I believe I read somewhere that we're getting HBO Max here in Sweden during second half of this year, unfortunately. Better than nothing, I guess!
Here's what Wiki says:
Without knowing all that background info, the initial impression I got from WB hiring Whedon was that Snyder's original cut must have been too grim, not enough moments of levity, maybe structurally problematic. Whedon also added the Russian family into the third act to show what the hell these characters are even fighting for in the first place.
But now I'm curious, is this new Snyder cut going to be relentlessly grim and incoherent, a hollow spectacle that scared WB? Or did Snyder's original cut have levity and tangible stakes all along? The Wiki says he was aware that he needed to make the movie lighter than BvS (and I've read reports that say Snyder's plan was to start the franchise dark and get lighter with each movie). Was hiring Whedon actually an excuse to cut out all the Darkseid stuff, because WB considered it all set-up with no pay-off, further baffling audiences and scaring them from repeat visits to the cinema?
All food for thought. But despite all this, I suspect the Snyder Cut we're getting will still be different than the one that WB freaked out over. Snyder's had ages to think about it with no worry about sticking to a deadline.
btw, I have to re-quote this because it's amazing:
Oh really? I was beginning to think we wouldn't get it at all.
I think they tried to force Geoff Johns into the Feigi role but he's a hack so he couldn't get it done
We had around a hundred years of stand-alone movies before MCU was a thing, we can have them after it too.
That's one way of looking at the whole #SynderCut campaign, the other would be calling it an organized harassment. Note that both was are not mutually exclusive.Snyder fans bullying WB:
WB, bullied:
You too can make THOUSANDS of dollars by placing tiny little DCEU clips in local feeds all around the country!
They say if you watch all of them you'll go insane, like Arabian Nights...
User Threadbanned (1 week): antagonizing other users
Because Snyder fanboys take any attack on the movie as an attack on themselves.
It's a shame that doesn't really work out over a format like this. I would have liked to see how it would turn out.
Aquagang wya?
Smh, both sides are insufferable when it comes to Snyder films. Let's not act like it was just the fanboys that were being a problem.
lol is this my scarlet A
It's amazing to me that I ended up here, I didn't give a fuck about Snyder before 2021. After I finally watched Man of Steel and liked it, I didn't understand where all the negativity on Era was coming from. I engaged bit by bit, found most of the justifications people gave for thier contempt to be profoundly dumbassed and shallow. Now after doing more critical thinking about Snyder than I ever would have otherwise, I'm looking forward to the dude being able to finish his film however he wants.
Here, for the judgment of the Era tribunal, the hot takes of a Snyder stan:
Dawn of the Dead: meh, not big on zombie movies in general
300: "good" but fatally flawed by racist bullshit
Watchmen: meh
Legend of the Guardians: meh
Sucker Punch: bad
Man of Steel: very good
Batman v Superman: good start bad finish
4 hours of a schlocky cash grab that was so bad the director got fired from the first time is still 4 hours, no matter how you slice and dice it up
toxic cult mentality
We literally just had a thread where Snyder told his fans to attack those who didn't like his films. So please don't with this "both sides" crap
Uh...his daughter killed herself. That's why he left the movie "the first time." Jesus.
Because you pissed of the gods with your Pete Wisdom blasphemy
We had a hundred years of almost exclusively episodic television as well: primarily due to the constraints of the business model and especially as rerun syndication became prominent.
The tech has changed to streaming; the business model has changed to subscription; and episodic televisions is replaced by long-form works with variable episode lengths that drop all at once.
The movie industry is in denial that a similar change is coming. The MCU is not just a successful one-off. The DCEU should have gone with the serial-via-triology luanch it had originally planned with Snyder, and just gone from there.
Sure. If you, like, feel harassed that a group of fans tried to cheer a creative work into the world. Or that a hashtag shows up in your feed more than is to your liking, because you don't care about it, or feel antipathy for it.
But if not? Getting this movie released? Amplifying Ray Fisher in revealing Wheedon's abusive behavior that is now corroborated from other sources? Raising money for suicide prevention? Failing to get WB execs fired because the ones there in 2014-2016 already long since left? Giving HBO Max the chance to leverage existing footage into a new release while the entire industry is frozen due to COVID while maybe giving some redemption to a director who got thrown to the curb at the worst time of his life? Where is the harassment? Some mean tweets? Snyder stans being ineloquent on this forum?
Yeah what a faceplant with that and New 52.
DCEU launched when DC itself was in a pretty bad place.
Haven't seen that thread. But both sides are insufferable.
C'mon. Are we really doing this? Again? For all the hate you for the man, you post in these threads more than the fans do.
And if anyone here on Era ran someone off Twitter, they should be banned. But let's not treat Snyder/DCEU fans on Era like they're the ones who are toxic.
No but the thread where he basically fantasized about passing on the names, of those who criticized him, to his fans so he could tell his fans what to do to, and about, them, was full of people defending what he was saying and acting like the people who found the rhetoric disturbing and violent were the problem
"Some mean tweets? Snyder stans being ineloquent on this forum?"
If anything, the Ray Fisher situation and suicide prevention where drown out by people obsessed with their Cape Kino.
Obviously, this is only one side of the coin, but let's not pretend that this side doesn't exist.
Oh well? Any of them banned? Is this proof of them being toxic?
Snyder was wrong to say that, no matter how he felt. So that's the excuse to shit post in every other thread before and after?
EDIT: I see the post above. Will end it here I guess.
Yes, one was permabanned for trolling and someone else was banned for a week for insulting other users.
Yeah but that died out last summer I think. Don't think he could split it up in a way that made sense.
I believe that was the thread where the same folks shitposting in here and every other Snyder thread were comparing him to Donald J Trump. That's why there was some backlash, even from some who don't care much about the situation.
Looking forward to release day. Ready for that 4:3 goodness.
Looking forward to this. I really enjoyed Man of Steel and the Director's cut of BVS. I'll give anything the benefit of the doubt, so I'm hopeful the big issues were fixed.
I don't get it. You can do this with any fandom... my point is, if anyone is doing this here, report them. Otherwise, why treat all fans the same? How does this excuse shitty behavior for the people who hate Snyder?
