What Is The #ReleaseTheSnyderCut Movement?
For those who aren’t familiar with this subculture of DC fans, the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement is an active movement which was launched by fans unhappy with 2017’s Justice League. Justice League was a movie which came under criticism and generated a lot of media talk. It went through massive reshoots under Joss Whedon after Zack Snyder left the project due to a family tragedy.
Along with the desire to see ZackSnder’s intended version of Justice League, a lot of #ReleaseTheSnyderCut followers have also taken an altruistic stance too.
