For me the biggest takeaway of the Snyder Cut is that it puts to rest the myth that Joss Whedon was “just finishing the movie.” You could cut the Snyder Cut down to the bone and get it to just under two hours. It would be unsatisfying, of course, but it was possible. Whedon actually went above and beyond to remove a

“Booyah” isn’t even a catchphrase though, it’s just some stereotypical slang white writers think is funny that was already stale in the 90's.

I was pretty on the fence on Fisher’s complaints initially, and the noise he made was a LOT to keep track of, and take in. Over time, others have said “No, Ray is legit, this is how it was,” and I’ve come around a lot on Whedon being an asshole, but I still didn’t necessarily think he was out to get Fisher the way he

It was actually a lot more detailed and expansive than that. Per Jezebel:

If that isn’t projection then I don’t know what. Hey, would you like to explain why you think Fisher’s role being reduced because the studio didn’t want “an angry black man” at the center of the movie isn’t racism?

It’s hilarious that you felt the need to high-handedly accuse me of racism a few posts ago and yet here you are doing everything you can to be dismissive of racism. I mean I already knew your posturing was a pure sham, but this just makes it all the more obvious.

oh it was sooooo jarring. Whedon loves a boob trampoline for goofy male characters. See Black Widow and Bruce Banner. Flash landing on Diana. I read somewhere Gal Gadot refused to film the scene so they got in body double who ALSO felt uncomfortable.

If you watched both versions of the film, Whedon cut out entire Cyborg plot (he is LITERALLY the heart of the Snyder cut), he cut out his parents, Iris West & Ryan Choi - ALL CHARACTERS OF COLOR.

It’s been said, but man, fuck Joss Whedon right in the eye.

For me it’s really difficult to genuinely look at the changes Whedon made to the Justice League movie and not find Fisher’s allegations credible based just on that. Almost every single one of them somehow managed to either be demeaning to or remove agency from POC and female characters. It is honestly an astonishing

For what it is worth, I liked it. It was definitely better than Whedon’s shit and it was a better take on the characters. I don’t get the hate on DCEU from sites like i09 and the like. I liked MOS and BvS for what it was and a lot of that was from the idea of Superman not portraying this forever boy scout. Kal El was

Uh... he wrote the fucking thing. Were they supposed to give an award for writing to someone who didn’t write the script? Were they supposed to give an award to a different show, because #equality? Are you saying they should have had a woman write the thing to begin with? We can have that discussion, but that really

I have a feeling the meltdowns will be coming from both sides.

they don’t understand that when I say ‘white people’ I don’t mean them as a person.

Reporting on a reporter getting yelled at for reporting. Now I’m commenting on it. Meta.

Yup. The only crime here was filming in portrait.

I guess we’re just supposed to inherently know not to go to Alabama and Mississippi, then, right? ‘Cause this is weird. Like, Missouri is no fairy tale land for black people, but I could list about a dozen other states that deserve a travel warning before MO.
