This is a worthy cause

Eventually there will be a Fan Cut to not just restore the a 16:9 or 2.35:1 ratio but blend some of the content from Joss’ movie into this one ☝️



reply

Why? the 16:9 is an inferior format.

reply

The last time people watch cinematic movies in 4:3 was like in the 1940's

reply

Next you'll tell me he wants to release it in Black and White!
And 240i!
And mono!

reply

Synder is planning on releasing a "Justice is Gray" black and white version.

reply

It's already available on HBOMAX. Simply a curio for people interested.

reply

16:9 is inferior in this case because it was filmed in IMAX 4:3.

16:9 would cut footage from the top and bottom.

reply

The 1960s actually because hollywood wanted to be a special snowflake and decided to invent a new aspect ratio to be different from TV.

reply

I converted a copy to 16:9 and it looks great. No more black. No idea why Snyder would think home viewers would want 4:3

reply

If you really think about it the 4×3 ratio is actually even cooler because it's like a frame in a comic book.

I don't get the backlash for the 4:3 aspect ratio. I didn't like the idea at first (before watching the movie and just going off the trailers/marketing), especially since it's a movie and not TV show, but after watching the Snyder Cut once on my 20-inch PC monitor and then again on my 40-inch TV, I'm fine with the black bars on the side. They don't bother me and I forget they were there. But then again, maybe the aspect ratio is nothing new to me. I own Batman: The Animated Series on Blu-Ray and have been watching Batman Beyond and Courage The Cowardly Dog on HBO Max. Those are in 4:3 aspect ratio. Then throw in I also have Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, Kenan & Kel, and several other 90's Nickelodeon shows on an external hard drive that I watch sometimes if nothing seems like a mood and I'm desperate to watch something. They all are in the 4:3 aspect ratio. Maybe I'm just a little more accepting to stuff too because if it's the aspect ratio the director or whoever wants us to watch it in, then I'm fine with it. So if Zack Snyder wants us to watch his cut of Justice League in 4:3, then I'll accept it. But it didn't take me long to adjust to the 4:3 aspect ratio for the Snyder Cut. After about 10-15 minutes, I kind of accepted it and/or forgot about the black bars on the side. And I have seen an aspect ratio comparison of the Snyder Cut and Whedon Cut for some scenes. Not too much was lost on the sides. It's nothing massive like the fullscreen vs widescreen stuff back in the day with DVD's in the late 90's to early 2000's. It doesn't seem like you are missing much of the shot/frame like you would back in the day with fullscreen. Shoot, with fullscreen, a person or two could be entirely cut out. But that's not the case with the Snyder Cut. Most that gets cut off from the sides are a random house/building or tree or some scenery. I can live with not seeing that house/building or tree or scenery. They don't really add anything to what's going on.

I didn't like the fact that it was in 4:3 aspect ratio before watching the film but as you I didn't think about it when I was watching it. Saw it on my 65-inch tv in a really dark room. I was surprised of how good it looked.

“The film was originally shot that way. You know, don’t forget it was intended for the theatrical release, and it was intended to have an IMAX release. But now that it was on HBO Max, Zack didn’t want to change the aspect ratio, because everything was framed that way... So it was really important to maintain the aspect ratio because that’s how it was originally intended to be. That’s how it was shot. That’s how the visual effects were done.”
