The religion of Progressivism reigns supreme in Hollywood.
That’s why bad far-left ideas pop up in the entertainment industry so quickly.
But an A-list director went on Joe Rogan’s podcast and pushed back against one “woke” narrative.
Leftists almost never self-reflect.
That’s why they blame others when their bad ideas get rejected.
For example, when woke movies bomb at the box office, Democrats blame so-called “toxic” fans rather than acknowledging the fact that they made a bad film.
But Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zach Snyder recently made an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, and pushed back against that narrative.
Unimaginable tragedy
During production of Justice League, Snyder’s daughter Autumn tragically committed suicide.
Snyder had to abandon the project, and Joss Whedon, director of Marvel’s Avengers, was brought in to complete the film.
Whedon’s version of Justice League was not well-received, and fans were eager to see Snyder’s original vision for the film, colloquially known as the Snyder Cut.
The so-called “toxic” fans who wanted to see the Snyder Cut raised $500,000 for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention.
“It’s cool when, you know – it’s been cool for me that when the fandom and the movie, like in the case of Justice League, they lined up, you know, where these people were like, ‘no – there’s a movie out there that we want to see,’” Snyder told Rogan. “And it’s around a struggle that we had as a family and all of it sort of came together.”
The “Snyder Cut” eventually came out, and received solid reviews from both critics and fans.
Respect for the fans
“People are like, you know, ‘the fandom was toxic’ or whatever,” Snyder continued. “They were like, they were so angry to get the cut… Also, they literally — people’s lives were saved by the money that those kids raised. Like, literal, real, tangible lives were saved by that money that those kids that you call ‘toxic fans.’ They’re also responsible for the saving of lives, and that’s just real. You have to acknowledge it because if you don’t – in some ways, the legacy that they’re able to create is dismissed and I just — I won’t. I can’t.”
“Well, that’s just a reductionist view of things that people always like to apply to things that are controversial, especially when they’re talking about your fans and saying something like they’re toxic,” Rogan responded. “That’s such a dismissive thing.”
“Peoples lives were saved by the money that those kids raised. Like literal lives, real tangible lives were saved by that money that those kids that you would call these “toxic” fans; they’re also responsible for the saving of lives.” –@ZackSnyder 🥹🥹🥹 #RestoreTheSnyderVerse pic.twitter.com/wC9J6S7Mwg

It’s much easier for Hollywood to blame fans than make a good movie.
Snyder showed that fans can be highly supportive as long as they don’t feel like they’re being demonized for no reason.
