Justice League: Snyder Cut Review (no spoilers)

The Snyder cut for Justice League has finally been released, and long story short, it is MUCH better than the Theatrical cut. Characters like the Flash and Cyborg, who were side characters in the Theatrical cut, become the heart and soul of the Snyder cut. It is actually insane how much of both of their stories were left out of the Theatrical version. It's no wonder why Cyborg's actor Ray Fisher and Joss Whedon clashed so much during the reshoots. Even the villain had a minor glow up, from just deciding to concur the Earth for no good reason in the original, to having an actual motivation in the new version (no details in this review because of spoilers).

Another big improvement is the CGI. While the visual effects won't be blowing people away, they are an improvement over the Theatrical cut. For instance, Superman no longer has that uncanny upper lip, so that memed about eyesore is gone. Steffenwolf also looks much better, especially with his cool now spiky armor. Also, the scenes with Barry Allen running just look fantastic.

And finally, the story itself is just better. Part of it is the 4 hour run-time (double the Theatrical cut) but several of the storytelling decisions in this version are just better. Once again, I can't go into to much detail, but I found the story this time around much more compelling.

Overall, I would recommend checking out the Snyder cut. If you have an HBO Max account and four hours to spar, sit down and give it a watch. I think HBO Max gives out free trials, so keep an eye out for any such deals. I'll give Justice League: Snyder Cut a 7/10. Not amazing, but definitely an improvement.

Staying Organized

With the transition to online learning, staying organized is going to be difficult. Here are three quick tips to keeping yourself organized with this new platform! 1. Keep a Planner When you’re working from home, it can be easy to forget what time, day, or even week it is. Keeping a planner and updating it daily is vital for keeping track of due dates and schedules. When you don’t have a regular class schedule, it’s important to keep a planner so that you know when your Zoom meetings are, when your assignments are due, and how that fits in with the rest of your schedule. There are so many online planner resources if you prefer to do it on your phone or computer; otherwise, Amazon has excellent planner options as well. 2. Continue to Use a School Bag I know it sounds kind of strange to use a bag when you’re staying home all day, but hear me out. If you still keep all of your stuff in your bag, not only have you contained the mess of schoolwork that you have, but y...

Mackenzie Murphy on "Snacks for Those Who Have Our Backs"

I've always been someone who has been involved in the community. I have always had a passion for making a difference and giving back to those in need. Much of my involvement and love for serving others, stems from the way I was raised. I am one of six kids, with the last three of us having been adopted. My mom is a retired nurse and worked for the State of NH, so I was raised with foster children and teenagers living with us for much of my childhood. Through the years, I have learned to never judge a book by its cover, to always help out those who may need a helping hand and make sure I give back to those who give so much, as my parents have been shining examples throughout my life. Through my involvement, I have served on many different community boards and organizations and tried to lend a hand whenever I saw the opportunity. However, I always felt like I wasn't doing "enough" and wanted to make a bigger impact. The perfect moment came when I was on a Zoom ca...
