being a thoroughly beefy Re-Cut of Justice League in the vein of Snyder's original intent — appears to be a project that Warner Bros. wishes they never greenlit. The recut came into existence as a result of immense fan campaigning, increasingly vocal support from creators involved in the 2017 version, as well as the likes of AT&T and WarnerMedia seeking exclusive content to bolster their then-upcoming streaming service, HBO Max, but they began speaking dismissively of the film (if at all) once it was actually completed and released. WB spokesmen publicly expressed disappointment in the film's metrics (only 36% of HBO Max users finished it, allegedly), failing its purpose to help drive up subscriptions, and insider reports claim that higher-ups felt like they ended up coming out looking weak, investing millions in service of kowtowing to fanboys who wouldn't bring the returns they were looking for (this alleged unwillingness to admit that they were caving into online pressure would likely explain why they made little to no effort in advertising the cut, with HBO Max and its subsidiaries compensating by investing extra hard on Wonder Woman 1984 instead). Their lack of interest in a follow-up only harmed their bottom line further, as the next two years' worth of DCEU films all failed to break even despite being marketed to broader audiences. Ver mais
