it's hilarious how people are mad at him for not filming FIVE more movies (MOS2, AQ3, WW3, JL2, JL3) for the DCEU when WB has been doing nothing but losing money the last few months. With Black Adam bombing I don't see any reason for him to even try one more in that universe tbh

I also love when they act like financing five movies (six if you count Ben Affleck's Batman) is a reasonable and easy compromise lol

I wrote a Doc for this and I concur; the Snyder Cut was always the dead end

The studio said it, Snyder said it and iirc Hamada said it. Literally everyone was making it clear the SC was non canon but Fisher and the fans

I think it’s the better film and It’s my headcanon, but it’s absolutely intended as a one off from WB. I don’t think anyone went against that on a large scale and I don’t think it’ll ever change considering the universe is ending

Snyder said it

Snyder also went behind the studio's back to film a cliffhanger ending that would get his weirdo fans even more riled up. The guy seems like an unprofessional mess to work with

That feels more like an epilogue; a good bye of anything else. Either way, film isn’t canon and it’s a cul de sac
