[@NTWoo95]

Even as someone who doesn’t love all his movies, I do enjoy listening to him speak

[@RicardoSegarra]

@@NTWoo95 and that’s super cool. We all don’t have to enjoy everything he makes. It’s all subjective. But like you said. It’s always enjoyable hearing him and other filmmakers talk.

[@paulpesci1]

​@@RicardoSegarra For me, he's on a very short list of directors for whom I genuinely enjoy everything they've done. Tarantino is the only other one really... And hateful eight, although a fun movie, was probably my least favourite from him. All of Christopher Nolans movies have something special about them but there's a couple that are a bit of a chore to rewatch. For Snyder, every single thing he's done, I've loved. Even Sucker Punch in my opinion is a hugely under rated gem. The short movie he filmed in his iphone in a weekend: "Snow, steam, iron" is great visual story telling with limited time and equipment. The dude loves his art and he's one of the few filmmakers who communicates emotion and awe so effectively with visuals. Also, love or hate him... After you've seen a Snyder movie... You KNOW you've just seen a Snyder movie 😂 That's another very short list of directors that have that quality. Snyder, Tarantino, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Nolan, Scorcese... Darren Aronofsky probably... It's a short list.

Note for Hollywood fans!!!!!!!! People hate Zack Snyder bcz it is popular to hate him nowadays and they get clout and clicks when they hate on him and his work. It has driven to the extent that they talk bad about him personally. I mean you can clearly see Zack is one of the nicest person, he is loved by everyone who has worked with him in Hollywood. He is passionate about his work, you can see geek in him, he is always excited about what he is doing. All the big names has admired and respect Snyder in Hollywood and I hope General audiences will also respect him but yeah you can hate his movies but that doesn’t mean you have to attack his personal life and family. He gets so much hate thats just sad bcz he has never said anything to anyone personally. Also that hate is manufactured bcz some of the nitpicking and opinions are plain stupid, those clearly shows that people hate him for sake of hating. I hope more people think and start treating him like other directors I mean everyone has good and bad movies but not everyone is hated like Zack. I hope more and more people treat him nice bcz he is nicest and happiest human beings out in Hollywood. Thanks for reading.

With that said, you can say the hate goes too often into petty, downright insulting areas. Because it does. People cross a line when they go from criticism to insults. It's half of why talking about Snyder is such a shitshow these days. People are either making dangerously horrendous insults towards him, or worshipping him to such a degree that no criticism at all is allowed. Which leaves people like me who think Snyder is "fine" being the ones who pay the price, because we have BOTH sides of that on our asses.

What you're witnessing ladies and gentlemen is a room filled with 3 legends who took comicbook movies to their pinnacle state. 💛

[@Scorpio6466]

It's good that Zack is doing his thing at Netflix. Can't believe all of this started just because WB decided to cut 30 mins from BvS. And they still haven't learnt their lesson after putting out movies like BoP, WW84, Black Adam and Shazam 2

[@yusufkhalifamusa8419]

I didn't know that Zack actually graduated with Larry Fong and Clay Staub. I always thought they were just good friends that met through work

[@dhruv1607]

oh my god OH MY God. Three legends of CBMs ♥️😱😍✨ #RestoreTheSnyderverse

[@peterburman5193]

The man, the myth, the legend! Zack Snyder is the GOAT!!

[@rajkumarmoitra1200]

I just watched full 1 hours 4 minutes interview can't wait for part two.... Thank you Russo Brothers for inviting Zack Snyder....❤🔥

[@Whaddayamean13]

Zack explaining exactly what I loved about the Bruce/Lois storyline. It was like a woman who starts dating the best friend of her husband who died as a firefighter in 9/11. Two people pulling each other out of grief. Not that ridiculous. It's a very human and complex arc.

[@Andy-ef2on]

Or Terry and Wanda in Spawn

[@tonysnyder9]

Sounds similar to another Affleck movie 😂

[@Diegorskysp17]

It would have added a level of drama that you seldom see in superhero movies nowadays (it was kinda usual to see love triangles in the early 00s... see X-Men) and would have been a welcome addition, IMO. However, speaking for myself, I'm more of a WonderBat dude, so I don't really miss that part haha.

[@northwindkey]

The problem was timespan. There’s not enough time in between BvS and ZSJL for that romance to work. Maybe the OG JL script before March 2016 had more time between them.

Greeting from Hong Kong #RestoreTheSnyderVerse

It’s funny how directors appreciate Zack Snyder for being different, yet there is people out there talking shit on the man’s name not even seeing a movie by him. It’s like, you don’t watch Red Dragon for the jokes, almost no complaints on that movie, for what it is. Zack has a specific tone, and it’s very imaginative and badass and actually unique, should be praised for what he does. Russo Bros are the same. They’re different. But both are great to watch the way they enact their content. I dnt look for jokes in their movies. I just appreciate their works for what they are.

[@AstaIsAMonster]

I really enjoy Zack movies and thanks Russo brothers for interviewing him. MOS 9.510 💪🏽 BVSUE 8.5/10 🙌🏽 ZSJL 9/10 🙌🏽

[@guywgane3]

I could listen to all three of them for 4 semesters.

[@CharlieSheen943]

Zack snyder is a genius. ZSJL and MOS are among the top 5 comic book movies of all time.

[@genisysprime2384]

Oh I love em both. They're so awesome and rewatchable movies

[@lilbigfan3782]

The dark knight 2008 is the best movie, but I don’t consider that as a comic book movie since it doesn’t feel like comic Batman movie.

[@BenyaminLorit]

Absolute gem of a conversation. So much insight and enthusiasm for the art. If only movie fans online were just as in love with the process of filmmaking and have the artistic side of it be the center of the conversations rather than just dwelling on box office & critical reception or arguing about which franchise they like better, we'd have far better movies and online communities all around.

[@Kmass]

As a new director and recent graduate of film school this is an amazing thing to watch. I'm a huge fan of both Zack & Russo Brothers

[@vincesaligue5963]

Everything Zack did was a masterpiece. Hoping he will get back or do more DC movies.

[@McobraR]

Wow, 3 of my favourite comic book movie directors in the same room. Definitely added to my watch list! My favourite comic book films in no order. CA: TWS A:IW Man of Steel BvS ZSJL

[@McobraR]

@Paraone Ngatai wow same list as mine, definitely one with taste ;).

[@mbldnd]

great taste

[@heavenoheck9664]

Great list! TWS was the biggest MCU surprise since IM1 for me and IW felt way more hype than EG overall IMO.

[@a7000zo]

My list: 1. Zack Snyder's Justice League 2. CA: The Winter Soldier 3. Man of Steel 4. Batman v Superman UE 5. Avengers Endgame 6. CA: Civil War 7. Avengers Infinity War

[@McobraR]

@Heaven O'Heck agree. I forgot to add the first GotG on my list. CA:TWS and GotG came out at the time when people thought comic book movies were running out of steam.... but damn those 2 movies changed things up and were a breath of much needed fresh air (especially in the MCU).

[@PredatorH2O]

I'm way too late to this legendary moment of history.

[@paulmin4792]

God imagine the film we could get if these 3 worked together

[@comicsnerd7284]

I love Zack Snyder, this has been a very enjoyable and educational watch.❤ Can't wait for Rebel Moon! I just know that it's going to be remarkable 🔥

[@FacundoNicolasmartinezAndroid]

The truth is that this is a gift not only for a student of a film school but for anyone who enjoys the art of making movies, enjoying and imagining at least what it is like to direct huge and massive projects, it is a privilege to see this type of content, they make one feel grateful. Thanks for this brothers Russo and Zack for sharing their experiences. This is simply gold.
