There are a few negatives in the Snyder cut that you didn’t notice. Watch! :)
Number 1. The air bubbles. Wish they just subtitled them. It was a few lines only anyways. Those air pockets totally ruined the Atlanteans under water for me.
Number 2. Barry. He is not as funny here as he was in the first one.
Number 3. The Darkness. Why does everything have to be so dark? We all saw the first movie and it wasn't dark at all. Why Snyder had to make everything darker and harder to see is soooooo.... Can someone slap him for me please? Not too hard, I still want him for JL 2 😃 Number 4. That one green guy in this movie. Can they at least make look good and do more? Looking like a Parademon and dying as easily as one was pretty pathetic...
Number 5. Batman vehicle. They showed one new vehicle prematurely. Though my eyes widened so much I hurt myself. And, had the POWER to rewind that scene over and over again. Why they had to show it this early with no context whatsoever was like pulling a bunny without a hat and you weren't actually in a magic show.
Number 6. Knightmare Batman. This might be controversial but I liked the first one way more than this. Also, them showing (beep) was lousy for me. How many times does this character have to appear in a DC movie? Enough already!!! There are thousands more characters, both villains and heroes in the DC universe! Please PLEASE PLEASE(!!!!) pick another one!
Number 7. The slowmo scenes! Thats 5+ min there! Waaay too overused!
Number 8. THIS ONE IS UNFORGIVABLE!!! They removed the end credit scene!!!! Make Sups run instead of fly. THAT you change. But removing that scene?!?!!? BLASPHEMY!!! Just stab me a hundred times in the chest instead! Dayum.... Anyways, if you have more scenes or moments that were different from the old version, do comment down below. Just make sure to word it in a way that it won't spoil it for anyone.
10 Fascinating Facts About JRR Tolkien You Probably Didn’t Know
JRR Tolkien or John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on 3rd January, in 1892, in Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, South Africa, where his father was the head of the Bloemfontein bank. After his father’s death, Tolkien, his mother, and brother returned to England, where Tolkien became an academic and scholar of archaic English and twice Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Oxford.
Tolkien is best known for his creation of the world of Middle Earth, and specifically as the writer of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. However, there was so much more to JRR Tolkien. Here are 10 things you may not know.
Number 1. Bag End Was a Real Place
Many of the places
Tolkien encountered in his life inspired the landscapes of his books.
The battlefields of World War One influenced the bleakness of Mordor,
while the mountains of Switzerland seeded Riven dell. After his father’s
death, Tolkien, his mother Mabel, and his younger brother Hilary moved
back to England where the family found themselves forced to live with
various relatives. One of those relatives, Tolkien’s Aunt Jane, lived in
the Worcestershire countryside, which Tolkien grew to love — and which
also found its way into his books. The village of Saredon provided the
foundation for Hobbiton. However, one place actually gave its name: that
of Tolkien’s Aunt’s farm, Bag End.
Number 2. Tolkien Could Read by the Age of Four
The
Worcestershire countryside also became Tolkien’s earliest classroom.
Mabel Tolkien home-schooled her sons from an early age, and it was here
that she taught Tolkien botany and where he learned to draw. However,
Tolkien also excelled at his more regular lessons — especially
languages. By the age of four, he could read English fluently and be
writing equally well, not long afterward. Unsurprisingly, Tolkien was a
prolific and critical reader. He disliked Treasure Island but had a love
of fantasy, especially fairy tales — although he described Alice in
Wonderland as “amusing but disturbing.”
Number 3. The Languages of Middle Earth Weren’t the First He Created.
JRR
Tolkien aptitude for languages extended beyond English. His mother also
taught him Latin, French, and German and while he was at school, he
taught himself Greek, Middle English, Anglo-Saxon, and Old Norse amongst
many others. Tolkien went on to create 14 different languages of Middle
Earth — but these were not the first he invented. During his childhood,
he formulated Nevbosh, or “New Non-Sense, with his cousin Mary
Incledon. But Tolkien’s first solo invention came in his teens when he
developed “Naffarin.” Based around Latin and Spanish, Naffarin evolved
from Nev bosh — and, some believe, formed the foundation of Tolkien’s
Elvish tongue.
Number 4. Tolkien’s Greatest Villain Was Inspired by One of These Childhood Books.
Because
of its post-Second World War publication, many people believed Sau ron
was based on Adolf Hitler. However, he was based on a character in one
of JRR Tolkien’s favorite boyhood books. Tolkien loved SR Crockett’s
historical novel, The Black Douglas. Its villain, Gilles de Retz, was
based on the French knight (and associate of Joan of Arc), Gilles de
Rais, a convicted child murderer. Crockett’s character was also a devil
worshipper, allied with a shape-shifting witch and a pack of wolves —
very similar to Sau ron’s wargs. It was these evil attributes and
associations that seem to have helped shaped Sau ron.
Number 5. Tolkien Was a Devout Catholic
Mabel
Tolkien died in 1904 but before her death converted to Roman
Catholicism, a decision which cut her off from her family. She assigned a
Catholic priest, Father Morgan, as her sons’ guardian, ensuring both
boys were raised in her adopted faith. Tolkien remained a devout
Catholic all his life — so much so that he made his son memorize the
whole of the mass. He was also very much a traditionalist. When the
Vatican decreed that masses should be held in English, Tolkien heartily
disapproved. He continued to give his response in Latin so loudly that
everyone in the church could hear him.
Number 6. Tolkien Had a Strange Sense of Humor
He
may have been an academic, but JRR Tolkien was far from stuffy. He
enjoyed a drink — and a laugh. In the 1930s, while teaching at Oxford,
Tolkien frequently behaved like a “riotous schoolboy” — on one occasion
chasing a neighbor down the road for a joke, dressed as an ax-wielding
Anglo-Saxon warrior! Tolkien’s tendency for over the top pranks
continued into his old age when he used to amuse himself by hiding his
false teeth amongst the change he passed to shopkeepers. As Tolkien put
it, he had “a very simple sense of humor, which even my most
appreciative critics find tiresome.”
Number 7. Tolkien’s Horrific Spiders Were Invented to Play on a Phobia
Tolkien
used spiders as agents of horror in The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and
the Lord of the Rings. Many people believe this was because Tolkien
loathed spiders after he was bitten by one while a toddler in South
Africa. While Tolkien admitted he wasn’t a massive fan of spiders, he
claimed he “did not dislike them particularly,” and even rescued those
he found in the bath. In fact, Tolkien’s awful arachnids were based
around the phobia of his son, Michael rather than his own, and were
invented to “thoroughly frighten him.”
Number 8. The Nazis Loved Tolkien — but He Loathed Them.
Middle
Earth was a world built upon old Norse and Germanic culture — which
made Tolkien a natural draw for the Nazis. However, Tolkien had no time
for them, regarding Nazi ideals as “ruining, perverting, misapplying and
making for ever accursed that noble northern spirit.” He also loathed
Hitler, who he referred to as a “ruddy little ignoramus.” So, when
Rutten & Loening, the German publishers hoping to print a German
edition of The Hobbit, asked Tolkien in 1938 to confirm his Aryan
credentials, Tolkien tore them down. He wrote back, explaining that
“Aryan” was an Indo-Iranian culture originating from India and the
middle east. “If I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am
of Jewish origin,” Tolkien concluded, “ I can only reply that I regret
that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people.”
Number 9. Tolkien Trained as a World War II Code Breaker — but He Never Took up the Job
JRR
Tolkien’s linguistic skills made him a prime candidate for covert war
work. So, when in January 1939 he was asked if he would be willing to
work in the cryptographic department of the foreign office in the event
of a “national emergency,” Tolkien immediately agreed. That March, he
attended a three-day course in codebreaking at the Government Code and
Cypher School in London. However, Tolkien never joined the likes of Alan
Turing cracking Nazi codes at Bletchley Park. In October 1939, he was
informed his services were not required.
Number 10. Tolkien Did Not Write the Lord of the Rings as a Trilogy
Written
between 1937 and 1949, the Lord of the Rings was finally published in
three volumes in 1954 and 1955. However, the story was never meant to be
a trilogy. The decision to split the books was taken by the publishers,
to limit the financial risk to them. The sheer size of the book also
had some bearing. JRR Tolkien was unhappy with the decision, but despite
the publisher’s fears, the new work exceeded the popularity of the
Hobbit, becoming one of the bestselling books ever.
