Is THE AYER CUT worth fighting for? Could David Ayer's campaigning for it backfire?

The Snyder Cut is upon us – but rather than rejoicing over that, many switched their focus to the Ayer cut, and first among them, is David Ayer himself.
While @AndreEinherjar supports releasing the Ayer Cut, he is none the less of the opinion that the means of going about it seem a bit on the opportunist side. In this editorial, he will go through what the Ayer cut is, and why it is understandable that David Ayer would want to see it released - before explaining why in his opinion, the way he has chosen to go about it was a bad one, which might even decrease the chances of it being released.

I think it would backfire. Justice League is a terribly terribly dissapointing film, so to make improvements from it would be easier. Even if it's just a tiiiinnnyyyy bit better it's already a whole lot better.

Suicide Squad on the other hand, is merely mediocre. It's not actually very bad, it just have the blandest uncreative underwhelming villain: a light pillar to the sky, which was already done in Avengers just a few years prior.

I don't think a new cut can alter so much as removing the light pillar and inserting a new badass super ultra villain (because the heroes in this movie are already super villains, so the villain must be a super ultra villain.)

If it still have the light pillar villain, it wouldn't matter how painstakingly made the editing was done. It's would still be a mediocre movie. It's simply TOO fundamental.
