Turns out, Rebel Moon‘s slew of not-so-positive reviews also couldn’t hinder Zack Snyder’s standing with Netflix. As the streaming giant honored the director in a unique way by making him his own user profile icon, that means Netflix users can essentially now become Snyder while binge-watching their favorite movies or shows. Despite Netflix’s connections with greats like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, they chose to bestow this honor upon Snyder for reasons not yet disclosed, causing a buzz among fans online.
