The story of the mother boxes felt like it could of worked out amazing IMO if told as a slow build up of what they could really do. It wouldn’t of even had to be as drawn out as the MCU (which could of dropped a few movies and still been good).

That's fair to say.
Imagine if the second Wonder Woman movie was centered around one of the mother boxes waking up, and the chaos that caused as it started calling out to Darkseid to come and get it. The Amazons fighting to stop that transmission, until the box is stolen by....
golden age Barbara Minerva, who is cut by the sacred dagger of an offshoot Amazon tribe that makes her the Goddess of the Hunt. The mother box tries to corrupt her into taking away whatever is stopping the transmission (that the Amazons proper imposed) in return for changing her back into human form.
In the end, the mother box sends out a partial signal, Cheetah is partially returned to Barbara's control, and Steppenwolf appears, killing a bunch of people before boomtubing away.
There. One whole movie on the chaos that one mother box can cause. Justice is about the other two, and the death of Superman. Under three hours. No Max Lord. No goofiness.
Anyway.
