Zack: "You said you enjoyed the theatrical cut of Justice League like you enjoy your Saturday morning cartoons… Well this is made for grownups, so you’re not in the demographic."

And Zack just continues to prove my initial point.
I'm trying to wrap my head around this quote.

Don't. Trying wrap your mind around something that broken is just going to result in you cutting yourself on all the jagged edges.

I'm expecting to see an announcement about Justice League 2, in which they fight zombie robots.

But in a serious and socially relevant way.

Batman's daughter will insist on joining the mission and will be allowed to for ... reasons?

I was just coming here to say "What d'you mean *go* wrong? It *started* wrong, with Man Of Steel" but we all said that already. Instead, I'll point out that Zack Snyder's work on Watchmen was already terrible misinterpretation of the point. Getting rid of the giant squid as a supposed scout of an alien invasion in favour of having Dr Manhattan, *the symbol of the power of the US military* be the one responsible for attacks across the globe (including the US, but nobody's going to be calm enough to care in the Kremlin) just makes a mockery of the very idea that Ozymandius could ever think that his plan would bring about world peace (even if it hadn't been dismantled anyway by the simple unpredictability of man, when Rorshach drops off his journal of proof to newspaper publishers).

So someone did an edit of Zack's comments about "living in a dream world", juxtaposing them against Manchester Black saying something similar to Superman. Only for Superman to hit back with his speech about how dreams save us.

I said it over on the Discord, but I'll say it again: Heroes are real Zack. There are people I admire who have never betrayed anyone, who stuck to their principles, who made a positive impact on other peoples lives, who never stole or did any of the other things you cite. Desmond Doss. Fred Rogers. Jim Butcher. My dad. Maybe you just need to pick better heroes? Maybe you're the one who needs to wake up? Because it doesn't sound like I'm living in a dream world, it sounds like you're living in some self-imposed nightmare.
