Due to overwhelming demand online, HBO Max willrelease Zack Snyders version of 2017sJustice Leaguein 2021.
Theyre gonna #ReleaseTheSnyderCut.
But it wont be as easy as it seems.
Snyder even chimed in with his ownappreciation.
What are they even talking about?
Still, the DC Universe pushed on.
Instead, he showed them a two-hour rough cut that everyone agreed was notit.
How close is it to Snyders original vision?
Almost immediately, rumors swirled that Snyders edit of the film would have been muchdarker.
Why are people tweeting about it now?You underestimate how much they wanna see this movie.
In fact, rumors of such an endeavor began swirlingagain in May 2020, shortly before launch.
But fans begancampaigningfor his version of the film to be released as bonus footage long before that.
Affleck tagged along and Snyder appreciated it.
Wait, are we sure the Snyder cut exists?
That recording from the directors-cuts event is pretty muffled, and Snyder noticeablydid notscreenJustice Leaguethere.Apparently, it does!
Or, at least, it will.
Theres no way its ever happening.
According to theTimes, Whedon added almost 80 new script pages when he took over.
Kiersey Clemons, who played a love interest for Miller, was cut from the film entirely.
Seems like #ReleaseTheSnyderCut should be #JusticeForKierseyClemons, but we digress.
Remember the Great Henry CavillCGI Mustache Mess?
Thats all from the Whedon cut.
No weirdCGI mouth, presumably.
Who even wants it?Aside from Snyder, Gadot, Affleck, and the robbed Clemons?
The usual: fans on the internet.
WhenJustice Leaguefirst came out, a petition to release the Snyder cutgarnered nearly 180,000 signatures.
Fans alsowrote lettersto Warner Bros. executives, called them, and generally made a fuss all over the internet.
Thats … a lot.Snyder fans are absolutely doing the most, yes.
Well, it looks like their hard work paid off.
How did the Snyder cut land at HBO Max?
Itll be nearly four years of #ReleaseTheSnyderCut by the time it comes out in 2021.
Lets see if it was worth it.
