nah don’t worry i didn’t like it at all. i don’t even really like joss wheadon’s style, and i enjoyed the snyder cut a lot more
i just don’t think it’s the snyder “cut” when it’s double the length that it was originally supposed to be in cinemas had he been able to go ahead and finish it. i like it, but i don’t think it’s fair to compare the two versions side by side. what has been released is an entirely different beast and not what we would have seen in cinema
i do like the idea that a director can just come out and drop what his vision was for the movie is in it’s entirety without interference from the studio and having to keep it to a fixed length. i’m hoping we get to see more like this as a result
fully agree that wheadon snuffed the original movie
It wouldn’t have been. Snyder making a 4 hour film was him being bad at his job (that job being “make a film that can be shown in cinemas”).
Ultimately necessary for the movie to work at all because they decided to skip half of the League and rush out their team up movie.

He did say he fought hard with the studio on the runtime.
Ultimately I’m glad we got his original cut and not another studio butchered mess.
That said release the green lantern cut
it’s basically him dropping a directors extended cut, without there ever being a theatrical cut
which is why if the movie needed to be 4 hours long, it should have been two movies in the same vain as infinity war/endgame. but i don’t know if this was a snyder decision or a studio decision or both
ultimately
this is the big issue
I am actually a big fan of longer runtimes on movies. Don’t at all mind a 3-4 hour runtime so long as natural breaks are included, like it was with Snyder Cut
I do think the age of cinema is coming to a close, and movies will be adapting to streaming format more going forward, and I’m ok with that
i’m just agreeing with you.
dc trying to play catchup with marvel, and rushing towards the big team up movie without laying the groundwork
i am as well, extended versions of lord of the rings for example here. and i agree with you that we might be moving in that direction, and if so then i’m down with it (provided i’m allowed to take a pee break at some point)

I don’t think this would’ve worked either
The first half was 100% setup and character building for the 2nd half. They would’ve never worked as separate movies. I can imagine people would’ve been left unsatisfied by the first movie and then they would’ve had to wait for who knows how long to get payoff for all the things that the first movie started.

Ah my bad Akamito, I understood something else entirely.
I love DC Comics, but their movies… Their movies generally suck or are a very strong meh.
As it currently is, yeah, because it was planned as a single movie. had they planned it as a two parter from the beginning then it would have likely been structured in a more natural way
i guess it comes down to whether they understood that the amount of setup they were trying to do was never going to fit in such a small run time early on, or if it happened as they got too far in to production
clearly we need another 8 hour version
'cos longer=better
I like how part of the Snyder cut’s premise was that it’d fix continuity errors regarding Aquaman but it actually just introduced more of them.
Also in all honesty it didn’t feel that long to me. It was like binging a show.
No one’s saying longer is definitely better, but Snyder Cut earned its runtime. Didn’t feel dragged out at any point imo.

I wouldn’t go through an 8H movie in one sitting. I was even surprised some people went through a Marvel Marathon the day of Endgame Part 2 release but these people exist.
Superman screamed for like twenty minutes
Burn London. Burn Parliament and the Home Office. Return to the Petty Kingdoms. Mercia, Rise!
now we’re talking, comrade 
Scottish Independence?
At this time of year,
at this time of day,
in this part of the country localized entirely within your party?
