Stopped reading at this part. I don't like BvS but I cannot stand when people say this.
The click bait negative dc articles have been in overdrive the last week.
They hate to see DC win
SS still tearing up the box office as we speak.
As was vacation.
You can poke a lot of holes in this dumb shyt.
Like @Jello Biafra said it sounds like weird angry ramblings of a nerd throwing a hissy fit.
And the hobbit films while middling made a shyt ton of money.
'Suicide Squad' Is the Most Divisive Superhero Movie in Modern History
Fans have the exact opposite reaction than the critics.
The biggest difference between critical and fan reaction in cbm history. 2nd place being BVS.

I read the letter on neogaf yesterday and while it did mention synder fukking up bvs it's not about the money it accumulated there's alot in the letter about the Warner Bros. current president himself... Kevin Tsujihara and how he has fukked up the warners legacy of making crappy movies and how the hard working employees have to suffer for it. The letter is very enlightening.
A lot of fans might be angry (and rightfully so) because you keep completely whiffing at properties that they are desperate to love and enjoy, but this is a little more personal for me. See, I am a former Warner Bros employee. I have so much respect for your studio. I love every square inch of that magical backlot, from Stars Hollow to the fitness center I always meant to use. The people I worked with during my time with your company are now close friends. On my last day, I hugged them and I told them I loved them.
I was also there in 2014, when you made the decision to lay off 10 percent of your workforce. It was a terrible year. Let me catch you up: Every morning I woke up with a pit in my stomach, because I assumed that would be the day I lost my job. Every day I saw someone packing up their desk, or carrying a box to their car. I can not describe to you the relief I felt when my department was told we were safe, or the guilt I felt afterwards walking through the halls of my office with that relief.
That year we pursued the storytelling vision of Adam Sandler's Blended and Clint Eastwood's Jersey Boys. Failures. We pursued a potentially great summer movie like Edge of Tomorrow and completely botched its release. Same with Man From UNCLE. We dug in our heels and hoped The Hobbit Trilogy would somehow stop being a mediocre case of diminishing returns. Talented, loyal people packed their boxes and went home while your story tellers dropped the ball.
And here we are. I got back from my screening and dusted this sucker off. You, your executive team, and the vision of your 'extraordinary storytellers' that resulted in the loss of around one thousand jobs seem intent on crashing the ship into as much shyt as you can find in the ocean by making inane decisions over and over again.
Zack Snyder is not delivering. Is he being punished? Assistants who were doing fantastic work certainly were. People in finance and in marketing and in IT. They had no say in a movie called Batman V Superman only having 8 minutes of Batman fighting Superman in it, that ends because their moms have the same name. Snyder is a producer on every DC movie. He is still directing Justice League. He is being rewarded with more opportunity to get more people laid off. I'm assuming you yourself haven't been financially affected in any real way. You and your studio are the biggest lesson about life one can learn: The top screws up and the bottom suffers. Peter Jackson phones it in and a marketing supervisor has to figure out a plan B for house payments.
You just don't get it. And it's not just DC movies, it's your whole slate. Jupiter Ascending. Get Hard. Hot Pursuit. Max. Vacation. Pan. Point Break. fukking PAN, you jerk.People lost their jobs and you decided Pan was a good idea. You think another Jungle Book is a good idea.
What are you even doing? I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn't be such a mess. Don't try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it's another mess.It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.

The sad thing is mouth breathers are going to run with this letter as gospel and now the media will spin off into scraping for any negative thing they can find about wonder woman.
At this point these outlets are going to start writing articles about negative dc youtube comments.
