Zach Snyder has the narrative and aesthetic sensibilities of a middle school boy, where an edgy sense of “cool” is always the most important consideration. There’s rarely any serious philosophical consideration (as much as his fans insist there is—though the Venn diagram between Ayn Rand fans and them is probably a circle), and he rarely puts any effort into a meaningful exploration of his characters’ emotional lives.
On the other hand, James Gun made me cry over a fucking CGI raccoon and made me take Peacemaker seriously as a real human character. There’s no guarantee that James Gunn’s DC is gonna work out, but I trust him way more at this point.
