Didn't it? Granted WB has insane expectations for it, but the whole reason we never got another Superman solo was they weren't happy with MoS's box office
People notice people shitting on things for the sake of shitting on them and tend to defend those things more than they otherwise would.I agree the thread has a pretty lame premise but between this and the actual cut thread; when did Era gain such a big Snyder defense force? Or has it always been lurking in the shadows waiting for this day.

John landis might be luckier. He killed three people and still managed to get work after that.
I'm sure it gained one right around the time this place started to become toxic about him. Some users here get weirdly personal when it comes to Snyder.I agree the thread has a pretty lame premise but between this and the actual cut thread; when did Era gain such a big Snyder defense force?

Dawn of the Dead is an exceptional remake and that's all that matters to me.
Defence force? I didn't see anything of sorts, no one is defending the guy with everything.I didn't see many movies from him but the ones i saw (300 and Watchmen) i really liked.Why is he so disliked by the way? Does is it have to do how he treats comic book licences or something?I agree the thread has a pretty lame premise but between this and the actual cut thread; when did Era gain such a big Snyder defense force?

Superman Returns pulled in 391 when it was all said and done. So yeah, Man of Steel didn't under perform. I'm sorry, but some dumbass studio exec that gets quoted saying he believes it'll cross a billion does not mean WB as a whole expected it to. I never saw that from any news source when it was coming out.What was the last Superman movie returns? And if I'm remembering it didn't even do to hot. How'd MoS be considered underperforming to that?
I don't get it either, OP. He has an entire industry making concessions for him and a entire legion of "fans" that constantly make apologies for him.
Like out of ALL the directors out there-THIS is your guy?? It's a cult of personality.
I think having Nolan involved meant WB expected MoS to do TDK/TDKR numbers which was always a dumb expectation. If they had done Man of Steel 2 and it reviewed better, than it might've crossed the billion threshold.What was the last Superman movie returns? And if I'm remembering it didn't even do to hot.

I agree and it's shitty.Snyder's a poor director, I do not like a lot of his output.
But for all the time this site has existed the Snyder hate train has been so aggresive it's genuinely annoying now.
I remember having a discussion in a Marvel thread about a year back. No one mentioned Snyder. Had nothing to do with him. But someone quoted me and wrote "found the Snyder fan".
It is constant. Absolutely worse than the DC fans in return.
And it's also the same posters. Every thread. I see a DC thread I know exactly who's gonna be in it starting arguments and I'm always right.
+1 to this. I'd take MoS, Watchmen and 300 any single day over anything Polanski touched. Would rather support someone who hasn't been confirmed to be a total waste of life.
This topic also ignores that his two biggest flops, BvS and Justice League, weren't actually his fault. Even if you still don't like the Ultimate Edition it's a much better film than the theatrical cut. And Justice League was a Frankenstein's monster of that same type of studio editing and Whedon's own ideas. Dude got to release one DC movie to theaters that was actually his.
300 is the only good thing he's done and I say this as someone who likes his Dawn of the Dead despite its stupid zombies.
"Luck" it's called hard work, he's a get things done kind of guy.
It underperformed to the expectations of the studio.
Man Of Steel Box Office Predicted To Exceed $1.34 Billion
How confident is Warner Bros. feeling about Man Of Steel? With online tickets sales outpacing any [...]comicbook.com
Not every film gets a hatchet job the way BvS did, though. It wasn't even competent editing. If you're cutting things to save time you excise sub plots. You don't just cut the subplots short.Nah, BvS's successes and failures are on Snyder. Every movie has studio interference. Snyder is working with a studios money and IP. If Snyder couldn't edit down his vision to 2 hrs and 30 minutes than he's a sloppy director.
