The Joker was definitely better in the Whedon Cut.
Happy Halloween, Guest!
A single image is a poor indicator of a film director's storytelling ability.
... But even so, Barry falling on the boobs is a crappy joke rooted in his character: He's socially awkward and is inexperienced with his powers. One sabotages the other. By contrast, hot dog in the air has a hot dog in the air. It's love at first sight, a fatal car wreck and a hot dog gag all in one.
Falling on woman as joke was used by Whedon in Avengers when Bruce Banner falls on Black Widow, he used that joke again in JL 2017, so the same joke was used two times, when it was not funny even the first time.A single image is a poor indicator of a film director's storytelling ability.

in Snyder Cut, she's still grieving and hasn't returned to work as it has been few months since Superman had died.
I dont think any actor could play that scene and make it work though. Ita a weird scene from the get go.Both scenes are lame.
And the one constant across both scenes? Ezra Miller. Coincidence? I think not.
Bad Ezra. That's a bad Ezra.
I dont think they cut it because it was "peverted"Its almost ironic that Whedon used the falling on Wonder Woman gag as part of his arc and is labeled a pervert(rightfully so).
But even the pervert understood the hot dog scene needed to be cut.

And on that, if anything its 'a get your mind out of the gutter' moment. Because he is just grabbing it for the doggos.
I know this likely won't be well received around here but its one of MauLers best takedowns. And it really breaks down the differences in the characters in the both cuts.
Eh, Steppenwolf talking to Amazons about how they will love him after he defeats them, is misogynistic, chauvinistic.
How Aquaman talks about Wonder Woman is completely out of character
it makes him look like a flirt. Martha Kent calling Lois Lane, who is iconic journalist, as thirsty is in very poor taste, I'm male but even I was cringing when I heard that.
And Lois writing puff piece articles for Daily Planet instead of doing investigative journalism is bad idea, in Snyder Cut, she's still grieving and hasn't returned to work as it has been few months since Superman had died.
Not giving any scene to Clark Kant and Martha Kent after he returns from dead is also example of poor storytelling by Whedon. So, is Clark describing his return as itchy, not a good dialogue.
And worst of them all is that woman appearing on TV claiming that aliens have kidnapped her husband and they were performing experiments on him, was that supposed to be funny
I think Wonderwoman blowing the hell out of a section of a museum just to kill one terrorist is also completely out of character and stupid as hell considering the fact that she risked killing all the police officers and bystanders outside just so Snyder could have his "cool" moment. Honestly you'd think a woman who actually works at one museum would be more reticent to damage another.
You know, I get what Snyder was going for in that scene, especially with the slow-mo, but I couldn't help but yell at the screen (and Snyder) to hurry up and just have Flash save the girl already. The slow-mo in that scene was probably the only one in the entire movie that left me exasperated because it was showing Flash (of all people) taking too damn long to save someone's life.
Yeah, what bothers me so much about that scene (besides Barry acting like a complete moron and an imbecile when talking to the pet shop owner) is that this woman is about to DIE, and yet he still takes the time to stare creepily at her and caress her hair, and then catch a hot dog out of the air. That he can do all this and still have time to save her is beside the point. He should just be focused on saving her.
