They claim Whedon cut 90% of Snyder's stuff and reshot it, which if you take the 5 hour cut thing as gospel means Whedon only used about 30 minutes of Zack's footage, so he filmed 90 minutes of new footage, completely lightened up and redesigned certain CGI scenes and supposedly if Skaathar is even ballpark correct for only $20-30m more than what Snyder used to finish the same special effects as and film 1 or 2 additional scenes...that just does not sound right, Whedon cost about $90-100m to reshoot an entire movie from the ground up and do/redo all the effects from scratch compared to Snyder just needing to finish up the effects on a movie he was less than 6 months away from releasing to the public? Just sounds like PR spin and bullshit to me. I'm having a hard time finding the actual numbers but if I recall correctly, Snyder's original budget for JL was around $250 million. Whedon's additional scenes and reshoots pushed the budget to $300 million. Assuming it's true that majority of Snyder's scenes were already shot but 90% of those scenes weren't included in the final movie, then we're basically saying Whedon was able to create 90% of a block buster with just a $50 million budget. Even if we say there was some left over money from the original budget, it couldn't have been that much seeing as Snyder was supposedly close to finishing the movie when he left. So even if we make that $100 million that Whedon was allowed to work with... he still supposedly made almost an entire movie out of that budget. In comparison, Snyder was given a $70 million budget which he apparently used to shoot only one scene and add final VFX shots? The math doesn't compute. What I read says Snyder's original JL was budgets at $275m and he was 90% complete with the effects, which makes sense as they had enough of it done to show test audiences, which I doubt they would be doing with the effects being only midway done, either early or late stages I can see, mid stages not so much, but I could be wrong. So Whedon's reshoots and editing and stuff supposedly only added $25m to the cost of the movie, which given he supposedly reshot atleast like I said 75% of the movie he released and had to rebuild from the ground up this all sounds like a bunch on nonsense to me, now obviously he could have had more money they just didn't admit to, but surely by now that would have come out given all the other tea being spilt about that production right? But yeah the math does not add up, I think so many are just so engaged with the "victory" for Snyder and the Snyder Cut they willfully turn a blind eye to this to ensure the "win" some more, all to villify Snyder and demonise WB and DC even Whedon more, which is like they don't need you to make shit up to do that, WB/DC and Whedon have enough shit on their faces already, no need to add fake shit ontop of that to prove a point.
