Carnival Night Zone, but the rest of the tracks were a downgrade.

I bet it’s probably more the race bits in the episode than MJ himself.

“the big white guy who thinks he’s the little black guy who thinks he’s the white guy” line

One of the most well-known episodes. Who is saying this didn't happen?

Nobody is actually claiming it doesn't exist. It just isn't available for streaming because everyone involved doesn't want to stream it.
