You may be forgiven to suppose, since it has four hours of duration, features tons of much new expensive images to make them a viable film, and it seems specificallyIt was designed to say goodbye to the broader ambitions of DC Films superhero franchises: this Justice League by Zack Snyder could be the director’s final word on this particular set of deeply desaturated characters. But you will also be forgiven for assuming that the previous thought was complete and totally naive idiocy, because, hey: Did you meet this guy from Zack Snyder? If you believe that he will stop driving your very specific, very violent and very gray version of the box office superhero until it is well finished, you have lost your mind Motherboxing.
So a lot of revelations out there IGNToday’s Fan Fest 2021 event, including news that Justice League by Zack Snyder, despite certainly being as definitive a statement in the Justice League as any man could hope to do, it will still end what Snyder called a “Huge cliff.” That, though Snyder sap that DC has strayed from its efforts to Avengers it is personal superhero movie franchise, and that a verse by Snyder Justice League 2 it will almost never happen. But hey, someone paid for all this Darkseid CGI, so they could use it too, right?
Speaking of CGI: Snyder also showed an animated clip “Motherbox” that serves to promote the film, in what he could better to be baptized as a spiritual sense. What means featuring melodramatic and slow pans on heavy metal images of Justice League members, while a Tom Waits song runs out of dust in the background. It is, like so much of the material surrounding it Justice League by Zack Snyder–Jesus Joker, the special version “Justice Is Gray” is on its way for people too overwhelmed by the desaturated version of the new cut, the pure Leonard Cohen-ness of all this—Brillant, in his total immunity to parody. How he mocks the anguished religious iconography of Aquaman’s tentacle monsters while playing a lamentable folk folk? What aspect could you increase to get a comic effect? He is the critical equivalent of the rope-a-dope, who exhausts all the mockery with the flagrance of his invitation to mock.
In fact, “exhausting” (with a side order of “exhaustive”) is the general atmosphere of this whole project and this last press boost on his behalf, from the speculation about who promised that great “cameo hero” that Snyder would end up in the film (Martian Manhunter is easy money, although people with very short memories await the Green Lantern Corps), a the director’s repeated statement today (folding about previous feelings) that Ray Fisher’s Cyborg is the heart of the film, and equipment. The last it comes even when Fisher and Warner Media have been involved yet another round of mutual attacks on each other today, with Fisher continuing to claim that Walter Hamada of DC Films interfered in investigations into alleged misconduct on the set of the film version of Joss Whedon, and Warner’s office re-advertising a statement from one of the researchers in question, defending the character and conduct of Hamada. Snyder’s defense of his star is admirable, but it also points to the strange point that this whole Snyder Cut project has been, with director actively performing the work of an actor who is now essentially at open war with the studio that produces the film, for uncertain and uncertain benefits or benefits.
Justice League by Zack Snyder releases on March 18th. Have a rest.
