Why the Snyder Cut is a bad thing:

This is not a rant about the quality of the product, but to talk about the bullying campaign by Hack Snydurr fans and Snyder himself stoking the flames of harassment towards moviegores, critics, DC, and WB.

Of course they will paint this as a crusade by followers of a director who was wronged by a greedy Studio. In reality, this story is of an egomaniac director, who lacks an understanding of the projects he had undertaken. His premise was literally a deconstruction of superman and the DC Universe, rather than making a Superman movie that laid the foundation of a cinematic DC UNIVERSE.
With that said, Snyder is one for wasting money by making 3 hour, 4 hour movies, when the studio wants a 90-minute to 2 hour film. By not properly understanding the characters and being more interested in making them dark and edgy, for the sake of being Dark and Edgy; mistakes were made.

Warner is no saint in this story either. In their greed to fast tracl movies for dat Avengers money, they kept Snyder on until MARTHA!! Backfired on them and they had a Giant Martha hole on the S.S. JLA movie. Snyder wanted to keep ramming the ship into the iceberg, while WB wanted to reach the nearest port for repairs. Luckily for WB, tragedy struck the Snyders and they replaced him with Joss Whedon, who was more than willing to incorporate the demands by the studio, while delivering a product on time, despite having to reshoot about half the movie. Whedon tried to salvage as much as he could, while appeasing Warner bros.

Now Snyder is going to blow $30 million more on a movie that might be EVEN WORSE than Whedon's frankenJustice League. This is not a Fix Sonic's design, because ths6 current one looks awful kind of deal. This is a "Waaaah! Ruin Johnson didn't do the Star Wars movie I wanted, change it!" Kind of thing. Now that WB has caved, what's next? The Undoing Last Jedi, or do they take it all the way to Episode VII and Kathkeen Kennedy's head on a pike?
Undo Dark Fate? Rambo V? Final Fantasy VII Remake? The Last of Us 2? Scrub Queefer Sutherland out of MGSV? A Team Jacob Ending for Breaking Dawn? Erasing Noelle Stevenson's pop cultural appropriation of She-Ra? Where does it end?
