What Zack Snyder’s Justice League Comments Mean
Snyder’s commentary onZack Snyder’s Justice Leagueexistence is a big reference to the fact that the campaign to get his original vision released was a long battle, with the help of the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement.It became evident in 2017 thatWhedon’sJustice Leaguecuthad severely undermined what the filmmaker was striving to do, prior to him having to step away from post-production in light of his daughter, Autumn Snyder’s, passing. That is why it led to perhaps one of the most talked-about battles in film history of fans wanting to get the director’s creative vision fully realized and restored.
In the history of DC movies, the push to seeZack Snyder’s Justice Leaguecutget its due is still a massive accomplishment, as the movement also became a big platform for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to honor the passing of Snyder’s daughter.Not only did the Snyder Cut symbolize fans' desire to see artistic integrity be honored, but they also raised $500,000 for the organization. Even in the Snyder Cut, AFSP gets honored with an Easter egg featuring the organization.
