Millions of people watch Netflix. Being on Netflix is not some sort of demotion...
Army of the Dead is a movie. Also The Fountainhead. If that ever actually gets made. And now Justice League.
I was responding to the statement that his "re-emerging to work in cinema" was "unlikely". He's working in cinema. Being on Netflix doesn't make it not a movie.
Sure it matters, he inherited Snyder's legacy with B vs S which would bring down any movie Snyder was involved with. If WB had done what you wanted the entire movie would have been scrapped. They had to fix the movie because Snyder didn't leave them a completed movie before he had to leave. They panicked because Snyder's vision hurt the DCEU, they don't owe him everything he serves at their pleasure. He's not George Lucas, he's not even Chris Nolan. They were in a bad place since Snyder had to leave due to his daughter dying, he was in no shape to direct after that on top of the reception of his other films. Snyder staying on was not only be and for his mental state it would compromise his directing.
If you really want to get into this semantic argument again I’m sure someone is willing, but I’m not the guy.
He’s making movies. Where they get released doesn’t change that he is, in fact, professionally making movies. So the statement that his showing up to make movies again being “unlikely” was completely incorrect. That was all I was saying.
I don’t know why anyone questioned my comment. He is making movies. Think of him or his output what you will, doesn’t change that he is currently making two movies.
He’s literally working on two movies right now.
Again, semantic argument. If we're going there, I'd argue that basically nothing Snyder has made should be considered "Cinema" no matter where it was released. But I'm not making that argument.
He makes movies. He's still making movies. Shrug.

I'm going to have to disagree with you.
They took a chance that they could change it and make it better. Honestly I think it did make it better, but even the chance of it being good is better than the certainty of it being bad.
Give Bruce Wayne's 1% speech in BvS, I'm sure Snyder would agree.
