Zack Snyder has strong words for people who call his fans toxic.

“I would never say there is no way,” he says, in response to fans’ continued push for the “Snyderverse” to continue. “I was on the ride that created Justice League, and if you were in my shoes there were numerous times, dark times, when there was no chance that there will ever be my version of it. It will never exist. It can’t… cost, politics, everything stood against. And yet it exists.”
Zack then praises the fans for what they did, adding that they “should never forget they did that.”
He continues, “They also raised a ton of money for suicide prevention. They did a lot of good. They catch a lot of flak for being toxic or whatever, but they literally saved human lives. You can go f–k yourselves if that’s what you think.”
He also had nothing but praise for James Gunn‘s take on Superman.
“James is cool. I wish them all the best. It is what it is,” Zack said. “That three movie trilogy is a weed that just won’t die. It grows on its own. It has its own life. It’s not concerned with James’ Superman, which is amazing and all the best to them. I can’t wait to see the next movie. It’s awesome. To me, it’s not the same thing. It’s a different thing.”
