Did Joss Whedon sabotage Zack Snyder's 'Justice League'? 'F**k Whedon' trends as DC fandom gets OG version

Snyder had lost his daughter Autumn to suicide and Whedon, after his 'The Avengers' masterpiece, had stepped in as director to complete the movie in 2017

'Zack Snyder's Justice League' has unsurprisingly created a massive buzz on social media. Twitter was filled with DC fans who rejoiced about the enigmatic and the long-awaited Snyder's version of the film. Comprising of new footage, the film was four hours and released on Thursday, March 18, and was met with positive applause. The same though cannot be said for director Joss Whedon who stepped in to complete the movie in Snyder's absence back in 2017.

Snyder had lost his daughter Autumn to suicide and Whedon, after his 'The Avengers' masterpiece, subbed in for Snyder and completed the film that garnered immense flak. With the OG cut now released, fans took to Twitter to blast Whedon for a shoddy job. "Side note, had to pause and say this. F**k Joss Whedon. Seriously, f**k Joss Whedon," read one of the tweets. "I’m totally convinced Joss Whedon sabotaged Justice League on purpose," read another tweet.

"Joss whedon trending because he did a really shit job with a movie that someone else made a much much better version of with the same footage. i'm okay with seeing his name if it's for that reason," one of the comments read. "The #SnyderCut was god-damn awesome and so much better than the Joss Whedon cut, it shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. 4 hours and I didn't look at my phone once! Perfect super-hero movie! Give us more of this please!!!" seconded another.

"Greatest irony is #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague filmed mere weeks after the fallout of Batman v. Superman. There was no real "course correction" needed, the film flows as a natural progression from Man of Steel to BVS. The old suits at WB and Joss Whedon F**KED Justice League," a fan said. "We should all thank @joss for one thing, because he released his steaming pile of crap josstice league, we ended up getting the 4 hour epic that is #SnyderCut," a fan remarked.

The relentless lambasting continued. "Yh f**k Joss Whedon .how can someone butcher a film so badly. This film comes out originally a whole different DC universe takes shape," a fan opined.
