I've not actually seen the DCEU Snyder films (or actually any DCEU films at all lol, which is odd because I love capeshit but here we are) so I've only know what I've heard second hand. I don't know shit all about their politics so I don't know if there's anything specific that CHUDs latch on to?

I have seen: 300 (which I enjoyed but I was pre-woke then and I'm aware it has some pretty shit politics)

Watchmen (which as a super-fan of the comic I quiet enjoyed for being what I thought at the time was super-faithful adaption, until the ending which I actually preferred to the comic's for making more sense, but I'm aware there's some really good criticisms from leftist fans of the comic about how Snyder didn't actually understand Watchmen but I've never been able to find something in a digestible format about it, just offhand comments in Shaun's twitch chat)

and Sucker Punch (which I enjoyed at the time as dumb fun and because cute girls in hot outfits, I saw it a bit before I started to get woke on feminism though. I have seen defenses of the film from a feminist angle [from MovieBob, lol] that vibe with me but I think in the end even if they were TRYING to do a weird deconstruction/satire they so clearly failed at it based on the reaction, too many feminists hated it and too many men didn't get the subtle message and loved it for what it was pretending to be. So whatever they were trying to do failed too spectacularly for me to give them credit for what they were trying to do.)

I do find it odd though, on the subject of the main question I'm asking here, that Snyder apparently tried to make a subtly feminist movie that involved tricking horny nerds into seeing it and then getting "sucker punched" by the movie's message, but super-fans of the director are all rightwinger anti-feminist nerds who hate Brie Larson?

Please someone explain rightwing superfans of Zack Snyder to me thank you.

    Justice League was a trash movie and I genuinely don't understand why so many people seem to think that a different director cut would save it. Not even good by "movie I watched on a plane" standards.

      Justice league was very much "we need to be on the same level as the MCU IMMEDIATELY" and like no lmfao you're can't do that in one movie lol there isn't enough time for character development at all.

      I'm not saying that it's going to be the greatest movie ever made, but I typically enjoy Snyder's work and the theatrical cut has only about 30 minutes of Snyder's footage present, the rest is reshoots. The Director's cut that will be releasing next year is somewhere around 3.5 hours long and entirely Snyder's footage.
