Report: Zack Snyder was fired from Justice League

For the longest time, Warner Bros. and Snyder were both pushing the narrative that he had stepped down from the project to be with his family after his daughter's death by suicide. Turns out that probably wasn't the case.

It was obvious from the minute Justice League hit theaters that much of Snyder’s story and visuals had been scrubbed from the movie during the reshoot process, and the news that Snyder was fired in early 2017 just confirms that the intent all along was a rejection of his vision, not an effort to complete it.
It has since been revealed that the movie’s release date should have been delayed, but it wasn’t in order to protect some executive bonuses, so it can only be assumed that the attempt to pretend for a number of months that Snyder was still the director, then continue to spread the narrative that his vision was still being pursued afterward, was likely an attempt to maintain an appearance of stability for similar financial concerns.
quote:
Warner Bros. reportedly expected Justice League to fail for months before release, so the decision to have Whedon change Snyder’s movie as drastically as he did was the studio going “all in” to erase what they saw as the harmful effects of Snyder’s take on the world and it’s characters, using the movie instead as an attempt to pivot characters like Superman into a lighter and more hopeful version of the Man of Steel. Based on reviews, the movie was at least successful in that aspect, with many critics rating Justice League a very flawed movie, yet labeling it as a step in the right direction for the franchise.

All of that is very believable, and plain to see looking back at it. That movie must of been just horrible without the redirection of it. Still wasn't a great movie, but it definitely helps knowing this going into future DC universe movies.

if BvS had come out before they started shooting i don't think he would have ever worked on the film.

At this point, it’s abundantly clear that reports that both Zack and Debbie Snyder’s involvement in future DC movies will be basically nonexistent are true.
Can we sticky this quote as a thread subject at the top of the M/TV board so people can quit bitching about Zack Snyder?

I didn't think Justice League was all that bad.

Assumed this as soon as they brought in Whedon to do "Batgirl."

Anyone who thought any different was in denial tbh.

Look I'm no fan of Snyder at all as a director, but the guy is human. Using his daughter's suicide in a gotcha piece while taking digs at him is pretty fricking brutal IMHO

Even without the story this seemed like the best explanation for what we saw on screen.
I was able to enjoy JL. Some of that was my expectations being low. The other part (after B vs S and TLJ) was probably me just being grateful the creative people liked the characters they centered their film around.
If the got a new Lex I could almost look forward to the next movie.

That’s how bad things became with dc.
“This is a really bad movie but you improved some, so good job on that.”

People still give a shite? He's gone, fricking move on and get the bitch fest up and running for Infinity War.

It's about time, it's 8-nothing.

Who would have ever thought the Iron Man and Capt. America franchises would be more valuable/popular than Batman and Superman?
They have been for over a decade and I still can’t believe it
