New Gods is the new addition to the DCEU.
Ava DuVernay is stepping into the superhero universe. The filmmaker has come on board to direct “New Gods” at Warner Bros. as part of the studio’s DC Extended Universe. “New Gods,” based on the DC Comics series of the same name, is aimed at creating a new universe of properties for the studio.
DuVernay directed Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” becoming the first woman of color in Hollywood to helm a live-action film with a production budget of $100 million.
The New Gods are natives of the twin planets of New Genesis and Apokolips. New Genesis is an idyllic planet ruled by the Highfather, while Apokolips is a dystopia filled with machinery and fire pits ruled by the tyrant Darkseid. New Genesis and Apokolips call themselves gods, living outside of normal time and space in a realm known as the Fourth World.

GR is trying to pimp up her sugar daddy’s crappy film by making it seem more important than it is. She likes to create drama. Well, she’ll be pleased to know that some PJ fans and the feminists, who hated how she made WW pine for decades for ST, want to boycott the ZS cut.
ZS was one of the many producers of WW17 and one of the three men with “story by” next to their name. So why should we assume that WW17 turned better than WW84 because of ZS? RatPack was one of the production companies that helped produce WW17, but WB cut ties with them after the scandal. So someone else had to fill that void. WW84 was horrible. No doubt about that. But ZS’ BvS was worse!
The shill media happened with WW17 too.
Solzy at the Movies: What does this say? It says the studio is being selective in who sees their films early. This isn’t old news. Look at who are the first people to comment on social media. The same thing happened for films like Shazam! and Aquaman. It also happened for the first Wonder Woman film in 2017. The current practices need to change. I will continue to be outspoken for future films getting a day-and-date release. The selectivity in who gets to see a film early for review needs to stop.
So take away those first batch of fake reviews and WW17’s RT score may not be 93%. But I don’t think it would be rotten.
WB doesn’t want anybody to say that a lot of people subscribed to HBOM because of ZSJL.

I think that the higher-ups don’t think that ZSJL can pull in a lot of subscribers. They want HBOM’s Q1 to end with a lot of new subscribers and they seem to think that GvK can guarantee that surge. At the same time, you won’t be able to tell which film pulled in more subscribers.
GR likes to start drama and some think that ZS supports the toxic online environment that his fans create. His fans seem to have attacked critics and people who don't like his work. It's obvious that GR doesn’t like PJ, because she believes PJ booted ZS from WW84 to side with GJ. She doesn’t like GJ either.
PJ has to direct Cleopatra and a Star Wars film. So fans are worried it’ll take to long to make WW3. Some think that PJ will help produce WW3 while another female director will direct it. And they might be right. The trend right now is that a female director will direct a film with a female lead. There’s no way WB execs would even think about letting ZS or any man direct WW3. They wouldn’t risk that backlash. So I’m sure GR’s talking out of her arse again. Or like you said, she’s trying to pimp up her sugar daddy’s film. Her sources didn’t tell her crap.

Read this: The next morning, the Snyders received the call asking if they'd like to release the Snyder Cut on HBO Max. The initial offer was to put the cut, as it was, on the streaming service, without investing the money to complete the vision. So the Snyders got to work, and with the help of CAA, prepared a presentation showcasing the reach #TheSnyderCut had on social media."We compared that to the top shows on Netflix, so we could then make the comparison of what the power of this fanbase was and how that translated into subscribers for HBO Max," says Deborah Snyder. "When they were like, 'Well, we don't want to spend the money on this,' and then you are like 'OK, but, you do see there's an upside?'"
We’ll never know the upside. WB had no valid reason to move GvK from May 21 to March. The only reason I can think of is that they don’t want the Snyders’ CAA to be right. There are more Q’s. What’s so special about Q1? Subscribers will see three films now for $15 and than unsuscribe. Instead of more, HBOM’s Q2 might have less subscribers.
The trend is real.

Is true. A segment of Snyder’s fandom did behave inappropriately. However, it’s unclear if Snyder supports that segment. Apparently, he used to deny its existence.
Her "sources" also told her that WB execs would like Snyder to make JL2 and Jl3. Just read.

Mellow good guy Zack Snyder had to be held back? Well, I’ll be damned.
Seriously, how dumb can one 55 yo man be? I can use my real name to set up a wholesome fan site for HC and raise money for his charities – Durrell and The Royal Marines – and then log in with Blue-Rose on Reddit, PVC, SHM, TMDB etc. and send death threats to everybody who says that I’ll never be his wife. After that psychotic ep, I’ll log in on my wholesome HC fan site to continue my support for his work and help raise money for his charities.
On a less wholesome and psychotic note, raising money for HC’s charities will put me in his good books and bring me closer to him. He’ll walk willingly right into my trap. I don’t have to hit him out cold with a baseball bat to kidnap him.
ZS wanted a GL for that scene, but WB said no. A GL or an MM, who has just arrived on Earth, would have made sense. But ZS’ stubbornness made him include that nonsense. There were three wars and Swanwick didn’t bother turn into MM to help. He has a stake in this world now, but not when the World Engine (WE) or the Mother Boxes (MB) were about to destroy it? Now that Earth has enough heroes to protect it, he wants to help? We already have a hero who’s so powerful that he can only appear in the film when it’s time to finish the fight and the film. His name is Superman.
That was so absurd. That should have been the real MK.
Exactly! ZS plays innocent (he doesn’t have an agenda) and even the victim (WB assigned babysitters to watch him on set, he had to fight WB etc.) sometimes. But he uses his fans. He kept feeding them stuff to get them excited. He even showed JM the cut so he can have someone to confirm that his cut do exist. And now he gave them a visual taste of JL2 and JL3 in that long epilogue. And that’s not enough. He also explains his plans for JL2 and JL3 amply in interviews. And then he plays the victim. He wants the fans to know that WB is the reason they won’t get to see all that dark goodness. ZSJL isn’t canon. WB “hasn’t really expressed any interest in making more movies with me, and that’s 100% fine.” No, it’s not fine. He knows the fans want more and he made sure they know why they won’t get more. So now the Lord of Darkness will sit back and watch the parademons in his fandom scare WB execs into letting him finish his vision.
ZS can’t openly support the parademons, FCS.
Maybe now her followers know she lies.
WB has really ruined the fun. Not for me. I’m not a ZS or WB fan. But the ZS fans were so happy. ZSJL is fresh on RT and many people watched it last week. WB could have waited with this news. But TBH, I think they did it on purpose. They don’t want ZSJL to be the reason to subscribe (GvK and maybe Mortal K). Now they probably hope this affects the amount of views. Many people watched ZSJL or was going to watch it to make it a hit for HBOM to get WB to green-light MOS2, a BatFleck and Cyborg film. I doubt that woman gave that interview five days after the release. Look at the time the article was published. And the author doesn’t ask her what she thinks of ZSJL’s success. That’s weird. I think she gave that interview before ZSJL was released. They really want to move away from ZSJL. Its success doesn’t matter.

Replace a woman because she made one flop with a man who made two flops and a film that couldn’t be released in theaters. GR didn’t have a more believable lie to tell?
Does ZS know how many members of the LGBTQ community commit suicide? If he knew, he wouldn’t be in GR’s YT show. His favorite girl used to speculate and out people. So ZS does indulge in toxic fandom.
ZSJL started streaming Thursday. Sunday isn’t five days after.
How many times have we discussed ZS’ sneaky antics? Too many times. It’s right up there with the Martha moment. Now some sites are finally writing about it.
I fail to see how that’s less psychotic.
Part of what you say doesn’t make sense without the business part. You should copy that part too. And maybe you should copyright what you write on SHM.

In Snyder’s defense, he had to say that WB is the one that hasn’t really expressed any interest in making more movies with him. After the babysitter article, fans thought that he might be the one who wouldn’t want to go through all that turmoil again. Perhaps he got wind of that.

He tends to show his dark side when he let his guard down.
ZS: I would love the opportunity to just say to the world, and to fandom in general, who these fakers are and what should be done to them, or with them.
What exactly should be done to or with them? Nobody has the right to do anything to or with anybody.
ZS must have lost his mind, because a 55 yo can’t be that dumb. He’s not just a guy or girl posting on boards. He’s a celeb with a legion of fans. There are fans who take things literally or give it their own interpretation and are willing to do crazy things.
Edit: WB has really ruined the fun. Not for me. I’m not a ZS or WB fan. But the ZS fans were so happy. ZSJL is fresh on RT and many people watched it last week. WB could have waited with this news.

I think she gave that interview before ZSJL was released. They really want to move away from ZSJL. Its success doesn’t matter. But WB is a for-profit business. Forget the sequel and the quarrel with ZS. They should want to make money. Maximum profit. But this childish crap could only jeopardize that.
Well, each post has a date and time. So it’s all good.
That’s why I wrote “he made sure they know why they won’t get more”. But I should have added what you wrote too. Thanks.

After you said that, the convo changed to F&WS and GvK. GvK has 79% on RT and it already grossed $121.9 mil internationally. China’s share is $69.2 mil.
And tweets about keep playing it to crash the platforms. I guess WB won’t be fooled by any of that. They poor water on the ZSJL fire right away. That’s a clear message.
No, thanks.

Can I help? I want to be in HC’s good books too.
I don’t care for WB’s DC stuff.
It could have been a trick to get as many subscribers as possible. WB only needed GvK to undermine ZSJL. But it could backfire. I can see many people subscribe to get all three for $15 and unsubscribe because of the last minute change.
You mean pour. Word doesn’t mark it wrong because poor is an English word and it’s spelled right. I hate that.

I can always use help. HC can lift four of me and I don’t think I can lift one of his legs.
