True. I actually think that Synder is like the dumbest asshole in Hollywood. I don’t think Watchmen was even going to turn out well in movie form, but it’s so easy to do a good Batman movie, though. Also, did you see his new money laundering scheme?
Yeah, there's a reason all the chuds think Rohrschach is the good guy. It's not just them being totally oblivious to their own ideology as usual, the film actively pushes that interpretation.
I have my own misgivings with the comic (it’s a bit misogynistic and homophobic at times, also is a bit circlejerky and stupid) but it has really, really good art, and some of the best panels I’ve seen in a while. Watchmen deserved better
I disagree. The plot is kinda just ‘wot if cape man real and bad’ and anyone who thinks this is a brilliant plot needs to be smashed 30-40 times in the head with a golf club
I’m entirely convinced that the Justice League Synder Cut is literally just money laundering. He apparently spent 70 million on reshoots, but added less than ten minutes of footage. This is some kind of scam in my mind
Idk about that. The reshoots probably added less than 10 minutes of footage in the final cut, whatever that looks like, but he may have shot a lot of coverage, not to mention there was probably a ton of footage that he shot before it was handed over to Joss Whedon that needed to be finished. It's funny how he was like "oh yeah it's ready, WB just has to release it" when it was a fucking rough cut where none of the post production was actually done.

There's others who have comparably awful ideology, but Snyder is so much of a goddamn hack fraud that he makes Michael Bay look like the new Kubrick.
He did a bad job with watchmen because he didn’t understand it. How do you not understand Alan Moore’s least subtle comic ever?

Absolutely. Not all of it has aged well, but it's still a wonderfully precise deconstruction of the genre.

What, his Snyder cuts? Is that what those are for?

It’s money laundering. You dont need 70 mil for reshoots
I just think people are vastly underestimating how much money Zack Snyder is capable of wasting on subpar products
