His justification for that mess was stunningly dumb. Zack, that's your audience, bro. And they didn't get it. "Sucker Punch is a f*** you to a lot of people who will watch it" and "people don't like to see their heroes deconstructed" tell you everything you need to know about the chasm between the movies Zack Snyder thinks he makes (or else, wants to make) and the movies he actually makes. Mind you, this is the same guy who took Watchmen, a property where all the heavy lifting of actual deconstruction was already handled by Alan Moore, and landed on "Rorschach is badass and Ozymandias is teh ghey". And Comedian is an action hero instead of a misogynistic coward

Everything else was this horrible misinterpretation of, to this day, the best deconstruction of the superhero genre.

It's almost impressive how he managed to miss literally everything the story was trying to say... even the beats it hits you over the head with... Not to mention the he still defends the change to the end despite it making half the things Ozy does in the story make no sense, leaves a ton of dangling threads and... flat out doesn't make any sense and would not work. and his only real response is "The squid would look silly in live action." in which case... then like be creative and make it look like something else... the point isn't it's a squid, the point is it's an unknowing horror from beyond. Doctor Manhattan is a known entity... and further more he's known as the United States attack dog and has been since Vietnam, the Soviet Union launches nukes and destroys the world the minute he's suspected as the culprit.

Snyder: "I want to make a Snyder Cut of Sucker Punch. I wonder if Warner Bros. will let me do it?"
Also Snyder: "Here's how I got around Warner Bros. trying to cut my pointless, go-nowhere subplot by using the most expensive filming method currently in use."
He's a few bounced paycheques away from being ECW on TNN Paul Heyman.

Every time he pokes at WB he gets further and further away from his dream of adapting The Fountainhead as they own the film rights.

Don't forget the Knightmare scene is literally considered the worst part of the movie by far... and happens after the movie is over.

Does this guy even listen to himself anymore? For a supposed comic geek I have major doubts he's ever actually read one.

Kinda surprised he and Frank Miller aren't teaming up like all the time.

Zack Snyder is a stupid piece of garbage. Anyone who likes him is also, at the very least, equally stupid.

At best, Zacky boy is a decent visual director (Honestly he probably would've been decent to good at video game art) at worst his films are just meh and his fandom are a bunch of crazed Looney tunes
