Zack Snyder is again in disbelief in the work, even if it's just an unfinished work.
Superman is dead, bury him. Twenty years of Gotham show you how much commitment is worth. This DCEU has no Kryptonians, no green light, and no hope.
do you know? I will no longer support this DCEU that was ruined by the stupid Warner decision-makers, I don't care at all, all I care about is Zach Snyder's enthusiasm and hard work, and they are now trampled under the feet of Warner as garbage, All the enthusiasm, all the hard work Zack Snyder put into the DCEU was thrown away by Warners. I would have liked to express my criticism subtly, even if I no longer cared about the future direction of the universe. It's as if the girlfriend you love ends up being the one you don't love anymore, but you don't want to blame too much. But I really can't help it. It's all fucking bullshit. In the more than a year of Zhenglian's promotion, do you, Warner, treat DCEU fans as human beings? Are there still few things about slaps in the face?
You can say that what I love may only exist in my imagination after all, but I revisited MOS and BVS again, and even WW clearly felt that kind of surviving breath.
I don't care at all about those who say that I write soft articles, blow BVS, and mad Zaslin. I'm just Jaslin. You don't like it. Get out of here.
I'm just an audience, all I need to consider is whether I like a work or not, it doesn't matter, anyway, I know that the filmmakers won't care about my likes and dislikes alone, and Warners may think that the feelings of all DCEU fans together are harmless, then I don't care either.
It's better to take the part blown below as fart, I believe that many people don't care about this kind of thing at all. Skip right after the spoiler divider.
Or maybe this article from Midworld can express the feelings of many people who love DCEU better than what I wrote.
'Justice League': A Movie That Disappeared
Fans are flocking to theaters for another DCEU movie, called Justice League Trailer. It is better than everything in reality, full of possibilities that have never been realized.
-------------------------------------------------- --11.18 Modify the dividing line-------------------------------------------- ------------
"Justice League" is undoubtedly the finale of this year's superhero movies. In 2013, with Zack Snyder launching the first shot of the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) with a breathtaking Man of Steel, the debate about the DCEU has never stopped.
As a big fan of the DCEU and Zack Snyder, since last April's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" came out, I've seen firsthand how DCEU fans are fighting for their beloved works and eliminating many passers-by's Misunderstandings and groundless accusations - DCEU fans are no longer just a piece of sand hiding in blogs. This is a very interesting phenomenon, fans are like the works they love, they are finally united to fight misunderstanding and injustice, and "Justice League" is supposed to be the carnival they won, but also for everyone. An invitation to enjoy the ecstasy of victory, bathed in the monument of Superman.
Shift in style
I know that many people don't like the previous "Man of Steel" and "Batman v Superman: Justice League", but "Justice League", which should have been the final chapter of the DCEU's trilogy, has made an overall style significant change. In fact, for a diehard Zadeo fan like me, this is actually the least Zack Snyder work, and this is largely due to the former Women's Federation director Joss Whedon and Warner's decision-makers. put one's oar in.
The new "Justice League" is lively, crisp and humorous , with strong chemistry between members , exciting battle scenes , bright pictures , and easter eggs that ca n't help but scream . It can be said that these features of Justice League are the opposite of almost all the criticism of its predecessors (but whether this decision is wise or not, we will talk about it later). Aside from the many features of the previous DCEU, Zhenglian is obviously more simple, straightforward, straightforward, and pleasant, and it is undoubtedly a suitable family-friendly work .
No personal movies? unnecessary
Let's talk about characters. I know a lot of people really think that you can't build characters without a personal film, but if you think about it, you'll see that this argument doesn't hold up at all. A simple rebuttal - friend, have you seen the X-Men series ?
Aside from the always-acclaimed Ben Bat and Wonder Woman, their performances are as good as ever, and the new additions are generally very entertaining. The Flash played by Sister E is undoubtedly one of the cutest and most interesting Flash in history ! The Flash, who ran away, fell off the chain at a critical moment, and didn't even dare to participate in the battle, undoubtedly showed another interesting image besides the professional gag character like Deadpool. Aquaman is a walking hormone! Under the arrangement of Zha Dao's action scenes, he is no longer that Suckman! Cyborg's performance is also great, but perhaps due to space reasons, the background explanation and interaction with other members are slightly less. In addition, the appearance of Superman is indeed an exciting little climax of the film, but I am afraid ... it will be different from what many people imagine . Overall, these actors are absolutely brilliant, and that has to be thanks to Zack Snyder's excellent casting vision .
It's not perfect, but it's still exciting
Is the clip messed up? It's a problem, but it doesn't cause much trouble during a tense first pass. Trailer clips cut? Yes, but mostly insignificant. The villain is too weak? Steppenwolf is indeed not strong enough, and as a vanguard of the Apocalypse invasion force (in fact, an exile), it is not strong enough I think it is generally understandable. Flat story? Yes, but it provides enough excitement that you don't have time to think about them, like a two-hour roller coaster ride, where the audience's freshness is the most important thing .
it's just not his work
But today, I also have to admit that this "Justice League" is no longer very different from Marvel's work. Personally, it's still good-looking, even better than "Women's Federation" in an exciting way . But the unprecedented energy Zack Snyder injected into the DCEU, the realism, rigor, drama, and enthusiasm that no other film series can match, has taken its edge .
It's important to point out that this isn't strictly Zack Snyder's work - I don't even think it's his work. There are obvious traces of reshoots and modifications, and the traces of Joss Whedon's intervention are extremely obvious to us, and have even distorted Zha Dao's original intention to a large extent .
This is the end of an era that belongs to Zack Snyder.
But this is, after all, the beginning of a new era for the DCEU.
------------------------------ The following may contain spoilers --------------- ---------------------
This is not a spoiler, this is my true feeling.
After watching the screening at 21:00 on the 16th, I was so excited that I was shaking. Standing alone in the cold wind, I was suddenly overwhelmed. I don't seem to know this movie series anymore. My favorite DCEU, which I blew into the sky before, has suddenly become no DCEU at all.
I, and so many people who love DCEU, why do they love it? Why did so many people walk into the movie theater wearing ZACK SNYDER sweaters on the same day? We love Zack Snyder because he pours his enthusiasm into his works with unmatched enthusiasm by other ordinary commercial film directors, and because he has shaped the DCEU, a comic film universe, so real and full, everyone has their own character arc, everyone has their own possibilities. We love Zack Snyder because he doesn't care about groundless accusations, insists on making movies for himself, and never compromises.
Did any of the above show up in this Justice League episode?
No, because it is no longer the work of Zha Dao. It is like Zha Dao's biological child, who was ruthlessly seized and changed beyond recognition.
This was supposed to be a carnival for DCEU fans, but in the end, it wasn't.
It's funny, November 17th is the 25th anniversary of the comic "The Death of Superman", and in that year, DC's eagerness for quick success eventually led to the rejection of this work. And a year after the rational death of the DCEU's superhuman, he ushered in his social death.
Seriously, is this still the flesh-and-blood Superman from the DCEU?
Just two weeks ago, when I was still at Warner, I told a few friends that I like Warner because of their willingness to fight against the times and make good works even if they lose money. Last year's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", this year's "King Arthur", "Blade Runner 2049" all showed this spirit. But in the end, what kind of "Justice League" did Warner show us?
shit .
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Justice League is shit, it's Joss Whedon's superfluous extravagance, Daniel Elfman's mediocre soundtrack, and an inexplicable amount of intervention from Warner's top brass.
This should have belonged to Zack Snyder's monument, after so many years of being misunderstood, it is the biggest possibility of dispelling misunderstandings. This time, however, Warner compromised, and they directly ruled out what they believed to be the source of the problem.
What has changed is not Zach, but Warner.
Do you really remember your original intention? What is the message that the DCEU has been sending to the outside world since its inception? Why is this series still able to give people hope?
I don't say exciting to fool people, it is exciting. But if you calm down and think about it, you will only feel a deep sense of sadness and powerlessness.
In fact, under Zach's VERO comment, a large number of fans have long said that WB's interference in Zhenglian is unreasonable, and they hope to see the director's cut version of Zach's personal appearance. Fans in China have also launched a petition on Twitter to oppose such practices by Warner.
Yes, I also want to see Zha Dao himself, but let him go. He has used all his efforts to become a real superman, but this era does not deserve him. They don't understand, don't want to understand, and even speak ill of each other.
They don't deserve you.
They don't deserve you.
The era that belongs to Zha Dao has ended, it just ended a little earlier, but the trilogy did not end well. I'm sorry to see that Warner finally chose to completely abandon the feelings of DCEU fans, and chose to completely embrace capital in a vulgar way. But we are not Warner's major shareholders after all, and we really can't force Warner to shoot works that don't make money.
It's just a pity.
Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice aren't going away , and the more Warners compromises, the more I like them . Zack Snyder's career is still long, too. It's just that such a DCEU has no value for me to love.
So that's it.
IF YOU SEEK FOR HIS MONUMENT
PLEASE LOOK AROUND YOU.
Good works never disappear with the wind, they will always be there waiting to be discovered.
