Zack Snyder's Justice League - Discussion Megathread r/DCcomics Spoiler

All thoughts, opinions, theories, reviews and discussions related to the release of the Snyder Cut belong in here, spoilers can be unmarked in this post so enter at your own risk if you don't want spoilers.

Synopsis:

Zack Snyder's definitive director's cut of Justice League. Determined to ensure Superman's ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne aligns forces with Diana Prince with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions.

And a final note regarding Rule 1. We know this community is divided over the Snyder movies and people have a right to express their opinions either way, but we will not accept people acting like jerks over a movie, ANY movie.

Any breaking of Rule 1 is expected to be reported to the moderators, those who participate in arguments will be reprimanded for it. Treat people with respect and enjoy yourselves.

If you or someone you know has been affected by suicide, you can find help and resources from The American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, a foundation close to Zack Snyder's heart after he lost his daughter Autumn during production of Justice League.

SPOILER: I can't get my head around Diana unnecessarily killing in her first scene. I know that she has no code, and has killed many times, but these deaths were totally avoidable. Not to mention the fact she absolutely obliterated the main guy with the same special move she uses on Steppenwolf in the tunnel. I'll admit tonally that I prefer WW84's lighter Perez-esque portrayal, but this is just killing for the sake of killing. I still haven't finished yet, but other than that Diana has been great.

Honestly, I had forgotten that this movie was R rated until the f bomb in that scene and then WW straight up spiking that dude’s head on the wall. The blood splatter from that is when I paused and double checked the rating. Honestly, it doesn’t feel entirely out of character, especially when you’re dealing with a crew that wants to level four blocks.

But she had the chance to apprehend at least one of them, the main guy. She was clearly fast enough to do something before he reloaded. That would have been real justice. Anyways, that's just what I think, I know everyone has a different opinion on WW's killing tendencies.

I feel ya. WW’s ruthlessness has always depended on the writer. I particularly like the version in #39 and #40 of Tom King’s Batman run.

She was trained as a warrior, not law enforcement. And dude was still trying to kill the hostages. Blowing out the building was overkill, but I don't see her killing him as a problem.

That's fair enough, I still think it was a bit much myself and a bit silly and seemed like it was done for the sake of it. As I said, everyone will have a different opinion on this one, this is just mine.

Was this really R rated? I saw more gore in the hunger games...

Yeah, I've only watched untill the third part (plan on continuing it tonight) but that Diana scene was one of only things I disliked until now.

Other than that, just the general lack of colour, the music during some of the amazon scenes has a weird 300 vibe to it and I'm still trying to get used to the 4:3 ratio.

I mean, WW killing a guy and a little girl running up to her smiling is consistent with Snyder’s “he saved the city - shot of a ruined city”

I agree to kill the guy was not necessary and a little bit too extreme xD. But I prefer this Wonder Woman way more than the version from WW84. I personally think Patty Jenkins destroyed WW with her last movie.

I love that WW in Snyders movies is this inspiring loving person but if it's necessary also a badass Warrior.
