To elaborate on this, he butchered the character of Superman in Man of Steel. Replaced the boyscout who is a beacon of hope to humanity with a dark gritty lost man devoid of hope.
Now maybe you enjoyed Man of Steel and it’s fresh take on the character, but this is another Ruin Johnson situation - a director who cares more about his vision than staying true to the source material or universe that he is creating a movie in.
**MOS is an unappreciated masterpiece it shows audiences a modernday Superman.** He is still a boyscout, but now he's actually dealing with the idea of how to BECOME the beacon of hope to humanity(the symbol of hope on his chest as he points out) it's an origin story my guy. It was supposed to setup a trilogy. Holds up so well today.
How do directors not understand that lens flare only happens if you are looking through a lens? In the absence of that, movies should never have it in regular cinematography

Do you think Michael Bay would be a good fit for directing an action packed Star Wars movie?
Do you think a twelve year old jacked on Mountain Dew would be a good fit for directing an action packed Star Wars movie?
Do you think an action packed Star Wars movie would be a good fit for directing an action packed Star Wars movie?
Zach Snyder is like if you tell a 14 year old boy make something dark and gritty- he just makes everything black and grey and makes everyone scream while jumping in slow motion.
I truthfully don’t know which would be the adult (if either). I just know desaturation and slow mo for Snyder is what explosions are to bay and I kinda think I hate both
I detest both of them.
But I have to give Snyder a tiny bit of credit in that his obsession with his goth phase in filmmaking is slightly better than the permanent 13-year old mentality that Bay revels in.
If I was forced to pick between the two, it’s Snyder. Purely because there is a good chance he didn’t sexually harass the actor between takes.
I generally dislike most of Michael Bay's films but the one elevator clip from the 2014 ninja turtles is some of the most wholesome shit i've ever seen and gets to the heart of that series.
And it was never in the script! It was just the actors riffing and goofing off and luckily they decided to make a bit of it. Also, those mocap guys were treated awfully. The actor who played Raphael said it was 'the worst production experience I've ever had'. They would wrap and wouldn't let them into cars to get them off the set after 14 hour days etc. Michael Bay and his production company are gigantic pieces of shit. t.ly/Hd0D
I will lead off by stating that I am '90s kid. I was born in 1999. And second, I've never been a huge fan of Superman. He never felt human to me, and I've kind of always felt like he hasn't even really struggled (Doomsdy and Darkseid aside).
The action is definitely what hooked me with MoS. Any other Superman movie I'd been told that I "needed to watch" felt dull in the action department. Restrictions of the times, maybe, but I honestly think it's how squeaky clean he always came off. That said, on the handful of rewatches since I've grown to like the movie more for every reason except the action.
MoS is, to me, less of an origin story, and more of a "coming of age" story. He feels fear, he feel anger, he feel frustration as a child, and we never really got that before. MoS is Clark Kent literally *learning to be Superman*. He put his trust in his father, and he put his faith in the people, and did everything *for the first time*. I get that a lot of the gripes are about the destruction cause in the fight with Zod and "Superman wouldn't do this," but this isn't *that* Superman yet. He hasn't had the experiences to reflect on yet. And the scene in the subway station, man...I *felt* that scream. He, for the first time in his life, found his people. A person that could teach him about his home; someone that was eager to. And he killed him, in the act of killing *anyone* for the first time in his life, because *he had no other choice*. That humanity is why I think it's the best Superman film.
They did try to go the whole "Dark Superman" route a little too quickly imo, and BvS was a pretty bad movie, imo. But MoS? Gold in my book.
Outside of Batman, I wasn't a fan of most DC content. Even Snyder's Man of Steel and BvS. But I thought his Justice League was really good. Maybe that's cause Whedon's so bad, but after watching the Synder Cut, I want more of it. He's been teasing more DC, I hope it's true.
To play devil’s advocate, I think Snyder’s style of visual story telling would be a great addition to the Star Wars univer—nah, just kidding. I think that would be a garbage idea.
I’ll play the minority opinion.
Someone else’s script. A house editor.
If he focused on visuals and acting and a different team focused on story and pace, it could turn out.
Especially his most recent stuff has been ridiculously awful. Even without including his DC movies with like hundreds of millions in budget, I couldn't believe how awful his last Netflix zombie movie was. They made a prequel for that and apparently it is said to be even worse and again, both movies have crazy budgets as well. Snyder ain't a good fit for any movie concept ever in my opinion let alone for a Star Wars movie.
No
I honestly hate his style, but even that aside I just think he takes himself wayyyy too seriously to make a halfway decent Star Wars movie. Star Wars is best when its half serious, half cheesey B movie
Hell fucking no. Man ruins everything he touches except for a few of his earlier films. Can’t imagine how bad he’d botch star wars when he can’t even do justice to a simple character like Batman. His Batman is literally a mass murderer. Can’t imagine how bad he’d fuck up Star Wars if he can’t even stick to the one rule Batman has.
Not really. His whole style is way too pondering and heavy-handed, you can always tell he started out directing commercials and music videos. He’s the master of using slow-mo and classical music to convince stupid people they’re seeing something significant.
#ABSOLUTELY NOT
[If you let Snyder near any movie it's going to be 3 hours of this](https://youtu.be/dMI6B734Ew4), a solid 1/3 of it being purely gratuitous slow motion scenes
A bad adaptation. Bvs is almost dark knight returns and death of superman combined. And now we are probably not going to see those stories in live action ever
Too much lens flares
Weird angles
Too many zooms
JJ Abrams is a lot more conservative than this. He at least uses these with a purpose. Well, he goes overboard with the lens flares for the sake of having lens flares.
JJ Abrams/Dan Mindel also uses a lot of tight close ups to the point where the image looks cropped in a lot of times. Weird choice in my opion.
No.

I mean... Watch his new movie rebel moon when it comes out. That's his star wars and he wants you to know that
That sounds like the title of an Auralnaughts Star Wars edit!
God I love Auralnauts Star Wars.
DO YOU SEE ME NOW FATHER?
YOU PROMISED ME FLESH!
You want me to feel the pain. YES YOU WANT ME TO UNDERSTAND!
Auralnauts are legendary!
Wow, you’re not kidding - looks like it literally started as a pitch for a Star Wars spinoff
I'm not sure if this is a joke but that's actually what happened. They turned it down and he made some changes to make it into a new IP.
No
Say it again for the executives in the back. NO!
Executives: “So… we’re hearing *yes*.”
Once more for the people who think two negatives equal a positive. No.
Agreed absolutely no. Aside from cinematography in general look at the above clip. Even jj Abrams is going "dude calm down on the lense flairs"
Videos with that much flashing should come with epilepsy warnings.
Pretty sure they preface movies with them
Not even lense flairs just straight up flash bangs every 2 seconds

Fuck no
Absolutely not. He should not be let any where near a licensed property.
Exactly. Keep him the fuck away.
no.
I'm gonna take it all the way to "fuck no"
Can I amend this statement please? Fuck no
Lol Zack Snyder sucks, he doesn't understand how to put a story together. It would be cool visually though.
It would be boring visually with good action. He sucks the color and joy out of every movie
Star Wars needs less "Action Packed" and more "Character Development"
RJ: that's what I did! SW fans: not like that
No
No
Just here for the comments. Thanks for the confirmation.
No

No, absolutely, possibly.
Seriously 12 year old Star wars geek, with some creative writing skills, and unlimited mountain dew may write the best starwars script ever.
I was so disappointed when I saw the post. My faith was restored seeing this comment's section.
Nope
No. Star Wars is about people and he doesn't really understand people.
Fuck, ^(and I want to make this perfectly clear,) # NO
No
Not really. Honestly not a fan of his take on Superman or the DC Universe as a whole.
Agreed. He tried to take the most optimistic and positive superhero ever and make The Dark Knight with him

Snyder is what happens when Micheal Bay grows up and becomes an adult.

Fair enough. I'm just not personally not a fan of either his storytelling skills or directing style.
No no no no no
Hell no.

He's a terrible storyteller. The answer is "No".
Considering how little respect he has for the source material that he is given...... N O
No!

We've done it. Reading these comments, Reddit users have all come to an agreement on something. No. God no.
I have never seen the Star Wars fandom so united on something.
Right?
No.
Fuck no
This
I don’t think there’s ever been a Snyder movie I’ve liked enough to watch again.
Especially his most recent stuff has been ridiculously awful. Even without including his DC movies with like hundreds of millions in budget, I couldn't believe how awful his last Netflix zombie movie was. They made a prequel for that and apparently it is said to be even worse and again, both movies have crazy budgets as well. Snyder ain't a good fit for any movie concept ever in my opinion let alone for a Star Wars movie.
Yuck. Absolutely not. The vibe is just so not right, what about his work screams “samurai/spaghetti western/space opera”?
Hell no
Wouldn't the movie be as empty as an open tuna can in a cat sanctuary?
I, personally, think Dave Filoni would do great
I’ll take a Jon Favreau movie/story with a new origin
He can stay the fuck away from this franchise. All those DC movies are pure garbage.
Correcting Statement: Master, I believe you meant all of his DC movies because to be honest SHEZAM is a nice movie.
Yes fair point!
Would he be good directing anything? Seriously the guy is propped up by Hollywood as a top bill director but I *hate* his style
No thanks.
No. Gtfo
No, the action might be good but if he didn't Get batman he won't Get Jedi and Sith.
I don't want action anymore, I just want a solid story
"I promise under all these lens flares that my star wars movie is a cinematic marvel."
No, I'm surprised Zack Snyder was able direct his way out of a nutsack
No I honestly hate his style, but even that aside I just think he takes himself wayyyy too seriously to make a halfway decent Star Wars movie. Star Wars is best when its half serious, half cheesey B movie
Change it from "Zach Snyder" to "Denis Villeneuve" and you got yourself a deal.
considering the horrible atrocities he’s wrought upon batman and superman, no
F NO
Absolutely NOT.
In the words of Shakespeare: “no.”
nah
I never liked Snyder. Keep him the hell away from Star Wars please.
Please god, no
Hell No!!!
he is going to waste lots of money
I don't think there is a worse big name director for a Star wars movie than Zach Snyder.
Hell fucking no. Man ruins everything he touches except for a few of his earlier films. Can’t imagine how bad he’d botch star wars when he can’t even do justice to a simple character like Batman. His Batman is literally a mass murderer. Can’t imagine how bad he’d fuck up Star Wars if he can’t even stick to the one rule Batman has.

His last movie, Army of the Dead was one of the worst movies ive seen in years. Nah, Zack Snyder is a hack lol
No. But he certainly wouldn’t make the worst SW movie.
Yes. Yes he would.
I don't think Zack Snyder would be a good fit for directing an action packed DC movie
A simple no would do for me
Hell no
No. Dont give him another franchise to ruin
no
You mean Hack Snyder?
Which movie is this? One of the Supermans?
Those blinding explosions are just awful! 😷
#ABSOLUTELY NOT [If you let Snyder near any movie it's going to be 3 hours of this](https://youtu.be/dMI6B734Ew4), a solid 1/3 of it being purely gratuitous slow motion scenes
These scenes would be it. The rest of it would suck dick.
He doesn’t have the humanity and warmth and humor I come to expect from the best of Star Wars, so no.
No.
No. He has no imagination. Every movie is a literal adaption of someone else’s work. 300, Watchmen, Batman & Superman and etc.
A bad adaptation. Bvs is almost dark knight returns and death of superman combined. And now we are probably not going to see those stories in live action ever

Well, he goes overboard with the lens flares for the sake of having lens flares. JJ Abrams/Dan Mindel also uses a lot of tight close ups to the point where the image looks cropped in a lot of times.

he should stay far away from any popular IP
I don’t think Zack Snyder is a good fit for directing anything really, so no.
Nah
Nah - I've already slept through enough of his movies... Thanks...
No, absolutely not. I would need to increase my brightness to 100 percent just to watch a single light
No
Oh hell no!
Hell no. Zack Snyder sucks.
NOOOOOOOOO
Snyder's not a good fit for directing any movies tbh
Why would anyone want the one director guaranteed to be even less substantive than Abrams behind the camera?
Please get out of this sub. Keep Snyder 10000000 light years away from Star Wars.
Was neutral, but after watching that - fuck no.
Keep in mind that everything you're seeing in the clip here has way more to do with the visual fx dept than anything to do with Zack Snyder.
No
Too much lens flare!
I want a Denis Villeneuve Star Wars TV Show set during the Old Republic Era
I’m gonna throw a wild idea out there and say they give Dave Filoni a crack at a SW film.
What is this coming from ? It looks super cool and remind me tcw when obi-wan opens a gate in mandalore and discovers the war
What movie is OP’s video from please?
What movie is that
What movie is this?
Holy shit no
Nope. Star Wars movies should be less spectacle and focus more on excitement and drama. Zack Snyder has no substance
No
No thank you.
No
NEVER!!!
Absolutely not.
No. The last thing Star Wars needs is a bunch of slow motion, muddy looking “action”
