Pretty much. Whatever they hated about what Snyder was doing on JL, at least let the guy finish his work. If it still bombed, then it bombed. Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last. Pick yourself up and move on. It's mind-boggling how a studio that's been around since the movie industry exists can make such embarrassing decisions.
The problem was that Snyder wasn’t listening when they told him to make it lighter and make it self-contained. He was still shooting stuff like he wanted. That’s why there’s enough footage for 4 hours. He’s also throwing in his hook for a sequel, so this Cut isn’t going to quiet people down.
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
Just a few more weeks to put up with this

And with Coates being hired for Superman-the Snyder fans are not going to cool off.
Once again this falls at the WB's feet for not moving on.
They probably did. However some of this stuff has to be bought up by SOMEONE-mainly someone at the company.Then they should've complained about it when the character was introduced in the 80s.
Example-Eric McCommick had to get on his writing staff on TNT's Perception about the lack of stuff Arjay Smith was doing on the show. They had this black guy playing a Jewish black kid who was the one person who put McCommick's character in his place. Arjay's character got fleshed out even more the next 2 seasons.
Metamorpho had a wife and CHILD. The Thing had at least 2 lovers and married one. Swamp Thing had a love interest and child. Toxic Avenger had a love interest. Beast had a few as did Nightcrawler. Mettle from Avengers Academy had a love interest who was radioactive.DC has Metamorpho and Marvel has the Thing who are in the same position as Victor.
Excluding Mettle who was a POC-the rest of those freaks were white guys.
Yet it's not an issue with Doom Patrol Cyborg. Or Marvel's Mettle-who is just that metal but still found a way to sleep with Hazmat.There was no indication who was making a big deal about Cyborg's penis, but as we did know that Cyborg's emasculation was a preexisting issue with the character it was generally assumed that Ray was the one with the issue.
Well when does Vic become Cyborg? Did all that happen in Justice League or was he already Cyborg?
If the majority of the scenes you cut have POC in them-isn't that an issue with the script, casting and director?
When did the studio mandate 2 hours?? That should have been discussed before ANY filming started. That script should have been toned down.
You should not let someone film 4-5 hours worth of footage. Some of that should have been cut before filming.
Or you should have been doing what Marvel was doing filming 2 movies at once.
Film your Cyborg movie and JL movie. If most of his footage is getting cut-get a script writer to fill in the holes and have a Cyborg film ready. Or have enough together for a Snyder Cut Cyborg film.
While this is obviously a bit too melodramatic... what exactly is wrong with that take? Cyborg struggling with his humanity and will to live to me sounds like an obvious plot points to explore. Yes, it is overdone in comics, but this would be rather unique take for comics book movie adaptations.
