Watched the whole thing, really great. It was nice to get confirmation on some things, and how he blew up some things, like the previously read ”unsubtle” Moby dick allusion with the supposed whale shape was actually just a convenient looking hole he thought looked like a shrimp. The fire retardant suits comment made me lol.

Really it was just nice to hear someone talk about a super hero flick on terms other than just how cool it looked, though there's plenty of that. He gets in to why he's shooting shots thematically, brings up metaphors and philosophies, which all you'd be hard-pressed to find on another action blockbuster commentary.

The best part about the story boards was that it was the only time he became the meme people see him as, pointing at the boards while making explosion sounds.

When you’re part of a group who will go to ridiculous lengths defending the Martha thing or the actual jars of piss I’m not sure saying this sarcastically really works as well as you think

Using the word defending says lot about how you see villains, when the piss jar is a middle finger to decorum itself.

The Martha thing was clunky and fans of the movie won’t disagree. It being some huge burn tho is sad.

I have no issue with the scene, it's probably one of Affleck's best performances on screen, next to his dialogue with chris pine in smoking aces.

I'll never understand the hang up over the Martha scene, especially when Martha is never said on it's own. Everything is laid out. But we don't have forever memes about cap going weak at the knees at the name of Bucky to the extent it's a plot point in endgame.

It's the biggest tell, really. I just assume their used to centerframed action in a linear movie. I really think dream sequences have destroyed people's minds.

Big "video card box art" energy.

Maybe I'm just burned out on the look of superhero films and 90% of everything I see being CG. I feel like the CG in the MCU films started looking worse with every new film but goddamn does the CG in this trailer look like complete loving dogshit.
It's cgi, and as you said it's middling almost everywhere you look, so why not just focus on what they're trying to achieve. We're obviously not near the singularity or able to have CGI not in the uncanny valley. Like we get it looks like a video game they use the same tools and share the same visual language.

I was trying to be nice and say your opinions are just that, since I don't think it looks lovely, especially not relative to any other tent pole releases. Plus the whole thing is going to have a cohesive directorial vision that not even Mcu can claim with their vast pre and post vis departments.

It was pretty blatant in it's racism and it put Steve front and center for a lot of the movie, that airplane museum sequence was gratuitous. Don't even have to get into the director handwaving Diana's unnecessary body snatching rape or awful villain that should've ended with wishing for more wishes.

If you're not watching the live interview right now you're really missing out. Snyder's taking questions from fans, and even took one from Harry Lennox about his philosophy on Martian manhunter. It's on Twitter and I'm assuming youtube for ign.

Lmao he just spoiled the movie ends on a massive cliffhanger and even the commentator was like oh no.

Man people loving hate Zack Snyder and the Snyder Cut haha drat. I was just poking through a Reddit thread and I never saw "Snyder bro" sincerely until then, and a bunch of comments were to the effect of "people are going to be disappointed when there is no difference" or "it's not going to be as good as the original"

Anyone who has anything nice to say about the JLTC is immediately disqualified from talking about what constitutes "good cinema." On a fundamental level that poo poo is an abomination of spliced footage, trite dialogue and active minimizing of women and people of color.

It's also a super hero movie with a meta history of brutality so don't expect old folks to pop it on just to pass the time. I know some of the zacktivated are hoping it's big, but it's borderline delusional to think this will do ww84 numbers. ww84 is a female led film so it had families watching.

yeah I am you're just dense. the post-credits scene in iron man 1 that establishes there are going to be tie-in movies and tv series and other superheroes besides iron man, the Enabling Act that began the thousand-year reich of the Cinematic Universe, was like 45 seconds long, but that's the comparison I'm making here. the justice league already was supposed to tie a lot of brands together with batman, the flash, cyborg, what-have-you. but the marketing guys thought, this isn't enough. we needed more brands. how many brands could we fit into an extra hour, and then how will we sell it? the snyder cut is the answer

so I'm asking, why would Zach Snyder, as an independent director making his own creative choices, care about the suicide squad version of Joker? why would he care about giving more screentime to darkseid, a villain with no character arc within his film and small relevance to its plot? I can sense the pedantry coming over the horizon – I know Darkseid is supposed to be steppenwolf's boss. but as a character he doesn't matter to Justice League. his inclusion in the special edition is just marketing, like when a completely new wrestler appears at the end of a WWE match and faces off with the winner, and says I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON PAY-PER-VIEW SEPTEMBER 29TH. it's cheesy crap written by committee

You wrote a lot to say you don't know the history of the Snyder cut or Zack's current relationship (lack of)with WB, let alone the process of filmmaking. You've written an embarrassing fan fic.

IMO Superman wrecking the dude holding Lois hostage at the beginning is pretty crucial if nothing else. It sets up the basis for his tension over whether his human connections make it impossible for him to be Superman correctly
Superman doesn't have to wreck anyone for it to be an incident, that's why they never show him explicitly wrecking a dude and ask you to believe Clark when he says he didn't kill anyone.
