Obviously it was better than the theatrical cut. There was no doubt about it. That version was visibly a mismatch of scenes cobbled together. Any cut that had a coherent style and narrative to it would be ages better if only for actually being a montage and not a bunch of stuff slapped together.

I have nothing. I mean, ten years since I started writing, but also four since I stopped (not counting false starts and one-shots). Like, at this point I keep this account and blog mostly out of obstinacy rather than having anything too interesting to say.

I just—no no, it's fine, it's fine. it doesn't bother me, it doesn't bother me, it bothers me, it bothers me a lot... AND THEY CHANGED MSPAINT AGAIN!!

Look, I trust James Gunn and taking notes from the DCAU and YJ is probably the way. But last time I had any hope in DC movies, they fired Henry Cavill right after he posted about working on a new Superman movie. So, I mistrust the idiots at WB Discovery more than I trust Gunn and co.
