It looks great, she's sexy as hell, powerful, yet feminine. I actually thought that was impossible to do with WW. I love her, and don't care if she looks like the classic character.

My ONLY beef - why is it all being shot underwater? :lol:
Seriously, somebody needs to step in and stop the madness - I want to see more than just cyan in a movie.

Good. Black Widow is boring as f*ck and doesn't need a movie. Before anyone says MUH BUDAPEST it was literally a throwaway exposition line to establish she knows Hawkeye.

I think Gadot's costume certainly is. But with Wonder Woman I guess that's to be expected to some degree.

I guess her getting her classic costume for this franchise is out of the question though... too many colors.

Except for the beyond stupid-as-**** and destroy any kind of immersion, boob cups in armors. The legs aren't all that bad, it's very... Greek. Even a modest sculpted boobs would have been serviceable as Greek bronze armor.

So, hopefully none of the Amazons falls on the chest and break their ribcage and die or gets stabbed by a sword of spear which would be lead by the cup shapes to the weakest point in the armor between the boob-cups and die.

But besides that, it's not too shabby.

It'll be interesting to see the reactions of the non-comic book reading audience. I like the new 52 stuff almost as much as Perez, but I know it can be polarizing to some people.

This looks pretty cool. Gal looks great in the full gettup.

For the record, a Black Widow movie could be very cool. If it was a Red Room origin flick it would be really badass. And her recent series where she's working on atoning is awesome. It would make a good serial on TV, if they could recast ScarJo, whom I've never loved as BW.

How is her outfit revealing? Talk about going overboard being a SJW.


This movie is a hard sell for me since WW has never had the strongest or interesting origin/solo adventures to me and to me this seems like a mix of Thor/Captain America with it taking place in the past and her being from a "mythological" land but I do like seeing WW do cool stuff and she was great in BvS so I'll definitely check it out in theaters if the reviews are good.

We've got an official synopsis! Sounds awesome!

“Wonder Woman” hits movie theaters around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

I'll say this - I have doubts, but not like the doubts I had about BVS.
If I had to guess, it will sit somewhere between Ang Lee's Hulk, and Ant-man.

An ex-WB employee has written an open letter to WB, which contains this little tidbit

What are you even doing? I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn't be such a mess. Don't try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it's another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep REWARDING the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.

Dark Knight came out in 2008, Rises was 2012. not that you ever try to be accurate about anything. And honestly, Rises wasnt any masterpiece there.

The only problem is it literally looks like a remake of the Captain America movie. Just with Diana on her island at the start instead of Steve being experimented on to become a super soldier.

Wonder Woman blocking bullets with her shield was a direct ripoff and/or pandering to the Marvel crowd.

So now any action shot of a hero blocking bullets with a shield is OBVIOUSLY a rip off of Cap and just trying to satisfy Marvel fans. OF COURSE. How dare they.

Why does the DCEU keep going with villains that nobody is really interested in? Steppenwolf instead of Darkseid, Enchantress instead of Joker, and now Doctor Poison instead of Ares? (EDITED TO ADD: Deathstroke instead of any one of a dozen famous Batman villains.)

These decisions worry me. But I'm still excited for the movie, no matter what.

It would be pretty ridiculously short-sighted to jump right into Darkseid (which is actually what I thought they'd be doing). Particularly right after the Doomsday movie. Where do you go after Darkseid? You go down.

Yes, but given the general audience's much cooler reception to the DCEU compared to the MCU, there is valid concern that future Justice League movies never actually come to fruition.

And there are plenty of other good JL villains: the Crime Syndicate and Anti-Monitor both immediately come to mind.

Crime Syndicate is pretty lame and would necessitate introducing Earth-3, and the Anti-Monitor is a "wipe out all realities" threat, not a "Oh no, the Anti-Monitor is going to destroy the Earth" threat. Really either the CS or Anti-Monitor would require them to introduce in-story some kind of multiverse, which I don't see them doing anytime soon.

I remember seeing that figure. Always thought it looked a little too skinny. And the sculpt on the face was kind of a deal breaker.

I would like to see something akin to those very large super poseable Marvel Legends figures of Spider-Man and Iron Man.

Maybe a classic styled figure in the 1940s era comic costume or a Lynda Carter variant as well? Or imagine one of the Mike Deodato biker version.

This. I can't go into a youtube comments section where WW is the topic were some one does not cause a **** storm bitching about this issue. What's funny is they are often the louder more obnoxious complainers about this than the so called PC Nazis people ruining media entertainment. No thanks. I watch the trailer and move along, anytime I've been tempted to scroll down to the comments I see this. Sometimes it's the top comment.

Oh and people need to stop comparing this to Marvel.

Any way I really like the that this is actually taking place in the World War I now. It sort of makes sense. The scene where the Trevor's solders are on the island and they own the Amazons because of their advanced technological weapons seems like a good angle and a legit reason for Diana to leave her island and see whats up with the changes of the world.

Dr. Poison, huh...never actually heard of him. Paula Von Gunther seems like she would be a more worthy adversary for WW. Hope if there is a sequal taking place in World War II that she is a major villain for WW to come up against.

I agree. People wanted WB to break all their toys during BvS and see the film fail, and the company did so so thoroughly that now I think people just pity them. I want to think that it's not too late for WB to course-correct. This is the make-or-break for me.

Well... I'd agree on that except for one point: why not show what Ares is capable of by showing him instigating the first global conflict?
I wouldn't mind if it was more in the vein of Batman Begins (back and forth chronologically) but I can see this making sense.

Still, though; it seems pretty stupid to waste supporting characters like Steve Trevor in WWI when there's no way he'll survive. Also, way too Captain America.

I'd be OK with flashbacks to that end, but grounding the movie in the (now) distant, kind of alien past with a non-human leading lady is as bad of an idea as it is unnecessary. Every reboot of the Wonder Woman comics have had Zero to do with WWI or WWII (I think at one point, John Byrne sort of retconned the Golden Age WW's WWII adventures to be those of Diana's mom, not Diana, but that's it).

It's just a mix of trying to -- very strangely, and needlessly -- appease on some level the fans of the 70s TV show and yeah, follow the Captain American model.

Still, though; it seems pretty stupid to waste supporting characters like Steve Trevor in WWI when there's no way he'll survive. Also, way too Captain America.

Maybe he gets whisked away to an alternate dimension/Olympus Land or something, then plucked out of it later in the present at the end, or at a critical moment in the Justice League movie or something (the idea being, maybe, they can be fish out of water together? would sort of make sense). It is weird that he would sign on for something that appears to be so tiny. I wonder if the reports from way back about him having his pick of either Green Lantern and Steve Trevor were true.

I dunno. The way the comics guys seem to have setup stuff in the New52 seems awful suspiciously in line with what the DC Cinematic Universe is turning out to be, particularly with Geoff Johns at the relative forefront of both things.

And in the New52 Steve Trevor is a big part of it. He's like a military counterpart to Amanda Waller. I think Dick Grayson was reporting to him during the whole "Grayson" thing with him as a secret agent.

Dead granddad Steve Trevor does seem like a pretty poor creative decision.

BUT.

Exhibit A: The DCEU has already killed off prominent Superman supporting characters Jimmy Olsen and Mercy Graves.

Exhibit B: The DCEU seems to be showing that all of the JL members are withdrawn, isolated, and alone. Superman has Lois and Martha, and he's got the most. Bruce has Alfred. Barry Allen says that he needs "friends." Diana appears to be alone in the world, ESPECIALLY if Steve is indeed dead. And Aquaman only has Mera... It seems that thematically, Wonder Woman not having anybody might fit in better with their narrative than if she has her former lover somehow having followed her through time somehow.

actually in the Grayson series, Dick was reporting to a retconned Helena Bertinelli.
she was turned from Vigilante into one of the high ranking agents of Spyral.
that series was interesting in the beginning but ended with a thud.

You mean Huntress. And she's back to Huntress again, apparently. I miss the pre-New52 Huntress, though.

And maybe Pine turned down Green Lantern because it was too similar to Captain Kirk and he wanted a different type of role? Kirk and Jordan are both pretty similar; cocky overconfident ladies men who reached impressive rank at a young age.

I want Wonder Woman to work, I really do. Totally open to it and I want to give it 100% of a chance. Gal Gadot is mesmerizing and WW is a movie that shouldn't just now be being made in 2017 after 3 Batman reboots and 2 1/2 Superman reboots in my lifetime alone. Crazy.

Now, saying that, if I go and see it and it stinks, I will rip it a new one like anything else.

Wonder Woman is iconic but she's not on the same level of popularity as other female superheroes like say Batgirl, Catwoman and even Black Widow.

We've had female superhero movies before and they've all failed, that's because superhero movies mostly attract males and I females tag along and like the movies more than I would've thought so but even then they seem to enjoy the male superheroes and don't really necessarily want a female one to lead the movie

Wonder Woman's origin, rogues, cast is just not that great or relatable. People in general don't like magic and prefer more science fiction "realistic" superheroes. Sure Marvel made Thor and Dr. Strange work but Thor explained magic as technology while Dr. Strange had the benefit of being released when Marvel Studios was a name associated with quality. The trailers make it seem like it's Captain America and Thor in one movie in terms of plot.

There really is an anti-DC sentiment that is online means they will rip the movie apart just for being DC and not Marvel. It's there even if people deny the Marvel bias but it's similarly to how Nintendo games get rated much higher than other companies. It's a general bias that no one seems to want to call out for whatever reason. Not saying they're bad products but they do get a bump up. I already see people blaming DC that they're messing up the marketing, now DC has made a ton of mistakes (http://miscrave.com/articles/cinematic-universe-dc/)but I really don't think that if WW fails it'll be because of anything WB did.

Granted my track record in predicting how movies will do at the Box Office have been incorrect for a few years now so I don't have the best track record so far but I stand by what I posted above.

I think a Black Widow movie would be more telling about the actual state of affairs. Marvel can sell pretty much anything and have a steady track record of critically appraised movies. Or, I suppose Miss Marvel would be more accurate. Though I'm curious how many other notable Avengers will be wedged into it to make it seem more like an ensemble piece.

DC is 3 misses out the gate before this one comes out. A lot of people may have given up at this point. There's no vested interest. So it's hard to say if it bombs if it had anything to do with a female lead.

Other than hardcore "plot leak" Reddit posts and edgy YouTube bloggers, where exactly is all the supposed negative hype about this film? Most of the comic fans and movie people I've talked to personally at least have a passing interest.

I remember the negativity surrounding BvS shortly before its release being far more palpable.

As for the whole "female heroes don't sell tickets"/"we need more female action stars" debate, I think this character transcends that.

Whether you read the comic books, saw Super Friends or the 2001 Justice League cartoon, or watched the Lynda Carter TV show back in the day, I think WW is an iconic character that people remember and would be open to seeing in a movie. It's not like putting Gina Carano in Haywire and expecting people to latch onto a brand new character they have no familiarity with.

Whether a person wants to see a feminist parable, sly, subversive satire/humor, a sci-fi/fantasy adventure schlock fest, or the Greco-Roman pantheon brought to life, the mythos of Wonder Woman can accomplish all those things simultaneously.

If DC actually adapts her properly instead of trying to fit her into an overly dark, post Nolan Batman mold, there's no way it won't be successful.

Vegita-San
05-24-2017, 05:43 PM
it's just more griping to gripe. every women lead movie these days seems to be 'womens last stand to break into a mans world' type movement. or at least that's how it's come across since the last big attempt.

it's even entering the world of star wars too,sadly with the last five projects being woman lead due to the head being a bit of a femenist herself (TFA, R1, BattleFront 2, this new all girls show, and now again with TLJ). and star wars has gone to the extent of saying 'the male audience doesn't matter as much anymore'.. pretty bold, divisive statement. sigh.

thankfully, i don't get that vibe with this particular project yet. the only negativity i see is from the midnight edge videos showcasing how badly dc is handling both this and justice league. and how people are comparing it, perhaps rightly, to Captain America (which is probably why they made WW set in WW1.)


I like your idea that even though WW was created to be a pro femenist character, she evolved into something a bit more that EVERYONE can enjoy, regardless of what you believe in. at least when handled RIGHT by people like Bruce tim.

I'll be very interested in reviews on this from people i trust not to slant things.

Probably a bit of both.

Most little boys probably won't want to see it, and I don't think it looks like it would be super appealing to most little girls either (notice I'm saying MOST, because while obviously not everyone's like this, stereotypes exist for a reason.)

And as for trying to target people's nostalgia, I'm not sure how well that's working either. Both of my parents grew up with the Wonder Woman tv show and all they had to say about this movie was how "she doesn't even look like Wonder Woman" :lol:

I've read about that too, and that's part of what I'm talking about. I don't see the harm, but has there ever been a film in the past 100 years that only males have been allowed to go to? It's well and good, but right or wrong I could see this sort of thing galvanizing average males on the fence about seeing WW into avoiding it entirely. "Oh it's just like a big feminism/women empowerment movie? Ehh..."

no, that became a movement because the two people in charge of feigbusters are Devout angry upset femenists and want to trash men. Amy Pascal and Paul Feig hate men with a passion and that's the only reason this project got off the ground. that, and pascal couldn't get her male trashing femenine super hero movie off the ground.

True. Right or wrong, this sort of thing serves to alienate a ton of dudes on the fence about seeing it. "Cool, butt-kicking comic book movie with a super charming female lead" can very easily morph into "Feminist Movement: The Movie™" if this sort of thing catches on, with which there's nothing overtly wrong with... it's just, there's a large % of dudes that aren't interested in paying to go and see that. Like, at all.

I see the reactions already from a lot of folks male and female on Facebook. "These dudes angry about the Alamo should grow up and grow a pair!! Blah blah, the women deserve their private screening!!" They're not even necessarily wrong. My only concern is that... what would these people prefer?

Geez, do we have to turn this into an angry feminist/dudes clash rant again?

Don't take away the only social interaction they've got!
You monster!



True. Right or wrong, this sort of thing serves to alienate a ton of dudes on the fence about seeing it. "Cool, butt-kicking comic book movie with a super charming female lead" can very easily morph into "Feminist Movement: The Movie™" if this sort of thing catches on, with which there's nothing overtly wrong with... it's just, there's a large % of dudes that aren't interested in paying to go and see that. Like, at all.

I see the reactions already from a lot of folks male and female on Facebook. "These dudes angry about the Alamo should grow up and grow a pair!! Blah blah, the women deserve their private screening!!" They're not even necessarily wrong. My only concern is that... what would these people prefer? SJW "justice" in all of this... or WW to be a success? Because I'm not totally convinced you can have both in cases like these.

That large percentage of dudes are a minority of people.
I thought we frowned up on catering to minorities of people.

It's sad that so many of these men with fragile egos are incapable of seeing the problem

Are we still talking about the Alamo thing? There is no problem, per se, beyond planting the seeds of discontent among potential male WW audiences (we all want to see WW succeed, don't we?). But f*ck'em, right?

Putting aside "the problem," though... can someone explain the intended point of the "women only" showing? Because it can't be equality. That's not what equality means. Now, if there was even one example of there ever being a "men only" showing of any movie ever, I could totally get that. Totally. Thing is, it even seems to be the opposite of equality... it seems to be spotlighting INequality, suggesting the idea that women need their own private showings of things, unlike men.

So then if it's not equality... then what is it? Is the idea to give little girls or the easily triggered among the fairer sex a safe haven from little boys and young men hooting and hollering during the showing? Dudes in the back hollering "SHOW ME YOUR T***!!!"? Is that it?

It's not really a big deal as an isolated thing but it's a bit of a curiosity in what it's actually trying to achieve (beyond headlines and controversy... though maybe that is the point).

Kinda crazy that a post-Hunger Games Hollywood has to worry about a female-led capesh*t flick not doing well. Especially when movies like Ant-Man, Guardians, and Suicide Squad all got sequels.

Really hope it does well though. I'd like to see it follow the Captain America trajectory. First the flashback origin, directly followed by the big team up ensemble movie, then the modern day solo adventure. Not sure what from her comics have Winter Soldier level potential, but she also has a decent sized Brubaker run lol.

don't forget all the proceeds from the all women showing are going to planned parenthood. ya if they did an all male showing of say Thor SJW's would loose there **** calling it sexist and not fair. Also it looks like Alamo Drafthouse in NYC besides Texas is doing an all women showing too.

There still seems to be no confirmation whether this is alongside other regular showings or if it's an early one.

I liken the "outrage" to kids waiting in line for cookies at snack time, only to discover that some of their classmates got theirs before they even got into the room. These guys are presumably mad because they wanted to see the movie just as much as anybody else.

I guess if the character's creator William Moulton Marton was still alive, he wouldn't be able to get in there...or George Perez, who did some great work on her 1980s post-Crisis reboot that seems to have informed this newest version.

A certain story from the Greg Rucka run (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Woman:_The_Hiketeia) could be a neat little Batman crossover...although I don't know if they'd want to pad it out into a feature length affair.

Yeah, my Alamo is not doing that.

I could see a women-only showing working as like a guideline, if you will. It's obviously a gimmick any ways, but I don't see them making that a hard rule and turning away good money at the booth because someone brought a male friend. Especially if they don't count on it being a sold out showing.

I would love if my WW tickets money went to Planned Parenthood.

It was a one-showing fundraiser that happened to do so well it sold out.
Largely in part because Fragile Dudes went and Streisanded themselves.

So they added another showing.
Good for them.

Who ever is doing the Alamo Draft House social media on FB is on FIRE.

Alamo Drafthouse Austin We've never done showings where you had to be a man to get in, but we *did* show the Entourage movie a few years ago.

I've never heard about this. Did this emerge from the leak or something?

Dead link, man.

re feig and pascal. both are noted femenists and speak at femenist conventions. it's pretty clear where they stand based on their work :)..

I wouldn't have a problem with an all woman screening, but ONLY if it's done for the right reasons. if it truly was some kind of charity thing...like for breast cancer awareness or something like that, no problem.

if it's to exclude dudes to celebrate 'girl power' not so much. it's more important Wonder woman succeed so we can get DC off FOcusing on only Freakin' batman. but turn it into a femenist statement and men AND women will avoid it like the plague .

They'd have to try really hard to make a movie worse than BvS.
If this is true, it could spell doom for the DCU (not that I would mind) and woman-lead superhero films, which would be a tragedy.
