I am sure it is happening as we speak, Imaculata!I think all of the above.
But I wonder if people will create their own cut of the Snyder cut, like they did with The Hobbit. Surely someone will be up to the task of making the Snyder cut shorter than 4 hours. Perhaps some scenes from Josh Whedon's cut will be reinserted?
I agree. It looks (and works) terrifically.This is pretty much inevitable, and I look forward to this kind of "ultimate cut". I think you could get a pretty tight 2:45 movie out of all this.
BTW, Flash realizing Superman can track him visually is still the best moment in either version of this movie!
Also: I really love the visuals for Flash running (in both versions). I could do with a bit less time spent at slow-mo, but it's so graceful and dancer-like, practically not even running at all - more like skating or sliding - and how his arms aren't rigid and pumping but kind of "soft" and flowing. It's all a pretty cool re-imagining of how to portray it.
Maybe someone should give Topher Grace an email?I am sure it is happening as we speak, Imaculata!
Manos: The Hand of Fate is not a good example here, as just about everything about it was bad. You want to find a film that has the potential to be good, but the poor editing drags it down. Editing might be the least of Manos' sins...Yeah, the editor is a relatively little known factor by the public but really important aspect of movie making. It can really make a movie great (Star Wars) or it can make a movie notoriously bad (Manos: The Hands of Fate - if you haven't seen this, its editing and pacing are soooooooo bad).
I think in Synders cut they promoted cyborg at the expense of Batman, because some of the planning and detective work gets shifted to Cyborg.
they also cut some of Batman’s “mentoring” moments. Example: In the Joss cut, an inexperienced Flash has an understandable freak out in his first real fight. Batman calms him down, and tells him “just save one”. And of course once Flash does that he gets in the rhythm and goes to work. Synders cut removes those elements, which removes another niche for Batman.
On that, I disagree. The pacing of Manos is a master study in how bad editing can be.Manos: The Hand of Fate is not a good example here, as just about everything about it was bad.
