Zack Snyder’s Justice League: 27 WTF Moments

20. The Ridiculous Aquaman Drinking Scene

Zack Snyder's Justice League Wonder Woman
Warner Bros.

The Snyder Cut features a number of extended, slow-motion musical sequences, perhaps the most unnecessary and bizarre of which occurs just before Aquaman visits Atlantis.

When he exits the bar of the fishing village, we're "treated" to a strangely protracted scene in which Arthur chugs booze and walks by the shore, set to the classic Nick Cave and the Seeds track, "There Is a Kingdom."

On one hand it's mildly amusing, but on the other it's peak indulgence, and almost feels like Snyder is desperately racing to pad the film's runtime out to those four promised hours.
