Hire Zack Snyder to Direct Mark Waid's Irredeemable

The Issue

For years, superstar comics writer Mark Waid has been absolutely livid on Twitter about the movie Man of Steel, following an incident in a movie theater when Waid actually had an out of body experience to witness himself standing up and yelling at the movie screen because Superman kills Zod (spoiler alert). Three years later, and the famously hot-headed Waid is just as MAAAAAAAD about Superman killing as he was when the movie debuted, and will go to any lengths to convince people of what he believes to be an irrefutable fact: Superman shouldn't kill.

Mark Waid has just had his creator-owned comic, Irredeemable, optioned by Fox for a movie. Irredeemable is about... wait for it... an evil Superman analog that kills. Take a moment to savor that.

We propose that Fox hire Man of Steel director Zack Snyder to helm the Irredeemable movie, as this would drive Waid absolutely crazy, and let's face it, he's at his most entertaining when he's crazy (which is, admittedly, most of the time). Further, we suggest that Snyder, just to really push Waid over the edge, insist that Irredeemable character "The Plutonian" refuse to kill. It's true that the rumor mill currently says Ant-Man co-writer Adam McKay is set to direct Irredeemable, but it's not too late to fire him, and we're sure he'll understand.

If you agree that it's in the public interest to make Mark Waid really, really mad on Twitter so that we can all watch him melt down and lovable comic book websites can get viral articles out of screencapping his tweets, please show your support by signing this petition. Thank you in advance.

(Our apologies to Irredeemable co-creator Peter Krause for potentially ruining his movie with Zack Snyder's terrible directing just to prank Mark Waid, but we're sure he gets that this is for the greater good. He knows Mark Waid, after all.)
