Zack Snyder's Justice League

Stupidity: To save the people from rubble falling on their heads Flash does not move them aside like he did with his future love, but does some strange manoeuvre which takes seconds - since we see people moving normally - and happens in midair (how does he get there?) and that does not take care of a huge chunk of concrete which he does nothing about, shouting just "No!", but Cyborg has all the time he needs to load his Mega Man arm and vaporize it in midair. (02:00:00)

Sammo

Stupidity: Wonder Woman is fast and strong enough to utterly murder (you can see blood prints on the wall for each person she knocks away) a dozen of terrorists shooting at her, but then with the fight already won she decides to finish off the last guy. So she summons in the room full of hostages an energy blast powerful enough to hurt a New God and that destroys the front of the building, creating debris that nearly kills the police force outside for massive damage to the municipality. What a hero. (00:24:10)

Sammo

Stupidity: A massive fire of unexplained origin and uncommon persistence kept for hours the fire brigade busy at the Amazon temple, making news all across the world. Of course Diana just waltzes by without any security, media, scientist, and the mysterious arrow which started the fire was clearly not taken in as evidence or anything.

Sammo

Stupidity: Wonder Woman gets back to confront the single terrorist still standing; he shoots a single bullet which she parries. The guy is stunned realizing what happened, switches to full auto, starts shooting in an arc. WW is quick enough to run and parry effortlessly and with precision every single bullet from an HK416 (over 700r/s), but somehow is too slow to jump him. With such godly speed, it's unfathomable she even gave him the time to react and switch mode. And she nearly gives him time to reload and fire later. (00:23:15)

Sammo

Stupidity: Aquaman asks Victor "How do we know you're not working for them?", and the question is treated with the utmost seriousness towards the rest of the movie too when it's obviously nonsensical; Victor has the last Mother Box and could have turned it to Steppenwolf anytime.

Sammo

Other mistake: Barry comes back to his home, replaces the fuse in the fuse box, flips the handle (begs the question of why remove the fuse AND turn off the switch, but whatever), and within 2 seconds every screen in the place is lit up. Sure, a TV might come on that fast, but plenty of those screens are showing data, analysis, etc, running off computers, which would take longer than that to boot up and get everything running.

Question: I'm not a huge fan of DC, so I don't know much about any characters outside of Batman and his rogue's gallery. All the pictures I've seen of Steppenwolf from the comics show him to have a human appearance, with a goatee. Was his monstrous appearance in this film, and to a lesser extent the theatrical version, taken from the comics at all? If not, why drastically change the way the character looks?

Chosen answer: In the comics Steppenwolf traditionally has a very human appearance. He is tall and muscular with tan skin, black hair, and a moustache and goatee. Some of Steppenwolf's animated appearances show him essentially the same but with grayish/green skin, giving him an appearance somewhat similar to the 2017 Justice League version. According to Zack Snyder, the version of Steppenwolf in the 2021 version of Justice League was purposefully designed way back during the filming of Batman vs. Superman as not just a threat to the Justice League, but to the entire planet, hence the monstrous appearance. Warner Brothers made Snyder tone down the design because, according to him, they felt it was too frightening and intense for a PG-13 film. The version of Steppenwolf in Snyder's film has a very alien appearance, with the character's signature horns being part of his physiology rather than a part of his battle helmet, an immensely muscled physique, and covered in spiked armor.
