    Also: hot take but I always actually kind of passively liked the idea of releasing the “snyder cut” in whatever format it was before he left production. The movie was never going to be “good”, but I really liked the idea of actually seeing a workprint cut with all the greenscreen, sound mixing, scoring, color grading, et al moving magic not in the frame yet. So much of these capeshit movies are built in post production I really think it would be fascinating to see what it looks like before all the digital artists do their magic.

    Sometimes they include stuff like that on special features for a movie, but usually only for a few scenes.

    I can appreciate that we at least have two versions of roughly the same movie from two different directors. Being able to see some of the same scenes put into different contexts was a fun treat. Shame that it's for a shit movie, though.

      I mean, it was a shit movie, but it wasn't nearly as shit as what was originally released. And I also kinda feel that there's a good hour and a half movie to be mined from those four hours.
