  • The saga of the Justice League continues, with news breaking that a large number of the social accounts demanding #ReleaseTheSnyderCut turned out to be bots. But when you get past all the corporate politics, we still have two movies to compare. One made by Zack Snyder, and one by Joss Whedon. Everyone agrees that Whedon's version is the lesser work--but why? We have dissected ONE SCENE that shows why one movie works, and the other is a failure.

    #JusticeLeague #SceneFights
    It’s time for us to talk about the Justice Leagues. For years now we’ve been making these VS videos where we compare two similar movies, and point out one scene that expresses why one is way better than the other-usually a Marvel VS DC movie. I’ve spent a lot of time criticizing Zack Snyder’s choices for the DCEU-but I also made this really flattering portrait of his influences as an artist, check that out if you want.
    But as much as I disagreed with Snyder’s take on Superman, his vision of the Justice League is far, far, better than what the studio slapped together in 2017. Now the behind the scenes problems with that movie are well documented and being litigated in some court somewhere, so I’m not going to rehash every detail of the production.
    I do think that I can point to one scene, just one scene that shows why one movie was this [clip]. And the other was this [clip]
    Here’s the brief TL;DR on the Justice League’s production. Warner Brothers hired Zack Snyder to oversee the new DC extended Universe, a counterpoint to the MCU. The studio wanted to match the dark tone of the Nolan Batman films, so Snyder was an ideal choice.
    His first two movies in the series, Man of Steel and Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice had their very vocal supporters, but the movies also had problems [Martha].
    Fans like me hated these new takes on the heroes, and the studio decided they wanted the Justice League movie to be fun and zippy, like the Marvel movies. The problem is, this is 2016, Snyder had already shot his Justice League movie, and was in post.
    But then, he suffered a terrible family tragedy and stepped away. So the studio brought in the guy who set the tone for MCU team ups, Joss Whedon, to Marvel-ize the movie for them. Whedon was apparently an ass on set, he claims the cast were asses to him, Henry Cavill wouldn't shave his mustache-you know the whole thing.
    I’m retelling all this because the way Whedon was hired greatly affected the end product: the 2017 Justice League. If he would have had full creative control for the start, I'm sure Justice League would have been a good movie. But, instead we got this weird hybrid of a movie, where there’s no artistic vision, no soul, and events only occur because they have to m so we can finish the movie.
    As different as these two versions are, I think you can distill their differences into 3 categories: One, how they move the story along. Two, the tone of the movie, that’s the overall look and feel. And three, most important of all: how they introduce the characters and build the lore of these heroes. That last point is key.
    So the one scene that defined these differences, that shows us why one movie is this [clip] and the other is [this].
    That scene is the introduction of Aquaman.
    Both scenes occur near the beginning of the movie, so first let’s go over how Snyder and Whedon chose to open their stories.
    The Whedon version opens with this baffling cell phone cam of Superman, which right away showcases Henry Cavill's fat mustache lip. The scene is pointless, does nothing, and only accentuates the movie’s flaws. [clip, hope is a river, winds-]. People don’t talk that way. Congrats, you write dialogue worse than martha.
    The next scene is another reshoot-not a surprise, since some reports say 75% of the movie was reshoots, though that seems a little high. This scene is Batman apprehending a crook in Gotham. It looks fake and cheesy. But in any other movie I would be fine with that. A fun, zippy comic book story that’s obviously filmed on set with the Denny Elfman score [clip]. Any other day, sign me up. But here, it’s misplaced and silly.
    The big problem with this scene is that it’s unnecessary. He kills the parademon, and the encounter is supposed to motivate him to recruit more heroes. But all of the groundwork was laid down in Batman VS Superman. Lex tells him about an invasion [can;t unring a bell] And then he tells Diana he’s off to look for more people.

    I was dubious the Snyder Cut would save the movie, but it really does highlight what the theatrical release was missing, particularly the motivation of the villain. Steppenwolf became a much more well-rounded character, with his own fears and goals, and his level of power was much more apparent.

      @@andrewshandle true and not true. The OP is correct but Nolan and WB brought Snyder on to make a Man of Steel movie with the possibility of a Superman trilogy. WB was the one who later during post production unofficially made Snyder a “Fiege” type for the whole universe and wanted the Trinity in Supermans 2nd movie and a Justice League movie as the 3rd big movie. Snyder’s compromise was him making a 5 film arc centered around Superman but adding other characters BECAUSE of Supermans influence. Snyder never wanted to captain the whole DCEU ship. Just his 5 film arc where other directors could take those characters and make it their own solo adventures. Which could have worked IMO.

    Whedon said that he was hired to "fix" Justice League. The studio denied this, but they gave him money and they allowed Whedon to pull back actors to shoot new scenes. Thus, the studio lied.
    Also (13:40), I have never understood how everybody can understand that WB ordered a change in the Nolan/Goyer/Snyder plan, after MoS, to a rush job to JL, and that for this reason, Whedon can be forgiven for the 2-hour JL mess. But Snyder, who was forced to skip an MoS 2 (Nolan refused and walked) and originally placed on a hastened path to JL, is lambasted. The crowded BvS (3 movies in 1) was the result of trying to set up WB's ordered 2-hour JL ("4 movies in 1"). But as we can all see with Synder's 4-hour JL, Snyder absolutely understood that these characters needed space to breath before such a thing. Snyder did what he could with what WB wanted, just like Whedon did. But it goes back to the irrational hate of "not my Superman."
    MoS to BvS [Ultimate Cut] to ZSJL. I think Snyder pulled it off, despite WB's irrational panic and habit for butchering theatrical cuts.

    The one thing the phone scene with Superman and the kids off the top got right was showing Superman talking to the public in a friendly way. Aquaman is happy to be thought of almost like a God and have people sing songs and sniff his sweater. Superman should be different, no one should be sniffing his cape. In the Snyder version Superman doesn't even talk to the other Justice Leaguers after they save his life or to apologize for almost killing them. He inspires Batman but in a different movie. He brings everyone together to save him but doesn't inspire them with his actions only with his power.

And also if you’re making the story as good as it could be, fully flushed out, this isn’t gonna translate to high 4K Blu-ray sales. And also just hiring people that work well with Marvel isn’t gonna make your movies more like marvel when Warner Bros themselves doesn’t want to commit to making good movies, they just want that marvel money in the end.

    Snyder cut actually impressed me with how many scenes if just dedicates to saving human lives. Like so many.
    The heroes are violent but they're violence helps save and protect others. They aren't reckless or thoughtless, they lose control of situations but ultimately they wanna save as many people as they can.
    My fave scene is the Flash stopping falling rocks from killing people. It made being a good person cool again.
    Its kind of like how most modern movies paint cops as evil power abusing monsters. But in real life, cops are out there saving lives everyday. Movies that paint cops as human but ultimately good is never done, the only example I know is Hot Fuzz, where they manage to arrest the entire cast of bad guys and its framed as being awesome. It's just two cops doing their job, I want more of that.
    Superheroes should be all about saving lives and using violence only as a tool to protect others.
    The wonder woman opening shows this perfectly. She kills those men, because she's a warrior, she's good at violence, but its never violence for violence sake, she was protecting innocents. Violence and justice.
    Zach Snyder is a great film maker, but he has a style. The MCU is really good pop music and the Snyderverse was like ambient death metal lol both are art but both are not for everyone.

It would have worked had there been a keen understanding that the MCU utilized then B & C level characters that weren’t a big draw/sell. Marvel could take the risk and Warner wouldn’t with its big three. As stated, Snyder understood the assignment as a grand epic to cement the foundation that MoS, BvS and WW were built upon… and yet the execs hobbled themselves and the DCEU’s momentum to a halt.
    The amount of characters, plot and development that was left in tatters on the cutting room floor vindicates all who were silenced along with Ray Fisher. That drama overshadowed the gem the project could’ve been.

    I feel like you started to touch on what is frankly THE problem with both versions of Justice League and it started with Batman Vs Superman. WarnerBrothers needed BvS to be 2-3 movies because it had to be Batman 1, Superman 2, and introduce Wonder Woman. You don't into 2 of out of 3 members of the DC Holy Trinity in one movie. BvS was already a crowded over stuffed mess of a movie and then they WB wanted a followup that like you said needed to be 4 movies in 1. Imagine Marvel starting with Captain America, following it up with Captain America: Civil War (which is nothing but a fight with Cap, Iron Man, and Thor for some reason before they team up to fight a half baked knock off Doctor Doom), then doing Avengers where they bring in Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow. There would be no MCU. The DCEU is what happens when you're so busy training for a marathon that you forget you barely know how to walk.

    Probably will get hate for saying this but I think Whedon’s cut did a few things better:
    - Changing Darkseid to Steppenwolf in the flashback sequence. Him failing to conquer Earth before gives a better justification for Steppenwolf’s banishment than a vague reference to him participating in a coup attempt (which why would Darkseid spare anyone who tried to overthrow him?). It also avoids the stupid idea that Darkseid “forgot” Earth
    - Coversation between Bruce and Arthur in the village specifically, Bruce’s added line at Arthur’s lone wolf tendencies and dropping the women’s song/sniffing Arthur’s clothes
    - Keeping the mid and post credits scenes to a minimum instead of drawing things out for almost 20 minutes including bringing back Leto’s Joker who I honestly still despise
    - Dropping Martian Manhunter. Love the character but am really not a fan of Snyder’s writing of him/his role in the film.
    Other than that, yeah. I wasn’t blown away by Snyder’s cut (I’m at best ambivalent about his films in general) but it was much better than Whedon’s

    • @andrewshandle
      @andrewshandle Рік тому +8

      I think the Wheddon did two other things wll. 1) Making Superman an _actual_ hero. No need to beat that issue to death here because Snyder fans will never agree with non-Snyder fans on his depiction of Supes, but clearly Snyder doesn't really "get" altruism very well. Leaving the big bad fight to save civilians was important. And 2) the "just save one" speech Batfleck gives to creepy guy Flash is outstanding and Snyder should have left that in the Snyder Cut.
      Oh, and I guess 3) eliminated 30+ minutes of slow-mos and really long, drawn out secondary shots. We don't need a slow-mo of Lois getting coffee or see a close up of the terrorist Wonder Woman is fighting changing his gun from single fire to full auto.

      In all honesty, I don't think Darkseid was supposed to be a part of that flashback battle, and just replaced Steppenwolf's involvement in that battle because people were complaining about Darkseid not being in the theatrical cut of justice league. Darkseid's involvement just makes a huge plot hole that people are trying to ignore and Zack Snyder didn't properly fix. It also just diminished Darkseid's credibility as a multiversal threat. I also think that Superman was just overall better as a hero and a person in the theatrical cut of justice league.

      @@StareachValcin I agree. Way too many people claim that the 4 hour cut was his original vision when clearly that wasn't the case, Darkseid was definitely swapped in for the flashback based on fan reaction. What's silly is with the added scenes where Stephenwolf speaks to him, Darkseid easily could have been the Thanos to SW's Loki, where we only catch a small glimpse of who he is.

    I agree with everything you said. A superhero ensemble movie without their proper origin stories would be pointless. Avengers had to introduce none of the new character in The Avengers. While the Iron Man, Thor, Cap, Hulk had solo outings. Black widow appeared in Iron Man 2, while Clint had a brief stint in Thor 1. Justice League(2017) was really a blemish. They should never have done that, They should've instead released Snyder Cut in 2 parts. That would've made the movie so much better!

    I heard, or think i saw somewhere, where someone talked about the the full development of superman where he was supposed to fall and become dark (edit: I THINK it was Snyder's leaked full story line). It was the whole apocolyps storyline where superman was supposed to understand what it was to become a hero and understand the consequences of his great power and all. So ... just like OG Star Wars we discover that the story wasn't really about luke but was vadar's redemption ark, so too with justice an all it was supposed to be Superman's 'redemption' or growth into a true hero. I dunno how authentic that take on the full story line is, but if it IS true would that change your mind on the Snyder take of Superman?

Twas when the problems became ridiculous between the studio and Snyder. The movie was made and he wasn’t backing down. We probably would’ve gotten a 3 hour and 20 minute movie but no way we would’ve gotten 2 hours like Whedon bent over to provide. And I still don’t understand why you don’t like Snyder’s take on Superman. The Boy Scout version is going to make its way back and I’m certain it will be terrible and universally hated because it won’t fit into the atmosphere of this genre today

    Zack Snyder was doing wonders for the DCEU as he really adhered to the source material's tone. Then Warner Bros conspired to make DC more like Marvel, and they've continued to ruin DC films ever since. They did the same thing with Tim Burton's Batman films. It's honestly incredible considering how dark and gritty the Dark Knight trilogy is, but man, Warner can't seem to make up their minds about what should be dark and what shouldn't.
