Zack Snyder is sharing his thoughts on the Barbie joke about his cut of Justice League.
The joke comes after Ryan Gosling’s Ken brings the patriarchy to Barbieland after visiting the real world. After the Barbies start waking up from their hypnotic state, Alexandra Shipp’s Writer Barbie says, “It’s like I’ve been in a dream where I was really invested in the Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League.”
In a new interview, Snyder clarified that the joke was more about fandom but gave props for the funny line.
“I thought [Barbie] was great,” Snyder told Men’s Health. “And I think the joke is pretty good.”
He later said, “The thing that I said to Debbie is – the thing that you need to take a second and think about is that your name is so seamlessly sewed together with a pop culture phenomenon so big it can exist as a joke in a movie about Barbie. That’s pretty insane. You just need to step back for a second and go like, ‘Whoa, what did we do? What happened? How is that a thing?'”
The Snyder Cut that the Barbie movie referred to was a cut of the Justice League film directed by Snyder before Joss Whedon took over as the director. Whedon took over the director role in Snyder’s absence and took the film in a different direction which would go on to underperform at the box office. Fans of Snyder’s work then started a campaign to “Release the Snyder Cut,” which would eventually become a reality when Zack Snyder’s Justice League was released on Max in 2021. Snyder’s version of Justice League was darker and grittier and included bonus footage filmed for the extended-release.

Thanks to the long, drawn out process of bringing “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” to the screen, people are now obsessed with the idea of Zack Snyder doing director’s cuts of his films. So, even before anyone saw one frame of his new film, “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire,” there was already extensive discussion about his R-rated director’s cut.
Having already made a sizeable TV mark with popular franchises like “Stranger Things” and “Squid Games,” Netflix obviously wants its own in-house epic “Avatar” or “Dune” sci-fi blockbuster franchise for the cinema (irony not lost here). Having made a home for director Zack Snyder, post-short-lived DC Universe, with “Army Of The Dead,” they’re clearly banking on the filmmaker’s latest effort, “Rebel Moon”—a big blustery and fabulist space opera in the vein of “Star Wars”— and to be the next big thing.
Zack Snyder’s forthcoming sci-fi space opera “Rebel Moon” is a project he’s been kicking around for over ten years. It started out as an R-rated “Star Wars” film idea in 2012 that he pitched to Kathleen Kennedy.
Zack Snyder‘s new sci-fi film Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child Of Fire has been branded a “disaster” in scathing first reviews.Part One, which will be released on Netflix on December 22, stars Sofia Boutella as fearsome warrior Kora, a stranger with a mysterious past who crash lands on a moon and begins a new life among a peaceful settlement of farmers. However, she soon becomes their only hope of survival after they find themselves entangled with a tyrannical leader.The film also stars Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Cleopatra Coleman, Jena Malone, Ed Skrein, Fra Fee and Anthony Hopkins, who plays an android on a journey of self-discovery.Initial reviews are now circulating online, with most critics heavily criticising the film’s “incoherent” and “generic” plot.In a one-star write-up, The Independent described Snyder’s sci-fi movie as an “incoherent shambles,” adding: “It’s a film populated by some of the Justice League Snyder Cut filmmaker’s worst impulses: a mess of imagery, some of it attempting to shock, congregated largely around the idea of what might look good in a trailer.”The Guardian branded the film a “disaster” and criticised the lack of character development, nondescipt greenscreened locations, and “stultifyingly generic plot”.IGN was similarly scathing, writing: “Despite a great ensemble cast, Zack Snyder’s space opera is let down by a derivative patchwork script, mediocre action sequences and a superficial story that fails to live up to its expansive promise.”Meanwhile, in a two-star review, Empire wrote: “It’s well known that Rebel Moon was originally conceived as a Star Wars movie.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Zack Snyder is a pop-fantasy filmmaker who now has a fanboy cult around him. In the two decades since he made his feature directorial debut with the grainy unsettling 2004 reboot of “Dawn of the Dead,” Snyder’s flamboyant fusion of visual wizardry, technological fixation, and kick-ass spirit has made him, at least in some quarters (read: the Comic-Con and video-game demo), a creative hero for the Age of Escapism. Fans who grew up feasting on such Snyder extravaganzas as “300,” “Watchmen,” and “Sucker Punch” then saw his much-ballyhooed entrée into the DC comic-book sphere marked by ambitious but maligned misfires.
Zack Snyder‘s Rebel Moon-Part 1: Child of Fire his latest foray into science fiction, ambitiously attempts to weave a tale of interstellar rebellion and personal redemption. Written by Snyder, and co-written by Kurt Johnstad and Shay Hatten, the film struggles under the weight of its own aspirations, lacking the distinct personality often associated with Snyder’s works. The film delivers on the visual aesthetics, the film falters in delivering a compelling story.

In a film about feminism and overall female empowerment, such as “Barbie,” it can’t feel good to have one joke aimed directly at you, seemingly used to sum up the current male-driven toxic fandom in film.
