Again I hope that you check back in once you've seen the film because the comparison even more baffling once you see the actual Snyder Cut and realize all the changes they made to it.
Also the point about the set is a very astute one and, for example, I feel I get a lot more about Fisher's complaint after seeing this as what the Whedon did with Cyborg is beyond comprehension. However, the one actor I'm shocked hasn't spoken up more is Ezra Miller. So, and this is a big claim I'm about to make, Flash's final run the third act is on my short list for greatest superpower moments I've ever seen put on screen. Stunning does not do it justice. So Miller signs on to the film, does the motion capture for it and is sold that epic image.
Then the reshoots are done, where suddenly Barry's sole contribution to the final fight is to push a family to safety in a car, only to instantly have even that small accomplishment undercut by watching Superman fly away an apartment building of people. I can't even begin to imagine what a gut punch that had to have been to deal with.
By the way, as I'm enjoying this discussion, the comparison of Whedon and Snyder because of this film kind of sharpened a theory I've had for a while in that I think one of the issue's with Snyder was in a way due to good he was filming superhero action. This isn't meant as a defense, but rather perhaps how complicated reactions are.
After Man of Steel, which I have no problems admitting is a flawed film no matter how much I liked it, a big constant criticism about it was the destruction caused by the final fight between Superman and Zod. The reaosn I always to comprehend that was that Avengers had come out a year earlier where aliens utterly wreck multiple city blocks in New York City and not only do none of the Avengers seem to actively be minimizing civilan casulties, they cause several of the big flying snakes to crash through apartment buildings. This isn't to argue that people were wrong to dislike MoS, but the lack of consistency in the argument always puzzled me. And now I suspecta partial reason for it might have been that Snyder is so good at capturing that sense of power that there was a more visceral of destruction in MoS than in Avengers where it did in a way feel like a regular action sequence.
