Comment on Official poster for "Superman" (2025)
muyessir@lemmy.world 4 days agoI haven’t seen his latest movies, but the consensus seems that they’re bad. But when I saw ZSJL it felt like a more complete story arc. I don’t know how better DCEU would’ve been if he did his plan, but at least we wouldn’t have gotten Joss Whedon’s cut.

I actually like Zach Snyder and legitimately enjoyed Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon Part 2 (part 1 not so much,) but it’s hard to ignore his flaws.
His Justice League felt like a complete story, but the ending where he teased the post apocalyptic world with the evil Superman was just weird and not in a good way. Presumably, that was where he wanted to take the DCEU and I don’t think audiences would have been invested.

Yeah, at the time it seemed like people wanted lighthearted, bright, popcorn superhero movies, and the fatigue wasn’t apparent yet. This is why i think if Zack had his way it would’ve been better, he wanted to do something interesting and risky, and maybe create something that’s not in the same formula Marvel has perfected and overused.
Let’s hope James Gunn doesn’t go for the same strategy Marvel has right now.

Zach’s DCEU wasn’t perfect but he at least had an interesting idea and it’s a shame he didn’t get to see it through. I’m interested to see where Gunn goes with it.
