Why the Snyder-cut will disappoint you.

Good. You clicked. I mean how could you not, right? How F'n DARE he say anything against Snyder!

So, why am I so confident? It's simple, but I'm going to spoiler tag it, just to give you one last chance, one last opportunity, to avert your eyes, and not be sullied by the dank truth.

Still curious? Okay, but I warn you, it's not an easy truth. Most people won't have thought this through, so you'll have the insider scoop. You will be in the know long before the vast majority of Snyderverse supporters.

You're going to be absolutely, fundamentally, maybe even physically rocked by this.

I was going to drop a few hints earlier, but it might be more impactful as a surprise.

Ok, get hyped. This is clearly far to long of a build up.
Now, no more games, at long last, the reason you read everything up until now.
Here we go. The reason...IS...

Spoiler:
...Your expectations are already set to high.

It can't be more disappointing to me than the Whedon cut.

Basically this.

My expectations aren't super high for what is most likely gonna be an incomplete film, but its ludicrous to think that it's gonna be worse than the Theatrical cut.

Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

Nobody wants to be disappointed, but the hype machine will not allow for that.
Prediction : Game of Thrones Season 8, redux.

The thing that nobody seems to get is that no movie is guaranteed to be good. If you didn't like his previous 2 films, you're most likely not gonna like his Justice League film either. But whether or not it's great isn't the reason for the hype. People just simply want the chance to watch what it was before the studio interfered and changed everything. I just want to see what the f*ck WB robbed us of and if it's great, great, but if it sucks, at least we got to see it. Besides, even if it does suck, it's not like people aren't gonna be clipping the sh*t out of it online like they do BvS and the Batman warehouse fight scene and other spectacular looking shots and sequences.

The hype is always the best part. Look at what happened to Star Wars, both with the Prequels, and the Disneyverse.

You people, you are never, ever, ever, ever satisfied when over-hyped.

Star Wars isn't exactly a good example of overhype ruining an experience. You can't feed people sh*t with flies still flying around it and then say "well you just didn't like it because you were overhyped."

The problem is when things start to leak and those caught in the hype can't resist reading every detail and form an opinion of what they expect the film to be like, then they go see the movie, they know everything that's going on, and it colours their view. The hype's not there, so you have to think more like a critic and not a fanboy.

Oh, you mean like deconstructing an archetype to create a postmodernist tale for today's audience?

“We learned that people don't like seeing their heroes deconstructed.”

Debora Snyder, on course correction for Justice League.

So we both agree it's not overhype?

My thoughts as well. At the very least, it will be consistant.

Wow, wanna pull my hair next? LOL, it's over hype. the product won't match expectations. It's not possible. It's still the same shittastic film, but there will just be more of it, desaturated, dull. The bones were still there in the theatrical release, and it wasn't great. Basically, it's the same damned book, but it's going to have a few new chapters, and will be published in Helvetica instead of comics sans.

The lip, the redsky, the jokes, sure those were bad, but it wasn't like the film sitting around it was some sort of masterpiece.

LOL, OF COURSE i'm pushing the dudes buttons. Self serious people are the best.

But it's true, none the less. You all will feel that horrible deep disappointment. There's no way not to, without, well, some kind of opiate.
