Part 4/8:
The Mystery of How This Happened
The incident has led to questions about the nature of content management at HBO Max. Some point out that replacing files should be relatively simple, yet the delay suggests either a logistical complication or perhaps a strategic move. There is speculation that this could be an inadvertent error or a deliberate attempt to generate buzz or direct traffic toward the platform.
Interestingly, social media posts and entertainment news noted that the movie was trending on platforms like Twitter during the controversy—an unintended bump in visibility perhaps linked to the incident. The timing coincides with renewed discussions of the Snyderverse and other DC projects, fueling theories of coordinated storytelling or major content misdirection.
