Cilogy, you care because, apparently, you are a DC fan? Look, it's already pretty late (or early in the morning, why am I awake?) here, and I can't go point-by-point on mobile... but a lot of your points are a rehash of a singular theme: 'I hate Zack Snyder's style of filmmaking', a lot of it is your inner thoughs on the first three DCU movies (2/3 for Snyder there as well) and only the last paragraph or so is actually commenting on my first one, which is purely factual and not at all pessimistic. To answer the most glaring omission: How do you fire a guy who brings you 872 mil. on the table (5O%, whatever, minus merchandise and VOD/DVD/Blu), who basically gave you the very idea of creating a universe... after he's already started production of his next movie? BvS was released in March, JL started shooting in April. How do you stop a 150+ mil. production? I understand your feelings were hurt or whatever but doom and gloom scenario wasn't in everybody's minds after MoS...BvS... or even SS. Yes, I fucking hate SS but there are many who don't, otherwise it wouldn't have the second best sh legs this year (again, a fact).
Look, DC fans really want this thing to eventually shine, some of us are already more than happy with some aspects of the universe, it'll eventually get 'there' (wherever the fuck that is), but you can't call for a multi-billion dollar machine to stop and call THAT sane, you just can't. And especially if you're a fan. I have a headstart since it's two out of three for me, I'd probably jump your pessimistic bandwagon if it were three misses as well, but at least look at what's clearly happening behind the scenes post BvS' theatrical release (maybe even watch UC since it's what Snyder actually cut first - maybe judge that) and stop rehashing Hollywood doom and gloom scenarios that we already know backwards. The tonal changes, the jokes, the bts changes... it's all nothing until you sit your ass and see the whole structure of a movie for yourself - and judge it for yourself.
Unfortunately Wondie is still eight or so months away. So there'll be plenty more talks like this, here, and elsewhere.
