Zack Snyder fans successfully orchestrated a campaign to get Warner Bros.’ attention and convince the studio to release Zack Snyder’s director’s cut version of
Justice League—which turned into the extremely expensive and marginally improved
Zack Snyder’s Justice League—proving once and for all that if a fanbase is loud enough and pushy enough, they can make any ridiculous dream a reality (provided their dream coincides with a movie studio feeling an overwhelming sense of desperation over how much Content is available on its new streaming platform). The point is: They did it. It worked. They tweeted enough hashtags and got in enough people’s replies and made so much noise that Warner Bros. decided that it actually made sense to throw millions and millions of dollars at shutting them up (but in a nice way). Now… it’s happening again.
