Justice League: Does the Snyder Cut Superman Work?

Ойын-сауық

In his first two DCEU films, Zack Snyder established an unmistakable Jesus allegory with his version of Superman. But did his epic director's cut of Justice League ultimately deliver?

    Zack Snyder his justice League 2 would have superman being the evil...probably under control by Darkseid! And in Justice League 3 Zack Snyder would have done the complete U-turn with superman and have him become the saviour of planet earth. So basically in 2 movies Zack would have to make superman bad and turn him back into the saviour. You can 't really compare superman to Christ because there was never evil in Christ.

    I think superman’s rebirth isn’t in justice league it would’ve been in justice league 3 where he would tear his cloth to reveal the S

    I dive into this subject much deeper in my first video on Superman than I did in this Snyder Cut follow up. I'm curious what you think about that one! kzread.info/dash/bejne/n61nyZZ-n5uro8Y.html

    Zacks original idea was to have Superman get cucked on by Batman just like how Nightwing found out how Bruce impregnated Barbara just when he was trying to renew their relationship. Now apparantly The supposed plan is to have evil superman(how fucking original) with Snyder's reason being he wanted to take Superman from one extreme to the other, to break his morality and I guess make Superman a more interesting character by giving him this character arch? But what character arc? In the leaked plot, evil Superman was going to disappear when Flash runs back to alter the time line. Superman was going to have no memories of evil Superman. Superman was never going to meet evil Superman. That's not a character arc. Superman learns nothing. It's like having a nightmare were you're a bad guy and waking up with no memory of that dream you had. Not only does it not matter because it's not reality (it's a dream), but it doesn't even effect your view of yourself or the world because you don't remember it, you don't confront it. The Knightmare timeline would be fine as an elseworld story, but in a Justice League trilogy it baffles me that it was a plot point. Why waste so much screen time for a plot that gets erased without a trace? Maybe Snyder would have fixed it so Superman remembers, but who knows. Also, this isn't Superman being evil, he was just brainwashed against his will and saved through presumably no effort of his own. No lessons learned and no aspects of his character fleshed out, no agency. Just a complete waste of time Following all this garbage we would have had an ending where Clark and Lois do have a child to themselves but apparantly this child for some reason has no powers and will be named Bruce simply because Batman makes the ultimate sacrifice (again how original) and he will grow up to become the next batman. They name their child after the same person who tried to kill clark and who zack wanted to cuck clark with and they want their child to go down the exact same road of insanity as this person. Not only that but this completely undermines the entire plot points of man of steel. That through the codex, the kryptonian race would continue through clark, so the child they have not only should have powers but be based off the real current child of superman and lois, Jon Kent. Otherwise this whole bull of being the bridge between two worlds was hollow plot device that had no real value or weight. To hell with Bruce Kent. If Zack wishes to continue his vision, he needs to seriously reevaluate how he is handling some of these characters and ideas he is planning, Superman especially. Otherwise id largely prefer a full on reboot with better handling of the characters and less focus favoritism for batman.

    If it's any consultation, that was just a first draft and Snyder confirmed that the baby in the Snyder cut is Clark's.

    In his defense, a lot of those ideas were scrapped and wouldn’t be in JL2 if it got made
