"Visually rich but emotionally hollow" just about sums up the Snyder ouvre. I do like some of his movies, but when adapting a work he often either misses the point or ignores it entirely (though the paratext suggests the former haha).

Many thanks to James Woodall for teaching me the term "paratext". ✌🏻

Edit: Fixed some things. I should never comment before coffee. ☕

Thank you Zack Snyder for 300 and Watchmen, two series that have now gained serious pop culture relevance outside of comic books.

I appreciate you Zack Snyder for your interesting interpretation of Superman.

Zack, you failed to understand Justice League. Every time I see Avengers merch, I fantasize a world where Justice League had the same relevance.
