English is not my first language, so I might've missed where EK said in plain English which existing film is Kodacolor 100 and which is Kodacolor 200... Can you tell us so we and the YT folks can stop guessing?
We all know Kodocolor 100/200 are not new films. It would be beyond crazy for EK to come up with new films as shitty as that.
The greater point, perhaps, is that ALL products wherever made have been in a "race to the bottom" for decades. Cost control and maintaining market shre has been a major problem for a long time. Kodacolor 100 and 200 quality hasn't changed... they are what the are: an existing product that is at whatever level they always were at. If anything, the quality associated with the name "Kodacolor" may be different now than it was in the olden days but comparing then to now could be a fool's errand.
My new GE Profile washer does not work as well as their last one, especially in the spin cycle. You have to keep readjusting the balance. Made in China? Wherever it's not as good.
The Lucky (appropriate name) color negative film is coming probably be cheap cheap
GE doesn't make appliances. GE is a brand of Haier, a Chinese company
That’s fine. You’re entitled to an opinion. But what does that have to do with Kodacolor 100 and 200? That’s the topic most of us are discussing.

No wonder!
But they do still appear to have manufacturing in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, and Connecticut.
Where are the parts made?

Someone brought up washers and dryers, and I took the bait.But there is a relationship between these products. In order to reduce costs, quality almost always goes down. So $9 Kodalcolor 100 and 200 are not as good as Portra or Ektar, which are much more expensive.
I think the quality has gone down much more once domestic producers started to send manufacturing offshore to reduce prices.
Lucky have made it clear that the level of investment they've made into bringing colour film back into production means it will not be "cheap cheap". Though it may just undercut Kodacolor. Since it's not on the market yet, it's difficult to know but $8-9 a roll has been mentioned.
Maybe they didn't know what Kodak said about these products.

… unless the rebranding is to simply make the old branding obsolete. Specifically, replacement for improved marketing versus an additional product SKU. That wouldn’t surprise me at all.
They make it clear that the exciting part of the announcement isn't supposed to be the branding. What we are meant to be excited about is that they are now selling directly to distributors, and that they've invested in manufacturing and have increased production. I think it's perfectly reasonable to be happy about those things.

That's rude. I think the photos look nice. I'm gonna buy them.
