That sounds like bullshit and always has, they gave im $40m I think initially to do the effects for the movie but it ended up with reshoots costing $70m to make his version of the movie, no way they spent $30m extra just to film that one scene, which is just to set up a sequel he has said from the get go there are no plans for.

also with so much visual effects heavy scenes all he needs is some line readings to completely rework the cgi characters, like I do not remember hearing back in 2017 about people who had scene the original unfinished Snyder cut saying just how much Darkseid was in the movie, he was in it but not supposedly to the degree we get him in now.

And as said already he can cut scenes he knows does not work and use an alternate version of them, for all we know some scenes in the Joss Whedon version were Snyder scenes, but Snyder now in hindsight can cut them, and people will just assume they are Whedon scenes.

Snyder is in an almost no lose situation, benefit of hindsight, a rabid fanbase, the ultimate sympathy play, and Fisher has spent the last year making Whedon out to be the devil which just sours opinions on him and his movie even more, like seriously Snyder could not fail so long as he wasn't caught kicking puppies or pissing on a child head from a balcony 10 floors up, and the movie wasn't just 4 hours of him farting on a snare drum whilst wanking himself off.

Why is it bullshit? Reshoots reportedly only lasted about a week or so.

Because it's budget jumped from $40m up to $70m, and it's a very specific claim, they did not reshoot more than one scene, but with so much special effects they can redo so many scenes with just voice over work, though it technically isn't a reshoot, the claim makes it sound as if this is Snyders original vision, which sounds like utter bullshit, Snyder has had 3 years of added life experience including a massive tragedy, he's got the benefit of hindsight, the world itself changed dramatically and what Snyder's vision never changed? despite the idea for the movie itself changing repeatedly in the last year?

Nah to me sounds like spin to try and act like this is the movie we would have got 3 years ago, which just doesn't ring true, especially as a what was a mostly confirmed version of his cut people saw 3 years ago is not like the version we got, Snyder obviously altered some things as you would expect, except he's trying to claim this is his original vision, which like I said I do not buy as a true statement.

Edit: Actually it was estimated to cost $20-30m but likely to cost more, but around the time of the reshoots the budget had ballooned to up to $70m, which doesn't that seem like a little too much of a coincidence? then reshoots began supposedly Oct 6th with Heard, Leto and Mangenello joining the reshoots just over 2 weeks later, and Snyder said reshoots only make up 4-5 minutes of new footage, yet the nightmare scene, the supposed only new scene is more like 7 minutes long, and I dunno the Martian Manhunter scene after the nightmare scene does Affleck look smaller in this than he is in the rest of the movie? he looks more in the face as he looks under the cowl for that nightmare scene also, just saying it sounds like spin on Snyder's part is all, and if he's fibbing about that what else could he be fibbing about as well as other people? After all every lied about the Whedon debacle until the Snyder Cut was green lit, so not like we can really trust anyone to be truly honest with this property.
