LazyPiranha Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Is there any chance that we’re approaching a point where social media movements by and large get ignored? Do we hit a saturation point where corporations are so tired of being trolled that they just disregard it overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that companies will be watching any publicly-released analysis or data regarding the prevalence of bots from the Musk/Twitter lawsuit very carefully just for this reason alone.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Quote What the studio didn’t know at the time was that Snyder had already shot footage in his backyard at the height of the pandemic. I guess that's one way to save on the budget. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Regardless, I'm glad we got the Snyder cut. Weird scenes, overly long, etc. but it's still leagues better than the theatrical cut, and it's always good to see a director's real version of the film come out like any director's cut. Also, the internet gonna internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 My first thought was who would put in the effort to actually do something like that, and the answer seems to be a combination of at least one crazy guy with access to the right resources and Snyder himself. Quote Alethea Group, found that the forsnydercut.com domain — which claims to have made the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut hashtag go viral in May of 2018, and became the landing hub for efforts to bring Snyder back to the helm of the DC universe — was, at least at one point, registered to a person who also ran a now-defunct ad agency which promoted its ability to bring “cheap, instant Avatar traffic to your website.” Rolling Stone spoke with more than 20 people involved with both the original Justice League and Snyder’s cut, most of whom believe that the director was working to manipulate the ongoing campaign. Snyder claims that, “if anyone” was pulling strings on the social media fervor, it was Warner Bros. “trying to leverage my fan base to bolster subscribers to their new streaming service.” But one source maintains, “Zack was like a Lex Luthor wreaking havoc.” My second thought is that I'd love to see the internal metrics for the Snyder cut on HBO Max. Sure, they might have just been curious about exactly what happened with all this, but I'm guessing that someone looked at the ROI for that $100M and wasn't impressed.

Brick Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Sounds like Snyder's relationship with WB overall is rocky after this, hence why he's now doing Netflix movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Another big example of how large swaths of modern society can be influenced by a few people with money, and companies with powerful viral marketing tools all-too-willing to hire out their services.

That is sad I may have missed it, but I read that 13% of accounts were fake, but I didn’t see a breakdown of of what percentage of the posts were from that 13%. If every real user posted 10 times on average and every fake person posted 1,000 times on average that’s a much different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder loses the plot as soon as anything he’s shooting is longer than a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 So I guess we ain’t getting that Ayer Director’s Cut of Suicide Squad now Anything, and I mean anything, would make that movie better. The only good things out of that was that they nailed Amanda Waller and I enjoyed our new Magnum P.I. and his storyline as Diablo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s ok but I’m so attached to what I think Harley should be because of the animated series. Still gotta watch his version of Justice League and have my 4K discs upstairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
