The controversies surroundingThe Flash’slead star still seem to haunt the DC film. While many are criticizing the studio for continuing with the film despite Miller’s run-in with the law, the film is also being criticized by Snyderverse fans.
They started comparing its CGI with The Rock’s DC film saying that it has the same“awful filmmaking”asBlack Adam.They started pointing out the issues regarding CGI in the film. A Twitter user compared the fighting sequence fromThe FlashandMan of Steel, pointing out the fault in the upcoming DC film’s CGI.
In Man Of Steel, we see what happens to a pilot getting punched by a Kryptonian. His head explodes.
In The Flush, Supergirl punches a guy and he flies like a Looney Tunes character.
Just like what happened in Black Adam. Awful filmmaking.pic.twitter.com/sPyg36zVQQ

Snyder treated Superman as if he were real. He’s the only director in years that made it feel like Superhero’s could exist.

The Flash looks awful and it’s so funny to me that it’s using Man of Steel’s characters/setting to hype it up

Well, we were right. The Flash is erasing Man of Steel, the battle in the desert with Zod MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. His goal was to wipe humanity, why would he go to the desert? Just because some idiots cry over the destruction of Metropolis?SMFHI won’t even watch TF pirated.
