..."piece of shit"
https://www.indiewire.com/2021/02/warner-bros-joss-whedon-justice-league-stupefying-1234618417/ With the release of Zack Snyders Justice League now under one month away from streaming on HBO Max, one Warner Bros. executive is holding nothing back about his thoughts on the theatrical release of the film that bombed with critics in November 2017. Snyder left Justice League in post-production due to a family tragedy, and Warner Bros. brought in Joss Whedon to oversee the films completion and to direct reshoots that lightened up Snyders bleak tone. The resulting Justice League theatrical cut was a critical and commercial failure for Warner Bros. Speaking anonymously to Vanity Fair, one studio executive said everyone at Warner Bros. knew Whedons Justice League was a bomb. --- The means of production should belong to the collective unconscious ...

Sorry but I'm still blaming the execs on this one. They brought in a polar opposite director from Zack Snyder to work on a film that was already mostly done.
And I'm almost positive he was brought on specifically because of his work on the Marvel movies. --- I have nothing else to say ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also here's an interesting tidbit:
g0ldie posted... How am I supposed to introduce six characters and an alien with potential for world domination in two hours? Snyder said. I mean, I can do it, it can be done. Clearly it was done. But I didnt see it. Remember when literally everybody was telling Warner Bros. that rushing into Justice League without doing any of the ground work that Marvel Studios did was a bad idea? --- I have nothing else to say ...

Why do these giant mega corporations keep getting surprised with the product produced by hundreds of people working under them? It's not like Joss Whedon just cut the movie together in his basement and handed it in. Hundreds of not thousands of visual effects artists works on, presumably several editors, there would have been a working script they could have consulted. And even ignoring that, when he handed it in and they saw it was fucking garbage, they had the option to not release it like that.
And it's not even that much worse than the usual Snyder DC faire, so I dunno where the high horse shit surrounding it comes from other than an attempt to sell more tickets for the new version by instilling in peoples' mind that it's so much better than the old shit they already paid for. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" ...

Interesting that Snyder never saw Whedon's cut. Hope that's a good thing so everything is from him for his cut and it ends up how he wanted it before he left.

Also here's an interesting tidbit: Everything was a bad idea and they did it anyway. Batman vs Superman started out as a Batman solo movie then they forced him to hamfist in Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. Zack also had plans for Man of Steel 2 and that never happened. Would the movies have been good? IDK probably not the level people were expecting but they would have definitely been better than what we got. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

Gonna be real funny when Snyder's version is just as bad or worse. It's true that the film will no longer be an awkward mash-up of two fundamentally incompatible writing and directing styles, but I really don't think that "take a film everyone hated, and add more of the stuff that everyone hated about the films leading up to it" is going to be a winning formula. But I suppose like Doom_Art says, it will be interesting to see what the differences are, if only on an academic level. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Snyder hand picked Whedon to take over for him, it wasn't the studio.
Also, this just sounds like promotional material for the Snyder cut, I doubt this "anonymous executive" is talking about the real atmosphere of the production set --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge.

Read the article. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/02/the-true-story-of-justice-league-snyder-cut Reports that Snyder himself asked Whedon for help were false. Johns, one of the studio-appointed babysitters, had been planning a Batgirl movie with Whedon, and Snyder and others say Johns recruited him to do rewrites for Justice League. (Johnss representatives didnt respond to a request for comment.) Once again, Snyder was gracious and even hopeful: I thought maybe he could write some cool scenes. I thought that would be fun. ...
