Fans of Zack Snyder successfully orchestrated a campaign to get Warner Bros. attention and convince the studio to release the cropped version of director Zack Snyder Justice League—That it became the most expensive and marginally improved Justice League by Zack Snyder—Trying once and for all that if a fan base is strong enough and attractive enough, they can make any ridiculous dream come true (as long as their dream coincides with a movie studio that has a feeling of overwhelming despair at the amount of content available in its new transmission). platform). The point is: they did. It worked. They tweeted enough hashtags, gotten responses from people, and made so much noise that Warner Bros. decided it really made sense to throw millions and millions of dollars at closing them (but in a nice way).

Not surprisingly, people who like to see incredibly large gorillas jumping into the empty core of the Earth and respectable actors who say lines like “Godzilla hurts people and we don’t know why” would love to see month of these things, and they think getting #ContinueTheMonsterverse to tend to social media will grab the attention of WB and Legendary.
And would you see it? He did. Today, Legendary has tweeted a simple observation of the trending topic, confirming that, yes, he is aware that people would like more of these monster movies. Nothing new has been announced, but at least that seems like a good sign for more groundbreaking fun and a happily absurd mythology. After all, these movies haven’t even featured Godzilla’s terrible son, Minilla, and now that the Mechagodzilla card has been played, there’s no reason why Legendary and WB can’t make Jet. Jaguar.
