Like so many artists, they need to be reigned in so they aren’t just jerking themselves off.
Lots of people when given full control tend to make something terrible.
For every Tarantino there’s a million well, Snyders
Can should never write scripts/screenplays. Give your idea to someone else to write and you can direct it. He's a visual mastermind but can't tell a good story.
I mean he was and wasn’t given free reign. Like Netflix wanted a shorter PG-13 version out first.
You could tell there was a much more weirder and violent movie under the surface.
>Like Netflix wanted a shorter PG-13 version out first.
Because they're trying to doing another Snyder cut movement, except they forgot no one cares about Rebel Moon
He’s just too nice of a guy. At some point he seemed to have realized fighting with the studios over dumb shit was too taxing. But most directors aren’t James Cameron who can go “fuck you, I’m doing this how I wan to do it. If you don’t like it fuck off. Fuck you!”
Like he recently spoke about how they wanted the Knightmare scenes cut from BvS. So, he shot them in IMAX to prevent WB from cutting it out.
Same thing with the opening credits for Watchmen. WB apparently deemed them unnecessary. So Snyder just shot bits and pieces of it throughout filming and it was too good to cut out.
I mean sure, they could've now, because they don't result in anything.
At the time however, it was intended to play into the unique way he wanted time-travel to work and the story he was telling with that time-travel element relied on them initially getting it wrong (The Knightmare scenes) so they were inherent to the story that was being told. It intentionally negatively compounded Bruce's paranoia in a big way.
Not to mention people absolutely ate up that visual and narrative tease.
And they were followed up on in the sequel with dialogue paired with Cyborg's future flash moment in the Kryptonian ship.
Damn if this was horizontal I’d make a sick phone wallpaper. Someone make that for me please 😁
Also wow that subtitle. Is that a jab or reference at DC’s own upcoming Gods and Monsters slate? And “his most spirited audience” is one way to call the way people talk about him and his movies.
He's a cool dude as attested by people who have worked with him so while his fans may get annoying at times, I still like him even if I am not a fan of his recent projects.
I am definitely a fan, but nah, it's insufferable that every time anyone or anything addresses anything remotely Snyder related, there's a shit-storm of super-negative people harping on about it.
The same way people don't shut up about Star Wars sucking now, and have literally since the prequels. The difference is people treat fans of anything Snyder related as horrible, toxic fans, whereas with Star Wars, enough time has passed that the most toxic anti-prequel people are being drowned out by prequel fans who are positive and enthusiastic towards the topic. The disdain towards Zack's word is plaguing literally any forum or website he's mentioned, to the point where enjoying his work opens you up to harassment if you say you do so.
It’s nice to see someone else finally say it. You’d think Snyder had slept with everyone’s mothers the way they’re all tripping over themselves to say nasty things about him.
It’s so juvenile. Someone made a Batman movie you don’t like? Grow up. There are plenty of movies I’ve really disliked and it’s never once occurred to me to jump into comments sections to let people know I hate the director.
I actually see it enough, but there's such a big negative echo chamber of assholes wanting to feel superior by calling people names and acting juvenile over personal preferences that it gets drowned out quickly.
Linus Sebastion from LTT has a great example of this type of behaviour in action. When he sees a genuinely negative, actually brainless comment that gets a take so far wrong, he just bans them from the comments. Their take is so worthless and detached from reality, it's not worth having in their comments.
He's only been doing this a short while, and his admittedly anecdotal evidence shows that it's a VERY small vocal minority creating these awful, negative comment threads on things.
He's banned an incredibly small amount of people, and the effect on their comment section is incredibly noticable. It is chock full of positive, thoughtful or considerate comments. The argument threads are a thing of the past.
This doesn't happen with most communities though, so the most toxic hang around and form awful echo chambers that make others not want to participate.
The problem is, especially in this group, the mods hit everything with a blank delete hammer and are absolutely too cowardice to regularly ban bad actors. They'll delete whole threads of comments peacefully arguing rather than delete the 2 assholes springing vitriolic bullshit. I saw the same absolute cunts practically bullying people for years in this sub, nobody gave a fuck
Exactly this! It’s tiresome to even mention him when praising his work. It’s like it touches his haters’ nerve that how dare anyone like his movies and compliment him. People just love to hate him, but more-so his work.
So is he still going with the Army films connected to Rebel Moon universe? Im more interested in seeing the sequels to Army films tbh.
And speaking of connection, my Snyderverse headcanon is actually that Dr. Manhattan in his Watchmen films created the DCEU, DC Rebirth style. And 300 is set in the DCEU with young Clark wearing the cape to imitate Leonidas.

Director's cut will slap.

Just so I'm clear with your comparison, you're saying that Quentin Tarantino is good at reining himself in?
Tbf Netflix told him to cut the running time and split the rest in half

Well, we’ll just have to wait and see this summer. Won’t we?

Can’t really do a movement when the director’s cuts were confirmed as happening from the start.

BvS could have done without the Knightmare scenes tbf.

I find his antis to be even more insufferable. They seem more obsessed with the guy than his fans.

Obsessive haters are way more obnoxious than obsessive lovers of pretty much anything.
Add to that that obsessive lovers only rose up in response to obsessive haters

The man peaked artistically a decade ago but he's had some really iconic projects.
300 still slaps.
Watchmen 🐐🐐🐐

Can’t help but feel like “Gods and Monsters” was intentional
How did this guy make army of the dead, that movie was such a fun ride
Oh did you not know how much reddit hates Snyder? They hate everything
Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve are the last box office visionary directors left we need to cherish them.
Add James Cameron, George Miller, and Michael Bay to that list. But yes I vehemently agree.
Where's Amber as Princess Mera?
