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.
