You know, I will happily defend things I like from people that hate it, but I will not force you to change your viewpoint and suddenly “admit” it’s the greatest thing every and make you sorry you hated on Scrappy-Doo or whatever. For me it’s more about getting my point of view out there and finding others who agree with me. When it comes to the “Snyderverse”, defenders are rather easy to find. Continuing to talk about something you like is fine, but isn’t it time to stop defending it? Those of us who want to see a proper DC hero adaptation…will have to go to the past, because nobody attached to Warner Brothers today seems to want to do that at all, but we’re still going to complain about it, and the so-called “DC Extended Universe” is not going to go on our lists.
Still, the Snyder fans (often referred to with the derogatory “Snyder Bros”, despite this article and other defenders being women) continue to not just celebrate “their DC”, they insist we have to love it as much as they do, admit we’re wrong, and just kiss Zack Snyder’s backside. Sorry, that’s not happening. The latest Snyder Shield is FandomWire contributor Mahin Sultan, who in an article with the long-winded title “‘I don’t think he’s a big comic book dork’: Christopher Nolan Vetoed Against Zack Snyder’s Wild Man of Steel Plans That Killed the DCEU” (geez, I can find smaller titles from Japanese media), tries to make the case that it was Nolan, who produced Man Of Steel, and Warner Brothers that actually killed the DCEU. This is also an article with really short paragraphs. I like to break up my text walls as well, but a paragraph can be more than three sentences.
At any rate, Sultan tries to blame everything except Snyder’s style of movie making for why the DCEU fell apart. Should Warner Bros. get some of the blame? Yes. Nolan? Maybe, depending on how much producing he did after Man Of Steel and how hands on he was. That doesn’t mean, like him or hate him, that Snyder was a good choice for Superman in the same way he was for Watchmen. Not every creator is a fit for every project. So let’s see what Sultan’s attempts to steer the blame away from Snyder amount to.
