    There are some truly interesting shots in this new trailer that may make the Snyder Cut be a fascinating view (if not so enjoyable):
    - the Flash trying out the Speed Force and meeting Iris
    - Wonder Woman finding the arrow
    - More time featuring Cyborg's past


    I wish the trailer music wasn't both depressing and pretentious though. It's the Shrek Hallellujah song. And even if I didn't know that, I'd still think it was too sad/obvious for a film where Superman resurrects.

    Darkseid looks pretty cool IMO. Very forbidding and granite-like.

    The trailer showed a brief shot of Desaad.

    Good enough, I guess.

    Yup, that is exactly what it looks like. Like, they said 'good enough', and then stopped. Darkseid as well. I mean, he's not even wearing a shirt.

    Desaad isn't bad but Stepphenwolf still seems pretty bad and not impressed with Darkseid honestly.

    IGN posted the trailer again.

    It's a little know fact that it was actually the trailer to Zach Snyder's Justice League that was playing in the background of the Watchmen sex scene. Really shows how far along the project was before Whedon came in.

    Well, that was a lot of yawn. A bunch of people looking seriously at each other. Then, we see the terrible Steppenwolf design, and a little fighting here and there. But, nothing really stands out as great. Snyder said on twitter that this is a film made for grownups. Apparently, that means, it's made for people who need a good nap.

    He’s not called Hack Snyder for nothing. Seems like a lot of things going on and nothing really all that different. Just darker/grittier pallet swaps. If anything defeating Darkseid in the first go round as the Justice League instead of Steppenwolf really lessens Darkseid’s impact.

    This trailer would be hype if it was for Justice League: Endgame, the culmination of multiple years of world building. But imagine this is actually playing in theaters. It's, for all intents and purposes, the first time we've seen Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg. These scenes only feel dramatic and important because that's the way Snyder shoots everything.

    Well, if his other movies are anything to go by, his 'dark/grittier' approach is the same approach the 90's had, with everything being all 'extreme'. It's mature in the same way Gi Joe Extreme is mature. Dark and gritty doesn't equal maturity. Nor, does campy and cheesy mean it's immature. It's all about how the material is used. How the characters develop, and the story is written.

    But, this is Zack Snyder, so his approach is just make everything dark and gritty, and that's all you need for maturity. But, his dark and gritty comes off as even campier than Super Friends was.

    Darkseid, our big mean baddie, looks like he's been punched in the chest, and his chest has been caved in. He looks like he's already one step away from dead. If someone is watching this movie who knows nothing about Desaad, are they even going to know that's Desaad by the time the film ends? Doubt it. Also, why does it look like he's wearing a tire over his head?

    Ultimately, I do think this film will be entertaining, but not for the reasons he thinks/wants it will. I think it will be entertaining for the same reason I found Batman V Superman entertaining. The fact that it was hilarious.

    Hilariously pretentious trailer. Having the balls to pull out "Hallelujah" AGAIN solely to sing his own praise. I'm legitimately surprised that even HBO weren't like "Zack, dude, dial it back a bit, because... geezus. We know. We all get it FFS."

    I don't know what some of you are watching, but there's like only 3 scenes that was in the Whedon cut so not the same movie, but haters will hate that some of us are getting a new movie that was what Snyder intended.
    And Hallelujah is a bad ass song, play it in every movie lol

    So-called "Whedon cut" had lil' Zackie's name ALL over it and he was given full credit for it - so let's all stop with that shit. Many of the Snyder minions seemed to like JL fine enough UNTIL he started saying he (supposedly) didn't watch it (which is bullshit - of course he did) and then started teasing his "Snyder cut" nonsense... THEN all of sudden they hated the movie they were given. How convenient.

    All this is, now, is just a NEW cut that he gets to do entirely on his own that he's now had 3-4 years to pine over and re-calibrate. If anyone actually believes this utter bullshit of it being his "original vision", then please let me tell you about some nice ocean front property in Montana that I'd like to sell you through my Nigerian prince broker via several Hotmail accounts. I mean, come on, no one can actually be THIS gullible or blindly devoted to, of all friggin' things, Zack "Just The Goth Michael Bay" Snyder.

    While I like both, I’ve been a bigger fan of Marvel than DC. However, when Avengers first released back in 2012, I got excited. A superhero cinematic universe was something that had never existed before. Since the Dark Knight Rises was the last film in the Nolan Batman trilogy, I got excited at the thought of DC doing their own cinematic universe. Seeing Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman grace the same screen was going to be absolutely awesome.

    Yet this is what we got. Two films, and then Justice League. Call me a Marvel shill or fanboy, but there’s a reason the Marvel Cinematic Universe works. We get the individual movies first, thus allowing us to get to know the characters first, then we get the team up movie, the culmination of several films. DC didn’t do this. It’s obvious they were trying very hard to catch up with Marvel. The entire DCEU feels rushed, and now it seems DC is trying to figure out what works.

    In a much better universe, DC does what Marvel did, they succeed, Marvel and DC play off each other and set the bar higher with every film they release, and the second Justice League film is released this year, while the first one was a major success, critically and financially.

    Great shot of Desaad. Loved him in Avengers.

    Gotta agree with DC here why put in the effort when you can just use someone else’s design?

    ...I'm liking the tone of the trailer; I wonder how consistent the tone will be throughout "The Snyder CUT". To Hot for theaters just warm enough for HBOMAX. Come on 2021

    Zack Snyder saying with zero irony that his movies are for grownups has got to be the most hilarious thing I've read all year. Somehow I doubt he'll ever do a drama that isn't based on material for kids or teens. There's something about DC in general that just breeds this pretentious need to scream how mature they are.

    First opening shot of JL with Supes lips ruined JL for me, so I never liked it. If you don't care how ZS got his movie edited cause some other director can't see his finished vision, then it's whatever, and I like the darker tone, not everything has to be Disney.

    I think someone said that is a younger Darkseid from a flash back. I'm not 100% sure, but I think he eventually gets the classic suit in the movie?

    Yeah there is a lot of new stuff here. I hope he didn't spoil too much. I was surprised to see the corn field scene though. I could have sworn that was 100% Joss, because there seemed to be some weird Cavil shots with the CGI upper lip in there, but maybe they were spliced into Zack's scenes?

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see so much hate on Snyder's vision, but he was brought in to continue Nolan's vision in some ways. It is a dark gritty take on DC just like Nolan's The Dark Night. What does everyone prefer? The Reeves Superman universe? I don't know modern day story telling is gonna give us that anymore. The MCU? Would the DCU even work if they put it through the MCU filter? I'm not sure? It would be a lot of quips... I know that. MCU has become big-budget comedies that is light on character development. That is why I'm a little worried about the X-men.
