The Snyder Cut Of 'Justice League' Accidentally Streams To People Trying To Watch 'Tom And Jerry'
Zack Snyder's Justice League has another chapter to add to its fraught development history when earlier this week, HBO Max accidentally leaked it to Tom and Jerry viewers.
Twitter user Doug Bass (@ThenDougSaid) was the first person to catch the glitch, at least online, and reported, "The CGI finally rivals that of Marvel and you’re gonna love it. That’s all im saying. No spoilers. Get excited."
Naturally, this led to a wave of eager Snyder fans rushing to exploit the glitch before it was discovered by HBO Max, but with little success. User @grbal_ said he saw about 2 hours of the film, which is less than half of its reported 4+ hour runtime, before being served Tom and Jerry, which must have been quite the tonal whiplash.
Speaking to Variety, an HBO Max spokesperson confirmed the glitch happened but was "addressed within minutes."
For what its worth, Bass said that he is no DC fan and wasn't giving much thought to the Snyder cut's March 18th release. However, after seeing the film, he is significantly more hyped.

That must have been traumatizing for the kids. Expecting Tom and Jerry and instead getting Zack Snyder.

For anyone who wants to see the Snyder cut, I've got a legitimate question:
Seriously, most people hated "Batman V Superman", and that was 100% Snyder. Granted, the new Justice League would improve in a lot of the things that the original release got wrong, but what if it sucks?
I'm not saying it sucks, I haven't seen it, but what if that happens?

It's probably going to suck, but the principle of catering to paying fans is more important.

What matters is not if the movie is good or not, but that the movie is available at all. There was no good reason the original cut should be made unavailable for this long. It took more effort to keep the original cut away from people who were willing to pay to see it than just releasing it earlier.
I'm sure it'll suck; I have no faith in "Hack" Snyder, but it still should be there for those who wanted to see it.
Besides, it'll be fun to compare the two cuts and see which is worse and why. Or if they both suck equally, then compare how they suck differently.

You mean, besides the fact that it didn't exist and it took $70 million plus enough reshoots to make a new movie?
