I don't know if anyone is going to read and respond to this comment like at all, but I'm an opinionated windbag who loves Superman and has a passionate hatred of Zack Snyder's oeuvre and the cultists who worship him, so here goes.

The DCEU's employment of Zack Snyder was one of the reasons I wondered if they ever had any intention of making their cinematic universe work or if this was some kind of elaborate Producers-style scheme whose inner workings cannot be fully fathomed by outsiders.

Because first of all, you hire him, an Objectivist who has expressed contempt for idealistic heroes on numerous occasions, to direct a movie about the most idealistic superhero of them all. But okay, that movie has its defenders. I'm not one of them, obviously, but I'll give it that.

Then Snyder directs Batman v. Superman and in doing so, he manages to so screw up an inherently cool premise, messing up on so colossal a scale that it crosses over from being merely a bad movie to "HOW?! How did you screw up this badly?!" Naturally, it becomes a collective cultural punching bag.

Credit where credit is due: this is proof that Zack Snyder has some talent as a director, because screw-ups on this level require more than mere incompetence to happen.

Yet after screwing up that badly, DC was still like, "Let's bring him back to direct our big team-up film."

There are two directors who inspire passionate discussions among geeks on the Internet: Zack Snyder and Michael Bay. And if I'm ever in a "Pick Your Poison" scenario that requires me to have to consume the entire oeuvre of either director or else, I'd pick Michael Bay.

Michael Bay doesn't give a fuck what you think of his movies. He just makes the films he wants to make and goes on with his life, reviews be damned. Plus, his movies wear their stupidity on their sleeve and if given a choice between "Stupid that knows it's stupid and doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is" or the kind of stupid produced by someone who thinks they're being reeeallly smart when in reality, no, they're being very stupid...I'll take my stupidity open and honest, dammit.

Bay also doesn't have a cadre of irritating fanboys who worship him and create elaborate conspiracy theories about how the studios are out to get him and James Gunn's some kind of eeeeevil parasite who brainwashed DC into putting him in charge and his version of the DCEU is doomed to failure, after which DC will admit they were wrong about everything and put him back in charge, you'll see.

Plus, Bay knows how to do pyrotechnics better than anyone else and there's some lizard-brain part of us that goes all "OOOOOOOH!" as shit blows up.
