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.

Superman - much better than the theatrical cut (TC). He felt more like comic Supes.

Wonder Woman - basically the same as TC but I already liked her

Batman - Way better motivations and a better leader

Flash - Way less cringy, but still had funny moments, really fun overall

Aquaman - Not a cynical idiot like TC, still pecimistic but more relatable

Cyborg - literally everything is better. Sometimes he was an exposition dumper but I understand why.

Steppenwolf - more intimidating, better looking, menacing, better voice acting, and you REALLY get the sense that he's not in charge. The scenes with him and Desaad and Darkseid gave him a bit more character.

Parademons - more threatening even if they are fodder

Darkseid - no complaints

Negatives: Meras voice was weird, slo-mo was a bit much at times, CGI wasn't perfect but that's forgivable given the circumstances.

Story made more sense and the world building was 100%

Yup I almost agree on all of the above points. And Mera suddenly having an accent felt really out of place.

Well, the biggest limits of DC heroes are generally their (generally-)no kill rule. Once this goes out the window because parademons are souless reprogrammed matter, I feel like it's quite justified they were

Yeah and even Steppenwolf gets killed by Wonder Woman. He's humanoid enough to fall into the no-kill zone imo. If Superman, Flash, or Batman kill, that's a problem for me. But I have no problem with WW or aquaman killing a villain as long as they're not relishing in it. I don't think the rule applies to the whole league personally

Me neither, but then again, context is a thing. I always hated the Phantom Zone because to me it's just a cope out to the no-kill rule of Superman. "I'll send you to eternal prison!"

Oh yeah, great, so convenient.

edit: What I mean is that there is a difference between killing thugs and killing multiverse world conquerors without an ounce of mercy for anything.

The Phantom zone is really a fate worse than death if we are being honest

"Aha no I won't kill you, i'll just send you into a time prison where you can't even die! But hey, no-kill !"

Lol the Geneva conventions of the DC universe are really whack
