dinah was fun and she sadly gets disappeared fairly early on

Weirdly, the whole, "Why is Green Arrow alive?" thing is never explained in story mode, but it's from the Injustice prequel comics.

In Year 2, Dinah waged war with Superman and was mortally wounded. Dr. Fate decided to hell with this and carried her away to heal up another dimension where her counterpart was dead, but Ollie was alive. He couldn't guarantee that it would work out, but at least gave them the possibility. And it was immediately apparent that, yeah, those two would get along just fine.

The Injustice 2 prequel comic is worth it for the focus on Booster Gold and Ted Kord Blue Beetle. Plus Hal dealing with all the terrible things he had done under Superman's regime.

I genuinely don't understand the logic that they think WB pictures want to destroy the Snyder cut. They're... they're the ones who are releasing it. They spent 70 million + on it. If they wanted to "destroy" the Snyder Cut why are they paying for it? :psyduck:

If anything, if they did leak it deliberately (and I doubt it), it would be to promote the film, not sabotage it. To keep it in the news.

I generally don't like the whole "let's post some rando's bad take" thing that occasionally happens in here but some of those folks actually seem to have decent followings and checkmarks and poo poo, wow. That's... pretty embarrassing.

I'm reminded of whenever some big AAA game gets overhyped into the molten core of the Earth and people start claiming it's going to be like, some transcendent experience that will be the only game they ever need, like with Star Citizen or Cyberpunk 2077. Except here I'm not sure there's even going to be an inevitable reckoning when the product can't live up to the promises they made to themselves. Nothing good can come of tying your identity so thoroughly to a movie that you haven't even seen, even if it ends up being good.

The Snyder Cut weirdos are even stranger to me because they have this idea in their head that Snyder's 'vision' was too much for WB so he left and they hired another director to ruin it, or something. I'm not sure what they will do when this thing actually comes out. The whole premise for them has been that Snyder's version is too good or something.

This is hyperbole for humor. The guy likes the Snyder films but a quick check if his timeline he loves like every superhero film regardless of what company it's all retweets of DC and MCU images and gifs. Like he said the exact same thing about Wandavision

That's like standard advice for any piece of nerd media releasing from fans trying to block out spoilers. There was a huge campaign around Endgame telling people to do the same thing. Now I wouldn't report somebody posting movie leaks because I'm not a narc and also don't care about spoilers but blocking and filling up the hashtag with innocuous stuff is completely standard Twitter behavior.

B) ...I dunno, refer back to A

but I do legitimately wonder how a large throbbing cockup of this sort could've happened. If this sort of thing hadn't happened to a bunch of other streaming services as well before, I probably would be side-eyeing WB about it.

What was the time when it happened with Disney again? Some cartoon led into a horror film or something? I can't remember.

The Snyder Cut Sabotage Conspiracy Theorists on Twitter aren't saying that WB leaked it via the Tom and Jerry glitch to make it look bad, they're saying they must have leaked an unfinished version where some scenes aren't ready and thus look especially bad in order to make it look bad.

And sure, we've got over a week to go until the actual release. But lol when it releases and the pick up shots look the same.

ah yes, WB learned this technique from when Fox purposely sabotaged X-Men Origins Wolverine. It's a very advanced conspiracy that catapulted Fox to becoming the largest movie studio in the world by being absorbed by Disney. This is WBs endgame.

I don't remember that, I know that D+ had a ton of glitches at launch.

As far as streaming in general goes, it's not getting the actual content confused, but Netflix fucks up their descriptions all the time and it's always great

I'm not saying to not watch or anything, but probably temper your expectations. And what I saw was mostly recordings of screens so it's not the highest quality stuff, but some of it was in good quality and it didn't look great.
