Prediction: People will be disappointed.

But at least it'll be in the same style as Snyder's other disappointments in this universe.

I was told a long time ago that a Synder Cut didn't exist, as virtually none of the VFX were completed.

Maybe they're using this cut to attract new subscibers to HBO Max but if people sign up just to see this version of the film but find that it's unwatachable and wholly incomplete, the backlash certainly won't have been worth it.

That said, nothing would surprise me because AT&T has basically fumbled everything since acquiring Time-Warner.

HBO Max would be far better off doing a half-assed alternative ending of Game of Thrones where Jon and Dany leave King's Landing, where they re-light Episode 3 and have Jon fight and lose against the NK in Ep 3, and split Episode 4 into two episodes. Fans would eat that shit up and it would "salvage" GOT Season 8.

Or not, I guess.

Pretty sure HBO has moved on to the prequels and are pretending that steaming pile of shit of a last GOT season never existed.

Yeah, HBO is done with Weiss & Benioff, so there's no chance of an alternate conclusion.

Seriously, off the top of my head, I can't remember a time when the conclusion of a TV series led to the virtual end of careers, like it has with B&W. I stopped watching around Season 3 but if the ending is anywhere near as foul as the ending to LOST, they deserve the kind of response they've been given by fans of the show.

I swore to never watch anything in which Damon Lindeloff has his mitts on and to day, I've been able to keep that promise. If fans of GoT feel the same way, then B&W are going to have a rough ride ahead.

You're missing out on two of the best shows of the past decade (Leftovers, Watchmen) having taken that position.

It's been a few years, but from what I remember, Lost had a weird last episode. And that was pretty much it.

Game of Thrones went to shit for years before the final season swirled down the bowl. Season 5 had some moments but it was clear they couldn't handle anything beyond the confines of the books. Season 6 was bad. Season 7 was worse. Season 8 was maybe the worst season of a formerly great show in the history of television. I'll never watch it again, this after watching the first 4 seasons multiple times each.


It'll be interesting seeing what Snyder's cut actually ends up being. It may well be that Joss Whedon butchered a potentially decent movie, as hard as that is to believe. Although I'm one of the few people that didn't hate Man of Steel and BvS, and one of the very, very few who didn't think The Avengers was really all that great.

I'd rate them about the same. With Lost, it had been such a ****ing mess for so long that I literally had no idea how they could wrap it up in a way that made sense, but a naive part of me thought maybe they could pull it off. Wrong. With GoT, however, I could visualize so many better ways they could have done it, and instead they just said to hell with this shit, we're wrapping it up, **** everybody who's devoted years to this show, we're moving on. Like it wasn't bad enough dealing with Martin's eternal procrastination. Hell, the show's been done for what, two years now, and the lazy prick still hasn't finished the sixth book.

I feel the same way about David Lynch. I think by now everybody knows why.

Wow. I don't really pay enough attention to stuff like that (who makes what shows) to have picked up on that. I will occasionally notice when a guy (or group) makes a few different movies/TV shows that I like (or hate) but that's about it. I watched the show and the entire last season was pretty disappointing. The finale was just brutal.

Good decision. Leftovers season 1 was horrid. I refuse to watch the next 2 seasons. And I noped out of Watchman after the first episode, which was painful because I consider the graphic novels essential reading.

It will probably be a lot like the Donner cut of Superman II with unfinished effects. Yes.

HBO shelled out $20-30 million to finish his version.

Here is a link to an article. It isn't the original one I saw it in, but it came up first when I googled.

The Snyder Cut won't be released on HBO Max until 2021, so the rabid DC fans will still have quite a bit of waiting before finally being able to see what Zack Snyder had in store for his third blockbuster in the DCEU. As such, fan theories and art will likely circulate, as moviegoers patiently await the release of the movie's long-awaited alternate cut to finally become available. Once $20 - $30 million are used to help complete the unfinished version of Justice League.

My unoriginal prediction: This will be a hot wet puddle of diarrhea.

That's pretty weak reporting because there's a huge difference between $20 million and $30 million. But considering the WB VFX have been garbage visually when compared to Marvel or Star Wars, it's not unsurprising that they'd spend so little.

I'm not expecting much.

The entire entertainment business has been shut down for the better part of 3 months so far, I'd imagine that WB is moving forward because there will be very little new content available for airing in the next 12-18 months and this will give people a reason to subscribe for a month.

Are they going to spend the money to finish it? Everything I'd read about it was that a cut exists, but it's very unfinished. Like that early version of X-Men Orgins: Wolverine that leaked.
