While Marvel’sAvengersfilms went on to become huge blockbusters, DC’sJustice Leagueunfortunately did not have similar luck. Despite huge superstars like Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot lending their name to the franchise along with director Zack Snyder’s ambitious vision, the film did not set the box office on fire. Further, Joss Whedon taking over from Snyder mid-way through the film, threw up a ton of issues on and off-set.
TheMan Of Steeldirector went on to make amends later by releasing his 4-hour Snyder Cut, which managed to encompass all that he had envisioned for the original film.

Fans Questioned The Fate Of The Mother Box In Zack Snyder’sJustice League
After the dismal reception thatJustice Leaguegot on its release, it was up toZack Snyderto redeem the film for ardent DC fans. The filmmaker did just that through his Snyder Cut that ran for 4 hours, and incorporated all of his initial visions for the film. While DC buffs lauded Snyder’s efforts, they also proved why they were extremely knowledgeable fans as well, with their analysis of certain scenes in the film that were not up to the mark.
One of the aspects of Zack Snyder’sJustice Leaguethat fans questioned, was the fate of the Mother Box. As known through the narrative, the Amazons, the Atlanteans, and the humans, were each entrusted with a Mother Box. While the first two groups uncompromisingly protected it and even risked their lives in the process, fans noted that the humans did not display similar caution.
As a result, the humans’ strategy of digging a hole and dropping the Mother Box in it, backfired big time, as it became extremely easy and obvious to find. This unconvincing hiding spot ultimately led Steppenwolf to track the Mother Box without much sweat. This lack of conviction led DC fans to criticize Zack Snyder’s decision-making in the film.
