In light of the recent news, I hope Zack Snyder and his family are able to heal from such a loss. I wanted to give my thanks to him as a director and storyteller, specifically for introducing me in a way to the DCEU.
Dear Zack Snyder,
last year I was suicidal. it was one of the worst and most terrifying times of my life, and it’s something i’ve struggled to get help with, but when i was at my worst i held on to the fact that Batman v Superman was coming out on my birthday, a movie i spent three years waiting for and was anticipating so much, god help me i was going to live to see it.
and when i did i cried because it changed me. it moved me. it was worth so much to me and i needed it and it’s message of hope so badly.
you’ve always been such an inspiration to me, you and Deborah, your films and your heart.
my heart is so broken for you, i have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, and take all the time you need in the world to heal. you deserve so much. please know how much your love and dedication to the universe that has been my safe haven means to me and to many other fan.
we love you and support you and we’re standing with you.
thank you for everything.
Justice League is a movie I’ve been waiting for for my entire life so let me make one thing abundantly clear: it literally doesn’t fucking matter right now.
If you are glad Zack had to leave, if you are glad Whedon (who two weeks ago celebrated his own mother being dead) is taking over, if you are glad the movie is delayed, if you give a shit about a movie right now when a man who receives nothing but unjustified hate on a near constant basis has had to stop working out of intense emotional grief, you are literal fucking garbage.
I have already read multiple comments saying they’re glad his daughter is dead. I’ve read people insult him because this is “the first they’re hearing of it” so they don’t believe him. And everybody’s probably read people just celebrating the shift in general by now.
I don’t subscribe to the idea that the internet is the worst of the worst, there are clearly worse people in the ‘real world’, but it’s really fucking hard to keep that belief when I see people celebrating a human being losing a fight that myself and millions of people have fought. It’s fucking disgusting.
WAIT. PEOPLE ARE CELEBRATING THIS?!
“where there is good there is evil- and this is evil”
Y'all are literally Devils.
I’m just gonna spit out shit cuz i feel the need to vent.
2013 was a really awful year for me, honestly. It was a really depressing time for me when I was starting to figure out who I was (at the time I thought I was just a gay boy). I was constantly bullied in middle school and was really close to suicide. When summer finally came around and I was finally out of school for that year, I was dragged to see a movie with my dad and brother that I didn’t really want to watch. The only reason I was barely interested in it was because it had Christopher Nolan’s name on it as producer (I didn’t know who directed it cuz i was too lazy to look). It was Man of Steel, which everyone knows is directed by Zack Snyder. Seeing that movie honestly made me more motivated as a person. Seeing a character like Superman in that outcasted kind of way made me relate to a character I’ve always hated. I always felt like I was hated for who I was, just like how Clark was throughout the movie. Man of Steel helped me cope through my depression, and I’m glad I get to continue seeing these stories of my favorite characters come to life because of Zack Snyder, who I bet is going through hell right now with his family. I hope everything gets better for the Snyder family and close friends of his daughter who lost someone they cared about. The national suicide hotline in the U.S. is 1-800-273-8255 if anyone who see’s this needs it.
