Zack Snyder’s Justice League: 27 WTF Moments

7. The Terrible "Kal-El, No!" Line Was Kept In

Zack Snyder's Justice League Wonder Woman

Though the Snyder Cut removes almost every awful thing from the theatrical release, there is one much-hated moment which sadly stayed in, presumably because it was actually shot and approved by Snyder in the first place.

When the League resurrects Superman and he promptly freaks out at Heroes Park, Wonder Woman's cringe-worthy line, "Kal-El, no!" has unfortunately remained.

Even if you can forgive the fact that she calls him Kal-El rather than Clark, the line reading itself is distractingly wooden, and considering its sure status as a meme probably should've been cut from this version.

At least the scene as a whole is effortlessly superior, what with Henry Cavill's janky CGI face erased entirely, and an added action beat where Superman blows up a military convoy (though, crucially, doesn't kill anyone).
