I really wish WB Studios had received a swift kick in the pants and been told to break this up. It would have made for a fun experience to drive week-over-week discussions.

And knowing that trailer from the previous week was the intro credits, shame on WB for not supporting Snyder's vision for an HBO Max show release. He had everything lined up to support this.

 

I personally did/do not want a series. It was intended to be a film, and that's how I prefer to digest it.

TBH I would've been pretty pissed had they released it over 4 weeks, too.

I think it would have been fun to spread it out. Plus, more time to reflect on all the details shown week-over-week.

But no matter what, we are getting Zack Snyder's Justice League. That's the most important accomplishment.

Looks like they're gonna have actual title cards.

🤦‍♂️

I guess once it's out on blu-ray I'll do a fan edit and remove that

I don't mind the title cards, the whole thing feels like something different to what we normally get from a film like this. And it's just adding to the hype!

If it had released over 4 episodes I would of been just as excited about it although I reckon the first hour would of flown by so quick that I would of changed my mind and wanted it all immediately

DARKSEID: "I Will come for my great prize!"  

Justice League Trailer Reveals Darkseid Voice

Quote

Speaking in a previous interview, Ray Porter described the lengthy work that went into creating the voice of this version of Darkseid from Snyder's Justice League:

 

"I went through a few different vocal gymnastics trying to figure out the voice. I will admit I didn’t know the character incredibly well right up to the point of being cast," Porter told LightCast Podcast. "It was never something I was incredibly aware of…so I didn’t know all of the canon. Fortunately, I happened to be on a set with people like Zack and Chris [Terrio]…I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who understands all of the weird concatenations of that canon better than those people. So there was always that steady information."

I agree. I don 't mind breaking it up into two parts. But seriously, we have a pretty decent idea what happens, we know the bad guy (even if he is really a proxy for an even badder bad guy), we know the basic premise, we know he loses. What's the point of stretching it out too long? Snyder is there to fix some of the problems, add some more context, etc. Flash and Cyborg, for example, got virtually no character development. neither did aquaman, but i think i saw aquaman before eventually seeing JL on tv, so I was ok, but for folks who saw JL in the movies they had 3 brand new characters just dumped on them. marvel did avengers and virtually every character had already been introduced in prior movies, although Hawkeye and Black Widow were more cameos in those other movies. and yes, sometimes a character dump happens and it works out ok. x-men 1 was fine. of course, if I wasn't a fan of the x-men already, it might have been bewildering. my born in 1924 father liked it, but you also had some "mature" actors in lead roles he could identify with.

He's stated a number of time recently all Zack has to do is telling him there is a film he wants him in and Fisher will be there trusting in his director.

That's very telling.

maybe whedon felt enormous pressure taking over this $300 million project and it brought out his inner a-whole that he had been been suppressing since the 90s? seems like the main complaints about him have been at the bookends of his career. although my friend in the business says he had this reputation all along. i can't say i haven't found his projects entertaining, although I have 6 episodes left in SHIELD and they have kind of jumped the shark. I'm still watching to see what outfits and hair styles Daisy has on next.

From all that has come out over the weeks that's the most factual thing right there!

He got away with it for a very long time because he made the studios money. So they tolerated his behavior.

Lame, but whatever. Tarantino gets away with it because his films are episodic by design. That’s why Hateful 8 was perfect as four parts on Netflix when the extended version premiered.

Does anyone know if the virtual premiere on 13/08 is meant to include any critics/reviewers? I haven't seen if there is any kind of review embargo on the film prior to the 18th.

I'm not fussed for reading too much before I see it for myself but it'll be interesting to see what the general reactions are like when it doesn't come from any of the existing fan base.

It is both, and unfortunately WB Studios invited more than a few folks that in the past have bashed Zack Snyder productions.

I'm counting on when the embargo lifts on 3/15 their pre-written reviews even before their screening will be released. It's in their DNA.
