I've apparently completely edited that out of my memory. I actually liked the movie so I'm not gonna go google pics and refresh my memory. The edited version is better.

for everyone that don't get the reference to a mid 80's comedy, that is C. Thomas Howell
was trying to think and even had chatgpt list off stuff, the only things that i saw that i liked was the expanse, she was the worse part of the show by a mile. the other was the in the heat of the night tv show, but looked it up, after bill got married, show only lasted 1 more season.

Its been a while since I have seen commando, but I would debate the love interest part. Yes it had a black female, but there was no love interest between them. She was a useful idiot he used to further his plan of revenge. I don't recall the two of them lying on a beach somewhere at the end after he murdered everyone.

White protagonist named Martinez? I guess they mark them along with Indians and Middle Eastern dudes as white for census purposes, so sure

Overall, his films made profits..
Below is a table of key examples (focusing on theatrical releases with available data; budgets and grosses are approximate and exclude marketing unless noted). Profitability is assessed as:
- Highly Profitable: >2.5x budget in gross.
- Profitable: 1.5-2.5x budget (breaks even after costs).
- Break-Even/Loss: <1.5x budget or confirmed net loss.
| Movie | Year | Production Budget | Worldwide Gross | Multiplier | Profitability Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dawn of the Dead | 2004 | $26 million | $102 million | 3.9x | Highly Profitable (strong remake that launched Snyder's career). |
| 300 | 2006 | $65 million | $456 million | 7x | Highly Profitable (iconic hit; net profit ~$400 million after costs). |
| Watchmen | 2009 | $130 million | $185 million (theatrical) + ~$180 million (home video) | ~2.8x (total) | Profitable (underperformed theatrically but recouped via video sales). |
| Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole | 2010 | $80 million | $140 million | 1.75x | Break-Even/Loss (modest gross; one of Snyder's admitted underperformers). |
| Sucker Punch | 2011 | $82 million | $90 million | 1.1x | Loss (critically panned; barely covered costs). |
| Man of Steel | 2013 | $225 million | $668 million | 3x | Highly Profitable (revived Superman franchise; exceeded Superman Returns by 70%). |
| Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | 2016 | $250-300 million | $874 million | 3x | Highly Profitable (5th highest-grossing DC film ever; beat expectations despite mixed reviews). |
| Justice League (Theatrical Cut) | 2017 | $300-370 million | $658 million | 1.8-2.2x | Break-Even/Loss (budget overruns from reshoots; ~$60 million net loss reported). |
| Zack Snyder's Justice League | 2021 | $70 million (reshoots) | Limited theatrical (~$4 million) | N/A (streaming) | Profitable (top HBO Max debut; high Blu-ray sales and viewership offset costs). |
| Army of the Dead | 2021 | $90 million (est.) | N/A (Netflix) | N/A | Profitable (one of Netflix's most-watched originals). |
| Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire | 2023 | $166 million (both parts) | N/A (Netflix) | N/A | Break-Even/Loss (low viewership; criticized as underwhelming for budget). |

As compared to James gunn? MoS at least made money, the new superman was a box office bomb.

Watchmen was a flop at the box office, but turned a profit in the end. It made a lot from physical media and vod.
He hasn't had a theatrical release after justice league, streaming only for Army of the dead and Rebel Moon.
Shazam, Blue Beetle, Black Adam, birds of prey were not part of his plan. While he was producer for ww84 and second suicide squad don't think he had any control over them.

Zack Snyder is a good director, a piss poor writer, and the more control he has over the writing the worse the product is.
