Here's the abridged version. Warner Bros kicked director Zack Synder off of justice league half way through production and had Joss Whedon redo/reshoot the film. So the whedon version of justice was came out. Once that flopped and WB needed something stream on their streaming service they rehired Synder to finish his version of the film which had significant changes. The Synder cut was like 4 hours while the original release was around 2 hours. This kind of feels like the reverse where Nakayama(our Synder stand in) got to release his version first then got replace by Yoshihara to re-edit and according to the thread re-record a version of season 1 for a streaming platform and cut down on the run time. Context is a bit different as Yoshihara's job for this instance is to condense 12 episodes into 2 movies and no one had to died in order to replace Nakayama.
