"Remember Wonder Woman's theme, the thing they play when she's about to commit a war crime?" That's gold.
Unlike the theme itself. My god, I feel like I need a new pair of ears after listening to that
So liberating a German village is a war crime? It's not gold it's pretentious garbage....
@@dignerds Wonder Woman profile pic. You're totally impartial.
@@ShadeDraws you didn’t answer the question. How were her actions a war crime?
@@dignerds Tell me again why exactly she was killing German teenagers that didn't choose to be there? How exactly did that help her defeat Ares (aka the only guy who remembers Darkseid)?
Darkseid accidentally cleared his browser history that's how he forgot about earth.
He has PTSD.
He was in Incognito mode when he came to earth and accidentally closed the tab.
Poor Darkseid he kinda forgot...
I turned 100 thousand worlds...to dust!
Muhahahahaha.
Don't ask me about the "world that fought back" , because.... I FOR-GOT!
Dammit!
Best excuse I heard so far.
Diana in solo movies: "I only kill when necessary."
Diana in Justice League: *"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD"*
Snyder is the blood God. His Superman and WonderWoman and Batman are all killers. They all respect and believe soely in their own Supremacy. They seem to actually have little patience or use for humanity. Much like ahem, a certain someone.
Diana kills people in her solo movies. Even when it's not necessary, like one time she kicks a german out of a window leading to him falling to his death.
@@terrydubuisson4209 That she has killed before isn’t the issue and you know it. She and Batman and Superman are all bloodthirsty in Snyder films because - that’s Snyder for you.
@@summertyme5748 how is Diana blood thirsty. For killing a couple terrorist, parademons and stepponwolf.
"For killing a couple terrorist"
She killed them when she didn't have to. She blew out the wall of the building and sent shrapnel into the crowd of police - when she didn't have to.
You realize that she is a fictional character and the point is actually that SNYDER loves gore violence and bloodshed.
He made his bones [pun intended] in Zombie movie remakes and went right back to it after Snyder Cut.
He is really more suited to gore horror than super heroes.
Does that answer your question?
Steppenwolf: Why didn’t you go back to conquer Earth again, sire?
Darkseid: I forgor 💀
Why did the mother boxes go to sleep…again?
We are waiting for the plot to wake us up! - 📦 > What’s in the box!?
Hahahahahaha
For some reason, your typo in “forgot” makes your comment even funnier.
@@Mmmmiloit's a meme. Forgor is the cooler way to say forgot now. Boomer moment

Bruh joker being alive when batman is a killer is the biggest flaw in logic in the entirety kf the dceu
Exactly. This Batman tried to kill Superman but let’s the joker threaten to bumfkx him. 😌 Only Snyder….
Indeed. The first question any writer trying to write a Batman that's willing to kill should ask is, "Why wasn't The Joker his first victim?" In The Flashpoint Paradox, this was handled pretty much perfectly: Batman's willing to kill because Batman is Thomas Wayne, not Bruce, and he doesn't kill The Joker because The Joker is Martha Wayne.
Wow! Just.... wow.... And here I was *_Questioning my frigging sanity_* wondering if I was the only one to agree with Batman: Under the Red Hood implying Joker's death is the *_ONLY SENSIBLE WAY_* to end his mayhem!!!
"Please, I have a family!"
"Why does everyone keep telling me that?"
That is unironicly a golden line. It makes it clear he doesn't care and it also gives the audience one of those dark chuckle moments. He might as well have said "Mate, I'm literally trying to terraform your planet to something completely inhospitible to your kind and I'm a giant fuckin' alien, Do you think I give even an 1/8 of a shit?"
That and the removal of Wonder Woman's cringe ''I belong to no one'' are in fact the only two things the Whedon version did better. It was a good line. A shame Snyder didn't keep it, but the dialogue he wrote was fine too.
Starter, can I fund you to write a subtitle file for this?
XD
The problem is it's said with what can easily be taken as genuine curiosity, and that just makes it a joke when Edgenwolf's character motivation is just pining for daddy's approval.
@@Nickle_King The "why does everyone keep telling me that" comes from Whedon's version, where Steppenwolf just wants the Mother Boxes for the power and universe domination it will grant him. It's Snyder's version that's pining for daddy's approval, but it's still a stupid joke since SnyderWolf instead says to having families "then you have weakness".
@@insulttothehumanrace3807 Either way, it's a weak line.
It felt very awkward when Wonder Woman answered Stepenwolf's "This one will be mine!" with an "I belong to no one". He obviously meant he'd fight her alone, without the aid of his minions, not that he would literally posses her. Does Wonder Woman, a thousands of years old demigod, have the same level of understanding other people's sentences as Drax?!
LOVE THIS
XD
I mean, she had sex with a guy who got possessed by her dead hubby so she’s kinda into the possession thing.
@@nont18411 I hate how you made more sense. God I wish they hit that reset button with a headbutt.
No, it was just girl empowerment bait that makes no sense in context. I know you know this, and I know your question is rhetorical, but I can't help explicating it.
Its most likely meant to be a double entendre. Hence the response. Look beyond the surface people. Its called thinking.
Also true double entendre: 2 meanings. One obvious, the other sexually suggestive or offensive.
But at least Gal didn't start signing 'Imagine' so that's a plus!
There should be a lot more upvotes on this comment so many more upvotes
Oof. That was a big yikes.
KAL EL NO
Is called "Justice League", not the "Virtue Signal League".
There’s no heaven when everybody’s grandma dying
The reason J'onn J'onzz is called Martian Manhunter is because at the time the character first appeared, the word "manhunter" meant "someone who hunts criminals". Martian Manhunter is supposed to be a detective (he first appeared in Detective Comics) - that's where he gets his name from. Over time, the term "manhunter" has taken on a different implication, and the character in these movies is clearly not a detective, so yeah, the meaning is lost and the name comes off more threatening than it should.
Dog: The Manhunter
Or, *Martian: Bounty Hunter*
I didn't know that! I literally thought he killed humans... like he was a villain turned good, kinda like Picolo. Cool!
This is funny since in Latam he is indeed know as "Detective Marciano" which is just "Martian Detective"
Is that why why he is just called J'onn in the Justice League cartoon?
@@schwarzerritter5724J’onn is his actual name
The "four city blocks" thing is extra irritating because the character saying it is BRITISH and we don't use the term "city blocks" and none of us know what the fuck it means. It's an entirely American definition. He would simply never use this terminology and it's clearly for the sake of the target (American) audience.
Four city round-abouts then.
@@Atheismo9760 unironically still better
@Retro Chad and edgier. It's equally as cringe, just a different kind of cringe.
genuine question: what would the actual brit equivalent be? not a translation, just based on your own landscape and such -- how would the range be communicated?
@@mophead_xu Our streets aren't organised in neat blocks so he would've used miles or something location specific.
Think on this...humanities mother box hidden in a shallow hole was the last one to be found by Steppenwolf. Let that sink in. Humanities shallow ditch was literally the most successful choice.
TheRight Price lol that makes it pretty clear that the best way to hide that thing would have been for one person to take it somewhere and bury it. Or drop it inside the mariana trench somewhere and then not tell anyone. Or better yet, use a really old Atlantean to hide it, so when he dies off, there won't be anyone who can lead them to it.
I really wish they would have tied that motherbox in to Oak Island. Would have been kind of dope
Yup I hated the fact they had the first two boxes sitting on top in clear site
Well I think it's because humanity's mother box (the one buried) was the only one who didn't called out to Steppenwolf.......and the other two did which is why Steppenwolf was able to find them and not the humanity's mother box buried.....ig
@@beehive3756 soooo...why did only 2 out of 3 call out? Did the human box just not feel like calling to Steppenwolf?
"compensating by punching him like a ping pong ball into a wall splattering his brains in front of them all"
Top ten rhymes eminem couldn't have topped
I read this and heard real slim shady beat in my head
I tried playing him singing those lyrics to the instrumental track of *_Without Me_* in my head. Damn nigh succeeded too.
I've heard tell that Zack has said, out loud even, that "If you believe Batman wouldn't use guns, you're living in a fantasy world". That, plus the Wonder Woman shown by Patty, and then Zack's version, just screams that Zack is playing with action figures.
"If you believe Batman wouldn't use guns, you're living in a fantasy world"
^ Superman breaks necks and commits genocide. Wonderwoman splatters brains all over the place. Batman is a drive bye shooter. Flash is a horndog. Aquaman smashes whiskey bottles and throws them into the Ocean. Myra shits the bed...oh wait, that one was *real* life. 🤣
He also said that Batman would get raped in the prison. How DC think this is the man to lead the DCEU i dont know? Zacky obviously hates superhero.
Well...there have been versions of Batman that killed before. It's not unheard of. Hell, he actually killed in his earliest comics--I want to say he even kills the Joker the first time they meet, though don't quote me on that. That's not unacceptable. But his fucking attitude about it is; HE is as intolerant of a different view of Batman (the majority view by far) as critics are of his view, like a goddamn hypocrite.
@@BWMagus There's another problem; a problem of continuity. There is a name for an older Batman that uses guns and kills people, and that name is *Thomas* Wayne: a big part of the Flashpoint storyline was that, in the altered timeline, Bruce died while Thomas and Martha survived, causing Thomas to become a broken version of Batman. Snyder knew that the DCEU was going to have its first Flash movie be a Flashpoint adaptation, and yet, he still made his Bruce Wayne indistinguishable from Thomas Wayne.
Sure enough, rather than try to use Thomas Wayne, the Flash movie, after a million rewrites and changes in director, is now just copying Into the Spiderverse/No Way Home by bringing back the Batman from Tim Burton's Batman movies.
The main thing I utterly despise about that line is the fact that....the DC Universe IS a fantasy world. It has aliens, gods, advanced tech, magic, demons, super heroes, fictional countries, etc. It is not OUR world, it is literally a fictional world with fantastical elements to it. I am not living in a fantasy world, BATMAN is. Zack is a fucking moron.
The best reason that the story could possibly have for the motherboxes awakening was the same thing that happened in the Avengers, i.e. "Your experiments with the Tesseract is what drew Loki and his allies to it. It is a signal that the Earth is ready for a higher form of war." The act of saving Victor's life using one motherbox activates it and that's how the plot starts. But, Superman death scream. Smh.
Trying to turn the mother boxes into Infinity Stones is one of the things wrong with the film in the 1st place.
MotherBoxes are devices that open boom tubes - which are portals. That means they are basically teleporters.
They are not “way finder” mystery McGuffins that wake or sleep or fart or $hix as the plot needs.
Chris Terrio who also botched Rise/Skywalker, another plot hole fest, just can’t write.
“Act of saving Victor’s life using one motherbox activates”
⬆️ Contradicting the excuse that Superman’s death scream awakens the boxes - meaning they already woke and for completely different reason.
Also begging the question of why Steppenwolf is summoned to Atlantis if the box that Silas has and which *he spends the whole film trying to find* is what woke???
Suppose the boxes are on opposite ends of the galaxy instead of the planet. By your logic Steppenwolf is summoned to one side of the galaxy by a box on the other side, and then…here’s the kicker: *He still CAN’T FIND the box, that summoned him.* lol.
A scream that wasn’t even in the previous Superman movie to begin with smh.
Having them wake up when the world is steeped in the fear of losing Superman makes sense too.
Darkseid is a New God, the embodiment of EVIL itself. On top of that, he's a higher dimensional being that utilizes technology that's literally impossible. He could make grenades that produce anger instead of an explosion. He can kill you with a metaphor. He nearly destroyed reality by FALLING ON IT!
His terraforming weapons (Why does he even HAVE terafforming weapons? Dude can play ping pong with planets, he's the size of a STAR) being activated by sufficient fear actually make sense. Them having a Clark Kent death yell wake function makes no fucking sense even for Darkseid who shot his son from the future while he was fighting his son in the past as his son killed him.
@@kingexplosionmurder3764that would be BvS, and yes, it was.
"Remember Wonder Woman's theme? The thing they play when she's about to commit a war crime." That's is my favorite line in this whole thing.

Yeah, i didn't remember about her killing the sniper in the church.
Yeah I just got to the line and I've stopped for about 10 minutes now just listening to it and laughing
A MauLer video that's actually shorter than the movie? Oh boy
Maybe Mauler should have added more slow mo
"You shall know the end times, from when the LongMan becomes short"
that's how it starts. the feeling of rage, or powerlessness, that turns long men short.
It's shorter than the movie, therefore it's finally legitimate!
It’s shorter than the movie and yet I can’t get past 5 minutes of nonstop blabbing trying to convince people his point “makes sense”
“Instead she gives him the god killing super move”
Honestly my favorite line in the whole video and one of the details that bugged me most about justice league. Not a big detail but big enough to become a problem.
They then cut away - to figure out a way to stop her from killing them.
Also note: She moves faster than bullets - and Steppen Wolf needs to jump in the air Hulk style in order to keep up with horses and nimble ordinary Amazons who dodge his attacks..... So WW can put that Sword of hers right between his *eyes* before he can even blink. [FILM OVER].
She just - doesn't.
Note: MCU has the same problem in No Way Home when Dr. Strange refused to end his fight with Spiderman in milliseconds, and again...in MOM where God Mode Wanda could END film before it begins and in fact there is no reason for the film to even happen.
Comic book action is apparently hard.
That's why I respect the best examples - including Endgame/Infinity War, so much.

I love it when Mauler shows something stupid from the movie and says “Mmmm Snyder’s vision”.
There was nothing stupid in this movie.
@@theunknowncommenter725 I’d give the Snyder cut a rewatch then (if you can make it through that 4 hour slog fest). There’s plenty stupid in the movie. Mauler even points out that all the scenes involving the amazons telling Wonder Woman what happened with Steppenwolf taking the boxes is overly pointless and drawn out. That alone was worthless and stupid.
I like the pretzel version too
@@richardlongd6244 How does that seem stupid, if they don't tell wonder woman what happened. How would she know. It's called nitpicking. And that's what most people do in snyder films
@@josephman1488 yeah they do it a tons of nitpicking with his films.
I'm still going to say it: Most of DC's animated content is more thought out, more mature, and better written than any entry in the DCEU.
Well yeah, why do you think MauLer used a Superman vs The Elite clip to show how backwards Snyder’s Superman is?
@@tylerleach8796 I guarantee that was Meme Repository's doing. Mauler don't know shit about the animated universe lol.
As for the animated movie being better than the DCEU, yeah...until Apokolips war...
@@Zer0Hour17 I mean I found most of the New 52 animated films to be garbage.
most of. But then they dropped basically all of that hard work and well thought out plan for a horribly written movie that explains the phrase “gore for shock vallue”.
(The Apokolips movie. Absolute dogshit but looks cool)
@@EvanSol919 Absolutely. Michael Ironside's take on Darkseid in particular is far better than Snyder can even conceive of.
Aquaman was there for two things: look badass, and talk to fish...and he's all out of fish.
I kinda laughed at the scene where Aquaman struggles to kill 3 parademons, in AIR. His entire thing is water, but he fights in the sky?.
Still, great movie tho

This movie deals with a very adult theme that other comic book movies wont dare touch: heroes and villains with CTE causing them to be impulsive, have bad memory, and limited cognitive ability.

Actually Logan deals with these problems and it's good.
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p Cuz it makes sense, Logan is a dark character and have a great history in his universe while justice league barely even have any history in there extended universe
The Snyder Cut reaffirms what I’ve believed about Zac Snyder since 300: he’s working in the wrong medium. He should be a comic book artist or writer (storyboarder, specifically). It seems pretty clear by now that he has a lot of trouble with moving mediums.
Not at all - they just need to move....sloooowly.
He's a terrible storyteller. He should never work in comics. Maybe sewage maintenance.
He is great at adapting already written stories on screen.
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p
No he’s not great at that. 300 was mid, watchmen was mid, and BVS sucked
@@GigaChadh976 300 was a mid movie, but it was great at showing the tone of graphic novel. Watchmen was probably the best that could be done with adapting such a huge novel. And BvS sucked, but it was adapting 3 stories at once and written by Chris Terrio...
"But Martian Manhunter is a pacifist, that's why he didn't want to get involved!"
Meanwhile, Martian Manhunter is a 50 year old US Army General. US Army Generals are famously known for their love of pacifism.
I'm pretty sure the reason he didn't get involved was because of fire. Every Synder fight has fire or the potential to cause fire and that sort of thing is intolerable to him.
@@dragonknightleader1 That's never stopped J'onn from physically or psychically helping out somewhere else. Think Wanda during Age Of Ultron. She helped clear out the city with her telepathic abilities.
@@mfundroid1116 Yes, in other DC media. In Synderverse, why else would he not help found the Justice League? The way he was set up in Man of Steel, he could have been the Nick Fury of the group. Instead, he just lets Supes fight Zod on his own and let WW, Bats, and Supes fight zombie Zod. And in this movie, talks to Lois instead of joining the team.
@@nont18411 Yes, I was being sarcastic...
The reason j'onn doesn't show himself is exactly the reason PA Kent did''t want Clark to not show his power. And nobody know exactly what he is doing while the league is fighting. He might have been there.
Teen titans Cyborg episode did the self hate better. In that he is frustrated because having a mechanical body means that his life of training, effort and self improvement is over. He is 90% mechanical. He will only be as smart as his processers allow. Only as strong as the motors in his body permit.
The pay off if you are curious is that he manages to beat a better machine because his human side makes a small but important contribution to his strength at a key moment, allowing him to win a contest he previously failed when only relying on his mechanical parts.
That sounds fuckin great man
Never paid attention to that when I was a kid. That's great!
@@sebastianhaney1425 Yeah, its pretty straight forward, but everything works and the dialogue supports that they are trying to do.

Wonder woman stops a bomb just to essentially cause a bomb herself
The whole point of the terrorist was to blow up the building. It was a suicide mission. So she accomplished a part of their mission for them. Snyder just doesn't think about the logic of his story, his characters, their motivations, the likely consequence of their actions. He's like the anti Chris Nolan in that regard who grounded his Batman in reality.

Alright Mauler, listen here. I enjoyed the Snyder cut when released and absent mindedly at that. You've made excellent points, objectively at that. I have no counterpoints and agree on most of your highlighting factors. Thank you for your efforts I hope these analyses make me a better writer and a better viewer of all content.
To be fair, I really don't think every film has to make 100% logical sense. Films have metaphors, allegories and themes that can't be fully expressed if it maintained exact continuity and logic. Especially in a fantasy sci-fi film like this, it's not meant to be taken literally. I'm sure there are sci-fi and fantasy films that take great lengths to maintain logic. continuity and realism in every instance, but I think it would be greatly limited by the amount of expression that could done by the artist.
@@TwistVisuals Who says metaphors, allegories and themes can't be fully expressed if it's maintained the exact continuity and logic? What is this mentality? You can and you should and every movie is made better for it.
Same, I can’t change how I felt when I saw the Snyder Cut and I also can’t ignore the really good points that mauler.
I loved the Snyder Cut and apart of me still does, I remember getting hyped seeing Barry break the space time continuum and save everyone and I remember cheering when Diana chopped off Stephenwolf’s head.
I know I won’t be able to enjoy this film the same way after this video and maybe that’s a good thing, I rather be open to things I never saw before and see things I originally loved in a new light. It helps me grow

Obviously not because the final vision matters the most apparently. You can write the most inane garbage, as long it's your vision, apparently it exempts you from being criticized.
Somehow it never occured to me before watching this review, but how exactly are we supposed to think that Darkseid is powerful/threatening? He got his ass kicked by Ares, who got his ass kicked later by Wonder woman, who is basically canonically weaker than superman. So the 'big bad' of the DCEU is weaker than some villian that the not-even-strongest of the good guy team has already beaten 1on1. And its not like Darkseid is a lex-luthor-type villian, who might be weak but a threat through intellect and planning. Nope, he is just a normal-ass villian who gets outperformed by several of our heros individually, let alone combined. Great villian, im on the edge of my seat -.-.
Snyder needed to get *his* DarkSeid into the film at any cost. He thought he was staking his claim to DC’s IP but in fact he just got himself fired.
@@summertyme5748 Still coping and seething I see. A year after you still haven't gotten senpai MauLer to notice you.
He didn't get his ass kicked by Ares, he literally got setup in a combo attack by three others god's and before that he manhandles a Green Lantern. That is how we know that Darkseid is a threat, he just flatout manhandles one of the most powerful forces in the known universe. Why is everyone lying about how Darkseid only gets his ass kicked by Ares? I mean, did we not see Artemis distract him with her arrows and shoot like three of them into his chest? Did we not see Zeus distracting him with his lightning, preventing him from properly countering Ares' axe? Also, are we going to ignore that Wonder Woman killed a still weakened Ares? Saying that Darkseid has already lost this because Wonder Woman killed a weakened version of the god that handed him his ass during his prime seems like major coping in an effort to stroke the ego of someone who is just objectively wrong about everything of substance he says.
@@voiceofreason467 He didn't get setup in a combo attack at all. He gets BTFO-ed the first time Ares hits him. The Darkseid I know would never have been hurt by a mere god.
@@Atheismo9760 Okay, so you're telling me Artemis hitting with her arrows, Zeus distracting him with his lightning to set him up for a lethal strike from Ares didn't happen. That this combo attack from three god's did not happen. You're just lying to yourself or lying to me to cope. That or you don't know that a combo attack can take place from multiple different people working together with singular powerful attacks. Either way, your objection is stupid.
Also, the Darkseid you know clearly doesn't exist because he gets into fights and gets hurt by other god's all the time. Also what is this mere god shit? You do know that Darkseid is a god, they just call themselves new as a designation of being born from the cataclysm that destroyed the old. There isn't anything really different about Darkseid from other gods. He needs prayer and faith to keep him in power, he lives in his own sphere of existence like the other god's, he can project an image of himself into other universes... he has all the characteristics that make him no different than any other deity in the DC multiverse.
Either way, the character you're talking about is Uxes, not Darkseid. He didn't take up the mantle yet and hasn't consolidated his power as of that point. So him getting KO'd like this makes total sense anyways. The fact that you didn't identify that in the first place indicates you know jack and shit and nothing about Darkseid.
Most people: I was pleasantly surprised
Mauler: rip and tear
People on the internet, "Snyder Cut is incredible".
Mauler, "And I took that personally".
Doesn't matter League is light years better than the usual crap they're putting out. - let him be mad.... the main thing is Snyder and fans pushed back v increasingly biased and one party system of entertainment.
It has logical inconsistencies, especially where Darkseid is concerned, and yet it was good to its characters and way better than the derailment we got years ago. The emotional elation this film represents drowns out most of its (very present) sloppiness.

"Guys, you have to understand. Snyder was the cringe all along!"
This about sums up the whole Snyder cut.
I hope you’re not implying Joss’ version was better. That movie was absolutely horrific. If you’re saying neither was good, fair enough… but man the Joss version was extremely hard to watch. It was so shallow.
@@BabyDoIIx They are almost equally bad.
@@BabyDoIIx Better? Here and there. Sure as hell not as the entire product. But Joss tried to salvage something from absolute garbage. He did the best he could - now granted still that wasn't much but at least he tried. Compare that to Snyder which had the time, the input from fans and the money and still managed to release an insult of a movie.
@@BabyDoIIxJoss’s version was better by the simple virtue of being shorter. I’m absolutely baffled that anyone got through Snyder’s version without fast-forwarding or falling asleep, because the plot is basically identical - but FOUR HOURS LONG.
@@MmmmiloAs someone who watched the Snyder Cut with other people that jumped in an hour and a half in, falling asleep is simply a prerequisite for the uninitiated regarding capeshit.
As for what I thought, it was certainly cooler, and I don’t absolutely hate the plot entirely (I guess I’m weird like that, but hey it’s not BvS!), however I have to agree with MauLer that the Josstice League got straight to the point while having Whedon’s own fluff to try and change the polarizing tone of the DCEU just three films in. The film can only be surgically altered for so long, however, and it’s an easy skip during a movie night, any night.
Oh boy! I can't wait for the Rebel Moon essay
No wait until the synder cut cause the amount of people who that be better is insane
Rebel Moon was so bad it's not even worth it.
The fact that Zack still has to come out to explain the plot hole despite having 4 fucking hours chance to tell the story is the very reason why he should not write.
Moreover, this explanation makes everything even worse. It's JK Rowling level of explanation.

Wonder Woman wouldn't not kill the bad guys! She'd kill the fuck out of them! Because killing people LOOKS SO *FUCKING* *_COOOOOOOOOOOL!!!1!one"_*

One weird note, London doesn't have "blocks". Blocks makes sense in American cities that were built in a grid, but London was built over hundreds upon thousands of years with a messy road layout as a result. You ask ANYONE who drives around london, and they'll tell you it's not nice easy "blocks"
Lies, everywhere in the west is exactly like America :^)
Eh, east coast of the USA is pretty messy, not very gridlike. Blocks is a general term which can be used anywhere
I guess they are trying to blow up the CITY of London the little area where the Queen and the banks are. Kinda like Tyler Durden in Fight Club....Cause that worked out great.
Does this actually matter in the grand scheme of the story? Because if not it doesn't affect the quality
Real question, what would be the british analog of a city block?
I find it odd that many are demanding that this movie be canon and that it replace the theatrical release, but don't seem to realize that this movie would break the continuity of the movies that came after Justice League, both in the movie's future and past.
Hey, no fair. You are thinking out loud, instead of *not thinking* out loud as Snyder cult followers are prone to do.
What even is the canon of dc supposed to be? I've seen every one I think is supposed to be canon except birds of prey and the second s squad and I have no fucking idea what's going on
How does this movie break Continuity?
The biggest one I can think of at the moment is the parts that have to do with Aquaman. Mera, in the Synder Cut, talks with a British accent, but an American one in Aquaman. It is revealed that the Atlantians have their own language underwater that come off in high pitch squeaks and shrieks. Yet, in Aquaman, they can speak normally in water as they do on land. I think they were trying to set up that Arthur couldn't communicate with the Atlantians because he never learned their ways, but it's torn down when they speak normally in the next film. It also mentions that King Orm was dealing with rebels against Atlantis, but in Aquaman, that doesn't begin until Orm starts "uniting" the other kingdoms of the sea. Just a few things I mentioned, but there is quite more within the movie that would have contradicted the other movies following Justice League, should WB decide to make this canon.
@@thefunnyhatter7390 the American Accent and British...well...uuuuhhhh....I give you that.
But the Atlantians speaking that high pitch squeak noise in ZSJL and they are speaking English in Aquaman isn't a big deal at all. In ZSJK, we are hearing them speaking like that from our perspective and in Aquaman man, we're hearing them talk in their perspective.
The King Orm dealing with rebels thing...I don't even know about that/noticed it.
The fact the boxes are box shaped probably saved them quite a few bucks in the effects
Blender's default cube is a powerful artifact indeed.
Yes, because items called “boxes” wouldn’t be shaped like some kind of box.
@@thefilmwatcher1302 Ironically in other media, the mother boxes are always rectangular shaped.
I like how Aquaman was mad at litter in the ocean in his own movie, then In his solo scene, immediately litters in the ocean!
I remember that scene from 2017 and the original trailer. I never got the image out of my mind of Aquaman littering the ocean with a whiskey bottle. Zack Snyder is an idiot. True then. True now.
@@summertyme5748 you understand Aquaman fucking hates Atlantis in JL right? Why would he give a damn about littering? So because he can breathe underwater he has an obligation to be an environmentalist? Tf lmao
Also, how does Aquaman get mad at litter in the Aquaman movie? That’s ORM, his crazy atlantean brother, not him.
Yeah but Zack Snider wasn't thinking about logic or continuity the only thing that matters in his head are the visuals
@@patrikmiles9342 Absolutely correct.
And he thinks too highly of his slo-mo visuals. They don’t work.

Yeah, watching this is even more proof for some random dude on the internet that he's right. Snyder is a visual genius, but for story telling? not so much. I still wonder to this day who tf saw watchmen and went "This 'super hero' movie directer is perfect for our superman!"
I really like Zack's DC movies, but the more I think about it, the worse it gets. Like when superman's dad telling Clark to not help him from the tornado for example, it looks really cool and gave me goosebump the first time I watched, but it gets really stupid when I think about it more.
@@superpnutbutter8608I though he was pretty solid visually as well, until I saw Army of the Dead (or at least, the 20 minutes I watched before I chucked my TV out of the window out of anger). That movie looks like complete dogshit.
Some people argue that the reason Cyborg’s auto defense system shot at Superman is because of the vision he saw of that Knightmare timeline where Superman is evil. But if that’s the case, how come it never activated at any other point when he was with Superman. Or hell, why did it not activate with Darkseid when he showed up
Exactly. So much obvious plot-hoops set up for the characters to jump thru. True story is: *We want to show Superman fighting the rest of the Justice League to reassure his fans that he is 1 million times more powerful than everyone else….so make an excuse to start a fight, and have him punk the rest of the JL.* That’s why.
Not just why did it not activate at some other point as well, but why did it activate for such a short period of time? Why wasn't Cryborg forced to fight Superman until he got destroyed?

This is in Mauler terms "it was better."
"Darkseid, who essentially is what marvel fans feared Thanos would be, and kind of what he would become in endgame" well done, Longman, that has to be one of your best quotes and I will use that when discussing this dumpster fire of a film with friends
He is completely wrong about Endgame though - he doesn't even get that Endgame Thanos is *not* the same Thanos and is not supposed to be because Endgame is not trying to be a sequel to Infinity War which is what he wanted it to be.
You need to understand Infinity War and Endgame this way:
-> Infinity War Thanos wins - and dies - since he believes in death - his death is his destiny and victory.
-> Endgame is the story of what the heroes do with their lives once they realize they've lost the one fight that mattered. *It's not more of the same Thanos - which is what Mauler specifically stated he wanted.* But that's not what the filmmakers wanted.
Endgame is a better film than Infinity War and it has deeper themes by far. This is even more clear now that MCU has spent 3 years floundering with no direction (MOM, Eternals and NWH are all disasters)- not unlike the heroes who lost in Infinity War.
It's like they are all playing Fortnite with Newbmaster 69, in order to forget the pain. (Bro Thor was brilliant - even if he went over the heads of some 'fans'), because if they were honest with themselves they would admit that they are out of ideas and begin openly weeping. lol
MCU doesn't know what to do next. That's clear.

Literally give flash the box. Tell him to run away whenever steppenwolf shows up. It'd be a neverending game of tag that steppenwolf could never win lol also Flash solos steppenwolf but of course he has to be fucking useless in this movie
Thank you. I’ve noted this before on this forum while some Snyder fan tried to pretend they didn’t understand.
Fact is all the heroes are overpowered compared to SteppenWolf.
Wonder Woman could have put her sword between his eyes at any time, or used her God killing move on him. [heck based on how she killed Ares she might even be able to deflect ‘the Unity’ back at the bad guys.] In the comics she has deflected DarkSeid zig zag beam. Lol.
Cyborg controls all the Nukes and could certainly destroy SteppenWolf’s base - since Batman does it with one missile and nothing but basic satellite intel, which isn’t in the same league with Cyborg’s walking Skynet.
And then, there was Superman. All the heroes are overpowered. Not fun to anyone other than little boys playing with dolls.

@That’s one smug wojak Well it doesn't make you smart.

It doesn't make you a bad person hey you might be really intelligent in other subjects like Mechanics, economics, engineering, playing bongos to Metallica songs etc etc but when it comes to movies or writing you aren't well versed. Hey I can't play musical instruments or know anything about structural engineering, Doctor Who or anime and I don't claim to or explain who the best Doctor is or best Anime series is as I'm ignorant of those things which is ok.

As much as I appriciate to see Snyder's vision for the Justice League, I agree that Zack Snyder is not a great storyteller. When you compared Joss' and Zack's versions, it made me appriciate Joss adding some substance to the characters. Even though its not a great film.
Omg a comment with nuance! 🙌 Refreshing 💜
Joss made them comical cliches of their former selves.
@@theunknowncommenter725better than zack snyder version of the characters.
lol there formers selves where mass murders so i prefer the joss's cliche versions over zack's edge lord characters
Yeah I'm surprised so many people saying Zack's movie is still better. At least Joss' acted like heroes better and had better characters even tho the movie is still bad. Joss cut out a lot of bad stuff and added some good moments like Flash saving people instead of being useless for several minutes. Flash in better media often does crowd control because he's THE FLASH and can save people quickly while the rest of the Justice League fight the bad guys.
So glad I found this video.
I liked Whedon's Justice League when it came out, not because of anything particularly great about it but simply because we were getting the Justice League on the big screen, finally. Then I heard about the controversies behind the scenes and saw the promo material for Zack Snyder's Justice League and figured this film would be better.
And I genuinely believed it was.
I was never a fan of dark Superman. And I was always curious how a revived Superman would explain Clark Kent's revival and how they would forgive Superman post-Knightmare once Darkseid was likely beaten and the world saved.
I never liked how willing Superman and Batman were to kill. Wonder Woman and Aquaman, I get killing people. They were raised as warriors. Superman and Batman aim to save as many lives as possible.
I needed this criticism. Neither cut of the film does the characters justice and Darkseid perhaps suffered the worst nerf in history. Snyder's vision was too limited, dedicating a trilogy to purely fighting Darkseid and evil Superman, never mind an expanded DC universe. I have faith James Gunn and Peter Safran will rectify these mistakes and give us the DC adaptation we deserve and one that honours the source material.
But Batman and Superman don't kill. And I respect your opinion but I don't agree or understand it

@@generalgrievous9831 Elaborate on projection. I'm not up to Darkseid lore, but i don't remember him using projections. If he's down to fight - he usually does it manually, and he's one of the strongest combatants in DC universe. Unless this is before he got his overpowered beams?
And Mauler's point seems to have been that Darkseid - the most dangerous individual in DC universe - spends his first 5 minutes on screen getting his ass kicked. Even if this is a weaker version of him from the past - that does undermine his Big Bad status, so he's not a very impressive threat.
I absolutely adore that you're still using the Luke drinking green milk "What the fuck??" as a running video meme :)
I miss the Dark Souls 2 fart noise. :S
@@harry426 One like, equals one prayer... for Dragonrider.
*fart noise as Dragonrider falls to death once again*
Is one of the few memes that makes sense of this film.
It’s a classic meme, one of the few good things Roundhead actually gave us with TLJ.
@@sauro8299
Dragonrider: being the most relatable Dark Souls boss via his tendency to get rekt by gravity since 2014.
Crazy how Joss' line about families works better for Snyder's Steppenwolf than Snyder's. He is exiled because his familial relationships are built on cruelty so of course he wouldn't understand why people use their families as an attempt to appeal to mercy. Snyder's line comes off as both overly edgy and hypocritical.
Bruh wat?
Yeah...WHAT? 😂
This almost makes it sound like Joss was actually a competent director/producer/whatever that was just given a dumpster fire to try and salvage with no way to extinguish the fire
Almost? ;)
This movie was so long that i forgot Zeus separated the Mother-boxes with lightning by the time Diana said you cant do that.
Lol. She could do that, and she can kill SteppenWolf just like she killed Ares.
So did Zack.
When did she say that?
@@aishaarshadalam3412 did you even watch the video? Its clipped and MauLer provides the minute mark in this video..
@@nickthemage2052 I'm not all the way through yet
Darkseid: A man I knew used to say that the mother boxes are like your car keys: easy to lose, but if you dig around, it's usually close by.
Coming straight at you from the Isaac Asimov school of losing a goddamn planet.
Vikings went to the New World and completely forgot about it. It’s not entirely comparable, but I’d just like to share.
@@kylevernon There are medieval era raiders forgetting a continent, then there is a super advanced alien with a high tech army forgetting the location of a planet. I know it's not meant to be exactly comparable, but cmon.
@@rev0568 What is space but a vast endless ocean of darkness. If there’s any place to forget, its there. Also if your entire army got slaughtered too. Take one look at their ships, you see plumes of smoke. Smoke?!?!? Meaning they’re burning fossil fuels, which means that this advanced alien race isn’t necessarily that advanced, it’s just that they’re extremely brutal.
Take any SuperMan story ever. Krypton colonized worlds, thousands of them. But for some reason they never explain why they gave up those colonies. Krypton was destroyed because they harvested its resources too much. I can easily point out that it’s nonsensical to continue to excavate your home plane to when you can literally terraform other planets and harvest their resources instead.
Tbh, I think the dumber thing is why Zeus didn’t hide the world like he did with Diana’s island.
Try remembering a planet from a million over multiverse
Darkseid: Anti-Life has been found, Desaad. And we shall stop at _nothing_ to possess it.
Desaad: Very good, my Lord. Shall I prepare your armies and battle armor?
Darkseid: No, later. Single Female Lawyer is on in ten minutes.

Very similar to his reaction to TLOU2. Before he played it, he said he wasn't gonna make a video.
Then he played it. As soon as he finished he said he was starting work on a video about it XD

Everyone hates on Jesse eisenberg's perform. I disagree
He absolutely nailed the riddler
No, no....he’s still playing Mark Zuckerberg....on cocaine!
@@summertyme5748 Maybe he's playing an lobotomized love child of our interpretations. Who knows at this point honestly
I remember seeing the trailer for the first time in 2016, and earnestly thought he was playing Mr Mxyzptlk. The thought that this impish thing was Lex simply didn't occur to me.
At least he knows what movie he’s in. The other actors seem to be mistaken
But Riddler is intelligent though
I still don't get how they got away with that shit - being praised for saving the Justice League. It is still an incredible bad movie - only longer and slightly better CGI. I think it went like this: They all cried for the release of the Snyder Cut so when it came out and it was a dumpster fire they could not go back and call it out for what it was.
"I thought you were good at causing pain?"
*Zooms into Amber heard*

_Perfection._

Mauler took two hours to explain thoroughly how different and more cohesive the Joss cut of the movie is from Snyder's cut. Snyder took four hours to have Wonder Woman walk through a cave and have Steppenwolf have Skype calls throughout the film.
"That theme that plays when she's about to commit a war crime"
*Then I died*
I just heard it, Fucking cracked!
So did all those people...
That got me GOOD
Yeah she even let a war criminal that made gas weapons go free. Wonder Woman should be in the movie Judgement at Nuremberg.

I lost it "why is amnesia an epidemic in this universe"
Also, no one can drive apparently.
Yeah, what is this? A cheap soap opera? Then again, the death rate is about the same.
Because the some of the same people worked at Game of Thrones and the "kinda forgot" meme was created by the same corporate structure? They got infected by the amnesia-s8-virus perhaps?
why is the idea darksied loosing a planet that before that was nothing but grain of sand in a dessert during the middle of a war such and baffling idea to accept? like space is huge an constantly changing shape cause thing do not stay in one particular point in the map.

Jeremy Irons was pretty cool is a surprisingly common line in crappy movies.
Jeremy Irons evidently needs a better agent.
@@matthewmuir8884 His career is baffling. He's done so few movies and so many are arthouse movies, fancy Oscar bait movies, or quirky movies that you'd assume he's really selective. Then he occasionally does these terrible ones like Justice League, DND, and Eragon. Eragon and DND look so cheap you wonder how they could have possibly offered enough money for that to be an excuse. Unless he's where the entire budget went.
@@thecornerkid402he was in a biopic called “The Man who knew infinity” and it was a good film, and a good role, but not a widely known film by any means.
But I do agree that he has had a strange career. If I remember correctly, he was in the Lion King, but I could be wrong,
@@viddykhaos2896 he was. He voiced Scar and it’s one of the best voice over performances ever in my opinion.
I saw Man Who Knew Infinity and you’re right. Great movie and great performances. Dev Patel held his own.
Imagine having the backing of an entire studio, provided immense amounts of time and resources only to shit out a film that’s worse than the theatrical version that was hobbled by studio meddling.
If you think the theatrical is better then you're opinions on any movies are invalid
@@weplayatnight3913 …….I love you
@@weplayatnight3913 It factually is. No Darkseid forgetting a planet. No consequence free time travel that destroys stakes. More consistency with the other films. No Martha Manhunter. Better characterization for most of the characters. Attempts to fix the issues. No bloat. It's not good but its better and at least funny bad. Not a miserable sludge fountain.
@@Dragonzord571 Yeah, the second the movie explained that Darkseid forgot where Earth is, all investment was gone. How can you take a villain serious when they forget stuff. How can you take a villain serious when the writing is constantly being nerfed to help the heroes. Like Joss-tice League is shit, this is DOGSHIT.
@@Dragonzord571 funny how you say the Snyder cut is “factually worse” than Whedon’s, but then rattle off a bunch of completely subjective talking points that have absolutely no relevance to the quality of either film. The fact that there is no Martian Manhunter in one does not make it better than the other. What the even is this take? It’s literally just an assertion. There is no actual reason to think this. The idea was to have a Nick Fury type character who is the mastermind behind an important organization, and who appears in different films over the years. What exactly is the problem with this? The MCU and even Joss Whedon did this exact thing that Snyder planned on doing with Martian Manhunter.
Literally all of what you’ve said is just special pleading. You WANT to believe that the the Snyder Cut is bad, so you drum up all this braindead criticism and even compare it it to the whedon cut, even though that is CLEARLY the worse of the two. Whedon’s justice league is an undercooked, campy, weightless, endlessly boring slapdash crapfest with zero stakes or worldbuilding, NO tonal connection to ANY of the previous movies, a generic and unconvincing villain, and zero respect for the artistic vision of the original director. Context for key characters, narrative buildup to help audiences get invested, and any sense of tension or heroism or love for the characters - it’s all dragged to whedon’s altar and sacrificed for his signature quippy jokes, atrocious dialogue, and anticlimactic battles, and the end result is a complete overhaul of everything the DCEU had built up to. It’s a 2hr comedy sketch parody of ITSELF that fails to deliver in any and every department. Pretending like it is even remotely better than the Snyder cut is just insulting. I cannot believe how much copium is being huffed in this comment section.
