Having Zack Snyder take control of the reboot and create a whole new era called the ‘SnyderVerse’ in DC was probably the best decision the studios have taken to date. He brought actors like Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck into the franchise to further enhance the portrayal of fan-favorite characters Superman and Batman on the big screens.
However, despite Snyder’s choices being the perfect match for the superheroes, DC Studios decided on a whole new reboot once again, thus, deserting the SnyderVerse. But do what they want, the projects from Zack Snyder’s era have forever been etched into fans’ hearts, and this is evident from fans’ awed reactions to the recently viral decade-old fight scene from Man of Steel.
Fans Are Still In Awe Of The SnyderVerse Films Even After Almost A Decade
Though not every single one of Zack Snyder’s films for DC has been an incredible success, a part of the blame for this goes to DC studios for sorting out the scenes themselves and not letting the filmmaker have his way of making the utter best of his films. The reviews on Zack Snyder’s Justice League – the director’s cut and his original vision – are the proof of this claim.
Further backing up this claim are the incredibly terrific reviews of fans on the viral fight scene clip from a film from the SnyderVerse. Recently, MyTimeToShineH took to X to bring back the hype that surrounded Henry Cavill‘s Superman in Man of Steel:
The closest we’ll ever get to a Dragon Ball Z fight in live action https://t.co/419C4D7dmw

Following this tweet, several fans on X shared how they are still in awe of Cavill and the marvelous fight scenes in the film despite it being nearly a decade old, having been released back in 2013.
Fans Just Can’t Get Over The Fight Scenes From The SnyderVerse
Zack Snyder has done a remarkable job with his DC projects, and the still-resurfacing fan reactions are proof of that. Following the tweet by MyTimeToShineH, several fans shared how action scenes like the ones in the SnyderVerse films can hardly be seen anywhere else. Here’s what they have to say:
the action in this movie were truly something else ❤️🔥

The action in Man of steel was amazing, it was the first time that the high speed action was really well realized imo. & to see finally this level of power from god like characters like Kal-el or the kryptonians was mind blowing for me 🤯🤩. pic.twitter.com/MhPbcLEMaY

Not only this but some fans even backed up the statement by MyTimeToShineH by continuing to compare the fight scenes from Snyder’s films to the fight scenes in the superhit and ultra fan-favorite action manga cum anime Dragon Ball Z.

@MyTimeToShineH who owns the rights to live action DBZ? Do you think we will ever see another live action DBZ?

Man, when I saw this movie, it restored my faith that a true DBZ film could be done justice.

Turns out James Gunn will have to put a lot of effort into surpassing fans’ expectations of him for the upcoming films from DC Studios considering how high Zack Snyder has set the bar with his films from the SnyderVerse.
