Zack Snyder Calls Out 'Fakers' Who Spread False and Misleading Information Regarding JUSTICE LEAGUE

Zack Snyder has been on a long journey with Justice League, and years after he departed the project, Warner Bros. and HBO Max is giving him the opportunity to fully realize his vision and that vision is going to end up being four-hours long!

I have no idea if the movie is going to be good or not, but we do know that it’s going to be very different from the version of the film that Joss Whedon directed. Not long after Whedon’s film was released in theaters, rumors started swirling around that Snyder actually had a cut of the film.

Some people said it existed, while other people said it didn’t exist. I wasn’t sure what to believe until the proof that there was something started coming to light. Apparently, these online discussions were driving Zack Snyder crazy. He was paying attention to what was being said, he was reading it all, and he restrained himself from answering back when people would say false or misleading things.

It’s explained by Cinemablend that there were also a lot of bloggers who staked their reputations on the fact that the Snyder Cut never would or could see the light of day. While I never staked my reputation on the matter, early on when the rumors started, I thought that it was a long shot that it would happen because that’s an unprecedented move for a studio. But hey, it’s happening! It’s crazy, but Snyder is going to get to release his vision of the film.

There was a group of fans that were really pushing hard to help make this happen for Snyder, and after the news broke that made it official, there were a bunch of bloggers that started pushing how it was rewarding “toxic fandom,” and then some people saying that this cut is not really The Snyder Cut. I’ve seen some of these things and when sharing his own thoughts in it, Snyder said:

“I just think that’s sour grapes. There’s really no other way to say it. We know the people who were the architects of that narrative, and it’s pretty obvious what their agenda is. Those are people that I’ve been held back from confronting, by wiser people in the room. Because I’d love to get at some of these characters. Some direct conversation would be nice. Just to say, one, you don’t know shit about what you’re talking about. And we can break down everything they’ve ever [said]. I can make a list. There’s a few of these guys where I could just get a list of everything they’ve ever said, that they thought was right, and [I could tell them] every single thing they’ve said is wrong.”

The filmmaker went on to talk about wanting to call out the “fakers” and how the so-called “toxic fandom” helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for suicide prevention:

“And so, in what world do you have any credibility anywhere, to any- one? I would love the opportunity to just say to the world, and to fandom in general, who these fakers are and what should be done to them, or with them. It’s just a bunch of BS. In regards to that toxic fandom, or it’s ‘a win for toxic fandom,’ again, in what world does this ‘toxic fandom’ raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for suicide prevention? How is that toxic fandom? They’ve probably achieved more than any other fan base, [and done more] good than any other group. So I don’t understand.”

So when he says he wants to reveal who the “fakers” are and talks about what should be done to them or with them, is he saying he wants to punish them? Damn, he must be completely fed up with some of these people!

What are your thoughts on what Snyder is saying here and the feelings he’s shared on the matter?
