My understanding was that the WB panicked when they saw early reactions from test audiences. I also think JL is the most watchable of the three. That's really not a comment about its quality, just a fact.
I don't believe the whole "Only Superman can beat this guy because he's 99% of the Justice League's power" will be gone in the new cut. That's the whole motive for bringing him back. Which is ironic when people say Snyder hates Superman.
When and if I see the movie, I think the test will come for me early on with the scene involving Wonder Woman and the terrorists. Had she failed to save those people, I think I would have felt the temptation to get up and walk out. Just one thing too many after the previous movies. If that, at least, stays the same with WW saving them, then at least there's hope for the rest of the movie.
But, again, Snyder or Whedon, dark or brighter, I think the biggest flaw that is probably inherent to the premise is that the Justice League is nothing without Superman. Everyone but one character is irrelevant simply is not a good basis for a team movie and the old "Superman can't be everywhere" excuse just doesn't cut it.
Power with Girl is better.
Wait I was going to check this out, out of curiosity but dear god please tell me the Snyder Cut isn't 4 hours long?
Which would have been fine if the movie had set them up as that big of a threat.I don't believe the whole "Only Superman can beat this guy because he's 99% of the Justice League's power" will be gone in the new cut. That's the whole motive for bringing him back. Which is ironic when people say Snyder hates Superman.
Well what would be weird is if the "failing to save those people" is back in, but along with "being the one member to decapitate Steppenwolf". If he's putting back in the stuff that was cut, apparently that was in there too. Plus the twitter pic of WW where he said something like "I don't know about you but you use gods to kill gods".
I *think* the idea is that the league is nothing without each other. Whether that will be conveyed well or not is another thing altogether.But, again, Snyder or Whedon, dark or brighter, I think the biggest flaw that is probably inherent to the premise is that the Justice League is nothing without Superman. Everyone but one character is irrelevant simply is not a good basis for a team movie and the old "Superman can't be everywhere" excuse just doesn't cut it.
Well, yes, it will be at least 4 hours long, I figured that's one of the reasons they're breaking it up into, what, 35-40 minute segments to air on HBOMax weekly.
In theory, since they're breaking it up anyway, Snyder can make it as long as he wants with all of the footage he didn't/couldn't use, but I doubt it will be less than 4 hours total.

turn it into a six episode mini series. might as well, especially if this is the last JLA movie for many years.
I think I might be missing something here, exactly why does everyone want to see the Snyder cut so badly. I've read all the deleted scenes and what not but it still sounds like a jumbled mess, which is what the final theatrical cut of the film was too. So I mean instead of seeing a Whedon/Snyder jumbled mess, we'll just see the full Snyder mess.
WB is throwing so much money into this it's a shame. I wish they'd put that 20-30mil somewhere else, like Shazam! 2 or Titans season 3 (It's a good show just needs a bigger budget) or even Better yet Doom Patrol.
Why did WB do a 180 here?
They fired Snyder for Man of Steel and Batman v Superman having bad receptions. Why are they now releasing the next Snyder film?
It's a quick and dirty way to make some money off a film when they can't make or release other ones right now. Having some interest in this retread is better than no interest, and they have little to lose. It's a way to make some money out of a project that seemed inconceivable a few months ago
