Snyder Cut Leaked... By Warner Bros.?
Last night, Warner Bros. went through sort of a crisis when arguably their most anticipated project to come to HBO Max since its launch, "Zack Snyder's Justice League" or the "Snyder Cut" was made available on the platform 10 days before its release... in place of the latest "Tom and Jerry" reboot.
Yes, somehow a multi-million dollar corporation took their biggest product, a four-hour superhero epic that has been anticipated for at least three years and is not even on the platform yet, and put it on in place of a children's movie.
I cannot comprehend how something like this could happen when it is literally their most anticipated product and they fumble it to the internet. Warner Bros. said the mistake
was addressed "within minutes," but reportedly the movie was available for around two hours. Which, no one could have watched the whole thing in that time, but that is plenty of time to fast forward to key moments, as well as the ending and spoil it on the internet.
The fact that it was "Tom and Jerry" is also interesting because it is a family oriented film. "Tom and Jerry" is rated PG while the new "Justice League" is rated R.
"Tom and Jerry" is the latest Warner Bros. movie that was a part of their plan to release simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. Even with that, it is too large of a coincidence for it to happen when it could have played before any other movie.
Imagine the comedy that ensued on the internet, an 8-year-old logs onto HBO Max to watch "Tom and Jerry" before bed and instead sees a violent superhero action movie. This is not very laughable to parents, but is laughable to internet trolls.
It certainly garnered a lot of attention online as many people were talking about it on Twitter. Perhaps this was some sort of bizarre marketing strategy by Warner Bros. to gain more attention for their film? I am just theorizing here, but I find it difficult to buy that this was an accident.
It also could have a technician at Warner Bros. who is against the "Snyder Cut" being released, thinking that nothing can improve the theatrical version or they just do not like Zach Snyder, DC Comics, or superheroes in general.
I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts on the matter and how many think it was no accident, because there are too big of coincidences for it to be their biggest movie, that is not even out yet, to be "accidentally" leaked.
