stark contrast to Zack Snyder’s vision of the “Man of Steel.” And even if Gunn and Snyder are, by all reports, friends (even trading notes on how best to bring Superman to life on screen), that hasn’t stopped a certain corner of the internet from drawing up its plans for revenge.
Not content with having successfully convincing Warner Bros to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, one viral post on r/Snydercut is drumming up the war plans for how to #ReleaseTheSnyderverse, referring to a plethora of films that would have followed the “Justice League,” both real and imagined. These fans are unhappy that Gunn has scrapped the DC Extended Universe and moved on without their beloved Henry Cavill in the role of Superman, and they’ve devised a plan to “fight for our Snyderverse on the imposter Superman release day” with a three-step plan for how to put the squeeze on “Superman” (kryptonite not required), not even bothering to spell Gunn’s last name correctly:
1. Post spoilers everywhere. People are less likely to see or enjoy the movie if it’s already spoiled
2. Leave bad rating on review sites. We know for sure gunbots will post fake positive reviews so we must let people know the truth and balance the bias out with realistic scores.
3. Reserve tickets online but don’t complete the purchase. By selecting and reserving tickets, it gets taken out of the pool for a period of time which means this has a chance of stopping gunbots from buying tickets
Gun fired the first shot and killed the Snyderverse and here is our chance to take the fight back to him.
No one has a more perfect response to the whole situation than James Gunn himself.
