generalize
Snyder’s DCEU ending mirrors the MCU’s “Infinity Saga” ending, leading to unflattering comparisons.
It’s been hinted in Justice League that the Superman-Darkseid battle won’t happen, but Snyder has big plans.
The time-travel element in Snyder’s Justice League was memorable, but using it again in the finale feels repetitive.
Zack Snyder has shared his vision for the DCEU’s ending, and it sounds a little too similar to the MCU’s Infinity Saga ending.One of the disadvantages Zack Snyder’s Justice League It’s that it teases an epic battle that will never happen. After defeating Steppenwolf, the Justice League comes face to face with Darkseid, who heads to Earth. Unfortunately, the DCEU’s climactic battle with Darkseid won’t happen, but Snyder has plans for it. In a recent interview with GQ , Snyder revealed how his Snyderverse will end, specifically what will happen to Superman.
“He (Superman) will have to succumb to the Anti-Life, be destroyed, turn back time, and then get a chance to fight Darkseid, which will complete his trilogy of becoming a Guardian and, return him to his humanity. ”
This sounds like a great fight between Superman and Darkseid. However, it also sounds like the narrative behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe finale. Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. DCEU often catches up with Marvel. It would be bad if the ending of DCEU is too similar to Marvel. End Game, Because this leads to endless comparisons.
10 major benefits of Netflix continuing Zack Snyder’s DC Snyderverse
Zack Snyder’s DCEU vision sounds closer to Avengers: Endgame
Snyder’s vision for the fight between Darkseid and the Justice League includes Superman losing to Darkseid and succumbing. This would lead to the apocalyptic nightmare future that Bruce Wayne envisioned before Superman figured out a way to turn back time and defeat Darkseid and eliminate that future. While that sounds cool, it’s also too close to the end of the MCU’s Infinity Saga.Avengers lost to Thanos infinity warhalf of the world’s population was wiped out.
Five years later, in End GameThe remaining heroes figure out how to time travel and stop Thanos before he collects the Infinity Stones and snaps his fingers.While there are many significant differences between the ending of the DCEU and the ending of the DCEU End Gamethe narrative template is too close to Marvel, and it would be too bad if DC created something so identical to its competitors.
Snyder already had a great time travel scene in Justice League
Superman once traveled through time, returning to that controversial moment in 1978 Superman He saves Lois Lane by orbiting the Earth in the opposite direction, taking the Earth back in time.However, Snyder created a fantastic time travel sequence Justice League When Barry Allen passes through the Speed Force to prevent the Mother Boxes from joining together. It’s a great moment that perfectly captures the power of speed visually while also providing emotional character development for Barry.
Since this scene is so memorable, adding another time-travel scene in which Darkseid is defeated would seem repetitive. If time travel is used too often, it creates a lot of plot holes as to why characters don’t travel in time to prevent other problems, and it’s also lazy writing. It can be exciting if used correctly, but the DCU is using it sparingly as it’s the right plot point.
