Zack Snyder's Justice League/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


These things about Zack Snyder's Justice League are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • And You Thought It Would Fail: The people at WB and Snyder skeptics hoped that the Snyder Cut would fail, but is one of the most streamed films on HBO Max.
  • Author's Saving Throw: The film as a whole is a major improvement on Joss Whedon's version.
    • Tom Holkenborg's music was restored and is much more memorable than Danny Elfman's score.
    • Every team member is given equal screen time, making them more active.
    • Steppenwolf's defeat is much more satisfying given that he doesn't stop when his axe was broken.
    • The designs of Steppenwolf and the Parademons are more close to Snyder's vision.
    • The pacing is more natural.
    • It responded to criticisms to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice by having some levity.
    • The casual sexism towards Wonder Woman was replaced by empowering moments featuring her.
  • Broken Base: Which cut is better: The Snyder Cut or the Whedon Cut?
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Darkseid for his brooding manner and deep voice.
  • Friendly Fandoms:
    • The film's fanbase got along with fans of Joker because they are both dark DC films with a lot of creative input.
    • Fans of The Sweatbox documentary like this film because it also shows the original vision of the respective films. Kingdom of the Sun being the earlier.
  • He Really Can Act:
    • Ray Fisher did a great job playing Cyborg.
    • Ben Affleck showed more effort as Batman.
  • Memetic Bystander: The Parademon that tried to kill the Flash is nicknamed "Gary" and "The Employee of the Month".
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "Ready the armada. We will use the old ways."
    • "Be very careful with the next thing you say."
  • Most Wonderful Sound: Some may not agree with this but Wonder Woman’s leitmotif is amazing to listen to.
  • One-Scene Wonder: The Joker in the Knightmare scene was an effective scene-stealer.
  • Only the Creator Does It Right: Many agree that Zack Snyder's version is better.
  • Padding: Some believe that the Snyder Cut is a little too long.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap:
    • Jared Leto's Joker in this film is better received than Suicide Squad.
    • Steppenwolf isn’t a bland villain this time around and his design is more memorable.
    • Lex Luthor acts more like his comic book self instead of a geek.
  • Signature Scene: The Flash using Time Travel to prevent Steppenwolf from destroying the Russian city was great.
  • Surprisingly Improved Sequel: The film got a better reception than the previous two Snyderverse films.
  • Unconventional Learning Experience: Non-film fans have learned about executive changes and troubled productions thanks to the Snyder Cut.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Most if not all of the visual effects are amazing to look at.
  • What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: More so than the Whedon Cut. There are a few F-bombs, a darker tone and bloodier violence, which justifies the R rating.
  • Win Back the Crowd: The release of the Snyder Cut has made more people enjoy the DC Extended Universe.
