Snyders visuals felt lost.. none of the Leagues actions measured up to the Amazons action sequence..
. . .
That's because the Amazon sequence was probably the most untouched of Snyder's action sequences.
-We know that the opening Batman scene was Whedon (good in concept, but actually pretty ****y in execution.)
-The History Lesson was also heavily cut down, minimizing and even eliminating characters roles in that scene. It possibly was even re-purposed (RUMOURED to originally have been a prologue.)
-The League's initial confrontation with Steppenwolf was also heavily restructured for Whedon's Flash jokes, changing his role in that action scene.
-The Atlantis scenes were almost entirely gutted as well, leaving only the brief sequence where Steppenwolf steals the Motherbox, and it's cut short for Mera and Arthur's bubble of seclusion.
-[BLACKOUT]Superman vs the League[/BLACKOUT] was also heavily edited, with obvious re-shoots (plastic face,) changing it to a DAY scene, and a TONNE of brilliant little action moments that permeated EVERY trailer were also from this scene but cut from the theatrical cut.
-The finale was COMPLETELY cut to **** and restructured to make an entirely different action sequence.
So, while I'm CERTAIN the big Amazon action scene was also cut down (rumoured we would have originally scene [BLACKOUT]Amazons being converted to Parademons,[/BLACKOUT]) it feels like it was the LEAST tampered with sequence of the entire film. I was actually surprised how long it was, relative to the other action scenes, particularly compared to [BLACKOUT]Steppenwolf's fight with the Atlanteans.[/BLACKOUT]
In other words, I get the impression this was basically the ONLY scene where Snyder's action was allowed to play out relatively close to his original intentions.
