You haven't seen the movie, so you don't know if it's dumb. It isn't the same as the 2 hour theatrical cut with 2 more hours added on to it. It's almost new footage. They are only using around 25 to 50% of the theatrical cut, so as much as an hour and 30 minutes of the 2 hr theatrical is going away and they're putting in 3.5 hours of new footage.

Yeah, it's basically the same storyline, but with the Snyder Cut it's all about the journey to the end and not the end itself. The big flashback to the battle against Steppenwolfe and Darkseid before he was Darkseid is about 20-30 minutes long in this version instead of the 5 minutes we got in the theatrical, and there will be a team of Green Lanterns instead of just the one. We're getting an entirely different looking final battle (the part with the red sky in Whedon's cut) that will no longer have that horrible red sky, no stupid family in a house, Batman driving around in his Dark Knight Returns tank, Steppenwolfe getting his head cut off and Martian Manhunter showing up at the end to join the team. Willem Dafoe's character from Aquaman is getting put back in along with all of the Atlantis footage that got cut. All of Cyborg's backstory is going back in and amounts to half an hour or more. The 2nd Knightmare which is another half hour or more with Batman fighting alongside Cyborg and Deathstroke in a possible future and having a conversation with a new and improved Leto Joker is another huge sequence. We're even getting the original Wonder Woman bank robbery sequence full version with the bomb going off in the building like in the trailers instead of what we got last time.

This is the same basic storyline but told in a much more satisfying way. It will actually match Man of Steel and BvS tonally and will properly complete Superman's character arc going from an alien being unsure of hmself and where he fits on Earth and ending as the confident hero that they tried to pull of in the Whedon cut. It was a rushed mess missing the heart and soul of the film, and now we get that heart and soul back, and the proper ending to Snyder's Superman Trilogy (because that's what it is at the end of the day...he's said it himself that this is a Superman trilogy about him going from a dark place to a much lighter one and it appears he pulled it off with flying colors).

Gee, now that we seem to already know everything that's going to happen in the movie, why even bother watching it?


Anyway, in regards to these figures: They look like ass. I'm sorry, but even McFarlane is capable of better than this.
