Justice League Snyder Cut: 10 Reasons It Could Be A TERRIBLE Idea

3. It's An Admission Of Failure

Directors, writers and actors will often open up after the fact and admit that a movie they worked on wasn't great, but very rarely do you see a studio making such a high-profile admission of failure.

After the backlash that greeted Justice League never went away, Warner Bros. finally relented with the announcement that the Snyder Cut was becoming a reality, which also doubled as the studio throwing their hands up to say that they really messed up the first time around.

Justice League was built as - and on paper had the potential to be - the DCEU's equivalent of The Avengers, but despite assembling a star-studded cast and stumping up more than $300m to make it happen, while also going through two directors and multiple writers along the way, it turned out to be a huge bust.

Nine out of ten studios would be jumping for joy if they had a blockbuster earn $657m at the box office, but Justice League didn't earn Warner Bros. a single dime, and the theatrical version's long-lasting legacy was ironically the rise of the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
