Just about every scene with women in 2017's #JusticeLeague undermines a woman's power, strength, and agency.

#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague fixes that.

Changes to Wonder Woman's opening scene in 2017 diminished her power and strength as a demigod. Image
Imagine thinking you needed to change THIS. Image
The Whedon cut actually ADDED a scene w/ Wonder Woman getting knocked upside the head. No man ever comes close to touching her in the #SnyderCut Image
The subtle dialogue change of between WW saying she's "a believer" vs "believe it" alters the meaning of that scene entirely. Image
Steppenwolf's a giant creep in 2017's Justice League and seems obsessed w/ conquering the Amazons. Image
The #SnyderCut's resident sad boi Steppenwolf?

That guy just wants to please his corporate overlords and prove himself worthy. He's just there for a box. Image
I'm still just baffled by why this Whedon reshoot was needed at all. Image
There are so many crimes against Lois Lane in the 2017 film.

First, she's been stripped of her duties as an investigative reporter and put on puff-piece duty.

Something she claims to be "perfectly happy" with. Image
Diane Lane doesn't buy that. Image
A colleague then tries to guilt trip and pressure her into giving up one of her sources.

Can you feel Lois smiling through this pain? ImageImageImage
Lois Lane is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.

Why are we insulting her intelligence by having some of her first words to the love of her life, Superman, when he returns from the dead be about his scent?

She would be able to conjure better words. Image
Whedon's cut doesn't acknowledge that Wonder Woman is smart enough to disarm Bruce Wayne's security system. With a simple line, the #SnyderCut fixes that. Image
The Whedon cut altered this Wonder Woman line, too, and opted for some glam shot of Diana. Image
The Flash awkwardly falls onto Wonder Woman's breasts in the original film. The #SnyderCut doesn't bother with this nonsense. Image
Let's not forget the 2017 film added scenes w/ Wonder Woman's butt front and center in the frame. Image
I wish we were done, but we're not.
Wonder Woman's lasso is used against her as a gag for Aquaman to call her gorgeous. ImageImageImageImage
You're telling me Diana — who is ~5,000 yrs old and is a museum curator — would let something as important as an Amazon relic just LYING around instead of having that strapped to her side moments before battle...
Whedon's cut grounds Wonder Woman on the sidelines for most of the final battle.

The #SnyderCut hints she can fly. ImageImage
Wonder Woman is denied her right to finish off the villain in the theatrical cut. Image
There are a few more moments I didn't list here.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

My thoughts on tonight's ep of #TheWalkingDead, which can prob be likened to TWD's "Fly" episode.

bit.ly/TWD1021Review
On the surface, "Diverged" is a bit of a slog and a completely unnecessary bottle episode.

It can be painful to watch at points unless you are extremely invested in these two characters. ImageImage
Perhaps the most frustrating parts of Sunday's episode are that the stakes aren't high even in moments of tension. Daryl struggles to fight off a walker at one point, but we know he's never in any real danger if he's getting his own spinoff series in 2023. Image
