I’ll be honest… at first, I thought Zack Snyder was just a bad storyteller. His movies always felt like they were missing something. I’d sit down all excited to watch, snacks ready, kids finally in bed, and then… it just didn’t land. Characters felt thin, plots felt rushed, and I’d walk away thinking, wow, maybe he’s just not that good.

Then came the Justice League situation. The first version was a disaster everything crammed into two hours, no time to breathe, and zero emotional payoff. But when the Snyder Cut dropped? Totally different story. Four hours of slow build, detail, character depth and suddenly it worked. I went from eye-rolling to actually feeling invested.

That’s when it hit me: Snyder isn’t a poor storyteller. He’s just in the wrong format. He was meant for shows. His whole style mythic pacing, visual symbolism, obsessive detail doesn’t fit inside a standard movie runtime. It needs space. It needs episodes. It needs room for the audience to live in it instead of rushing through it.

Imagine if Justice League had been an HBO series from the start. Weekly episodes, cliffhangers, character arcs that actually have time to matter. It could’ve been superhero Game of Thrones. And honestly? I would’ve been right there, week after week, watching with popcorn in one hand and a baby monitor in the other.

Snyder doesn’t make quick hits; he makes epics. And epics don’t belong in a cramped two hour slot. They belong in long form storytelling, where his attention to detail and world building finally get the justice they deserve.
