Not another disposable army

The Justice League is very powerful, and its heroes possess numerous and various superpowers. And this means that their first enemy needs to be extremely powerful, as well. Will we get that?

Hopefully we will. However, there is a downside to this. As the visit on the Justice League set has revealed, and as it was hinted in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Parademons will play an important part in the story. They are, after all, the army of Darkseid, with Steppenwolf being their acting leader.

And this has become tiresome. I do believe that, as it has happened before in another shared universe, we will get another disposable army, in the sense that the Parademons will keep the Justice League busy enough until a final confrontation between their leader and the superheroes. In other words, the Parademon forces will have no impact on the Justice League.

If Green Arrow, by any miracle, appears and goes all Hawkeye against the aliens, I’m not seeing another Zack Snyder flick again.

Can this problem be solved? Yes – but only if Zack Snyder delves into the origin of the monstrous creatures from the new 52. If they are just mindless beasts, we’d get another Chitauri army. However, if they are remolded prisoners of Darkseid and the League knows it, the heroes could at least try to save them.

Even if that isn’t possible. Speaking of which…
