Mexico City.- Although the fandom is largely dedicated to the Snyder Cut Justice Act, it is not in vain that it is a triumph of DC fans who shook heaven and earth until Zack Snyder’s version saw the light, there are aspects of the film that are criticized.
It’s a sequence that takes place in the opening section of the film, when Bruce Wayne tries to recruit Arthur Curry. To find the Atlantean, Ben Affleck’s character travels on foot and rides through frozen mountains to meet Aquaman in a small, frozen seaside town, the Westfjords.
In the village tavern, Jason Momoa’s character rejects Bruce Wayne’s proposal to join his group of metahuman warriors and form an alliance that faces a great and imminent threat that could put an end to Earth.
And when the angry Aquaman leaves the tavern to enter the icy waters of the sea, the villagers begin to sing a song known as “Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu”, an Icelandic poem that, over time, has become a song of traditional northern swing and a folk song by Jón Ásgeirsson. A song that was performed by the glittering star Björk.
In any case, many fans considered the inclusion of this musical passage quite forced and complain, above all, that the song is very durable. Also, the fact that one of the women singers smells the sweater that Arthur Curry left on the shore makes the end of the strange scene somewhat uncomfortable.
The sequence could have fit better with a shorter version of the song … but on Snyder Cut, with almost four hours of filming, the director’s time was freest.
