Zack Snyder On Showing More Violence In His Version Of Justice League: “These Are Gods Fighting Men”

Zack admits that he added more violence into the flick as he wanted to realistically demonstrate what it would be like when a team of superheroes fight.

Zack Snyder tried to create his version of Justice League like there “was no ratings board”. The filmmaker’s highly expected director’s cut of this DC Extended Universe was released and Zack explained that he had no qualms about increasing the degree of violence against the original 2017 movie.

Speaking to Variety about his team’s thinking on the project, he explained: “it’s a pure exercise in creative freedom. Let’s just do it the exact way we want if there was no ratings board. Let’s not utilize any second guessing. Let’s just do it the way we think is the coolest. That was the philosophical strategy.”

Zack admits that he included more violence into the flick because he wanted to realistically reveal what it would be similar when a team of superheroes fight.

“I constantly believe that the consequence is important to me, that there’s real stakes,” he added. “It still is abstract, you know. These are gods fighting men. Which is also part of the point. We can’t really fight them. Humans can’t really fight them.”

Zack explained that he didn’t want to “sugarcoat” the violence as it would reduce the authenticity of the film.

“In case you don’t address the true violence as violence, to me, you’re lowering the stakes on all levels,” he continued. “When the superhero smashes the car, and the entire car explodes, and you just see the guy kind of crawl out of the wreckage, and you’re like, oh okay, it’s still PG-13, the fact you don’t demonstrate the blood is a technicality.

The violence is still there. I want a true depiction of the violence. I don’t want to sugarcoat it.” (SVB/BAN/DMC). Get the latest updates on koimoi.com
