And just like with the One Ring, Man continues to disappoint.
"OK sure, we're the one who taught Sauron how to make those rings, and we helped him make them, and we totally told everyone he was cool, but it's absolutely Men's fault what happened next. Also shut up about the Silmarils, that was probably all humans too. Definitely not our fault. Now we have to go be smug about how wise and pure we are in Valinor, because we're sure not clearing up the fucking mess here."
In an ironic twist of fate, the box given to mankind was the last box to fall into evil hands.
So... ground holes are best security measure?

Of course, "just bury it in a hole" was also the plan for the planet H'lven, as their greatest warrior, Ch'p, aka The Chipmunk Green Lantern*, was hit by a yellow truck and died**

"Also, that sweet island you were given as a gift because of the casualties you suffered at the hands of Morgoth, the gods will sink it if you try to come to Valinor. Because of your other 'gift' of mortality." Thanks, did either of those gifts come with a receipt?
The search for the Mother Boxes doesn't make sense to me. Steppenwolf is reaching Earth after converting 20,000 out of his 70,000 planets for Darkside. You know he's got more Mother Boxes! Those things are to Steppenwolf what Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is to single parents.
Or better yet -- he should show up, see the defenses the Amazons made and then laugh. "Fools! You're guarding Mother Boxes?! That's thousands of years old tech. I've got Unity on my phone now, and it's way faster."

Oh and this ring wasn't destroyed a thousand years ago, when we had the Alliance of Elves and Men? Totally just because Men are weak. We are wise to live in golden forests and we kill everyone who comes near, and now that the world sucks again the asshole Men won't team up with us. Btw, we are wise because we eat organic food and saw two glowy trees, not because we live forever. Men should just die when they die, because that's a gift, but damn they are foolish and weak-hearted. Oh and also we go to the same place when we die, sucks for us.

Giant warrior temples are like huge beacons. There's obviously *something* important in there. Dig a hole in the middle of nowhere, stick your stuff in it, cover it, plant matching groundcover on the dirt patch, and kill the guy who dug the hole and bury him in a different hole far away, take the secret to your grave. There, boom, lost to memory and history and by the time anyone even figures out you buried it you're dead and it's not your problem.

Watched the beginning of the Red Letter Media review, just enough to get the broad overview. They felt like it's a big improvement over the theatrical cut (though this seems to stem more from not being an 11th hour hackjob than the relative merits of the respective directors). More interestingly, they pointed out a few ways in which Snyder's cut had improved on some of the bigger complaints people had with Snyder's previous two DC flicks (Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman), calling into question the necessity of the efforts to change the tone & style for the theatrical release.
The best part in my opinion is when they point out that right around the 2 hour mark, the movie has a 12-minute action scene that ends with the heroes having to escape and figure out what's next. Part of the drive for the theatrical release making so many changes was supposedly the 4 hour run time of Snyder's version, and yet it somehow eluded all the studio people that they could've just cut the whole thing in half with a 'to be continued' and made twice as much money.
I'm a pretty big Snyder critic. I've said multiple times here on the Penny Arcade forums (and elsewhere too) that Snyder sucks, and I stand by that.
But I actually liked the Snyder Cut of the movie. At least, I liked it better than the theatrical cut. It still isn't perfect, and it still has some rather dumb plot holes (see my post above about Darkseid forgetting which planet he left the motherboxes on), and Zack Snyder still doesn't understand Superman as a character. But it was better. I didn't hate it, and I was entertained. There. I said it. Are you happy now, Zack Snyder? I know you care about my opinion very much and I just admitted that you entertained me.
"Better than the theatrical cut" doesn't say much. I mean, the Snyder cut is a bad movie, but it's just ONE bad movie. The theatrical version was two bad movies awkwardly stuck together like that bookshelf I built my wife.

"We threw some dirt over it though, should be good."
And yet no one points out, "Wait, why are we protecting these things at all if they're that dangerous? If we're not going to use them, we should just destroy them."

Assuming there isn't a way the box can be tracked
Which there might be, I was only half paying attention to the first cut and haven't watched the new one yet because four fucking hours

They showed his defeat. He flew away. In a spaceship. Surely those coordinates would have been in their logs or something.

See, Isildur didn't bury it, he tossed it in a river.
Still, he was dead and buried for like 2500 years before it turned up again, and 3000 before it became an issue. Somebody else's problem.

It's Bjorn, he just keeps giving.
He looks guilty, but not guilty enough to do a better job.
Fuck Bjorn.
