Which do you prefer Zack Snyder’s Justice League or Infinity War-Endgame?

[Dboi2001]

I’m not trying to have a DC vs Marcel thread but I’m curious which one you prefer and how they compare. Also I consider IW and Endgame to be one movie which is why I’m limping them together. Plus that makes Infinity Game almost 6 hours long so it is pretty comparable to the Snyder cut. I want to say I love both but I just like comparing movies

Ultimately when it comes down to it I just gotta go with Zack Snyder’s Justice League. As great as Infinity Game was, the Snyder Cut just turns everything up to 11. The thing I love the most about Snyder’s superhero movies is how godlike everyone is. The action is just amazing and unbelievable. It also has one of the greatest scenes in comic book movies. It just feels so much like a graphic novel come to life. Never would I have imagined Endgame being topped but someone Zack did it.

What do you guys think?

[ComicJunkie21]

I would say that IW is a more fair one on one comparison because ZSJL is technically the first part of a 3 part JL movie.

If I consider the culmination of films beforehand then I think IW is stronger (22 prior films vs 2). However if I let each film stand on its own then I think ZSJL is much stronger due to storyline, visuals, and structure. It really depends on what aspects a person looks at for their comparisons.

It might be unfair to compare both IW and EG to JL.

But MCU in this case. Those two films had heroes I care about, with funny and sad scenes, and based on a decade of development. Their interactions were very entertaining. Thanos was a better villain than Steppenwolf, and the fight scenes were more creative and used different kinds of powers. And they both had actual color.

I personally disagree. I think Stepphenwolf’s character was just as good but was also more intimidating. I also disagree that having more movies made infinity war better especially when half the characters weren’t that well written to begin with. Like vision and Wanda were only in what 3 or 4 mcu movies prior to infinity war?

Vision and Scarlet Witch had more humanity in IW than Superman did in BvS and JL together IMO. I agree their romance wasn't properly built up. But individually they actually showed more characterization than Superman

And Steppenwolf was rather underwhelming to me. Thanos has emotional connections to other characters and interesting powers with the Gauntlet

Well I completely disagree with that assessment. Superman had a ton of characterization over MoS and BvS. Him remembering his life on the farm was absolutely beautiful. Did Wanda or vision ever cry over someone who tried to kill them?

I agree the gauntlet was a lot cooler but I still prefer Stepphenwolf because his motives are much more clear and sympathetic

[green_garnish]

Infinity War had a villain with depth, someone whose motivations you could almost understand and agree with. Steppenwolf was just grist for heroes to beat up on. Darkseid was indistinguishable from SW in that regard.

I've tried to slog through this Snyder cut fast-forwarding helps but the question hit me last night. If you bought a physical of Wheadon League, aren't you due a partial refund? Is there some, (and I'm sure there is) cult of dorks who prefer the Wheadon cut over the Snyder film?

Using everyone favorite RT

Wonder Woman 93% 83%
Shazam 90% 82%
Harley Quinn 78% 78%

Well obviously Wonder Woman 1984 spoiled that pattern but the reality is DC movies have been well received of late. And two movies that I left off to make my point look better those two movies made 1 billion dollars each in Aquaman and Joker. There is a reason DC has no problem moving on from the Synderverse

When was RT everyone's favourites. Was this during Joker, which is likely the most acclaimed comic film for the last 5 years and to mostly many , the best DC film of the 2010s as written about with the love for the adult themes of mental illness, superb acting and great cinematography[/B]

This is the meaning of RT

When it comes to RT, I rather listen to the Film gurus experts like Martin Scorsese than any MCU or DCU fan. RT. LOL. It's just odd, we now have a movie like the Snyder Cut where comic films has shown it can have a Lord of the Rings Vibe in visual filming and compelling deep personal storylines of fathers and sons like Cyrborg and his father relationship, that will even make Woody Allen jealous and RT is telling us the best comic film there is Black Panther, that has maybe the worst CGI in recent comic book history and not one compelling story arc to the film. I think I will pass with this one. lol

Infinity War Endgame.
The slow burn of getting there, the world building, the character development...I cared about what was going on and what was happening to the characters because Marvel took the time to make it possible.
They didn’t just throw everything in a blender and pour out a mish mash of feats, one liners and a villain that had pretty much zero build up to establish his credibility.

Again more movies doesn’t mean something is better. There was very little character development for the majority of characters

[CosmiComic]

Yeah, but we already got plenty of development for most ot them before that. And continue to after that. I don't feel the same was true in the Justice League

[Adam West]

But in this case it is. The original 6 Avengers got plenty of character development, either from the Avengers movies, through their appearance in other character movies, or their own titles. By the time Endgame came, we are already invested in these characters. Black Widow death carries much more weight than Superman in BvS because we saw how character developed throughout Avengers and Cap movies.

I disagree. Most of the characters are generic and not developed

[SiegePerilous02]

While I'm not wild about the the arcs of the MCU heroes at all times, this Superman is very underdeveloped and generic.

The only reasons his death carries any weight exist outside of the film's narrative, not in it. We're supposed to feel sad because it's Superman and he's been big since the 1940s. Nat and Tony's deaths have more weight because we've "known" them (these specific versions) longer.
