Is James Gunn’s 'Superman' in Trouble? Snyderverse Fans Launch Operation 'Sabotage'
Snyder loyalists refuse to let their cinematic universe die quietly.
While James Gunn is busy crafting a brand-new Superman for the DC Universe, a certain corner of the fandom is busy crafting… chaos.
A dedicated Snyderverse supporter, still waving the battered flag of #RestoreTheSnyderVerse, has taken to social media to unveil a three-step plan they believe will "take the fight back" to Gunn — who, in their words, "fired the first shot and killed the Snyderverse."
Yes, this is real. And yes, it’s about as effective as a Kryptonian with a hangover.
Here’s the master plan:
- Watch Superman (yes, they still have to buy a ticket), then immediately flood the internet with spoilers.
- Tank the reviews with low ratings to "balance the bias with realistic scores."
- Reserve cinema tickets but don’t buy them, so the so-called "gunnbots" can’t get seats.
It’s equal parts dramatic and counterproductive. Social media didn’t hold back: some dubbed the idea "childish," others pointed to the "toxic fandom" that threatens the very franchise it claims to love, and a few helpfully reminded everyone that step one — watching the film — kind of defeats the purpose.
Because if you’re paying for the ticket… aren’t you just helping the box office?
But here’s the thing: whether you adored Zack Snyder’s moody myth-making or not, the Snyderverse has officially wrapped. It was bold, it was brooding, and it’s now part of DC’s cinematic past. Gunn has been handed the keys to the kingdom, and Superman is the fresh start.
So maybe — just maybe — it’s worth watching the film before throwing tomatoes.
While some are plotting in group chats, others are buying popcorn. And who knows? Gunn’s Superman might just soar.
