The hierarchy of power in the DC universe really is changing.
Filmmaker James Gunn and producer Peter Safran have been tapped to lead DC’s film, TV and animation efforts as co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios, a new division that will replace DC Films:

Professionally he's allegedly a super decent guy and fun to work with so I'm not surprised if he keeps getting jobs when ppl like him. Creatively tho? I got nothing.

As said, in terms of his creative output I have no idea. Though I suppose he got a lot of fans thanks to 300 and Sucker Punch - all style over substance, maybe?

The topic was clearly about people who are way beyond simply "enjoying" his stuff, with words like "Snyderverse cult" and "devoted following" being used, so you tell me.

Even with directors who are big ‘names’ like Jordan Peele or Christopher Nolan don’t have the cults of personality that Snyder currently has.

But a lot of the fans are downright toxic at this point. It’s gotten to the point where they’re throwing bile at anyone who’s not Snyder doing DC films whether it be the Rock or Gunn. They won’t be satisfied unless Snyder has complete control over the DCEU. Some of them were even throwing tantrums because Cavill has a cowlick and the red/blue costume in Black Adam. Or that they used the original Superman score. It’s bordering on psychosis at this point.
At least with NWH the fans moved on after the film came out. A decade from now the Snyder cultists will be screaming #restorethesnyderverse into the void.

That's not the point.
What is known is that the "Snyderverse crowd" wants Snyder to complete his arc. #RestoringTheSynderverse is not about him having control over DC for the next 30 years, it's about finishing his movies featuring his iteration of the characters. At this moment, the DCEU has been very much in limbo and half in half out with releasing the Snyder Cut, half rebooting SS, doing The Batman, etc.. During the Black Adam promo cycle and everything leading up The Rock, and WB to an extent, made a point of courting the "Snyderverse crowd." The studio, with its flip-flopping management been sending mixed signals - calling it a cul-de-sac one minute, building on it the other. Nobody is asking The Rock to "surrender."
