I like the different chapters. Watched 1 and 2. Its a shit ton better than the OG, at least I know what the fuck is going on now.
Spoiler Just watched it. Fucking masterpiece! So much better than what Whedon did to it. Really enjoyed the extended backstories and expanded scenes. A few Notes... The biggest thing that upset me was no new green lantern. What the heck? Loved that the Alanteans and Amazon's built temples for their boxes. Man just fucking buried it in the ground! Steppenwolf looks a ton better. With the backstories and extended scenes everything makes sense...well alot more sense. Was glad to see the Martian Manhunt Loved Supes black suit. The scenes with the chernobyl family were removed. No opening Batman scene baiting a parademon. No superman video on the phone. Alot of the funny stuff was removed like the Flash zooming around the batcave and sitting in the batmobile and alit of quips. No Superman vs Flash race. I was trying to figure out what else was. Most of the original was there just expanded on. Who is the humanoid dude with Darkseid? Is he a Krypton? The ending fight scene not to mention the first fight scene of the justice league vs Steppenwolf were alot better. The Anti Life equation is apparently on Earth and set ups a sequel as Darkseid is coming for it the old fashioned way. Steppenwolves eyes turning blue? They didn't in the earlier fights right? So the Joker scene...there are alternate realties...a multiverse where different outcomes most seemingly bad (Darkseid winning and turning Supes) have occurred. A bit confusing. The key is saving Lois in the past because her breathing or not is the deciding factor in whether Supes is good or bad. Joker killed Robin, Batman killed Harley Quinn, and Deadshot is cool with Batman now. Did Cyborgs dad have to die? Couldn't he have hit the button outside of the box to superheat the mother box? How does Steppenwolf not know Earth is the lost world that Darkseid failed to take? The mother boxes are there. He is familiar with the Amazon's, Alanteans etc, but doesn't know earth is the planet Darkseid failed to take back in the day? Steppenwolf and Co. are afraid of Kryptons and Lanterns. We know Lanterns are spread out across the universe as guardians. Are Kryptons too? Did others escape Krypton like Kal-el? Are they protecting other planets too? Was there a Krypton back when Darkseid first tried to take Earth? Sequel?
"There are no protectors here. No Lanterns. No Kyrptonian. This world will fall like all the others."
The horse didn't lay on her it fell on her, but yeah I hear you. My wife was like why doesn't she just lift the horse off of her? They aren't all as strong and durable as wonder woman. Only she has "the ancient blood". Steppenwolf goaded her on saying she was far stronger than them and could have saved them... The other Amazons are still baddass (they'd kick our asses) but human none the less. A one ton animal falling on them will kill them.
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/zack-snyder-reveals-plans-supermans-184434400.html Synder's plan was to have Superman's kid be the next Batman. Superman and Lois's son, Bruce Kent would have inherited the Dark Knights cape. He would not inherit his father's powers, since he never experienced the heavier Krypton gravity. On the twentieth anniversary of Batmans death, Superman and Lois would have brought him to the batcave and basically said, "It's your's, Bruce Wayne would be proud to have you take over as Batman." Bruce Wayne would have died in JL 2 or 3 saving Lois. There was also a proposed Bruce Wayne/Lois Lane romance for JL1 that would have led to Bruce having misgivings with bringing supes back..
Apparently, Lois's baby (she is shown to be prego in the Snyder cut) is Bruce's and not Superman's. Uh oh. That's gonna be a hell of a Jerry Springer episode. He was to find out when Flash comes back in time to warn him. It's your baby...you have to save Lois. That is why "Lois is the key".
Green Lantern(John Stewart) was supposed to be the cameo at the end instead of the Martian Manhunter. Synder said it was already filmed. I wonder who he cast?
So far I'm 90 minutes in and it's actually quite good. Doesn't feel like it's dragging on much. Still want the JJ cut of ROS, damnit.
