Zack Snyder was ahead of his time, but not in a good way
(lemmy.world)
Lot of words to say zack snyder makes dogshit .
😂😂
I liked "The Watchmen", but yea, everything else he did is low quality.
I hate "Man of Steel". He made Superman a cop, and the climax is eleven nine-elevens in Metropolis.
Hm, 300 and dawn of the dead are cool.
Snyder made the same soft-core porn twice. "SuckerPunch" for straight guys and "300" for gay men.
When he has solid source material to work with and he doesn’t get the liberty to stray away from it too much, he usually makes good stuff. But that’s pretty much it. Stuff he makes on his own are usually bad.
Dawn of the dead was alright, but the original was much better
Yup.
yeah but. the source material is in a different league.
I think Synder is just following in the grand artistic tradition of Michael Bay.
They were actually class mates at a film school that emphasized visual art over storytelling. Tarsem Singh too.
Tarsem Singh at least has talent
Now I want to find, and burn down, that film school. For the good of humanity.
Slop was trained on the stuff Snyder did and inspired.
Rebel Moon was Star Wars fanfic Disney refused to let him make, so he slightly rethemed the story.
Watchmen, Dawn of the dead & 300 are good but snapping necks superman kind of out of character lol
While visually they might be good Snyder has a very surface level of understanding of the Watchmen. Dawn of the Dead was OK and the source material for 300 was just shitty writing by Frank Miller.
AI Slop is the best description for Rebel Moon!
I mean they probably trained the AIs off his work, so it’s more like Snyder is the AI’s daddy.
Pretty sure Rebel Moon was written with AI, yes
I worry that the man is mentally disturbed
I read an interview with him. He talks about how he had a Fortnite addiction until his wife made him quit and take up pottery. He talks about his brother dying when Zack was in middle school and how much it affected him.
I’m convinced his brother’s death emotionally stunted him and he’s really a middle school kid, emotionally, with enough adult intelligence to make movies.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
