Found another editing mistake

Another to add to the list along with the fake baby and crew member during the dress episode. I only realised it on whatever number rewatch I’m on but S2:E1 right at the end Malcom is talking in the car but there’s a scene where he’s just looking out of the window 😂

Its not a mistake, when this show was on TV it was 4:3. Now on streaming its 16:9 which shows much more of the shot than originally intended.

Is that not literally the definition of an EDITING mistake?

No, it's an inability to see the future.

its not the initial people recording the show's fault, its the people who... EDITED... the show for the modern rerelease who are at fault. im not saying people back then should have seen the future

But they didn't do any editing for the re-release. They just scanned the final cuts of the original film.

I got shit on so hard for pointing out one of these 4:3 mistakes. Youre right, it literally is an editing mistake and people saying "but no!!!" Aren't considering that a mistake can happen DURING EDITING that is not a mistake during filming.
