Honestly the following weeks will be easier if we restrict the Star Wars Discourse to arguing over who is the bigger himbo: Finn, Poe, or Lando.

It is literally impossible that the movie is done. If Snyder is telling you that his version of the Justice League is done then he is baldly lying through his teeth and that's not actually up for debate in the way that you seem to think it is, sorry.

Snyder left JL production five months before the movie was actually released. No blockbuster film is finished and watchable five months in advance. Who exactly do you think finished compositing the shots for Snyder's cut? Who finished texturing Cyborg's scenes in his version? Who did the color-grading for Flash's speed effects? Who finished all foley work and balanced the volume? You're telling me Snyder sat in front of his Macbook one day and did all the audio and visual FX for the film all by his lonesome? Bull-literal-poo poo and I genuinely worry about your intelligence if you believe that. Hundreds of artists work months after months to polish a film in the amount of time they have before release.

This is exactly what we mean when we say you have no idea how films are actually made. A film is not finished five months in advance and a director cannot finish it on his own. I don't know how to put it into smaller words than that and I think the internet at large is getting a bit tired of the fanatics who refuse to believe it. But no, of course it's everyone else who's ignoring the plain facts, you're totally the only ones who can see the obvious truth behind the lies, ha.
It's not quite impossible, there's always the possibility that Snyder somehow worked out access to the terabytes of 12 bit film scans that make up the raw footage and has independently financed completion by hiring effects studios between jobs. The Snyders do have that kind of cash, it wouldn't be shocking for Snyder's contracts to allow him a copy of all raw footage, and two years is long enough to piecemeal something minimum-viable-product together. It would be highly unusual, but not impossible.

I would assume that if the HBO Max rumours are true then that's more or less exactly what he's done, maybe pumped some of his own cash into finishing the movies as a fig leaf to Warners, and right now is trying to cut a deal with WB for them to pony up the rest of the cash to add polish. Once you consider that the rumoured HBO Max release is still five months away, there's more than enough time for that to happen. But that five months also means that unless some worker at WETA or ScanLine spills the beans there really isn't any way to prove that they didn't just get handed a bunch of shots in December that haven't been touched since 2017.

If that were the case, though, I don't know why Snyder wouldn't just say "yes, I have been personally hiring WETA to do additional effects for Justice League over the course of 2018 and 2019" because even if you're "not supposed to do that" because WB owns the movie, it makes him look like a badass rebel filmmaker dedicated to his Vision™ and no one in the audience is going to give a crap about "supposed to." And, as 2019 has shown us all, rules are fake.

As far as Snyder "not knowing how to make movies", aside from the obvious hyperbole there is an element of fact to it.

He has been demonstrably bad at understanding the market that he's making movies for, selling WB and audiences on his vision, and staying within the constraints of the job. He's been asked to do a two page book report on The Dark Knight Returns and has turned in an encyclopedia-length AU fanfic instead. Like, Zack firing back that the three and a half hour cut "was not the assembly cut" isn't in his favour. My dude, Zack, that's just showing you didn't read the assignment. He's the guy in debate who thinks time limits shouldn't apply to him because his ideas are just that good, which, as with all guys who think that, they never are. While I respect the sheer cojones involved in taking hundreds of millions of dollars and making a weirdly revealing, incredibly self-indulgent piece of film out of it, it's not the job he was given.

Tim Rogers is extremely, sometimes painfully sincere. I think part of the reason I love his videos is just how sincere he is about the things he loves and also how often he weaves in stories from his life that just sort of ring true and makes me feel that sort of shared "aww man, life is sad sometimes and we all feel sad sometimes" feeling.

This video might well be him at his most depressive though. I don't know what "doing okay" means for Tim Rogers but I hope he's doing okay.

Maybe if I called it 'Interpretive Stabbing'...
Poe gives off the impression of deliberately cultivating a himbo image, like he's evaluated all his options in every situation and decided gently caress it, I'm doing the COOL one.

Finn may or may not be a legit himbo, it's hard to tell since he's deliberately thrown out of his depth as a matter of course.

I'm not sure how Lando is even an option, you take that back.

Joseph is weird because his whole thing is tricking 1000 year old Aztec fitness gods to death, but when the very same Aztec fitness gods placed their wedding rings of death around his blood vessels, one of his complaints was that bigamy was illegal where he came from.

Joseph's true power is he can fool everyone into thinking he's a himbo so they don't see it coming when he completely improvises a reversal.

I love long analyses/recaps of speedruns, so I'll have to give this a watch later

In the same vein as Summoning Salt, there's Karl Jobst, who's channel I found recently. He's done a quite a few videos on speed running techniques and records set in FPS games. I liked this one on Quake, where he gets into the details of how the speedrun of E1M1 developed over the years.
