Did Warner Bros just dash our hopes for #RestoretheSnyderverse?
Maybe, but time will tell
Over the weekend, HBOMax finally released Zack Snyder’s completed vision for Justice League. It was not only good, but, like, really, really, really good. Shockingly good. On the entertainment side of Twitter, it was pretty much the only thing people were talking about.
The DC haters, who seem intent on pushing some narrative about how DC is a toxic fandom, or the pseudo-intellectuals who generally just thumb their noses at super hero spectacles, were pretty much drowned out by the fanfare of folks cheering at the success of #releasethesnydercut.
Vindication tastes so sweet.
The movie, (which, if you haven’t seen it yet, you should because it’s amazing. At least if you like superhero movies) is being lauded by many as being better than Avenger’s Endgame. YouTube did what YouTube does and exploded with reviews, recaps, breakdowns, and analyses. Many people were so excited by groundwork that is laid in the movie that a top trending hashtag on Twitter became #RestoretheSnyderverse.
The dust barely settled on the Snydercut hysteria before DC decided to announce Monday morning that they had no plans to restore the Snyderverse.
