X-O posted:What a dumb thing to do. But it's pretty obvious if that's his reaction he didn't actually read the article. Still an idiot. "Sorry for his tragedy, but thrilled he's gone" Nah, pretty obvious he's trying to save face but just made it worse. You can dislike a guy's films, but only a total poo poo would downplay a grieving father's loss in favor of their own, ego-driven opinion. Like I said, gently caress him.

Ignoring the part about Snyder stepping away, what does it say about DC that their go-to replacement is Joss Whedon?

The moral of the story is that trying to come up with reasons why the thing you just said wasn't stupid and lovely inevitably does more to make you a terrible person than whatever you actually said.

From everything that's known about Snyder he's a fantastic guy too. Actors love working with him, he's very respectful of their needs, storyboards his work personally, delviers films on time and at budget, a hard working and efficient craftsman. I would have thought principal filming was done and we were just to editing at this point, but I guess not.

Pickups are just different close ups during dialogue shots, or something like that?

Who finishes it up isn't really important. Hell it isn't important if it's ever finished at all at this point. It's just a movie.

It is a strange quirk of fate that Whedon is now going to be involved in both the Avengers and Justice League movies, but that's a really small part of the story.

Yeah, I just didn't understand that there was context for his involvement and was confused as to why they got "The Avengers Guy" to fill in on their "Totally NOT The Avengers Honest" movie. There really isn't anything new I could say about Snyder's situation so I just wanted to talk about something less horrible.

Yeah. poo poo. This is sad and makes me feel sad.  I'm surprised filming hasn't been completed, to be honest. Feels like they've been at it forever. Heck, we've had two sort-of previews at this point.

I'm sure Whedon will respect whatever tone Snyder was going for. He's very particular about his own stuff but I think he tries to stick to other creators wishes.

It happened in March, has he been off the film since then and they're just announcing it now or did he just soldier on for two months?

Not a huge fan of the direction the DC movies have gone overall, and I'm cautiously optimistic about what Whedon will do with JL, but I'd never wish something like that on someone. I met Snyder and his wife at the Man of Steel world premiere after party years ago and they were nothing but gracious and kind. Didn't blow me off, didn't talk to me forever or anything, but they actually chatted with me for a good 10 minutes before very politely moving on to other well wishers. Decent human beings, terrible turn of events. Wish them all the best.

He's going to film a few small scenes/additional shots that he was hired to do before any of this happened, and then he's going to supervise the editing of the movie so it's as close to what Snyder wanted as is humanly possible. To do anything beyond that would be kind of monstrous.
