Who says what it should or shouldn't have hit, aside from the people actually doing the grading? Low brightness HDR doesn't equal "fake HDR", it's an aesthetic choice that's been made and if the folks crying foul just said "I don't like dim HDR, I want everything to pop" then I'd have a lot more respect for them than when they try to justify their
personal preferences behind a bunch of technobollocks and gatekeeping bullshit like how it looks worse on supermarket special HDR TVs, like they're the 'true voice' of HDR or something.
I literally laughed out loud when Vincent said of The Mandalorian that doing "proper" i.e. eyebrow-roastingly bright HDR is reliant on how much money is being spent on it, him being utterly oblivious that The Mandalorian is one of THE most expensive TV shows ever made, reportedly costing $15 million per episode (!) and that it's graded by one of the premier post houses in the business (CO3).
One of their finishing artists literally said that Mando wasn't graded to be ultra bright but apparently that's not enough evidence for some, them coming up with conspiracy theories that these guys would lose their jobs if they didn't stick to the Disnee PR line, like they're spotty goobers working for peanuts out of a sweatshop in Van Nuys. Just.....no.
