“Zack Snyder’s Justice League” is four hours long — a task for even the most devoted super fans. But Leslie Jones sat down to watch it on Sunday night, tweeting her thoughts and getting her own hashtag trending along the way.
The actress and comedian has become known for her intense reactions to pieces of pop culture, always posting videos of her commentary with her tweets. Most recently, Jones set Twitter ablaze with her love for CNN host Steve Kornacki, live tweeting her reactions to his updates during the 2020 election. “Ok this is next level!” Jones tweeted. “I think I love him lol”
For the Snyder Cut, Jones opted to use her own hashtag: #longassmovie. It’s obviously fitting, given the runtime of the film itself, and because Jones didn’t finish her updates until the wee hours of Monday morning. She seemed to have a clear favorite in Wonder Woman and the Amazons.

That said, Jones still pointed out a few holes here and there. Namely: Diana Prince’s wardrobe. “I mean is one of her superpowers clean clothes?” Jones tweeted.

Some are even hoping that this eventually leads to a role for Jones in the DCEU.

LMAOOO. Leslie Jones live tweeting Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE is everything. She is also saying *exactly* what we really thinking about Henry Cavill's Superman. @Lesdoggg is so damn hilarious! 😂♥️ https://t.co/v6AYlpREgq

I'm usually annoyed when people live tweet their first watches of anything, but goddamn if Leslie Jones watching ZSJL isn't just a joyful experience.
