Why didn't they just release the R-rated version of this in theaters in the first place?

Why didn't YOU release it

How would they trick people into paying for it twice if they released "the good version" first?
Too intense for normies
We thought cutting 30 minutes and decreasing the age of entry would result in more screenings per day and a larger audience among teenagers. Not only did we compromise the quality of our film, we discredited the visionary legacy of Zack Snyder and didn't break a billion

R rated would have not lead to less sales but an even larger snap back to the "too dark" to where SS would be edited to MLP levels
Because it's even more boring
They didn't want to miss out on shekels
Reminder that Snyder knew all along that couldn't possibly be the theatrical cut and the shorter cut is entirely his fault as well
Also that extended cuts do not count when talking about the quality of a film
They did the same for Watchmen, god that cut was horrible

Not nessesarily, avengers almost got an R rating for some MPAA bullshit and they had no idea, probably same for this unless it's multiple f bombs
I wouldn't doubt WB overruled Snyder and put more JL stuff there because they didn't trust him fully, not that that's not understandable

Snyder is Jewish tho
