    Adult superhero movies is a phrase commonly used with many comic films though not the MCU movies.

    Can I also remind you DC already has an animated TV line that appeals mostly to adults? the recent ongoing Harley Quinn series?

    I don't agree with this. I think anyone who saw and loved the feel good fantasy of Reeves would be more accepting of Man of Steel because of age and time. It was all about story evolution. I only wished Man of Steel had come out in 2008 or 2009 not in 2013.

    Superman Returns was a good bridge between Superman 2 and Man of Steel. The superficial complaints of man of steel would have been less if some people for once had stopped using Avengers 2012 as a ''good example'' for a Superman movie to follow.

    Christopher Nolan even said in interviews that Man of Steel was not trying to be Avengers, shame some did not listen.

    Maybe it should have. It might be getting sequels.

    It got one sort of sequel with B vs S, which killed his movie franchise dead.

    One thing I’m super curious about in Snyder’s version is how Superman is revived. I wonder how different it is from the theatrical cut in the Zack’s cut.

    What in the WORLD is going on regarding Ray Fisher (Cyborg) and his rather dramatic tweet earlier today:

    "Forefully" retract is very strong, it seems. I get wanting to support Zach Snyder and his original cut and vision for the Cyborg character, but Fisher's statement is pretty provocative.

    He must had a very difficult time working with Whedon on the Justice League reshoots. I can understand him feeling a bit angry since his story was greatly altered or truncated when Whedon took over the directing duties but tweeting something like this is pretty petty on his part even if it comes from an understandable place of frustration over his disagreements with him.
    Snyder, unsurprisingly, liked the very same post on his Vero account.

    I'm guessing that they thought Whedon was going to "finish" the movie, but the studio had much different ideas...(i.e. they wanted someone to come in and chop it up and reshoot it)

    I have to say, it's pretty amusing that I see people arguing over Man of Steel, because it reflects my thoughts on this cut.

    Generally, I'm pretty skeptical about a re-cut being a massive improvement, and it's because of Man of Steel and BvS. Those were Snyder's movies too, and they were so heavily flawed that I don't have much hope for this. I'll still watch it, and maybe it'll prove me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath...

    With the reaction to B vs S not sure I blame them, Snyder was not longer seen as a safe bet and Avengers changed everything about superhero team movies. But the anger being thrown at Whedon from the cast and Snyder, is it that he finished a film they didn't like (which was unavoidable - no director was going to save that movie) or that Snyder himself didn't finish it himself? I can understand the former, but the latter, Snyder was in no shape to do that movie after his daughter died. No director would be under those circumstances.

    He should take his tiny little axe and go grind it somewhere else.

    I wonder when the Kallout Kids are going to finally find the perfect human being they've been looking for.

    Funny how now that Snyder's online whining has paid off and he's been allowed back the movie he chose to leave that the guy who was hired to replace him is being thrown under the bus.

    I wish I were a movie star and my problems were that I didn't get enough screen time (but ended up playing a part in True Detective successfully) or was treated badly by director. I'm sure sleeping on a pillow of cash every night helps, Ray & Gal
