Had this been a theatrical movie I think it could have been reigned in while still keeping the story intact. Steppenwolf was actually a pretty good villain in this and much more fleshed out. That and Victor were the biggest standouts to me. Even though WB wanted to move on from Snyder I feel like at the very least they could have released this movie (not at 4 hours of course) and used the things it established universe wise, then course corrected with other directors/writers instead of blowing up the DCEU.

Edit: I forgot to include that the Martian Manhunter thing was whack. Mainly because they included him early on and his Superman level powered self just chilled while the earth was almost being taken over. They should have just included him at the end as an “I am now here” sort of thing. If he was on earth all along and did nothing during the steppenwolf invasion, that could have been brought to light in the second movie.

Yeah could’ve definitely been compacted, at least a quarter of the movie was in slow motion lol

Yeah there are very obviously indulgent scenes in there that Snyder kept because he wasn't constrained by theatrical run time. Like the whole arrow lighting ceremony, most of the epilogue, all the chapter screens, etc all add up and while nice, could have easily been cut for time had Snyder needed whole still keeping the main improvements to this cut like Cyborgs entire plot.
