me, knowing there's no "cut" that will save justice league from being bad, and thinking about how i wanted a justice league movie since i was a little kid

still dunno how they made a justice league movie where the big bad is frigging steppenwolf and not darkseid

thinking about how much time they wasted in this movie with superman being dead and weird when its the mothereffing justice league movie

this movie and superman vs batman being just the biggest wasted opportunity for some of the greatest characters, ever.

and when i think about the toxic fandom who thinks this dark edgelord mindset captures the dc characters in any way shape or form and how they lecture those of us who were buying issues *before they were even born*

but hey, new frontier exists, and its better than those two movies and captures the actual characters. both in print and film.

"you've got 80 years of material here, with the success of avengers there's a proven multi-billion dollar audience for this content if you take care to make good--"

dc/snyder: *throws random weird shit on screen*

"i'm not the biggest death of superman fan but there's a way to make this material work, in fact there are two pretty good animated movies that use this in an entertain--"

snyder: *vomits up weirdo cgi doomsday*

"theres a clear template for batman over multiple directors, movies and actors, surely you can't screw that--"

snyder: *puts batman in a bomber jacket*

"the flash! super hero purity, its such a simple story and you can set up crisis, flashpo--"

snyder: "what if it was the flash but he looks like pieces of irregular tin glued together?"

"well they can't screw up parademons!"

2 hours later:

i mean look at the flash in his multiple incarnations here. how...

nobody wanted a good jl movie more than me. nobody! i can even argue the merits of man of steel, lest you think im a kneejerk hater. but god damn.

as others have suggested, and i co-sign, this is actually the best justice league movie:
