>>11520873The problem wasn't just Snyder.
Goyer, the writer, also wrote a lot of this shit. People credit him as a 'comic book guy' - but he really wasn't. He came up as a production assistant (e.g. gopher) when Geoff Johns was also doing that to pay the bills and, Johns, who at least did grow up reading comic books, helped him get some gigs, including that stupid Superman "Gives Up" His US Citizenship story - Goyer has always been that kind of writer, lazy and into shock twists because he lacks genuine imagination and creativity.
He's lucked into positions, especially now truly failing upwards, in spite of serious misfires like Krypton, because he's learned to hire competent people like for Netflix The Sandman adaptation and also because production studios and the network/streamers have forced it on him.
tl;dr yeah, it was stupid as fuck and pointless to boot
