Hey Eric, I asked this in your Dr. Strange video, but I thought I'd ask it here since it's seemed more relevant this time around. But have you seen MauLer's video on ZSJL? If so what are your thoughts on it? I'm just asking because he had some critical things to say about the movie to say the least as well as some points of criticism towards why people are praising it and you being someone who really enjoyed it, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that video. This isn't me trying to sh*t on you at all, I typically really enjoy your stuff and am a subscriber of yours, but I was just curious about thoughts on it if you had any. Also do you think you'll do a vs video between ZSJL and BVS? That'd be a suggestion I'd give to you for future videos.
“You only need to watch two movies (Man of Steel and BVS) to see ZSJL” I think this would work, but I’d argue the experience is WAY more meaningful if you watch Wonder Woman 2017
I'm looking forward to the day I can watch MoS, BvS UE, the Ayercut of SS, WW and ZSJL in a marathon. I've got a feeling that's going to be an almost unbeatable cbm viewing experience.
@@gatsbygoodwood2575 the one problem I find with that is when Alfred says there have been "no attacks" since Batman talked to Luthor. absolutely no mention of what happened at Midway City at the end of Suicide Squad. if anything, I hope the Ayer Cut contains the explanation as to why the whole situation with Enchantress and Incubus (or Steppenwolf) managed to fly under the radar.
@@sunsetman22 I have my own head canon about that whole thing, and that is that Suicide Squad would take place more or less concurrently with ZSJL. We don't know when exactly Steppenwolf attacked Themyscira, and for all we know, it could hage been during the 6-12 month period between BvS and ZSJL. That leaves plenty of time for Steppenwolf to do whatever he does in the Ayer Cut with the box of Man (the one Cyborg always has), and then have the box be returned to S.T.A.R. Labs and in turn, Cyborg. Hell, for all we know, that could happen BEFORE he attacks Themyscira. As I was recently re-informed, Zeus hid Themyscira from the Earth, meaning that when Steppenwolf went there, he might not have known it was Earth in the firdt place. Darkseid only battled on Themyscira in the history scene, so he, too probably didn't know Themyscira was Earth. And, assuming they leave mother boxes on more than one planet at a time (which they probably do, considering the fact that Steppenwolf and Darkseid have been rampaging across the galaxy conquering hundreds of thousands of worlds), it's possible that if he found the box of Man before the box the Amazons, that he didn't know they were on the same planet. So, with all this set up, we can have the Ayer Cut take place during the time gap, have Steppenwolf find the box of Man, getdefeated by the Squad, have the box return to S.T.A.R. Labs and be given to Silas and then Cyborg, and then have ZSJL play out and have Steppenwolf take the boxes of both the Amazons and rhe Atlanteans, discover that Themyscira is on Earth and the Anti-life is also on Earth, and then go find the box of Man. I feel like I didn't explain this as well as I could have, but I hope you get the gist of the it. It might not work or make sense in the actual timeline of the films, but in my head, that's how it happens. But then again, I believe that the Steppenwolf thing was just the original idea for Suicide Squad and was later changed after Steppenwolf was included in Justice League. So it's possible that David Ayer's Suicide Squad doesn't even have Steppenwolf in it.
Essentially, ZSJL feels like a movie that was ripped straight out of a comic book in terms of its color, tone, and dynamic action scenes. Then again, Zack's color palette style has always added a sort of dreamlike state that I feel works well for CBMs, especially 300, Watchmen, and ZSJL. Now, I will argue that there are character moments for most of the characters, such as Black Widow silently admitting to Hawkeye that Loki's words got to her, Tony and Bruce's dialogue, and Fury's scenes with them. However, as a writer, Joss is better working with characters than working with action, and he's a TV director more than a movie one. He did have some creative fight sequences, but there was no way he'd beat Zack in terms of spectacle, dynamic combat, and sheer heaviness.
Thats why i hate when people bitch about zacks slo mo, zack is a comic book nerd just like alot of the fans, and people dont realize the slo mo is the translation of comic book “splash pages”.....ive always said snyder dosent make “superhero” movies, he makes “comic book” movies, truley
As a massive fan of DC comics the Snyder trilogy is far less faithful to the comics, and in most cases wildly more disrespectful to the iconic characters than anything in the first couple MCU phases.
@@jbbrolic no unless you don't know the DC multiverse and you only read one batman storyline cause Superman isn't meant to be the Superman you know dceu is more like the origins stories and also sometimes managing can help a help like the batman Lois child or break like actually bringing batman second of the movies in the verse
Honestly, the difference between both movies is exactly why I love both. DC has always had the reputation of being larger than life while Marvel has always seemed to be more subtle, and closer to the dull everyday struggle for the heroes. I like that Marvel heroes feel more petty in comparison to the DC heroes. It makes sense the that the conflict in Avengers feels less intense than the one in ZSJL. If both were the exact same, than there is no creativity involved. It works and I'm happy we get to be spoiled by both of them
This. And there's a lot more to unpack than "Loki weak; Steppenwolf strong". Like you said, the DCEU was about more now, bigger now, while the MCU took a longer road with an intervening Avengers film between Avengers 1 and Infinity War. They had been a more gradual upping of the stacks for them.
@@ElvenRaptor That is the same in the comics. Its just a difference in power level. Its like comparing Naruto Shippuden to Dragon Ball Z. DC has always had a bigger power level from both heroes and villains. That's why Marvel failed in the 90s and had to sell their IP to big studios. They had always lacked to ridiculous grandeur of DC, whether it was bad or good.
Despite my love for the first avengers film, Zack Snyder’s justice league will always be one of my favorites. The experience I had and the expertise of how well made this film is simply amazing. From the breathtaking visuals, stunning cinematography, top-notch special effects, incredible directing and phenomenal acting to the drama, serious tone, intelligent story and deeply compelling characterizations of all the main characters. Also delivering one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard and some badass action sequences. There’s also countless details which includes parallels, Easter eggs, references, symbology and imagery which I find absolutely fascinating. The cast was perfect and the rewatch value of the film is high. Ironically time flies by swiftly with this flick. This is why I believe Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a true work of art. 9.8/10.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is one of the closest films to my heart. The visuals, the story, the emotional weight, the magnificent soundtrack and background score by tom holkenborg, the acting, the level of epicness it emits and the level of struggle the hardcore and never giving up dc fans and Zack Snyder went through makes it one of my most favourite movies till date. Even after one year of its release and watching it 8 times I still can't believe that a man like Zack Snyder exists in this very world who can make every single moment of a freakin' 4 hour long movie interesting, meaningful and intriguing. Even movies like the hobbit, the lord of the rings and the irishman which are at least half an hour shorter than zsjl become boring but this masterpiece just never disappoints no matter how many times you watch it. Movies like Avengers Infinity War, Avengers Endgame, Spider-Man No Way Home, The Dark Knight and Zack Snyder's Justice League are in a league of their own. This masterpiece is one of the best live-action superhero ensemble movie and one of the best superhero movies and hands down the best justice league movie (including animated and josstice league) till date.
@@aleclessard7670 Is it longer than the 3 hours? In all honesty, Snyder's style just doesn't appeal. I know some people like it and that's fine. It isn't for me.
I will say though, in defense of the argument scene from The Avengers, it was heavily implied that the mind stone (which is theorized to have a will of its own) was influencing each of them by heightening their emotions in that moment. Hell, Banner wasn't even aware that he was holding it in his own hand.
Even if that was the idea, the dialogues and way they were delivered doesn't really sell that idea. Edit : What I tried to mean by that statement, that the "idea" of the mind stone manipulating didn't really meant a lot in the scope of the movie. The most damage it does that the Avengers quarreling for a bit and that's it. If you remove that whole "manipulating" thing, the story doesn't change any way.
@@rajarshisantra8203What the hell are you talking about? It was SO obvious the stone manipulated them that even my dear old grandmother picked up on it.
Man Of Steel was deep enough for me to love and understand Superman. Before that i always had a mixed feeling about this character. But MoS really showed me what made Clark Kent Superman and the struggles he had to face throughout his life while trying to find his identity and purpose in this world. He feels more human and relatable which was lacking in previous iterations. This movie gave me a new insight towards superheroes, especially Superman.
@@dreademperor2094But some people were too dumb to understand that. They are living in the world of spoon-fed content. So they expected this one to be the same. Same thing with BvS(ultimate edition) as well. A criminally misunderstood and underrated movie. Its not flawless but it's easily an 8/10 movie which laid foundation to ZSJL.
@@indrajithk2561 yeah, when I watched the ultimate edition I knew he was trying to tell a story but I didn't know what it was leading up to until I saw the Snyder Cut that's when I finally saw what he was building up to and now I want to see his vision completed with Justice League 2 and 3
@@dreademperor2094 yea imagine if idiot WB wud have just not messed with bvs n JL n let UE and ZSJL “be” the theatrical releases like zack wanted, they wud prob have theyre “mcu” money theyve been chasing few years ago, and a more respectable DCEU today, the problem was never zack, they just used him as scapegoat to cover up theyre own hack mistakes, the PROBLEM was wb overreacting n not giving a universe 1 movie in time to breath n gain legs🤦♂️
Here's the thing, I liked avengers. But, just looking at these clips side by side it's almost embarrassing how much more visually beautiful justice league is... It's such a heavy and important feeling film. Like a living graphic novel
I don't have any word to express how accurate your take on both of these movies. We even have the same opinion on the villains, especially Loki's ungodly treatment
I agree Infinity war is the greatest avengers movie of all time. And I also agree with the majority of the points you made with avengers versus Zack Snyder's Justice League.
@@GaParanormal theres 5 movies leading up to Avengers and w DC you "only have to watch 2"... thats not an objective reason for am ensemblen movie to be better. And tho he says all these things as fact.. theyre still mostly just his opinion... just saying the recruiting in Justice League is better... or that Loki is lame... or something just IS when its actually based on his own singular subjective opinion. Nevermind more than one time he leans on a sentiment(for example) of "I genuinely thought"... thats literally basing it wholly in just what he thinks. Not fact. Just cuz he says it does not make it so. Even w some semblance of objectivity. Much of it is argumentative rhetoric... "I also found the characters...."... his opinion is not a fact. Nevermind that many examples many feel diametrically opposed to what he thinks. "Happened at an inappropriate time". He doesnt suggest why... he just says it... yet people love the movie(Avengers) so... inappropriate? Again... cuz he said so? Doesnt work that way.
@@DeathbySkullfxxx you’re totally right. I like ZSJL but the avengers is a better movie. Better directing, writing, acting, editing, pacing and is just more fun, which is what a teamup movie should be.
Infinity War shafted a lot of characters and still had those dumb jokes they like to throw in every 10 minutes. It’s a great film but I’d say even Endgame is better and IW isn’t as great as everyone says it is.
As someone who have never had an issue with Avengers, still is one of my favorite comicbook movies, and yeah maybe you are a little harsh.......but I can see your points here as valid, specially comparing this film with Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE, if was a fight between Joss Whedon JL vs Avengers yeah I would go with Avengers, but Zack Snyder version is sooo much superior in all ways, I actually think stand up even vs films like Infinity War (not saying is better, just that in a vs fight, both sides will get points), JL Snyder cut is an amazing beautiful film, and the developed of the characters, the villain, the music, the action the cinematography is just on a whole different level compared with Avengers, so as an AVENGERS 1 FAN, I can say, JL is the better movie, I totally agree.
I would put freaking Catwoman over Josstice League. Heck, Morbius and Fantastic Four (the 2015 one) also have their chance to go over Josstice League for me
And Cyborg is truly the superhero of our era. He can plug himself into the Internet, manipulate things inside. He could make himself richer than Bruce Wayne if he wishes too, but he didn't. That's my hero.
Huh, let me help you: ZSJL by far! 😅 I don't even understand how you can love both at the same time with Aquaman looking as much as a bad Marvel rip-off ; I'll never understand how people can accept this giant cartoonesque story happening in the same universe as MoS and Bv2! But eh, everyone has the right to enjoy what he wants I guess... :)
Both movies are great movies when you consider the time they release. Avengers feels very 2010s (released in 2012) and ZS justice league feels more fitting with what we currently have on TV and film.
You need to also consider they got 4years to collect feedback from the fans to redo some of the stories and learn from the funny cut@@misterwizardman4309
I’m glad you finally made another Vs video of ZSJL! Thank you Eric! I love your superhero videos the most! Especially The Batman, ZSJL, and Spider-Man. Really, you are very appreciated!
18:25 honestly, I think Transformers: Dark of the Moon is very underrated and the climactic action scene is probably in my top five action scenes, especially when Michael Bay got people in wing suits to actually fly over a city which Micheal Bay then digitally changed to make the city more destroyed and of course, add more explosions
@@Jetix34 That’s your own personal opinion it ain’t a fact, I loved the first trilogy especially DOTM probably one of my fav transformers films especially the 3rd act climax way better than bumblebee IMO even tho that’s high up there on my list as well.
@@nqz1594 DOTM has the best story in the entire 5 movies. I think it’s better than 1 IMO. Sentinel Prime, is probably the best antagonist because he actually a threat and has a clear motivation that he’s just homesick and wants his species to live on their planet again, better than the downgraded megatron lol
The thing with The Avengers is that when it came out is was a pretty big deal and it seemed like a big deal but when I go back and watch it now it doesn't feel like it mainly cuz of movies like IW,ZSJL,ENDGAME etc the movie itself doesn't feel like it the shots feel like a tv show not every shot but many of the shots are generic atleast to me. The movie came out when we never had a big superhero team up on big screen so it felt great but rewatching it now it feels decent, not really great and not really bad like it just served it's purpose for more greater films.
@@Madbandit77 there's clear difference between different superheroes coming together and an already formed team lead by a wise man xd like doom patrol,teen titans,x-men and JSA
6:53 This is the BIGGEST thing that average viewers overlook, and it really bugs me. The whole arc of Batman was to show he was going bad in BvS, but turned good at the end and remained good in this movie. He was always meant to not be that killer we saw
18:24 TF Dark of the Moon has one of the best final action set pieces of all time. The whole final hour of the film is just a giant action scene made up of many many different/unique action scenes intergrated into the 1 hour battle. Hate Bay all you want, but his action/Choreography and Special Effects were fucking amazing in the TF movies, DOTM especially.
I gotta say, as much as I love Avengers, and as much as Marvel guy I am, I definitely think that Zack Snyder's Justice League is better. I personally prefer how and why the Justice League get together than how the Avengers get together. Each member is going through their own pain and trauma, so when they get together, truly together, you feel glad for not only the world being saved, but you feel happy for the Justice League Members themselves for getting through their problems. It felt like an overall more emotional, serious and purposeful story. I'm gonna say it, ZSJL is one of my favourite CB movies of a time, and definitely my personal top 3 favourite DC movies overall. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse
@I'm a clown Yes but ZSJL was also supposed to be a setup for future DCEU movies. Too bad WB cancelled Batfleck, Ryan Choi's Atom and changed the entire script of The Flash.
@@user-utshi9ha thats now what he was saying he was saying that it would have been cool if the diractors found a way to amke tony and cap recruit the avengers
No, it doesn't, because Tony had a "go it alone" attitude at the time and Cap was still getting used to living in the 20th Century, and had zero connections.
@@ethanrobert342 Justice League star Ray Fisher came forward with accusations against the director saying he created a toxic work environment on set calling Whedon's treatment of the cast and crew “gross, abusive, unprofessional.Buffy and Angel actress Charisma Carpenter followed, detailing her experience enduring mental and emotional abuse from Whedon.Since then, other actors, writers, and crew members, including Gal Gadot and Michelle Trachtenberg, have opened up about what it was like working with the director.
I think zack snyder justice league wins, it's just better in cinamatogerphy, storytelling, but the avengers cool to, I watched it when I was a kid, still has a soft spot for it, but I still like the snyder cut more, it just has better stakes, and a better villain, hes terrifying
Same I watched The first Avengers when I was a kid but I didn’t find it memorable It’s is obviously slow and I’m actually not a big fan of the avengers that much and I’m also not a big Iron man, Thor, and black widow, especially Iron man in my opinion and yes I know tony stark has a good sense of humour but I don’t like that he shows off and I think he’s a bit too good but still I’m not a big fan of Iron man, but there’s 3 or 4 heroes that I liked and that is Captain America, Hawkeye, nick fury and the hulk and that’s it so yea
@@infiniteapex8762 Justice League literally had no stakes. The Russian family in the Whedon cut is the closest that movie gets to having anything worth caring about.
@@ericericson5633 so yiur saying the world literally being destroyed, isnt a stake? Or if the mother box touch the water, the whole world gonna parish isnt a stake, then I dont know what is, you can keep your whedon cut, and I keep the snyder cut.
There is a simplicity to the first Avengers that I find charming over the one Avengers movies that feel less self contained. I feel you could watch first Avengers without any of the other movies prior and still get close to the same enjoyment out of it. I know it’s popular now to hate Whedon and while The Avengers is not perfect(as you said it kind of looks like an expensive tv show), it still set the bar for shared universes going forward for better or worse. It was a first and that novelty was a big deal. That’s probably why Age of Ultron was somewhat underwhelming for some people. The only way Marvel could recapture that magic was to raise the stakes and the scope with Infinity War and Endgame. In any case, I think it’s a really good film with a simple setup, fun action and engaging characters and banter. It’s a shame Marvel afterwards went over board with the Whedonification of everything and I say as someone who likes Whedon overall. However even though I am not the biggest fan of Snyder’s Man of Steel or BVS, I loved his Justice League to my surprise..It felt like a giant comic book issue. An epic comic book rock opera. It has all the excesses that come with Snyder(slow motion, music video needle drops, self indulgent, self important), but here I kind of loved it. Just the sheer audacity of this 4 hour movie. The story is refreshingly simple after how convoluted BVS was and the movie is able to breathe allowing for actual character development which is usually not Snyder’s strong suit. This allows the big moments(emotional and visual) to land more. While I wish the film had more color, it is beautifully and stylistically shot. Junkie XL’s score is sweeping. The humor surprisingly lands and yet it’s never overbearing. It’s reasonably well paced despite it’s runtime and once again it gives it that epic feel. I never would have guessed Snyder was actually capable of making a heroic film, but I guess he wasn’t lying implying BVS was the dawn of justice. Excluding the Joker unnecessary epilogue, the ending montage hit me hard and this is the Justice League film I was hoping for. I always thought Whedon was the better storyteller and Snyder the better filmmaker, but this might have changed my mind.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is a textbook example of terrible storytelling. Two hours into the movie and they're still introducing new things. No normal person is ever going to sit through that. The first act of the movie is over two hours. Not releasing this trainwreck in cinemas is the smartest thing WB has ever done.
@@ericericson5633 well I mean, millions of completely normal people sat through the 4 hours of the masterpiece. And it’s a slower pace bc it’s a 4 hour movie which means things take their time. It’s ok kiddo, you can go watch an hour of cocomelon if you’d like… no one cares for your opinion
@@ericericson5633 It was always meant to be a 2 part film though. Then Warner came in and said, no Zack, make it one movie. And he did. Then they said, no Zack, make it 2 hours long.
The truth is that Zack Snyder's Justice League has a level of epicity much higher than that of the first Avengers, so much so that the moment in which the Flash makes use of the speed force reaches the same level of epicity as the snap of Tony Stark in End Game.

The shot of the avengers finally alll assembled is more iconic than anything in ZSJL and I actually like that movie but come on. Lets not rewrite history now. Also that one shot, single take that should all the avengers working together is cooler than anything in that movie as well.
Possibly but that depends on what metrics you're using to judge. Those two movies are so different in vision and the way they make people feel. Tonal quality is just as big an issue in movies now, along with story telling. I got what Snyder was trying to do with JL but BVS set a bad template that I believe poisoned the viewing public's perception of his take on DC. Again, my opinion.
@@themaxster7798 BvS was very misunderstood, and I think the Ultimate Edition really fixes a lot of the problems that the theatrical release one had because that extra time allows you to understand what's going on much better. And you get the characters motivations better as well. It's personally one of my favorite superhero movies, but that's just my opinion :)
Snyder’s JL would’ve been a huge hit had it been released in theatres. The scale of the movie felt huge and it would’ve surprisingly blown people away I think. Like the Amazon fight scene is crazy and the opening credits was such a cool way to open a movie and it literally picks up right after BvS. Steppenwolf would’ve surprised a lot of people too on how powerful and brutal he was. I mean the black suit and flash reversing time all would’ve made people jump and cheer in a packed theater. Though besides these movies being their first outing as a team, I think IW would’ve been a better comparison bc the stories are pretty much the same.
There's only 1 thing that I'd argue, and it's primarily because I'm a bit of a completionist. I'd argue that the extended edition of SS and the solo WW film should be viewed in addition to MOS and BvS(Ultimate Edition). I suggest this for 1 explaining Diana's backstory as well as a concept that is utilized when Steppenwolf is killed(only a god can kill another God, so Diana could decapitate Steppenwolf). 2 introducing Harley(who Knightmare Bruce refrences) and the Joker(who they show in that Knightmare).
All I can say is Joss Whedon. Take him out of the filming/directing process, and your movie is already that much better. Great video! I enjoy both movies, but ZSJL is on another level. How messed up that WB wanted to copy what Whedon was doing with Avengers and Zack Snyder's cut was looked at as the inferior product? #RestoreTheSnyderVerse
@@jeffcunningham0389 Actually yes. The Avengers looked like a TV movie. While Ultron was decently shot, it failed storywise. Both Whedon's Avengers were mediocre and thank god for the Russos!
@@aakashsaini2184 lol the first avengers is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Even Quentin Tarantino loves it as his favorite of the mcu. But you know more than him
The DCEU has one of the saddest legacies ever as a franchise. There are so many terrific films like Aquaman, Shazam, The Suicide Squad and the first Wonder Woman. And yet because of their poor creative choices during their first five years whether it’s the quality of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman or them meddling in movies like Justice League, most people are going to see this franchise as a failure and the amount of bad press caused by actors like Ezra Miller and Amber Heard have only made DC’s reputation infinitely worse.
DC having a problematic reputation is something to be excepted because unlike marvel they are not obsessed with capitalizing the family friendly and formulaic "happy to go lucky" content(WB are, but not the creative side of the DC). The creative choices of MoS and BvS are really not that damaging once they are put in the context of the entire franchise and they are very wrongly criticized for reasons based on either bias or simple misunderstanding.
My story of the 1st Avengers movie, When I was 9 years old I saw Ironman 1 in the theater and loved it, saw Incredible Hulk on DVD and liked it. Then I skipped out on the rest of the movies, not knowing they were connected, and found it strange that Rob Downey was at the end of Hulk and was confused why when my dad pointed it out. I did not watch Avengers in the theater when I was 13, because I only liked and knew Ironman and Hulk. No Spiderman, and no idea who the villains were. So rather than experiencing this epic movie with confusion, I missed out on it. When I finally watched it on DVD, I loved it
This video is amazing, it's true that if you look at both zack snyder's justice league and avengers 1, zack snyder justice league has more themes and more story behind it and more indepth character moments and arcs. but Justice league probably wouldnt have been possible of avengers hadn't come before it.I also think justice league is visually stunning there are scenes in justice league that I would love to put on my background.

As an MCU fan i've been watched Zack Snyder's justice league and i gonna say ZSJL is WAY far better than The Avenger 2012 even a snyder cut could beat the whole avenger 2012 movie (imo)
@@themaxster7798 I strongly disagree. I’ll take ZSJL any day over IW and pretty much every Avengers film combined. IW still has that crap marvel humor and shafted characters that deserved spotlight like Vision. It’s nowhere near as good as a lot of people are saying.
I gave my copy of Avengers to my kids when I tried to rewatch it a third time, and just couldn't concentrate... no longer interested in that style of film making, I guess? However, I've rewatched ZSJL half a dozen times, and it just improves every time. Same with Infinity War... Watching the film a second time on disc was almost painful, but it was a fairly good laugh at the cinema. MCU films are pretty good fun first time round, but imho they're not robust enough for repeated viewings. One of my requirements from a great film is its longevity in rewatching it many times over.
Totally agree, I struggle to rewatch an MCU movie whereas I could rewatch DC media many times. Whatever era it may be, DC films always have a sense of rewatch ability.
Truth it is very difficult to rewatch infinity war ... infinity war is great movie but mcu movies are only one time watch for me except iron man1,3 🤩...i love iron man 1,3
Cap and Iron Man recruiting a team, what a brilliant thought! P.S Im genuinely agree with everything you said, ZS Justice League is in a class of Infinity War kind of movie, as flash said one of the best of the best.
That doesn't even make any sense. At the time, iron man worked alone and even declined joining the avengers at the end of iron man 2. Hell, in the beginning of avengers 1 he didn't even want to meet with coulson. As for cap, he just became unfrozen
@@BESTMOAD ok. But I think they’re both really good. One thing JL has over avengers is that Steppenwolf wins (reminds me of when thanos won) then flash used speed hacks to turn back time (like endgame). And you’re def just saying that because he said ZSJL is better
I’m gonna have to say Justice League is FAR BETTER and it’s not even close. The Avengers isn’t a bad film. Not at all, but it’s only good for a couple of laughs and an epic battle. And I don’t care what the common opinion is on this, I’ll watch Man of Steel and Batman v Superman any day over most of the 5 movies that lead up to The Avengers (only one that’s great is Iron Man which is way better than The Avengers movie itself). Avengers can be a great film, but man Justice League just gave us an amazingly put together film. Hell I’ll watch Justice League over any of the Avengers films (yes even over IW and Endgame).
@Eric Carter, Mario Puzo's The Godfather will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary next week. So, I thought you could do Mario Puzo's The Godfather VS Scarface (1932, 1983) video.
Age of ulton is much much better. I don't think AOU is even a bad movie. It's overstuffed especially trying to plant seeds for future movies which caused them to go off rail from the main plot of the movie but overall, it handled itself decently all things considered. JL 2017 was just awful in every way.
Zack is a master of beautiful shots and cinematography 300 and watchmen being peak Zack Snyder awesomeness, While Joss has some bland looking movies as much as I liked the Avengers the movie does look oversaturated
Most adults wouldn't watch Zack Snyder films because the action has no point. The Avengers focused getting civilians to safety and Zack Snyder's Justice League focused on punching the CGI. Only the very immature liked Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Avengers movie was first of its kind. It was the first time something to this extent ever happened. So they were really going for a light hearted superhero crossover spectacle where they obviously didn't wanna go too deep and make it any kind of depressing. So for what it was set to do, it did its job well and beyond and prove that it's really possible to make an universe and be successful. And the movie overall was so much fun. But JL was a better overall movie
fun fact there is a darker version of avengers where movie starts with maria hill talking to council , and including cap's time in new future, and ending with maria hill speech instead of nick fury
Here is one thing that makes ZSJL better. In avengers the climax is kinda underwhelming. Which is meant to be the most exciting part. So it didn’t feel like a climax. While ZSJL had a climax that was the best part of the movie. Which is saying al lot. It actually felt like what a climax to a story should be.
The Avengers SHOWS US civilians in danger so the heroes get the chance to be heroes. Zack Snyder's Justice League is just a big mess of CGI diarrhea. Why am I supposed to care what happens to anyone when I can't see what they're fighting for?
@@ericericson5633 why should I care about them again? There not important they prove nothing to the story XD,you need a better taste in movie directing so here is a little lesson: if you want people to actually feel for characters make the memerable and actually important (something that Zack does perfectly) and not make a complete mess with CGI like what wedon did...but ofc your not gonna listen be and be a stubborn lil kid that takes info from the internet so yeah
@@ericericson5633 so you missed Cyborg's vision on what will happen if the Unity gets activated? With the whole world being destroyed? That's what is at stake. Also the lives of the heroes, so we care for them. We even see them die and if it wasn't because of Flash and Cyborg at that point, they would have lost.
Thats bullshit. ZSJL is a great climax but so was the Avengers. That was the first of its kind and I still believe its better and more FUN than ZSJL. Theres literally nothing underwhelming about it unless u already want to dislike it
@@jeffcunningham0389 I'd say that one thing that was underwhelming to me on the climax was that the Chitauri troops never felt like a threat and more of a thing for the heroes to do cool stunts. Which they were really cool but it is against a bunch of creatures that never really hurt any of the Avengers or put them at risk. On the other hand we see the Parademons killing Amazons, dragging Atlantians out of the sea, hurting Flash twice and almost killing Batman at the chase scene. They do feel like a threat because you see stakes. Plus, the Steppenwolf fights Vs Loki barely doing anything.
The Avengers(2012): Superhero movie with light hearted tone, jokes, banter, great action and good cinematography but less character development & arcs, lack of storytelling and unfair treatment of main characters(Only Loki got better character development because of Tom Hiddleston's performance). Zack Snyder's Justice League: Superhero movie with flawed yet deep understanding, dark & serious tone, great cinematography and better storytelling but had show deeper character development & arcs of each main characters, Steppenwolf and Darkseid were both scary and more intimidating villains & a redemption not just heroes but also Zack Snyder himself(Your daughter will so proud of you, Mr. Snyder).
I don't think it would be fair to compare ZSJL with IF like you did with the first Avengers film. They're very different films. One is supposed to be the beginning of a team up and an over arching storyline BUILDING UP to Darkseid, and the other is a a near culmination of almost 10 years worth of films with the pay off of building to Thanos in it.
Thank you for comparing these two films. Whether you love or hate either one, I got so tired of people trying to compare ZSJL to IW, or Endgame, when this was literally the DC equivalent of the first Avengers movie.
Like how people comparing The dark Knight and The Batman. Where The dark Knight is a sequel to Batman begins and The Batman first entry in it's series. Also I don't like comparing The Batman and no way home for obvious reasons.
@@SathishKumar-sk8fe Yeah, especially No Way Home. I mean, if there was a film with multiple live action Batmen(like the upcoming flash film) that might be comparable to NWH.
@@dosomestuff1949 he means the avengers movie was the first ever big team up movie from preestablished characters, justice league is made after many team up movies have already been made so it has more to take notes from.
@@EricCarter12 but I don't know if this was the right time man, of you had released back then Zack Snyder was trending so it would have gotten you way more views compared to what you'll get by uploading it now..
I disagree with just one thing you said, that MoS and BvS aren't deep. As you also said, there are a lot of things that can be analyzed in both movies.
"It did feel a little contrived for the heroes to start turning on each other." "To turn on each other felt very out of place for them." ....uh, no shit. Did you seriously never notice why this is? It's because Loki's scepter held the Mind Stone. Because of their proximity, the stone was influencing their minds and causing them to turn on each other. There's even a shot focused on the scepter with the Avengers arguing in the background, to visually show that the scepter was turning them against each other... How could you have missed this???
Because the guy who did this video lacks any objectivity whatsoever. He’s obviously a huge DC fan. The man can’t recognize that what the MCU has done is the greatest serial filmmaking ever been performed.
Awe shut your crybaby marvel fanboy ass up! You idiots act like people can't prefer dc movies to marvel movies like the entire world is supposed to just pick marvel movies automatically. Gtfoh! I can't believe the fucking arrogance of you marvel fans bitching because some people like ZSJL over the avengers and can actually criticize marvel without always kissing their ass! The avengers is a weaker movie in every damn way, especially with their weak ass villains like Loki, who was always a joke in that movie!
@@RenzoBC lol you seem to have responded to the wrong comment because none of your accusations are even slightly valid. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and tastes, and I never suggested otherwise. You, on the other hand, expose yourself as a hypocrite by immediately displaying the behavior you accuse others of engaging in. 🙄
The Avengers didnt age well, it was already an ugly as fuck looking movie even back in 2012 compared to other big blockbusters like The Dark Knight Rises and Prometheus, the thing looked like a TV movie at times carried by the novelty of watching all these characters togheter for the first time. It not just a 2012 thing, most Marvel movies are ugly as fuck, its pretty telling when your 2021 Spider Man movie looks worse compared to movie made in 2004 about the same character, the only ones with any sort of good visuals are James Gunn Guardians movies.
but what nonsense you say Avengers 1 was the beginning of something big and for Marvel it was a mega success, 1.5 billion in 2012 when that movie came out and it has aged like a glove while the Justice League, a 4 hour movie to add an hour of footage that the movie Avengers 1 has to spare, is far superior because the Avengers were already introduced in their individual movies and then reunited and faced the threat that was Loki and the Chitauri
I love both of these films, but Avengers will always hold a place in my heart. It's the first MCU film I saw in theaters way before I even knew what a MCU was, heck I didn't even know Avengers was part of a cinematic universe at the time. EDIT: Hearing your points about the Avengers you have to remember when Avengers came out when Marvel and other companies were still figuring out this whole cinematic universe thing. While ZSJL came out at a time where cinematic universes where already a thing.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) is a gift to humanity. A powerful piece of 7th Art able to generate such an unbeatable, yet human catharsis; only present in every sublime piece of classical artistry capable of making anyone shed in tears. 🔗🌍 Few Masters still follow such ancient teachings & traditions in crafting to portrait a modern epos. 💥🦾 The title is capable of reaching the soul and making us reconsider the world in which so many people share this existencial plane, while each one of them follow their own rules, manners & values. ⏳💀 Straight to the point, we seek to protect our children for them to inherit the keys of this realm, and shape it in the correct form we could not. ⚜ That is the core between lines, how individually and in collectively we tried our best, but failed due to our natural and spiritual barriers; the ego. It is the reason why the father dedicated his work to Autumn. 🍁🍂
The Snyder cut is far more interesting and entertaining than the first avengers. But I do think that the first avengers was a good first movie for the avengers
I believe SHIELD makes a huge difference. Avengers has this tone where this huge corporation, this 'official' sort of organisation, has control over the world's current state and they're putting these heroes together as a job and beyond it being a big potential global catastrophe, it still feels like another day of corporate job. ZSJL is Batman, alone, being tormented by this thing Luthor said, what he saw in Luthor's hard drive, after seeing Doomsday almost obliviate the world in a couple hours. He's so worried that he's actively looking to make a team with these strangers he knows nothing about, desperately even. When everything happens just feels like these 6 heroes are always on their own, Steppenwolf's base is in a place without humans for years, no one around the world really knows how close they are from extinction and they are giving their everything for everyone. It's just so much richer emotionally, they're alone against the oldest and darkest power in the universe and they stand proud. You can almost feel that pride yourself when watching the movie, incredibly immersive
If only Zack Snyders Justice League existed in 2017. The problem is, the DCEU will always carry the baggage of Josstice League on it's shoulders which ruined the DCEU moving forward. And they also needed a second chance to make a better movie than Avengers. Marvels Avengers didn't need a second chance, their first impression was their best and that's why the MCU is very successful to this very day.
The MCU will always reign supreme because of one man, and one man only. Kevin Feige. Anybody that knows anything about filmmaking recognizes what he has done is nothing short of groundbreaking. He’s a unicorn. If only the WB had someone like him to steer their universe. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a mess.
Thanks for the video, Eric. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like you don't release as many videos as before, maybe because you're busy, but again, that's probably just me.

Hey Eric. Did you see the film 'King Richard'?
Hey Eric, I asked this in your Dr. Strange video, but I thought I'd ask it here since it's seemed more relevant this time around. But have you seen MauLer's video on ZSJL? If so what are your thoughts on it? I'm just asking because he had some critical things to say about the movie to say the least as well as some points of criticism towards why people are praising it and you being someone who really enjoyed it, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that video. This isn't me trying to sh*t on you at all, I typically really enjoy your stuff and am a subscriber of yours, but I was just curious about thoughts on it if you had any. Also do you think you'll do a vs video between ZSJL and BVS? That'd be a suggestion I'd give to you for future videos.
Do Suicide Squad 2016 vs the Suicide Squad 2021
What if The Russo Brothers directed the first Avengers Movie and Age of Ultron?
@@etabiansosin Then it would have been better
“You only need to watch two movies (Man of Steel and BVS) to see ZSJL” I think this would work, but I’d argue the experience is WAY more meaningful if you watch Wonder Woman 2017
I'm looking forward to the day I can watch MoS, BvS UE, the Ayercut of SS, WW and ZSJL in a marathon. I've got a feeling that's going to be an almost unbeatable cbm viewing experience.
@@gatsbygoodwood2575 there was actually a Stepphenwolf that was leak or something I think
@@gatsbygoodwood2575 the Ayer cut would be good if using ZSJL Steppenwolf for consistency sake.
@@gatsbygoodwood2575 the one problem I find with that is when Alfred says there have been "no attacks" since Batman talked to Luthor. absolutely no mention of what happened at Midway City at the end of Suicide Squad. if anything, I hope the Ayer Cut contains the explanation as to why the whole situation with Enchantress and Incubus (or Steppenwolf) managed to fly under the radar.
@@sunsetman22 I have my own head canon about that whole thing, and that is that Suicide Squad would take place more or less concurrently with ZSJL. We don't know when exactly Steppenwolf attacked Themyscira, and for all we know, it could hage been during the 6-12 month period between BvS and ZSJL. That leaves plenty of time for Steppenwolf to do whatever he does in the Ayer Cut with the box of Man (the one Cyborg always has), and then have the box be returned to S.T.A.R. Labs and in turn, Cyborg.
Hell, for all we know, that could happen BEFORE he attacks Themyscira. As I was recently re-informed, Zeus hid Themyscira from the Earth, meaning that when Steppenwolf went there, he might not have known it was Earth in the firdt place. Darkseid only battled on Themyscira in the history scene, so he, too probably didn't know Themyscira was Earth. And, assuming they leave mother boxes on more than one planet at a time (which they probably do, considering the fact that Steppenwolf and Darkseid have been rampaging across the galaxy conquering hundreds of thousands of worlds), it's possible that if he found the box of Man before the box the Amazons, that he didn't know they were on the same planet.
So, with all this set up, we can have the Ayer Cut take place during the time gap, have Steppenwolf find the box of Man, getdefeated by the Squad, have the box return to S.T.A.R. Labs and be given to Silas and then Cyborg, and then have ZSJL play out and have Steppenwolf take the boxes of both the Amazons and rhe Atlanteans, discover that Themyscira is on Earth and the Anti-life is also on Earth, and then go find the box of Man.
I feel like I didn't explain this as well as I could have, but I hope you get the gist of the it. It might not work or make sense in the actual timeline of the films, but in my head, that's how it happens. But then again, I believe that the Steppenwolf thing was just the original idea for Suicide Squad and was later changed after Steppenwolf was included in Justice League. So it's possible that David Ayer's Suicide Squad doesn't even have Steppenwolf in it.
Essentially, ZSJL feels like a movie that was ripped straight out of a comic book in terms of its color, tone, and dynamic action scenes. Then again, Zack's color palette style has always added a sort of dreamlike state that I feel works well for CBMs, especially 300, Watchmen, and ZSJL.
Now, I will argue that there are character moments for most of the characters, such as Black Widow silently admitting to Hawkeye that Loki's words got to her, Tony and Bruce's dialogue, and Fury's scenes with them. However, as a writer, Joss is better working with characters than working with action, and he's a TV director more than a movie one. He did have some creative fight sequences, but there was no way he'd beat Zack in terms of spectacle, dynamic combat, and sheer heaviness.
Thats why i hate when people bitch about zacks slo mo, zack is a comic book nerd just like alot of the fans, and people dont realize the slo mo is the translation of comic book “splash pages”.....ive always said snyder dosent make “superhero” movies, he makes “comic book” movies, truley
When isn't a superhero movie ripped off straight from a comic book
As a massive fan of DC comics the Snyder trilogy is far less faithful to the comics, and in most cases wildly more disrespectful to the iconic characters than anything in the first couple MCU phases.
@@jbbrolic no unless you don't know the DC multiverse and you only read one batman storyline cause Superman isn't meant to be the Superman you know dceu is more like the origins stories and also sometimes managing can help a help like the batman Lois child or break like actually bringing batman second of the movies in the verse

Honestly, the difference between both movies is exactly why I love both. DC has always had the reputation of being larger than life while Marvel has always seemed to be more subtle, and closer to the dull everyday struggle for the heroes. I like that Marvel heroes feel more petty in comparison to the DC heroes. It makes sense the that the conflict in Avengers feels less intense than the one in ZSJL. If both were the exact same, than there is no creativity involved. It works and I'm happy we get to be spoiled by both of them
This. And there's a lot more to unpack than "Loki weak; Steppenwolf strong". Like you said, the DCEU was about more now, bigger now, while the MCU took a longer road with an intervening Avengers film between Avengers 1 and Infinity War. They had been a more gradual upping of the stacks for them.
@@ElvenRaptor exactly! Well put my friend
@@Nomad-1993 Thank you!
@@ElvenRaptor That is the same in the comics. Its just a difference in power level. Its like comparing Naruto Shippuden to Dragon Ball Z. DC has always had a bigger power level from both heroes and villains. That's why Marvel failed in the 90s and had to sell their IP to big studios. They had always lacked to ridiculous grandeur of DC, whether it was bad or good.
@@Strato_Casterrr9898 Agreed.
Despite my love for the first avengers film, Zack Snyder’s justice league will always be one of my favorites. The experience I had and the expertise of how well made this film is simply amazing. From the breathtaking visuals, stunning cinematography, top-notch special effects, incredible directing and phenomenal acting to the drama, serious tone, intelligent story and deeply compelling characterizations of all the main characters. Also delivering one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard and some badass action sequences. There’s also countless details which includes parallels, Easter eggs, references, symbology and imagery which I find absolutely fascinating. The cast was perfect and the rewatch value of the film is high. Ironically time flies by swiftly with this flick. This is why I believe Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a true work of art. 9.8/10.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is one of the closest films to my heart. The visuals, the story, the emotional weight, the magnificent soundtrack and background score by tom holkenborg, the acting, the level of epicness it emits and the level of struggle the hardcore and never giving up dc fans and Zack Snyder went through makes it one of my most favourite movies till date. Even after one year of its release and watching it 8 times I still can't believe that a man like Zack Snyder exists in this very world who can make every single moment of a freakin' 4 hour long movie interesting, meaningful and intriguing. Even movies like the hobbit, the lord of the rings and the irishman which are at least half an hour shorter than zsjl become boring but this masterpiece just never disappoints no matter how many times you watch it. Movies like Avengers Infinity War, Avengers Endgame, Spider-Man No Way Home, The Dark Knight and Zack Snyder's Justice League are in a league of their own. This masterpiece is one of the best live-action superhero ensemble movie and one of the best superhero movies and hands down the best justice league movie (including animated and josstice league) till date.
Too bad the same can't be said of BVS. It's unfocused, overly dark, inconsistent, has terrible dialogue, illogical character motivations and bad CGI.
I'm assuming you have not seen the ultimate edition of the film which is quite a bit better than the theatrical cut.
@@aleclessard7670 Is it longer than the 3 hours?
In all honesty, Snyder's style just doesn't appeal. I know some people like it and that's fine. It isn't for me.
@@themaxster7798 wrong. It appeals, its just some people like u dont like it
I will say though, in defense of the argument scene from The Avengers, it was heavily implied that the mind stone (which is theorized to have a will of its own) was influencing each of them by heightening their emotions in that moment. Hell, Banner wasn't even aware that he was holding it in his own hand.
That's what it look like to me as well.
Even if that was the idea, the dialogues and way they were delivered doesn't really sell that idea.
Edit : What I tried to mean by that statement, that the "idea" of the mind stone manipulating didn't really meant a lot in the scope of the movie. The most damage it does that the Avengers quarreling for a bit and that's it. If you remove that whole "manipulating" thing, the story doesn't change any way.
Then in the next Avengers movie they continue to fight amongst each other
@@rajarshisantra8203 But the camera movement clearly tells us that Loki's scepter is doing this to them. Pay attention 😭
@@rajarshisantra8203What the hell are you talking about? It was SO obvious the stone manipulated them that even my dear old grandmother picked up on it.
Man Of Steel was deep enough for me to love and understand Superman. Before that i always had a mixed feeling about this character. But MoS really showed me what made Clark Kent Superman and the struggles he had to face throughout his life while trying to find his identity and purpose in this world. He feels more human and relatable which was lacking in previous iterations. This movie gave me a new insight towards superheroes, especially Superman.
I liked how Man of Steel was just the beginning of his journey to becoming the Superman we all know

As someone who have never had an issue with Avengers, still is one of my favorite comicbook movies, and yeah maybe you are a little harsh.......but I can see your points here as valid, specially comparing this film with Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE, if was a fight between Joss Whedon JL vs Avengers yeah I would go with Avengers, but Zack Snyder version is sooo much superior in all ways, I actually think stand up even vs films like Infinity War (not saying is better, just that in a vs fight, both sides will get points), JL Snyder cut is an amazing beautiful film, and the developed of the characters, the villain, the music, the action the cinematography is just on a whole different level compared with Avengers, so as an AVENGERS 1 FAN, I can say, JL is the better movie, I totally agree.

The movie came out when we never had a big superhero team up on big screen so it felt great but rewatching it now it feels decent, not really great and not really bad like it just served it's purpose for more greater films.

The whole final hour of the film is just a giant action scene made up of many many different/unique action scenes intergrated into the 1 hour battle.
Hate Bay all you want, but his action/Choreography and Special Effects were fucking amazing in the TF movies, DOTM especially.
Well Bay Hated his transformers movies and Parasite kept on pestering him to make more. He wanted to stop after dark of the moon
Damn that scene with gaint worm decepticon destroying the building and our heroes in it. That was pure awesomeness.
I always thought the final battle of TF3 was superior to the one in Avengers.
I gotta say, as much as I love Avengers, and as much as Marvel guy I am, I definitely think that Zack Snyder's Justice League is better.
I personally prefer how and why the Justice League get together than how the Avengers get together.
Each member is going through their own pain and trauma, so when they get together, truly together, you feel glad for not only the world being saved, but you feel happy for the Justice League Members themselves for getting through their problems.
It felt like an overall more emotional, serious and purposeful story.
I'm gonna say it, ZSJL is one of my favourite CB movies of a time, and definitely my personal top 3 favourite DC movies overall.

I think zack snyder justice league wins, it's just better in cinamatogerphy, storytelling, but the avengers cool to, I watched it when I was a kid, still has a soft spot for it, but I still like the snyder cut more, it just has better stakes, and a better villain, hes terrifying
Same I watched The first Avengers when I was a kid but I didn’t find it memorable It’s is obviously slow and I’m actually not a big fan of the avengers that much and I’m also not a big Iron man, Thor, and black widow, especially Iron man in my opinion and yes I know tony stark has a good sense of humour but I don’t like that he shows off and I think he’s a bit too good but still I’m not a big fan of Iron man, but there’s 3 or 4 heroes that I liked and that is Captain America, Hawkeye, nick fury and the hulk and that’s it so yea
Better stakes? Wtf u talkin about
@@adityadutta2391 I'm saying the stakes were handled better
@@infiniteapex8762 Justice League literally had no stakes. The Russian family in the Whedon cut is the closest that movie gets to having anything worth caring about.
@@ericericson5633 so yiur saying the world literally being destroyed, isnt a stake? Or if the mother box touch the water, the whole world gonna parish isnt a stake, then I dont know what is, you can keep your whedon cut, and I keep the snyder cut.
There is a simplicity to the first Avengers that I find charming over the one Avengers movies that feel less self contained. I feel you could watch first Avengers without any of the other movies prior and still get close to the same enjoyment out of it. I know it’s popular now to hate Whedon and while The Avengers is not perfect(as you said it kind of looks like an expensive tv show), it still set the bar for shared universes going forward for better or worse. It was a first and that novelty was a big deal. That’s probably why Age of Ultron was somewhat underwhelming for some people. The only way Marvel could recapture that magic was to raise the stakes and the scope with Infinity War and Endgame. In any case, I think it’s a really good film with a simple setup, fun action and engaging characters and banter. It’s a shame Marvel afterwards went over board with the Whedonification of everything and I say as someone who likes Whedon overall.
However even though I am not the biggest fan of Snyder’s Man of Steel or BVS, I loved his Justice League to my surprise..It felt like a giant comic book issue. An epic comic book rock opera. It has all the excesses that come with Snyder(slow motion, music video needle drops, self indulgent, self important), but here I kind of loved it. Just the sheer audacity of this 4 hour movie. The story is refreshingly simple after how convoluted BVS was and the movie is able to breathe allowing for actual character development which is usually not Snyder’s strong suit. This allows the big moments(emotional and visual) to land more. While I wish the film had more color, it is beautifully and stylistically shot. Junkie XL’s score is sweeping. The humor surprisingly lands and yet it’s never overbearing. It’s reasonably well paced despite it’s runtime and once again it gives it that epic feel. I never would have guessed Snyder was actually capable of making a heroic film, but I guess he wasn’t lying implying BVS was the dawn of justice. Excluding the Joker unnecessary epilogue, the ending montage hit me hard and this is the Justice League film I was hoping for.
I always thought Whedon was the better storyteller and Snyder the better filmmaker, but this might have changed my mind.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is a textbook example of terrible storytelling. Two hours into the movie and they're still introducing new things. No normal person is ever going to sit through that. The first act of the movie is over two hours. Not releasing this trainwreck in cinemas is the smartest thing WB has ever done.
@@ericericson5633 well I mean, millions of completely normal people sat through the 4 hours of the masterpiece. And it’s a slower pace bc it’s a 4 hour movie which means things take their time. It’s ok kiddo, you can go watch an hour of cocomelon if you’d like… no one cares for your opinion
biggest thing about BVS it basically what do world is now right like cancelling and many more
@@ericericson5633 Bruh literally every dc fan has watched it and loved it so shut up
@@ericericson5633 It was always meant to be a 2 part film though.
Then Warner came in and said, no Zack, make it one movie.
And he did.
Then they said, no Zack, make it 2 hours long.
The truth is that Zack Snyder's Justice League has a level of epicity much higher than that of the first Avengers, so much so that the moment in which the Flash makes use of the speed force reaches the same level of epicity as the snap of Tony Stark in End Game.
I don’t agree the iron man snap wasn’t exciting at all. I think the entrance were every comes is the most exciting in endgame

The shot of the avengers finally alll assembled is more iconic than anything in ZSJL and I actually like that movie but come on. Lets not rewrite history now. Also that one shot, single take that should all the avengers working together is cooler than anything in that movie as well.
I feel like Zack also knows the character's powers and abilities better, especially with Flash's speed and the water manipulation bit
I 100% agree Zack Snyder justice league is the better movie.
Possibly but that depends on what metrics you're using to judge. Those two movies are so different in vision and the way they make people feel. Tonal quality is just as big an issue in movies now, along with story telling. I got what Snyder was trying to do with JL but BVS set a bad template that I believe poisoned the viewing public's perception of his take on DC. Again, my opinion.
@@themaxster7798 true.
@@themaxster7798 BvS was very misunderstood, and I think the Ultimate Edition really fixes a lot of the problems that the theatrical release one had because that extra time allows you to understand what's going on much better. And you get the characters motivations better as well. It's personally one of my favorite superhero movies, but that's just my opinion :)
Snyder’s JL would’ve been a huge hit had it been released in theatres. The scale of the movie felt huge and it would’ve surprisingly blown people away I think. Like the Amazon fight scene is crazy and the opening credits was such a cool way to open a movie and it literally picks up right after BvS. Steppenwolf would’ve surprised a lot of people too on how powerful and brutal he was. I mean the black suit and flash reversing time all would’ve made people jump and cheer in a packed theater.
Though besides these movies being their first outing as a team, I think IW would’ve been a better comparison bc the stories are pretty much the same.
There's only 1 thing that I'd argue, and it's primarily because I'm a bit of a completionist. I'd argue that the extended edition of SS and the solo WW film should be viewed in addition to MOS and BvS(Ultimate Edition). I suggest this for 1 explaining Diana's backstory as well as a concept that is utilized when Steppenwolf is killed(only a god can kill another God, so Diana could decapitate Steppenwolf). 2 introducing Harley(who Knightmare Bruce refrences) and the Joker(who they show in that Knightmare).
All I can say is Joss Whedon. Take him out of the filming/directing process, and your movie is already that much better.
Great video! I enjoy both movies, but ZSJL is on another level.
How messed up that WB wanted to copy what Whedon was doing with Avengers and Zack Snyder's cut was looked at as the inferior product?
#RestoreTheSnyderVerse
If you take Whedon away from The Avengers is it better aswell?
@@jeffcunningham0389 Actually yes. The Avengers looked like a TV movie. While Ultron was decently shot, it failed storywise. Both Whedon's Avengers were mediocre and thank god for the Russos!
@@aakashsaini2184 lol the first avengers is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Even Quentin Tarantino loves it as his favorite of the mcu. But you know more than him
The DCEU has one of the saddest legacies ever as a franchise. There are so many terrific films like Aquaman, Shazam, The Suicide Squad and the first Wonder Woman. And yet because of their poor creative choices during their first five years whether it’s the quality of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman or them meddling in movies like Justice League, most people are going to see this franchise as a failure and the amount of bad press caused by actors like Ezra Miller and Amber Heard have only made DC’s reputation infinitely worse.
DC having a problematic reputation is something to be excepted because unlike marvel they are not obsessed with capitalizing the family friendly and formulaic "happy to go lucky" content(WB are, but not the creative side of the DC). The creative choices of MoS and BvS are really not that damaging once they are put in the context of the entire franchise and they are very wrongly criticized for reasons based on either bias or simple misunderstanding.
I love both with my whole soul. They both did what I thought was impossible in my lifetime.
I like both movies, it will be an interesting comparison though
I like The Snyder cut better than The first avengers
Lol
People Got made at Me.
My story of the 1st Avengers movie,
When I was 9 years old I saw Ironman 1 in the theater and loved it, saw Incredible Hulk on DVD and liked it.
Then I skipped out on the rest of the movies, not knowing they were connected, and found it strange that Rob Downey was at the end of Hulk and was confused why when my dad pointed it out.
I did not watch Avengers in the theater when I was 13, because I only liked and knew Ironman and Hulk. No Spiderman, and no idea who the villains were. So rather than experiencing this epic movie with confusion, I missed out on it.
When I finally watched it on DVD, I loved it
This video is amazing, it's true that if you look at both zack snyder's justice league and avengers 1, zack snyder justice league has more themes and more story behind it and more indepth character moments and arcs. but Justice league probably wouldnt have been possible of avengers hadn't come before it.I also think justice league is visually stunning there are scenes in justice league that I would love to put on my background. Oh and I gave the video a like.

As an MCU fan i've been watched Zack Snyder's justice league and i gonna say ZSJL is WAY far better than The Avenger 2012 even a snyder cut could beat the whole avenger 2012 movie (imo)

@@jesuspernia8031 And I strongly disagree with your disagreement. To each their own.
I have been legit waiting for this. Eric has provided. Absolute legend
I gave my copy of Avengers to my kids when I tried to rewatch it a third time, and just couldn't concentrate... no longer interested in that style of film making, I guess? However, I've rewatched ZSJL half a dozen times, and it just improves every time. Same with Infinity War... Watching the film a second time on disc was almost painful, but it was a fairly good laugh at the cinema. MCU films are pretty good fun first time round, but imho they're not robust enough for repeated viewings. One of my requirements from a great film is its longevity in rewatching it many times over.
Totally agree, I struggle to rewatch an MCU movie whereas I could rewatch DC media many times. Whatever era it may be, DC films always have a sense of rewatch ability.
Truth it is very difficult to rewatch infinity war ... infinity war is great movie but mcu movies are only one time watch for me except iron man1,3 🤩...i love iron man 1,3
Cap and Iron Man recruiting a team, what a brilliant thought!
P.S Im genuinely agree with everything you said, ZS Justice League is in a class of Infinity War kind of movie, as flash said one of the best of the best.
That doesn't even make any sense. At the time, iron man worked alone and even declined joining the avengers at the end of iron man 2. Hell, in the beginning of avengers 1 he didn't even want to meet with coulson. As for cap, he just became unfrozen
I think they’re both of equal quality. Neither really makes sense but both are awesome and very different with their own identities
Not at all
Zsjl is faaaar better
@@BESTMOAD ok. But I think they’re both really good. One thing JL has over avengers is that Steppenwolf wins (reminds me of when thanos won) then flash used speed hacks to turn back time (like endgame). And you’re def just saying that because he said ZSJL is better
Nope
I’m gonna have to say Justice League is FAR BETTER and it’s not even close. The Avengers isn’t a bad film. Not at all, but it’s only good for a couple of laughs and an epic battle. And I don’t care what the common opinion is on this, I’ll watch Man of Steel and Batman v Superman any day over most of the 5 movies that lead up to The Avengers (only one that’s great is Iron Man which is way better than The Avengers movie itself). Avengers can be a great film, but man Justice League just gave us an amazingly put together film. Hell I’ll watch Justice League over any of the Avengers films (yes even over IW and Endgame).
I enjoyed MoS and BvS and I think others will too in time.
Like fine wine 😂
Those movies aged so well while the MCU movies don't
@Eric Carter, Mario Puzo's The Godfather will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary next week. So, I thought you could do Mario Puzo's The Godfather VS Scarface (1932, 1983) video.
You should do age of Ultron vs joss whedon justice league
That would be a good comparison imo
Age of ulton is much much better. I don't think AOU is even a bad movie. It's overstuffed especially trying to plant seeds for future movies which caused them to go off rail from the main plot of the movie but overall, it handled itself decently all things considered. JL 2017 was just awful in every way.
Loved both but ZACK'S movie was better in every aspect, especially visually....
You hear that Whedon?
Zack is a master of beautiful shots and cinematography 300 and watchmen being peak Zack Snyder awesomeness, While Joss has some bland looking movies as much as I liked the Avengers the movie does look oversaturated
Most adults wouldn't watch Zack Snyder films because the action has no point. The Avengers focused getting civilians to safety and Zack Snyder's Justice League focused on punching the CGI. Only the very immature liked Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Avengers movie was first of its kind. It was the first time something to this extent ever happened. So they were really going for a light hearted superhero crossover spectacle where they obviously didn't wanna go too deep and make it any kind of depressing. So for what it was set to do, it did its job well and beyond and prove that it's really possible to make an universe and be successful. And the movie overall was so much fun.

It always bugged me that The Avengers never actually did any avenging until Endgame.
Here is one thing that makes ZSJL better. In avengers the climax is kinda underwhelming. Which is meant to be the most exciting part. So it didn’t feel like a climax. While ZSJL had a climax that was the best part of the movie. Which is saying al lot. It actually felt like what a climax to a story should be.
The Avengers SHOWS US civilians in danger so the heroes get the chance to be heroes. Zack Snyder's Justice League is just a big mess of CGI diarrhea. Why am I supposed to care what happens to anyone when I can't see what they're fighting for?
@@ericericson5633 why should I care about them again? There not important they prove nothing to the story XD,you need a better taste in movie directing so here is a little lesson: if you want people to actually feel for characters make the memerable and actually important (something that Zack does perfectly) and not make a complete mess with CGI like what wedon did...but ofc your not gonna listen be and be a stubborn lil kid that takes info from the internet so yeah
@@ericericson5633 so you missed Cyborg's vision on what will happen if the Unity gets activated? With the whole world being destroyed? That's what is at stake. Also the lives of the heroes, so we care for them. We even see them die and if it wasn't because of Flash and Cyborg at that point, they would have lost.
Thats bullshit. ZSJL is a great climax but so was the Avengers. That was the first of its kind and I still believe its better and more FUN than ZSJL. Theres literally nothing underwhelming about it unless u already want to dislike it
@@jeffcunningham0389 I'd say that one thing that was underwhelming to me on the climax was that the Chitauri troops never felt like a threat and more of a thing for the heroes to do cool stunts. Which they were really cool but it is against a bunch of creatures that never really hurt any of the Avengers or put them at risk. On the other hand we see the Parademons killing Amazons, dragging Atlantians out of the sea, hurting Flash twice and almost killing Batman at the chase scene. They do feel like a threat because you see stakes. Plus, the Steppenwolf fights Vs Loki barely doing anything.
The Avengers(2012): Superhero movie with light hearted tone, jokes, banter, great action and good cinematography but less character development & arcs, lack of storytelling and unfair treatment of main characters(Only Loki got better character development because of Tom Hiddleston's performance).
Zack Snyder's Justice League: Superhero movie with flawed yet deep understanding, dark & serious tone, great cinematography and better storytelling but had show deeper character development & arcs of each main characters, Steppenwolf and Darkseid were both scary and more intimidating villains & a redemption not just heroes but also Zack Snyder himself(Your daughter will so proud of you, Mr. Snyder).

I don't think it would be fair to compare ZSJL with IF like you did with the first Avengers film. They're very different films. One is supposed to be the beginning of a team up and an over arching storyline BUILDING UP to Darkseid, and the other is a a near culmination of almost 10 years worth of films with the pay off of building to Thanos in it.

It's because Loki's scepter held the Mind Stone.

The Avengers didnt age well, it was already an ugly as fuck looking movie even back in 2012 compared to other big blockbusters like The Dark Knight Rises and Prometheus, the thing looked like a TV movie at times carried by the novelty of watching all these characters togheter for the first time.
It not just a 2012 thing, most Marvel movies are ugly as fuck, its pretty telling when your 2021 Spider Man movie looks worse compared to movie made in 2004 about the same character, the only ones with any sort of good visuals are James Gunn Guardians movies.
but what nonsense you say Avengers 1 was the beginning of something big and for Marvel it was a mega success, 1.5 billion in 2012 when that movie came out and it has aged like a glove while the Justice League, a 4 hour movie to add an hour of footage that the movie Avengers 1 has to spare, is far superior because the Avengers were already introduced in their individual movies and then reunited and faced the threat that was Loki and the Chitauri

It is the reason why the father dedicated his work to Autumn. 🍁🍂
The Snyder cut is far more interesting and entertaining than the first avengers. But I do think that the first avengers was a good first movie for the avengers
I believe SHIELD makes a huge difference. Avengers has this tone where this huge corporation, this 'official' sort of organisation, has control over the world's current state and they're putting these heroes together as a job and beyond it being a big potential global catastrophe, it still feels like another day of corporate job.
ZSJL is Batman, alone, being tormented by this thing Luthor said, what he saw in Luthor's hard drive, after seeing Doomsday almost obliviate the world in a couple hours. He's so worried that he's actively looking to make a team with these strangers he knows nothing about, desperately even. When everything happens just feels like these 6 heroes are always on their own, Steppenwolf's base is in a place without humans for years, no one around the world really knows how close they are from extinction and they are giving their everything for everyone. It's just so much richer emotionally, they're alone against the oldest and darkest power in the universe and they stand proud. You can almost feel that pride yourself when watching the movie, incredibly immersive
If only Zack Snyders Justice League existed in 2017. The problem is, the DCEU will always carry the baggage of Josstice League on it's shoulders which ruined the DCEU moving forward. And they also needed a second chance to make a better movie than Avengers. Marvels Avengers didn't need a second chance, their first impression was their best and that's why the MCU is very successful to this very day.
Worst part is that WB still considers Josstice League canon.
The MCU will always reign supreme because of one man, and one man only. Kevin Feige. Anybody that knows anything about filmmaking recognizes what he has done is nothing short of groundbreaking.
He’s a unicorn. If only the WB had someone like him to steer their universe. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a mess.
@@bolehew3057 1-3 are good but 4 is trash
Omg the sponsor transition was next level. 💯💯💯
the ad was one point. 🤣this is perfect.
ZSJL > Marvel
Thanks for the video, Eric. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like you don't release as many videos as before, maybe because you're busy, but again, that's probably just me.
Your very welcome buddy. I do upload more often, it's just that I upload other videos in-between and not just versus videos.
They take a long time to make so I have been trying to give you guys some other videos in-between.
There's always additional content that I upload on Patreon too so I'm always there if you want additional content. ;)
@@EricCarter12 Ok. Thank you
@@levlarl1463 And yes I AM a big fan of Total Drama! 😉
@@EricCarter12 Hello again, Eric. I have some new Vs. video ideas:
Who Framed Roger Rabbit vs The Thief and the Cobbler
Lord of the Rings (1978) vs Lord of the Rings (1 and 2)
Hellboy vs Hellboy 2 vs Hellboy remake
Spawn (1997) vs either Hellboy (2004) or Venom
Superman (1978) vs Man of Steel
Planet of the Apes trilogy
Batman (1989) vs Batman Begins vs The Batman (2021)
I'll put more if I find any.
I love both movies!👍👍
10:25 My GOD that's a smart plug in
And I hope you feel like it soon
*Zack Snyder's justice league vs Avengers: Infinity war*
This battle would be legendary. I can't wait to see you do this.
Bro Zack really did the seven samurai formula, I watched the movie last night and you know some of the aspect of Kurosawa are in the movie
Avengers is far superior. Good thing the overwhelming majority agree with me.
Well, that's great. Don't change your opinion for anything. But I watch movies to watch movies, not because there's a majority behind me.
@@mainstreetsaint36 cool
Wow if this video doesn’t sum up all of my feeling regarding these two films. Thanks for taking the time to make it. ZSJL was definitely a far superior film. 1st Avengers has its place in movie history as well for a ton of other reasons.
You Taught Me A Lot About Both Joss Whedon's Avengers & Justice League In Two Videos. I Never Thought Of The Avengers 2012 To Be Flawed Until Now, Compared To Most Phase 4 & 5 Projects Of Marvel These Days.
