Zack Snyder followers, it would be time to let go. That is coming from somebody who loves Man of Metal, thinks Batman v Superman: Final Version is underrated, and counts Zack Snyder’s Justice League as certainly one of my favourite superhero motion pictures of all time. Heck, I gave Insurgent Moon a glowing overview and am totally on board for no matter he does subsequent!
However as far because the “Snyderverse” goes? It’s time to stay a fork in it. It’s accomplished. However some followers can’t let go and are taking their frustrations out on James Gunn’s upcoming Superman. It ought to be underlined that Snyder and Gunn have been associates since they labored on 2004’s Daybreak of the Useless collectively and aren’t in competitors with one another.
However, amidst the onslaught of Snyder followers who simply need Henry Cavill again (guys, it’s not taking place), one has possibly gone a teeny bit too far. Consumer @KS05020 posted a mashup of Snyder’s face on Osama Bin Laden’s portrait and promised, “Y’all ain’t prepared for July. I’m gonna be Osnyder Bin Laden all month lengthy”:

Now, the charitable studying is that this person goes to be wreaking havoc on social media as a part of a marketing campaign in opposition to Superman. Or, because the FBI apparently interpreted it, the message meant “I’m going to commit high-profile acts of violent terrorism”.
Not the neatest publish
As such, somebody anonymously reported the publish to Reno Police and the FBI, who apparently responded by sending a SWAT workforce to their home on the premise that this was a severe terror menace:
FBI investigating Snyder cultists for terrorism was not on my 2025 bingo card.

It’s unknown what occurred to this poster, although their X account not exists. This was pretty transparently a joke, so right here’s hoping essentially the most punishment they obtained is a stern telling off from the FBI (and possibly their mother yelling at them).
Within the meantime, may Snyder followers please relax a bit? Zack Snyder is completed with DC, Henry Cavill has moved on, and there was all the time finally going to be one other Superman film in some unspecified time in the future. Towards all odds, we bought Zack Snyder’s Justice League and it was nice, simply take the win!
Should you don’t suppose James Gunn’s Superman appears pretty much as good as Man of Metal that’s high-quality, however simply skip it in theaters and, I dunno, possibly rewatch Snyder’s often-overlooked battle owl epic Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole.
