Re: Zack Snyder's Justice League

Flash saving the world was EPIC. I can't believe the original had such a joke of a climax next to this.
Also, just how many reshoots did they do for this?! It's practically a whole new movie.
I hope it makes a ton of money for HBO Max and they decide to axe their current DCEU plans and make Man of Steel 2 and Justice League 2. This film shows that this universe still has huge potential.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a 'Game of Thrones Series Finale: Director's Cut' in the next couple of years.
People really need to watch the theatrical again to see the comparison, from what was cut out to this, Snyder shot the majority of the theatrical. But from what I can tell, read.
1. Opening was repurposed from BVS with extensions of things shot with closeups of Amber Heard, Cyborg, and Amazonians added in.
2. Darkseid, they never had the money to complete the storyboards so they nixed him, and re used early/new recordings of the actor and changed Steppenwolf to a minion. So the old battle was just re-envisioned with the added budget and the writing was changed to incorporate his role. Remember Steppenwolf was suppose to be the end villain of Suicide Squad but was nixed for the same reasons. His presence would have at least been fleshed out better here either way had WB not decided to save the money and use Enchantress' brother instead. I think the original plan was to make Steppenwolf more of a Loki (thor to Avengers arc) because isn't in the comics Steppenwolf one of Darkseid's elders or something.
3. Martian Manhunter (though that's a relatively simple fix)
4. Amazonian temple falling into the water (The rest is pretty much the same outside of VO work)
5. Knightmare sequence
6. Fisher did minor closeup work (I'm guessing a lot of his flying, work for the finale, and Superman's revival, as those scenes have the more glaring of differences)
7. Little beats with Cyborg, and a lot of the meetings between the league in between battles were re recorded.
6. While the majority of the battles were simply re animated, all the main footage was just re rendered ie. In the theatrical Same shot of wonder woman to cut off Steppenwolf's axe, is repurposed to cut off his head.
7. Cyborg's 2 dream sequences.
8. Superman becoming Superman again was mixed with BVS and MOS audio, but all of the Black Superman stuff appeared in the theatrical (they simply changed the color in post)
9. Joe Morton has stated he doesn't remember when he did the end narration, but that he did participate in the reshoots, He also says he hasn't seen either version of the film, only that in the theatrical he gets a sequel, in the Snyder he's basically replaying Miles Dyson, but Danny is grown up
10. Stunt actors/CGI Batman added into the sewer and finale.
A lot of the stuff is actually pretty easy to spot (the ADR especially from Affleck and Cavill seems to have been done on a zoom, lol) and the effects are noticeably worse in a lot of the action scenes than the theatrical (As they accomplished a lot with the 70 million, and they had all the footage of the actors to work with but the final polish is missing in a lot of it)
