Zack Snyder Responds To THE BOYS' "Dawn Of The Seven" JUSTICE LEAGUE Parody

Yesterday, Prime Video shared a trailer for film-within-a-show Dawn of the Seven, and The Boys season 3 promo video was clearly meant as a parody of Justice League. Now, director Zack Snyder has responded.

In the world of Prime Video's The Boys, the members of The Seven star as themselves in a series of Vought International-produced superhero movies, and season 3 will feature the world premiere of "Dawn of The Seven: The Bourke Cut."

Clearly parodying the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League, the fictional film's trailer spotlights a major scene that needed to be reshot when Stormfront's past was made public in the season 2 finale. The footage sees Homelander distance himself from his former lover ("guess this means we're breakin' up... Nazi bitch") as his teammates rally to take on the powerful supe.

The show has taken swipes at DC and Marvel movies in the past (that's kinda the whole point), but it's all in good fun, and Snyder is clearly taking this parody in his stride.

PJ Byrne, who plays Dawn of the Seven director Adam Bourke, responded in-character.

Season 2 of The Boys ended with the death of Butcher's wife and the apparent disbanding of the team. We know they will reunite, however, most likely in attempt to bring down the increasingly psychotic Homelander. Queen Maeve was able to blackmail her rage-fuelled leader into backing off in the finale, but actor Anthony Starr has already confirmed that he will really let loose in Season 3.

It's also been confirmed that the highly controversial Herogasm comic book arc will be adapted, and showrunner Eric Kripke has hinted that the episode will be every bit as depraved as the comic.

Season 3 of The Boys is set to premiere on June 3.

Are people really liking the Snyder movies or is this like a Morbius thing?

@Crtdacct2say - my personal theory: Man of Steel was alright and Marvel was quickly rising to the top with the first Avengers movie. So the fanbase, which was very much believing itself to be at war with the MCU fanbase, put all their money on Zack transporting DC above the heights of Marvel.
When his movies turned out less than stellar the fanbase had already made it's choice, they couldn't walk back on what they said before ("Zack's going to kill Marvel" etc) even if they maybe didn't love what he did with BvS.
So they forced themselves to love it, now it's a borderline cult because they fought so hard to enjoy these movies and only got shelling after shelling.

@Blergh - and not to forget that the media really bought in on the whole Marvel vs. DC train and Snyderfans vs. Critics trend.
It was hard to admit you didn't like a Snyder film as much as you praised it before release.
People don't like to admit that they were wrong

And some people just love edge

@Blergh - Yeah, the thing about teams and fanbases is nowadays is they will defend about anything because it’s their cause. I’ve fallen into that before with sports teams and I see it everyday. For anyone who understands, I had been a Browns fan for around 15 years. They were garbage for 13 of those years. Yet even when their roster was god awful and they literally won 1 game in 2 years, I would still act as if there were things people weren’t seeing and they’re better than people say. The instant defense was insane and I couldn’t help. It wasn’t until recently that the organization did something unforgivable that I stepped away, and sometimes people need that slap in the face by their idols to see how blinded they’d been.

@GameOn - nowadays

Ha ha ha no. On a surface level there's a reason it is called a "Console War," Nintendo vs Sega was huuuuuuuuge, then Nintendo vs Playstation, Playstation vs X-Box, but even then the behavior exists in sports fandoms, cars, early movie studios ... basically it started whenever a second thing was created. This is, in no way shape or form, a new thing.

Zack Snyder only has himself and his cronies at Warner Brothers to blame for the ridicule they get. Instead of utilizing the immensely popular and profitable Dark Knight Trilogy and combining it with Man of Steel and taking Christopher Nolan’s lead in how to approach super hero films, he chose to reboot Batman with an actor the general audience rightly railed against. To say that and the direction he went for the DC universe was a bad idea is an understatement !



The rest is a very unfortunate history for DC! If Warner Brothers ever wants to compete with Marvel they should ignore everything that is DC related that happened after Man of Steel and start over again at the point before everything went to hell.

"Excited to see your vision realized" could be taken either way... a swipe at the director or a pat on the back.

...in part because the trailer had a lot of zak feel in it, not the 'vision' of the actual director.
