These new versions also have extended run times and fresh titles, further allowing greater character development and depth. In a Zoom call interview withForbes, the husband-wife duo detailed how the director’s cut involved far more than just insisting on additional scenes in the original movies. Zack Snyder added:
I feel like the thing that’s incredible about this process—that was surprising—was that we made four movies. (Further) People may think that like, ‘Oh, well, you just knocked the director’s cuts out. They’re just the same movie and you just added a couple of shots’ but they are literally four different movies. So, we really had to approach [the films] that way. It just took a lot of effort—more effort than we thought.

Further, her journey begins at a very young age when she gets forcibly separated from her home and raised as a soldier under the oppressive regime of Regent Balisarius (Fra Free).
