The train is certainly on the tracks. Drama on the Snyder front started from the reaction to Man of Steel and things rapidly escalated from there. The studio got cold feet on BvS and SSquad and that's where things started to unravel and ultimately got worse. Other than that and Affleck's rehab and personal problems, Wonder Woman was a smash hit where Jenkins has begun working on the sequel and James Wann's Aquaman had a smooth production. Shazam! is next to start filming after the Snyder-era so the train is rolling. We are just heading into the post Snyder/JL phase under a new DC Films banner they announced not too long ago. I'm still iffy on WB and I'm losing faith in them but that is counteracted by the loads of talent they represent with Jenkins, Wann and Reeves honing down some important DC films going forward.
He left on his own accord, and it sounds like he used his daughters death as an excuse.
Wow, you sure are living up to your name, RWFart. WB pushed Zack out, no question. Zack was on the hot-seat after BvS where the studio was close to firing him, but they followed through anyway. Even before BvS released, Zack always intended for JL to be lighter in tone and Chris Terrio confirmed such things when talking about how MoS-JL was one saga and how the middle film is always the darkest and how he wanted to redeem that notion by lightening up JL, so that was always the plan with Zack onboard. WB once again panicked and once tragedy struck, they used Zack's daughter as fodder to let him take a 2 week absence. WB basically Jeff Scott Soto'ed Snyder during this time, bringing in Whedon to humor the absolute fuck out of his cut and Marvel-ize the film to make it more audience friendly. Zack saw the writing on the wall and stepped down. His posts on Vero can connect the dots with what he was liking along with his son. Whedon reshot most of the film and added in mind-numbing and insulting dialogue that did nothing but hurt the films importance as one saga. When you try to Marvelize a Snyder film, the end result is embarassing and WB has egg on their face because of it.
Trying to blame Wheldon for this shitshow after the critical disasters to this point is like blaming your backup QB you brought in for the last 2 minutes of the game and not being able to overcome a 24 point deficit. But everyone needs a fall guy I guess.
Bahahaha! You're so out of tune with what really went on I almost want every DC Film to be divisive enough so you can come in here and make yourself look even more like a fool. The fall guy? WHEDON?! You're high. When Whedon was brought on, everybody had Whedon's nutsack in their mouth and went on about how he was the savior and how his vision was going to finally land with the critics. Even top bloggers and critics within' the industry predicted WAY beforehand that if JL were to fail, it would be pinned on Snyder's shoulders. If JL were to be a hit with the critics? Guess who would get the messiah credit? JOSS WHEDON. Zack Snyder has been the fall guy for awhile now regarding many things that took place during WB's band of misfits behind the scenes. Whedon was always going to be looked at as the saving grace. All he did was write some comical dialogue, reshoot unnecessary scenes proving his inferior nature as a director, took his ball and went home. He did some really good things but the majority of the stuff that stuck out like a sore thumb, things that people are complaining about, is 110% Joss Whedon.
Let's just move on and start talking about how awesome and epic Aquaman is going to be.
All of a sudden, you sure do have a lot to say. The cat got your tongue once Wonder Woman was slaying left and right when her film was in theaters. If WB gets out of Wann's way, I expect Aquaman to be one badass movie from top to bottom and give DC their identity by adjusting back to making craftable solo features. I also expect your post count to plummet givin' how if Aquaman does well, you'll be MIA from this thread, locking yourself in the closet on your Kindle Fire binge watching DC movies as yet another Marvel film escaped your mind from how forgettable they are givin' the tumbleweeds in that thread as we speak.
Because for the most part Marvel makes overrated, vanilla and forgettable comedies while WB is currently batting .200 in their band of behind the scenes retarded misfits.
Fixed.
