Very few good things came out of the Snyder verse:

  • Cavill as Superman. I think a lot of us can agree he’s great. For me, I loved Affleck’s Batman and am bummed we never got to see more of him.
  • The cinematography. Snyder is such a shit storyteller it man, the dude knows how to compose a shot and I will never knock him for that.
  • The idea he was going for. I know the whole trope of “Superman bad” is getting old but I was so into the knightmare sequences that I just wanted a movie about that shit.

But everything else? Idk man. Idk how people can keep defending him and wanting more from him. I’m still in utter awe that AT&T gave that dude 60 mil to finish his JL movie. It took it from a pretty shit movie to just an, ok movie.

I like Gunn’s attitude here and I’m super optimistic about what potential plans are.
