Roughly 25 minutes into “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) bursts into a room filled with suicidal terrorists bent on blowing up the entire building — and th…

bursts into a room filled with suicidal terrorists bent on blowing up the entire building — and the school children trapped there with them. With mere seconds remaining before the bomb explodes, Wonder Woman zips to each terrorist with lightning speed, tossing them hard against the walls, before she grabs the bomb, leaps through the ceiling, and throws it high into the air where it explodes, harming no one.

, there is one crucial — and conspicuous — difference: When Wonder Woman throws those terrorists against the wall, they land head first, and leave a blood splatter behind as they slump to the floor.It’s one of several instances in which the violence in “Justice League” is bloodier and more violent than audiences are typically accustomed to with superhero movies, which are almost always rated PG-13 — and therefore largely bloodless.

“Let’s just do it the exact way we would if there was no ratings board,” he said of his team’s thinking. “Let’s not use any second guessing. Let’s just do it the way we think is the coolest. That was the philosophical approach.” “I always feel that the consequence is important to me, that there’s real stakes,” Snyder said. “It still is abstract, you know. These are gods fighting men. Which is also part of the point. We can’t really fight them. Humans can’t really fight them.”

If thinks ZSJL is more violent & bloody, they should watch this. ZSJL might pass as PG-13 compared to this.

I can’t believe someone wrote this article.

All comic book movies are violent

That movie isn’t that violent.

It was so much better then the first one

It’s nowhere near as violent as that would be. They just added a couple of F words so 14 yo boys could giggle. Show WW at her full potential decapitating bad guys left, right and centre. Both JL films have pros and cons but both water down WW’s powers.

🙄

Diana is, after all, the daughter of Zeus!!!!

This is like the hundredth time this has been posted. Also. It’s not that violent.

Oh he's interested in realism now? 🤔

It’s not that violent tho literally

And thats part of why we love it!

And completely unbelievable.

Or you could go watch The Boys?

Yeah cool doesn't mean good 😔😔

I mean he’s not wrong.

Spoiler: it’s not that really violent.

Hey but what you have to remember is this guy got his head cut off in End Game too.

I loved it as is.

Nothing wrong with the violence in it

Love the no censorship for film but why do it with a kids comic book heros unless you are making a movie for older people with a child’s mentality!

HighDefDiscNews 😂😂😂😅😅😅

I didn't see real violence in this movie, on the contrary.

It's realistic and metal .... That's Zack Snyder style. It's a new approach towards superhero genre & I like it

Added literally nothing to the film lol

HighDefDiscNews It’s R rated? 3 ‘shit’s one ‘fuck’ and a bit of blood splatter is pretty much PG

It was less violent than a lot of pg-13 movies I’ve seen lmao

The movie is an overindulgent mess. By the end of the FOUR hours I literally wanted to die

Is it me or is that for a R rated movie the violence wasn't that hardcore?

Wonder Woman is suposed to be a bloodthirsty warrior not a lame pacifist

I would rather my daughters see a warrior Woman of Wonder.

cftheking It's not that much more violent than Lord Of The Rings.

Who the fuck is Zack Snyder and why won't people shut up about him?

I’m not really even that violent tho definitely not enough for an r rating.

Comics are crazy violent...and with his choice of color grading you don't really see blood

It's the way it's supposed to be!!!

Fair enough.

You answer your own article question in the title! “Why is Justice League so Violent? Zack Snyder” 😂

Just say you like bl00d and go.. all these bs

Variety sounds so very, very concerned

I’ve lost count on how many times you guys have tweeted this.

FourEyed_Rhea

Clearly the people that criticize it have never read a comic book 😂

ZS: “Finally, we can say, ‘mother box’ as much as we want!”

I needed the blood and gore lol it’s not real if there’s no blood in the Atlantis water

ZackSnydersJusticeLeague R Rating is a by product of the director’s uncomfortable nihilistic tone. For a Superhero film, it’s not very hopeful. HBOMax

It really wasn't that bad. Don't know what all this moaning and groaning is about.

It was good minus ben affleck as batman. It still seems so artificial him being cast as Batman 🤷🏽‍♂️cnt shake it

The movie was great! Glad they put it out. Hopefully they can get the other projects back on track!

Loved it.

This means leaving the blood (although not red) in the cut and about 5 or 6 F-bombs. Not to mention extreme violence against aliens. But who cares about them, right? SnyderCut

A 4 hour movie and unless I’m mistaken, I only heard one swear word at the end. Impressive.

Meanwhile at marvel nobody bleeds out

All the films have had some messed up consequences so I feel what he’s saying

What's funny to me in both Endgame and ZSJL is that military forces around the entire planet are apparently....asleep, or on vacation.

Diana is a Goddess ♥️

These dudes keep dumbing down Wonder Woman’s powers. It’s like they’re so focused on Superman and Batman the rest of the league are an afterthought. Cyborg and Flash got a bit more attention in Snyder cut. WW still not at full potential.

The most awful, violent image I can't get out of my head is the 4:3 presentation.

'and then superman throws him against the wall and there's blood and brains and stuff!' - me when i was fucking 12 years old

Because its super heroes battling demons and dark God's. Thats 'why'. Its not for toddler's. 'Why does Batman punch the rapist in the face? Thats so violent.' Because the guy held a knife at his victims throat you jack***! Not in the movie just an example of how stupid you act.

Well it’s not marvel.

Because the abuser and liar amber heard is in it?!

There was blood? I do remember Wonder Woman blowing someone away, but he deserved it. The building didn't

Personally, I find battles to prevent complete annihilation to be light, jaunty affairs where everyone holds hands and uses a talking pillow to work out their differences.

I was thrown aback when the parademon got cut in half but like it was awesome

He is certainly helping explain why this is his last film in the DCEU.

Because this is the DC Vibe (watch the animations people). This was like watching unicorns next to Apokolips War animated movie or Flashpoint.

This is a dumb question!! Christ alive get a life!

I ilke the part where she brutally murders like 9 dudes in front of a bunch of children. And then leaves those children alone in a room with one of the dudes who is still armed when she flys up to throw the bomb in the sky. Oh and then she punches the bullets away from the kids.

If a super powered being punched, or kicked an average human or thrown them than well, blood will be had, you most likely won’t live that encounter

Every time I see someone asking this like: 'why are you violent against aliens? Why are they so serious? Why the protagonist use weapons against people who wants to kill him/her/them? (...) I don't want to sound like a jerk, but seem like very stupid and pointless question to me.

Wonder woman killing people in cold blood was off putting for sure.

It’s kind of nice for a movie to show what would actually happen if you were punched/thrown by a superhero.

The answer is in the headline lol

It’s in line with the style. Do I have to explain everything?

Can he explain all the slo-mo?

Dammit. Who cares. Why does everything have to be so sanitized? Kids arent staying awake for a four movie anyway.

When you compare the violence to the runtime, there isn’t much.

WHY NOT?

I'll let Quentin Tarantino answer this one SnyderCut ZackSnydersJusticeLeague

Because hitting someone in the face at Mach 2 wouldn't be bloodless

Because it's good.
