17 cringeworthy moments towards women in 2017's 'Justice League' that are changed in Zack Snyder's cut

The differences between Joss Whedon's 2017 "Justice League" and Zack Snyder's 2021 version are stark - especially when it comes to women.

When director Zack Snyder and his producing partner and wife, Deborah Snyder, stepped down from the film after the death of their daughter, "Avengers" director Joss Whedon was brought in to finish the movie.

Whedon reportedly used 10% of Snyder's footage in the 2017 cut. Troublingly, many scenes with women in the Whedon version undermine their power, strength, and agency.

Now in 2021, Snyder has been able to make his version of the film. It's remarkable how a slight change in dialogue or shot can dramatically alter the meaning of a scene.

Changes to Wonder Woman's opening scene in 2017 diminished her power and strength as a demigod. The "Snyder cut" fixed that.

The Amazons seemed afraid of the villain in the original cut. You're told these women have no fear in the "Snyder cut."

The original movie makes the Amazons who must "seal the cage" come off as nothing more than beautiful women swinging mallets. The "Snyder cut" fully allows you to appreciate their power.

In the original movie, Steppenwolf tells the Amazon women that they'll love him when he conquers the world. This is completely cut from the new film.

Every Amazon of color is almost completely scrapped in the original movie. Not so in the "Snyder cut."

The 2017 cut portrays a random woman as "crazy." This isn't even in the 2021 movie.

In the theatrical cut, Lois Lane is stripped of her duties as an investigative reporter and put on puff-piece duty. In the new version, she's still processing her loss and hasn't returned to work.

Martha Kent accidentally tells Lois Lane that Clark always said she was the "thirstiest young woman he ever met." This entire scene doesn't appear in Snyder's version.

Whedon's cut doesn't acknowledge that Wonder Woman is smart enough to disarm Bruce Wayne's security system. With a simple line, Snyder's fixes that.

Another one of Wonder Woman's lines is changed when she goes head-to-head with Steppenwolf. In the 2017 film, the line removes the character's agency.

The Flash awkwardly falls onto Wonder Woman's breasts in the original film. The 2021 "Snyder cut" doesn't bother with this nonsense.

One of the first lines Lois Lane says to the love of her life, Superman, when he returns from the dead in the theatrical cut is, "You smell good."

The 2017 film added scenes where Wonder Woman's butt is front and center in the frame. The 2021 movie doesn't bother with these cheap shots.

Wonder Woman is the only one who doesn't want to bring Superman back from the dead in the Whedon cut. In 2021, all the heroes are in agreement.

Wonder Woman's lasso is used against her as a gag for Aquaman to call her gorgeous.

Whedon's cut grounds Wonder Woman on the sidelines for most of the final battle. In Snyder's version, she can fly.

Wonder Woman is denied her right to finish off the villain in the theatrical cut.
