It was studio interference from the onset, everyone already posted the articles explaining it. After Whedon was handed the keys it became apparent that he was making changes to fit his style of film making. Which sucks and is why he can't find a lot of work right now lol

So Whedon being hack and fukkin' up JL has nothing to do with what anyone was talking about. Got it. lol

‘Justice League’: Warner Bros. CEO Reportedly Mandated a Runtime Under 2 Hours

Article from before the movie release.

While some fans were surprised (and even upset) when it was revealed that the runtime for Justice League would be 1 hour and 59 minutes, it appears hitting that number was no accident. In a new report in the Wall Street Journal highlighting the difficult production of Justice League, it’s revealed that Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara made clear that he wanted the superhero movie to come in under two hours. The “mandate” of sorts came in the wake of the bloated 151-minute runtime of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice—which also has an “Ultimate Edition” that runs a full 30 minutes longer.

The filming of Justice League was a unique process. When Geoff Johns and Jon Berg were hired to oversee the DC movie slate and give it a more optimistic tone, their first job was to get with Zack Snyder and screenwriter Chris Terrio to rework Justice League and make it a more hopeful movie. Per WSJ, when Snyder delivered his cut earlier this year, studio executives “felt he had made progress with the lighter elements,” but also felt the movie could use more work. That’s when Joss Whedon was brought in to write scenes for the reshoots, and when Snyder left after his daughter’s death, Whedon directed and oversaw what WSJ describes as “significant” reshoots that brought the budget up to $300 million.

What was it like working with Joss Whedon on the film?
I love Joss Whedon. My scene with Batman was originally conceived as a comedic scene. That’s how Joss wrote it, and that’s how we shot it. I thought it came out great, but the studio felt it would be a mistake to open the film with a completely comedic scene, so it was re-edited a little bit. I was disappointed, but when I got home to New York I found a bottle of my favorite Champagne and a note from Joss that said “To Battles Lost. Gratefully, Joss.” I can’t tell you how much it meant to me that he took the time to write to me. Joss Whedon is a class act. I had the letter framed.

Who fukking cares. Just make good movies

cause this isn't why some were rebooted right? they weren't made

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Of course Whedon wanted to start off with comedy. Fakkit wants everything to be corny one liners with no stakes

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Go watch Justice League (actually don't.. it's trash, I waited months to give it a watch..) and then watch Man of Steel and then try to tell me Whedon isn't a fukking hack

You can think Whedon is a better director, that's your opinion. It just means you're wrong

I was just making a joke to another poster talking about a hack director and other things that had nothing to do with the topic.
