Jesus Christ are people actually saying I should watch the Snyder Cut?
I would like to be wrong. There really is no film I would rather watch than a decent Justice League. But my idea of what is decent does not involve them saying fuck and snapping people's necks.
Fuck it, I'm clearly going to give it a go. I can tell I've already decided and am merely pretending otherwise to myself.
Ok so we did this. It's improved I guess, but the positive reviews completely baffle me.
I wish I felt otherwise. It makes me happy that comic nerds can create enough noise that they secure a big money project they're passionate about. And they clearly grew up reading the same books as me. But it just seems such a travesty.
Who are these people? Batman is a gun-toting team-builder. What the fuck? That's wrong in every way there is to be wrong about him. Aquaman is basically a frat boy. Superman seems almost sadistic in his power. Only Wonder Woman feels remotely like herself.
The word that keeps playing in my head is: badass. I never really liked that word. But it seems to define every aspect of this. Everything happens because it's badass.
But there is really no understanding of the characters. It's incomprehensible to me how anyone could bring themselves to care about these people.
It feels like a terribly long, terribly boring, vacuous, dark and gritty CGI slugfest. I do hope that's an end to it now. There's something fundamentally quite horrible about it all that I would like to see go away.
You've basically gone from this to this. 
And from this to this.
And I'm sure it feels terribly grown up. I'm sure it's very badass indeed. But it just comes across as deeply childish.
