In terms of improvement, there are a lot of things that visibly amplified Zack Snyder’s Justice League . Whether you count the best visual effects, an infinitely improved Batman and Wonder Woman, or the fact that Snyder rectified many plot holes created by the theatrical version of the film . But despite his pristine treatment of history, it still left a rather confusing plot behind him – Darkseid forgetting that the anti-life equation existed on Earth despite being the only planet that fought its invasion and won. . But Snyder has an answer ready to explain this inconsistency.
Apparently, Darkseid not remembering this crucial information is explainable after all. Recently, Zack Snyder was asked by a fan that Darkseid forgot the one planet that had defeated him. He came to Earth with the mother boxes, found the anti-life equation here, and yet he doesn’t remember a thing. In fact, it’s Steppenwolf who finds out the equation and informs his master, who is surprisingly shocked to hear the news. Why?
“He almost died when he returned to the apocalypse, he was in a power struggle and a lot of time passed before he was in a position of power again and at that point all those who were with him had been killed.
According to Snyder, there are several reasons Darkseid forgot about Earth as the planet housing the anti-life equation. For starters, he was badly injured by Ares’ attack when he was taken away from Earth by his minions. A long struggle for power adds to the hazy confusion of all the chaos that followed. From the dialogues in the Snyder Cut, it is evident that Darkseid was not always in power – there was once a coup planned to take his throne and he fought to regain power. Steppenwolf was one of the few who attempted to betray Darkseid and failed. That’s why he’s on Earth – he schedules planets for his master, repays his debt to Darkseid for not killing him, and waits to be allowed to return home.
So, for a very long time, after returning from Earth in a badly injured state, Darkseid was engaged in a power struggle and according to Zack Snyder it took a long time for him to regain that lost power. In the battles that followed, all who had fought alongside him on Earth were dead. And that’s why Darkseid had no recollection that the “world that fought back” was also where the anti-life equation was.
A little fragile, don’t you think?
Darkseid is a conqueror of worlds – he has conquered and dominated thousands of worlds to completely annex them. So, for such a usual winner, losing to a small planet and indeed coming back defeated is a memory that should have been etched in his mind. After all, he was the mighty ruler of Apokolips defeated by a small planet! And yet being hurt and fighting a power battle somehow washed his mind?
What could have been a more plausible explanation is that when Darkseid invaded Earth centuries ago, he encountered an army of Amazonians, Atlanteans, humans, gods, and other races. aliens. This could have made it impossible for him to recognize that it was in fact the “land of men”, that is to say the Earth.
