Yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported on Marvel hating, DC loving mayor of Long Beach, California Robert Garcia, who is eternally loyal not only to his constituents, but also to his favorite superhero movie and comics universe. After seeing Justice League on opening night, Garcia left the theater hungry for more, calling on Warner Bros to release an Ultimate Edition director's cut even though the movie just hit theaters this weekend.

Garcia seemed to enjoy our report, and encouraged us to give him some more publicity with an additional clickbait article

Hey @bleedingcool, y'all should check out my #JusticeLeague rant from today. https://t.co/SKjve9Oxbx

Mr. Mayor, we're happy to oblige.

After seeing Justice League for the second time on opening meeting, Garcia wanted to break some things down for his Twitter followers.

Just watched #JusticeLeague for second time. Going to break some thoughts down – but yes, loved it again.

As you can imagine, he loved it.

It's a great, action, blockbuster movie. Is it MOS or BvS? No, but that's ok. I've enjoyed all three. MOS is still my favorite because it's a total Snyder creation. I love Zack's art – but obviously many do not (especially critics).

But Garcia thinks critics are unfair to director Zack Snyder, and also to Joss Whedon and Warner Bros.

JL isn't a perfect movie – but it's certainly better than most Marvel movies that automatically get great reviews. Folks should stop blaming @joss, the studio, for what they perceive as trying to fix Snyder's original cut – Snyder left the movie, other people had to finish it.

But Garcia, envisioning a brighter tomorrow for both America and the DCEU, finished by tweeting:

I'm some ways I'm glad Aquaman is a year away. Time for WB and DC to regroup, focus, and get to work expanding this universe that so many people love. Long live DC Comics. 👍🏼❤️
