I personally love most of the stuff Snyder has done, both DC and his other work. But my God are the die-hard fanboys unbearable. Bro just likes making movies and seems hella chill. No need to act like the guy is the messiah

Another said,

I’m not the biggest fan of Snyder, but on the whole, he seems like a decent person but god do his more die-hard fans suck.

His fans make me kinda embarrassed to be a casual enjoyer of his films, but yeah the man himself is cool. Everyone who’s worked with him has nothing but nice things to say about him, and that doesn’t surprise me.
