   Madlove to All   
   JW Likes Tweet Panning JLA Movie Villain

   From: madlove@arkham.dc   
      
   I want to talk a little about Justice League's villain, Steppenwolf, and   
   some DC fans' reactions to Joss Whedon liking a tweet that criticizes   
   that character.   
      
   First off, a vocal segment of DC movie fans lost their minds when Whedon   
   liked this tweet by Vanity Fair senior writer Joanna Robinson.   
      
   Witness the Joss Whedon Steppenwolf tweet debacle of 2017:   
      
        #JusticeLeague’s Steppenwolf is the worst comic book movie villain   
   of all time and not even Malekith the Accursed comes close.

   I’m not sure if I’m ready to agree that he’s the worst comic book movie   
   villain ever when Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer featured   
   Galactus as a cloud (remember that?), but Steppenwolf is unquestionably   
   near the nadir when it comes to superhero movie villains. In any case,   
   Whedon seemed to agree that the villain in the movie he extensively   
   reshot after the departure of original director Zack Snyder is awful,   
   which, as you may have guessed, got some hardcore DC/Snyder fans pretty   
   riled up:   
      
        .@joss We saw the tweets you liked.   
        Your behavior speaks for itself.   
      
        He asked you for help.

        .@joss You are absolutely repulsive. How dare you even like this tweet?   
      
        Your fingerprints are all over this film & you have yet to voice   
   out any kind of support for it. You are despicable & you have   
   singlehandedly ruined @ZackSnyder’s #JusticeLeague.

        Some thoughts: Justice League is a great movie, but all the "bad"   
   things in it are clearly the work and direction of @joss.   
        Also, his "like" to the tweet trashing Steppenwolf is   
   disgusting.@wbpictures do not make that Batgirl movie.   
        We don't need uninspired, badly made movies.
