You have peaked my curiosity. I’ve never really seen any zack snyder movies but what makes them so bad? Not even just bad but fascist? 👀

ive always disliked zack snyder on like a very deep GUT level, i could never articulate what it is that makes his movie so.. hard to digest, but then i stumbled across maggie mae fish's series of video essays on him and she WENT IN, more in depth than i could ever go in (having seen only a few of his movies). she goes after his entire filmography and just. shows that this man has no idea what he's trying to convey, something is always lost in translation and its because he himself lacks emotional depth to engage with the characters, the script or the audience.

i remember when i first watched bvs and it really was like slowly bleeding out, we watched the 3h version and by the end of it, i was just. so exhausted. it was so long and yet nothing has occurred. zero sum movie. it poisoned me with its bombastic uselessness.

also his color grading sucks. like, i know hes not in the editing booth himself but he definitely pushes his poor editors to do the worst color grading in forever.

ANYWAYS, i recommend this series of video essays and maggie mae fish in general, she has some bangers i think
