Zack Snyder is a highly controversial director, with people either loving or hating what he puts out. The Zack Snyder Justice League movie sparked a massive fandom that has divided people, and Rebel Moon has only fanned those fans. A lot of his more controversial decisions can be traced to one movie. It's thanks to one controversial film from the 80s that all of Snyder's films are the way that they are. I revisited this film, and, in doing so, uncovered the blueprint for Zack Snyder -- and why Rebel Moon, the Snyder Cut of Justice League, and even Watchmen are the way that they are. special thanks to https://x.com/ItsmeChrisWade?t=vv-nkPFeFnnra53ra3o7jg&s=09 Chapters: 0:00 Introduction to Excalibur 1:55 Zack Snyder LOVES Excalibur 5:40 Why is Excalibur a Special King Arthur Movie? 7:01 John Boorman, Prior to Excalibur (Lord of the Rings, Zardoz, Exorcist 2) 14:02 Is Excalibur Any Good? 24:26 Is Zack Snyder a Good Writer? 26:46 A Disclaimer Before I Criticize Zack Snyder 29:17 Snyder is a Visual Storyteller at Odds with His Stories 32:24 Snyder's DC Trilogy (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Justice League) 39:20 Rebel Moon is Snyder's Excalibur IN SPACE 41:02 Criticisms of Snyder I Disagree With (Misogyny and Ayn Rand) 44:35 Snyder and Spectacle 46:18 I Go Off-Script and Give You My Honest Snyder Feelings
