One-dimensional directors are bad directors. I don't care how pretty Snyder makes his films look, he a poor ideas man. Give any mediocre schmuck millions of dollars and the world's best talent and they can make pretty visuals too. I mean it sucks that he's going through a personal tragedy and I have nothing but best wishes, but that doesn't mean we forgive how stupidly BvS was done.Also let's not give Snyder undue credit on Wonder Woman. Sure he's got a story credit but from producer Charles Roven himself, most of the script in its final form was birthed by Patty Jenkins and Geoff Johns. It was because of some writers guild thing that Jenkins and Johns didn't get any writing credits.
It's not just about being "pretty". Watchmen and 300 were just great movies. Not everyone can translate comic to screen like that, and not everyone can execute the kind of action sequences he has done either. And there were some great action sequences in MOS.
I think BvS was just above his paygrade though tbh.
He deserves some of the credit for WW. He's credited as a story writer because he's basically been shepherding these films so far. In fact WB wouldn't even have done WW before JL. They were gonna just jump straight into JL, but Snyder convinced them to do a bit of build up.
I'm guessing Whedon/Johns will take over that role of shepherding the DCEU now though. And that Patty Jenkins will do JL2.
