Why the ending of the Snyderverse is the best
While fans of Snyder’s DC movies will be saddened by the director’s confirmation that the Snyderverse is over, this move is for the best. Snyder’s imprint is all over the DCEU, even on the films he didn’t direct, as Snyder has played most of the major characters in the universe.After ten years, the DCEU will end in December Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Now, with James Gunn’s new DC Universe reboot on the horizon, it makes sense for DC Studios to only look to the future, leaving any movie set in the past DCEU continuity – like Snyder’s The universe – left behind.
Snyder’s DC films have also been controversial, receiving criticism for their story choices and casting. As the poor box office performance of DCEU movies released in 2023 shows, most audiences have given up on the DCEU. Based on the reception of Snyder’s past DC properties and the performance of the final DCEU films, it’s difficult to imagine a new film in the Snyderverse being able to receive critical acclaim and achieve the necessary success under DC’s new Elseworlds banner. A box office success.
What’s more, Snyder was treated poorly by DC and was phased out. Justice League After personal tragedy, executives introduce the AvengersJoss Whedon will be responsible for extensive reshoots of the film. The experience led to Snyder leaving DC, and the director now has the creative freedom to build his own cinematic universe at Netflix.With his coming rebel moon Netflix’s sci-fi movie sets up a sci-fi world that Zack Snyder would have been better served without all of the problems faced by the DC Snyder Universe.
