He wrote some reshoots for JL, and he's directing Batgirl, so he makes even more sense. The guy gets to be known as the director of both the first Avengers movie and the first Justice League movie.KingsGambit said:
Oh God, I just realised that. That's one hell of a resume. I mean, there's geek cred, and then there's being King Geek of Nerd Mountain.Bob_McMillan said:
(Justice League will almost certainly be credited to Snyder primarily since it went into post-production a while ago; Whedon might get an "additional photography" credit. I'm not sure what the protocol is for reshoot directors, really.)
Lot's of people wished for the change on DCEU director's chair, but this... this feels like a monkey paw scenario. Poor guy.
Yes, that's exactly why she committed suicide. To make her father stop working on movies because of emotional trauma. I'm sure we should all be overjoyed that someone DIED for the sake of entertainment.Viking said:
I was going to debate the JJ comment as well, but I find this comment too disgusting to even bother.
Actually, I know him from both those roles, as well as The Dark Knight. But the equivalency being made is that we should be happy that Ledger died as well.Viking said:
Which we shouldn't. At all. And especially not for a parent who lost their child.
The hell? He died from an accidental drug overdose.Viking said:
Also, that's faulty logic, as the quality of The Dark Knight isn't dependent on Ledger dying. It wasn't even his last film. And that's also false equivalency, because any joy derived from TDK is separate from taking joy in the death of Snyder's daughter in of itself as a catalyst.
It is absolutely astounding the amount of hatred some people can carry around for an individual just for making something they didn't like. It's like a personal affront to them or something- "How DARE you not cater to my tastes! Do you know who I AM?!"Parasondox said:
Anyone cheering the death of someone's child just because they didn't like that person's movies can go fellate a weedwhacker.
Me too. Apart from 300. Well 'loved' is a strong word, but enjoyed much more than expected. Certainly a lot more than internet consensus appears to. Am a sucker for certain audio-visual styles with strong soundtracks.bastardofmelbourne said:
It's a tragic loss to bear, my sincerest respects and thoughts to him and his grieving family. What it must be like to have to deal with such social media bullcrap, I have no idea. It was bad enough for Robin Williams' family after his passing, and hardly anybody had previous beef with them.
You know how much of a heartless **** you sound like right? Including the earlier banned comment.Viking said:
Agreed. I am not a fan of his DC stuff but 300 and Sucker Punch (At least in my opinion) were great movies that were visually gorgeous and totally unique. The guy has talent. No one deserves a tragedy like this and I hope he and his family come out the other side okay.Quellist said:
I was surprised to read that WB suggested moving the release date back as well. Some humanity from a faceless corporation for once.Quellist said:
