Cyborg/Victor Stone & Flash/Barry Allen vastly improved compared with JL:TC.
Clark interactions with Lois & Martha, Martha-MM interactions with Lois much improved over the "thirsty" & "smell good" banters.
Batman at least back to normal & not just goofy fella in JL:TC.
Aquaman - not much development except for the interactions with Vulko & Mera which was meant to setup the Aquaman solo by Wan.
Diana back to being a consistent character from BvS & WW, unlike the whiplash in WW84. Definite different from the JL:TC where she bore the brunt of Whedon sexist objectifying & was slow-ass warrior.
Cyborg- Aagreed, Whedon butchered him good. Poor Ray.
Batman- Yeah better than Whedon's jokey Batman but also MUCH better than Snyder's own psychotic version. Whedon seemed to try and correct a horribly misinterpreted Snyder Batman but ended up over-correcting.
Clark - Disagree, fake lip and silly one liners aside, Whedon's Superman seems to be happy to be alive and is a stark contrast to Snyder's mopey, emo version, nihilistic version. And btw the
"smell good" line is Snyder's not Whedon's and I personally would take a silly line like "itchy" over "no one stays good in this world" because while the former is just a throwaway dumb line, the latter is a nihilistic line that goes against the whole "symbol of hope" that Snyder supposedly wanted us to see .
Also IMO MM's interaction with Lois as Martha is just as stupid and unnecessary as S.Trevor taking over someone else's body to come back to life.
Aquaman- I thought Arthur's
tough but caring portrayal was much better than Whedon's version, which is actually Snyder's version chopped up.
WW- Disagree, I thought Diana's brutality in Snyder's version was jarring when compared with Jenkins's portrayal in WW1. In the first WW movie she wasn't a soft touch by any means but seeing her needlessly blow the **** out of that museum wall just to take out the villain was
very Zack Snyder i.e. pointless and is just there because it looks
"cool"
They totally ruined Flash in the Whedon cut. In the Snyder cut he has some of the most epic moments and saves. One of my favorite ones was him keeping the debris from landing on the hostages.
But it was equally epic watching him going superspeed to get Cyborg into the Motherbox. And then him going crazy superspeed to reverse the Unity.
Flash was a complete 180 for me in this, but then he also needed it the most and they definitely pulled it off for me. I can even forgive the dog pound scene.
Disagree, Flash was more or less the same, a light hearted every man (or kid) trying to save his dad from an injustice.
Whedon's
brunch scene is silly but Flash's interaction with Batman
"just save one" was excellent. I also think the "high Barry I'm Diana" fell flat while Barry's
Hat scene with Arthur was chuckle worthy. So it's back and forth between Snyder and Whedon.
To be honest Barry doing
Superman the movie and saving the world by reversing time is silly but I forgave Donner for doing it and will forgive Snyder also, not to mention the fact that seeing the 2 characters that are either underused (Cyborg) or haven't gotten their own solo yet (Barry) save the day was cool.
