If you went indepth about anything that came out after the announcement of the Snyder Cut a year ago, you'd know Snyder's reshoots amounted to one week of additional photography. You said yourself Whedon had months to reshoot his stuff. Stop with the bullshit narrative and just state you don't like his movies.
What bullshit narrative? Of fucking course I don't like his movies.
You equated Snyder's reshoots to Whedon's reshoots in your post even if it's evidently clear they're not in any shape or form comparable.
It's ridiculous. He'd be fighting Darkseid and people would complain that he needs to needs to smile more.
You say that, but some people still don't like that interpretation. So yeah, part of the problem is that he's not the superman people want. The writing didnt help either.
Snyder shoot about 5h of footage, made a first cut of 3h and something.
From the post you made:
Many articles have stated the additional photography amounted to about four minutes. Some of it was adding the Joker to the cut since he thought it was a disservice to add the Joker easter egg in BvS without explaining what made Batman into the fallen hero he became in that movie. That's a far cry from the months of reshoots Whedon had in his disposal to change the entire movie.
The one I always remember as the jarring shift from Bruce talking to Aquaman inside the dark dingy bar, to them going outside into the bright sunshine and being all jokey jokey.
And saying the reshoots were 'needed' is pretty loaded if you ask me.
I'm still not seeing where I'm "comparing" anything. I said Snyder's intended reshoots weren't done under Whedon's months-long rework of the movie.
Here's the thing. Snyder is very clearly not telling the story of a DC Universe were Superman is some sort of uncaring callous sociopath. looking strictly at the text of the films themselves, Superman himself is very clearly supposed to be a caring, heroic, aspirational figure like the Superman we know.
It's only because of Snyder's sensibilities as a storyteller, in particular for brutalist, hard edged bombast that makes it seem that way.
When his Superman does this:
Or this
or this
Or this
It's supposed to be heroic. Cool even.
Will literally never forget the fucking expression this lady sitting next to me gave when Doomsday first appeared. Just the hand gesture and headshake like "what the fuck is even happening anymore? Where the fuck did this come from?"
I believe there were to be 2 further films or a film in 2 parts. Film 1 Darkside invades thrashes earth as per knightmare scene from BvS, Lois dies Supes goes bad. Film 2 The Gang Fight Back set mainly in Apokolips.
I don't see the problem lol? I mean the first guy sexually assaulted a woman (not to mention Clark wasn't even Supes yet, so...). Second one is Zod literally trying to destroy the earth. What's the problem here again? Third one is him... avoiding being blown up by Zod? Okay? Plus the buildings are already evacuated/destroyed and Zod is literally the main threat at that moment... And the last guy is literally holding Lois hostage (and Supes didn't kill him anyway; Snyder confirmed it).Here's the thing.
