You can argue the merits of either JL cut all you want, but Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon are both sexist filmmakers. Their sexism just manifests itself differently.
Whedon did the stereotypically sexist close-up shots of Diana’s butt and had Barry fall with his face in her cleavage. His filmmaking style utilized women as objects.
But Snyder’s the one who put the Amazons in glorified bikinis and looked at the “5 men:1 woman” ratio and thought “Yup!! Gender equality achieved!” as though there aren’t like fifty other female superheroes who could’ve been added to the team like in the comics. His filmmaking style tokenized female representation in an already-male dominated genre.
Both versions cater to the male gaze, just in different ways.

Un ex dirigente del DCEU ha appena chiarito quanto siano stati redditizi i film di Zack Snyder per la Warner Bros.
Snyder ha iniziato il DCEU con Man of Steel, con Henry Cavill, nel 2013. Il film ha incassato 668 milioni di dollari in tutto il mondo, un miglioramento di 277 milioni di dollari rispetto a Superman Returns del 2006.

The sheer number of people who actively dislike (even hate) Zack Snyder, who stayed up to watch Rebel Moon (an explicitly Zack Snyder film) just to complain about it, is so weird to me.
Like, this isn't a first-time director. If you know you don't like his movies, why are you carving out over two hours to watch it.
It's just baffling to me that it's almost 2024, and people still hate-watch things.

Zack Snyder has an unparalleled vision and attention to detail that brings every scene to life. His ability to create epic, emotionally charged moments is why he's one of the best in the business 📽️

Unrelated to the main purpose of my blog, but if you’ll permit an excursion on this mini-crusade for a brief moment….can I just say that I really, REALLY don’t understand the fiery animosity that Rebel Moon is stoking across the internet?
I mean, yeah…heartbreakingly, Rebel Moon is not great. To say that I was not disappointed would be a lie. At the same time, it’s certainly nothing terrible. It never bored me, and it doesn’t commit any new sins…all of the story and structural problems in Rebel Moon are also present in Dune Part 1 and MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1 (especially Dune). But those apparently get a free pass. It’s no more generic & ripped off than any of Disney’s 2023 slate, or Percy Jackson and the JK Rowling Lawsuit, or any of the endless Oscar-bait biopics that get cranked off the printing press every December. The action was fun and the subtle backstory breadcrumbs the characters left behind were at least interesting enough to make me give Part 2 a chance, which is more than can be said for any recent Star Wars project. It’s all perfectly “fine.” So why is everyone on YouTube and Reddit and Letterboxd acting like the sci-fi genre just experienced the Second Coming of L. Ron Hubbard? What’s so offensive here?
Ever since the Snyder Cut came out, it really seems like there’s been a concentrated online push to delegitimize Zack Snyder as a filmmaker and paint his fans as psychopathic idiots, and it all feels so needlessly aggressive. I can’t help but think that the bile toward Rebel Moon has festered at least partly from factors outside the movie itself.
Overall, it’s a decent enough table-setting episode, and if the meal to come with Part 2 in April is worth it, then that’s fine with me. This is only half the story; treat it as such.
It’s like…sheesh, calm down, people. You have Wishes and Aquaman 2s that you could be crucifying.
Also apparently in the extended director’s cut, Jimmy the Hopkins bot goes on a spiritual journey and starts living out in the woods like a feral homeless guy killing animals and shit, and FUCK YES I want to see that story.

Watching the Snyder cut of Justice League.
My expectations are 0 so there’s no room for disappointment
