Does it seem ironic to anyone else that Jenkins and Wan have both stated that they don’t consider Joss Whedon’s JL to be canon to their films, even though it arguably fits better in continuity with them? Wonder Woman’s characterization in WW84 honestly seems more at home with how she is in the theatrical version of JL. You could even argue that her being against bringing Superman back to life is because it brought back too many memories of the Dreamstone situation.
Meanwhile, the Snyder Cut gives Mera a British accent and suggests that her parents are dead. I guess you could handwave that by assuming that King Nereus adopted her, but the theatrical cut of JL explicitly avoids having her say that her parents died.

That's weird considering that Zack Snyder himself has said that his version of Justice League is not canon.

Directors are naturally gonna take the side of a fellow director that got their movie taken from them over the studio. We can probably rest assured that it has absolutely nothing to do with preferring one version over the other.

Both of them are 1,000 times the directors Snyder will ever be so I'll take their word for it.

Snyder's cut does a lot of things better than Whedon's cut but Whedon got the personality of the characters right. Or at least better than Snyder did. Well.... maybe except for Cyborg. But Whedon's Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman are all more consistent with the rest of the DCEU than Snyder's take. Flash is roughly the same on both movies.

This just shows to never believe any of the bs these people say, ZS's JL is the better movie imo but the Whedon JL fits with the current DCEU better, for nothing else than they left much more of the interconnectivity of the franchise out, Snyder doubled down on his Diana isolated herself from the world assertion from BVS despite WW contradicting that, and the TC of JL bridging the gap between the two, and cutting most of the atlantis stuff out of JL to leave anything Wan wanted to do to be fine for the most part.
Just shows they are siding with the popular opinion as they will always do because thats the game, it's not to have conviction but to bend to public opinion and agree with whatever is the trendy thing to do.
I would much rather them say their movies fall in line more with the Whedon cut just because it left things more open but they see the Snyder Cut as the superior cut of the two versions, atleast that would seem genuine enough.
