Questions We Have After Watching The Snyder Cut

Fans of director Zack Snyder's vision of the DCEU can finally watch Zack Snyder's Justice League. But that doesn't mean all of our questions are answered.

Not long after he emerges in Themyscira, Steppenwolf is contacted by DeSaad regarding his progress in conquering Earth. During their exchange, we learn that Steppenwolf is not Darkseid's favorite guy right now. Steppenwolf begs for the chance to return home once he conquers Earth, a plea Desaad reacts to with anger. He says Steppenwolf's "self-pride" made him betray Darkseid, and this is why he still owes the ruler 50 thousand worlds before he can return home.

As for the betrayal Desaad is talking about, the most obvious answer is that Steppenwolf was part of a rebellion against Darkseid, and perhaps was even its leader. This seems to be the case, since Steppenwolf defends himself to Desaad by saying he saw his mistake and "slaughtered those who sought his throne." It would also accurately reflect the villains' relationship in the source material. But it's never explicitly stated what happened and considering what we know about Darkseid, the notion that Steppenwolf or anyone else could be a part of a failed rebellion against him and survive the experience is nothing short of miraculous.

It's also worth noting that Steppenwolf is nowhere to be seen in the flashback of Darkseid's first attempt to conquer Earth. Could it be that Darkseid blames Steppenwolf, at least in part, for something he did that contributed to the dark tyrant's defeat so many years ago?
