No interest in seeing this at all but I guess WB gets to rope back in all the snyder cult and secure more subs to HBO Max
Hopefully the toxic culture around DC movies can finally be put to bed now that they got what they wanted

It’s great that this cut will be released but one can’t ignore the bad apples that made up quite a bit of the movement. I’m happy for Snyder’s vision to be realized but frankly the road to getting there was rather bumpy.

I never understood this line of reasoning from people.
How can you claim the majority of fans who wanted this released are malcontents? A director people like made a film that was never released. Now it’s getting released. Who cares if it’s bad? That was never the point of this at all. The movie could be complete garbage, this is about a filmmaker getting his film released. If you don’t support it then you should probably stay out of the appreciation thread .
Top arguments from naysayers:
“The cut doesn’t exist” it does, it always has, in several forms, just mostly unedited and without VFX.
“What if it’s terrible, then it was all for nothing” I can only assume people who think this way do not sympathize with creators who aren’t able to release something they’ve created. Whether it’s bad or good was literally never a factor of this movement.
“Snyder fans are toxic and harass people” I’m a Snyder fan and I’ve never done that. I know plenty of other Snyder fans who aren’t like that. I’ve seen some MCU fans act toxic and harass people. So, there really is no argument there. There are toxic sides of every fanbase and nobody likes them. If you think WB was giving in to harassment, you weren’t paying attention, and you let the trolls make you think they represented the movement.
“People are just going to keep begging for more” and why shouldn’t they? Is it so hard to accept that Snyder has a fanbase? How does it affect you in the slightest? Is the idea of people wanting more DC stuff from Snyder really all that menacing? Fans should be fans of whoever they want and support them however they want. And we’ve already established that every fanbase has toxic elements, so for you as an individual, why the heck does it matter?
Put aside the fact that most have accepted Snyder being away from DC films for years and completely don’t care if he comes back or not. If they do, it’s because they support him, not because they want to see Flash punch Darkseid or something. The Snyder Cut is a special movement because it is specifically about fans supporting a director’s work and nothing else.
So again I ask - why is this such a bother. You aren’t going to be forced to watch it.
I think people are confusing the two Snyder Cut threads. This is the one for people who are interested in seeing it. If you aren't, that’s perfectly understandable and you can complain about it all you want in the other thread. This thread was specifically created to avoid rehashing the same complaints about Snyder and the more toxic elements of fandom. Besides, there are douchebags in every fandom. Liking or not liking Zack Snyder's superhero films has no bearing on whether someone is a decent person.
As to the topic at hand, I am curious how much Snyder will actually be able to do here. There are clearly big chunks he wasn't able to film, like the J'Onn J'Onzz and Green Lantern Corps scenes. That would require a lot of SFX. I can't imagine that WB has given him that big a budget for this. Will he have enough money to do all the stuff he wants. However, Snyder seems to inspire some fierce loyalty from his cast and crew. They might go above and beyond for him, irregardless of what financial compensation there is.
Excited to see what Snyder does. Also, the fandom has done has awesome stuff (campaigning and donating for charity etc). Sure, there are bad apples..but those don't represent an entire movement, and like Bored mentioned..there are bad apples in every fandom. It's just how it is.

So what are people most excited about seeing? I'd love to make a poll if Wandering_Wand or a mod doesn't mind making the edit.
Or, people can just rank them in order of preference.
1. Superman's Arc (including the black suit, Darkseid mind control, etc.)
2. Darkseid & the New Gods
3. Cyborg's backstory
4. Greek "Old God" Mythology
5. Alternate Aquaman & Atlantis scenes
6. Martian Manhunter & other cameos
7. Other (A better Batfleck, a better looking 3rd act, Luthor, anything!)
I am biased towards Martian manhunter and superman. I know cyborg will be the heart of the league.
