The issue many have with Snyder is that he seems to make movies movies with a director's cut in mind and the first release effectively becomes a cobbled together extended trailer for the "real film he wanted to make". With the exception of Blade Runner and the third Godfather film, all the films here were released as the director intended, critically acclaimed, and didn't need extended versions to save their reputations. They were complete good films the first time around. The extended cuts of LOTR and Aliens are considered a nice bonus rather than the definitive versions Jackson and Cameron always really wanted.

The first two Godfather films have never even had extended versions (unless you count the chronological TV edit which hasn't been show again in decades) and the third one only had a re-edit decades later, Coppola didn't make the movies and promote them with the promise that there were better, longer versions just around the corner. The director's cut of Blade Runner isn't even a director's cut since Scott didn't personally oversee it. The final cut is his preferred version, and it was more a case of fine tuning what had already been released, taking out the studio mandated narration and happy ending, and fixing some errors rather than a complete restructuring of the entire movie.

Movie fan against the idea of directors getting to go back and rework their movies, and a generally supportive of director's cut, it's why the ZSJL movement gained so much support. But Rebel Moon it feels less like this is a struggle for true artistic expression and more like a marketing gimmick in full collaboration with Netflix, a cynical and blatant attempt to hype up another "Snyder cut" to get people to watch the same film more than once.
