My Review of "Zack Snyder's Justice League"
Zack Snyder's Justice League has just come out on March 18, 2021. This was a rumored cut of the Justice League movie for quite a while but that's all it was. Last year it was confirmed that there really was a Zack Snyder cut and it was supposed to be dramatically different from the movie that came out in theatres. I watched the original Justice League quite a while ago in 2017. That was before I was even on Vocal Media so I never reviewed it.

The Last Ronin #1 Director's Cut
LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD for The Last Ronin #1 The Last Ronin is a landmark story for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It feels like the start of a new direction and has the possibility of fresh opportunities. This is strange, though, as the concept was laid out in 1987. Luckily for us, the old idea was dug up and is being modernized and presented now. The book's format is a larger size with bigger panels and a longer length for a more cinematic experience that makes the book stand out. To top it all off, though, and really connect the dots on the story and whole idea, a director’s cut of the first issue was released this week. The timing on this feels pretty good between the second and third issues as it spoils a few things slightly and confirms a few others while leaving you still more excited for what’s to come. Although there is TMNT lore within the story, anyone can jump into The Last Ronin and start with the director’s cut.

Review of 'Those Who Prey'
College life isn't what Emily expected. She expected to spend freshman year strolling through the ivy-covered campus with new friends, finally feeling like she belonged. Instead, she walks the campus alone, still not having found her place or her people so far away from home. But then the Kingdom finds her. The Kingdom, an exclusive on-campus group, offers everything Emily expected out of college and more: acceptance, friends, a potential boyfriend, and a chance to spend the summer on a mission trip to Italy. But the trip is not what she thought it would be. Emily and the others are stripped of their passports and money. They're cut off from their families back home. The Kingdom's practices become increasingly manipulative and dangerous... And someone ends up dead.

Zack Snyder's Justice League Review (SPOILER FREE)
It's difficult to understate the uniqueness surrounding this film. So much so it's difficult to really categorize it to people who haven't been following the biopic-worthy drama behind it. Is it a remake? A director's cut? A sequel? Alternate universe? Is it canon to the rest of the DCEU? The most direct answer is, Zack Snyder's Justice League is simply, the Justice League film we were meant to have way back in 2017. It is Zack Snyder's unfiltered, unhinged, and unrestricted vision for the iconic heroes of the DC Universe.
