Whedon took over as director ofJustice Leagueafter the unfortunate passing of Snyder’s child. The film that Whedon put out was met with major criticism and caused fans to call for Snyder to get his version ofJustice Leaguereleased, which ultimately led to Snyder’s cut being released on HBO Max. Due to the fan push and vocalization,Justice Leaguebecame the most-tweeted movie of 2021. Thanks to new Twitter analytical data, fans found out what the top talked-about movies of the year were. The list is as follows: 10)The Batman,9)Shrek,8)Godzilla vs. Kong,7)Dune,6)The Suicide Squad,5)Black Widow, 4)Black Panther, 3)Eternals,2)Spider-Man: No Way Home, 1)Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
What started out as a “Release The Snyder Cut” campaign became an actual movie releaseand birthed a new campaign to Restore the Snyderverse. The new movement calls on Warner Bros. to continue Snyder’s multi-film story plan involving Superman and the rest of the Justice League taking on Darkseid. However, at this time it appears Warner Bros. has no interest in continuing Snyder’s story in the main DCEU films.
What’s interesting is seeingShrekmake that list because there wasn’t an official release this year for the property. Making the top 10 is a big deal considering the DC and Marvel films are both the main draw here.Black Pantherwas also talked about, but it’s not hard to see why. The passing of Chadwick Boseman, the release of Marvel Studios’What If…?,the newsstories behind the filming ofBlack Panther 2,and the movie itself being a very pivotal moment in cinema history all make it clear why the film made the list.
Hopefully this news shows Warner Bros. the value that Snyder and everybody involved in his version of theJustice Leagueactually have. His storyboards showed a darker side of comic book cinema that both Marvel and DC’s live-action films have yet to touch. DC has been doing better at not stepping on the toes of its directors, which is mainly whyThe Suicide Squaddid very well.
