Momentum, maybe?

She's Wonder Women! Plus, she looks like she's just doing some ballerina **** by then. Her arms were to the side and just happened to go above her head. I'm not buying it.

Even Wendy Williams is talking about it

, and she's got some good points.

A part of me feels like WB made this casting decision to ride the lightning off the Fast and Furious series after Paul Walker' s death.

I don't feel, at all, the way she does about the race of those particular characters. (And The Honeymooners movie was fantastic.) And I'm not picky enough to expect them to only choose from actresses over 6'.

But it's funny that the video is titled after Stacy Keibler, because I always figured they could choose a WWE Diva to play Wonder Woman. They're actresses, and they're strong...

**Jester** · 12-08-2013, 08:02 AM

As a co-worker pointed out to me when I said she was an "Amazon"...she's from Themyscira...so she's NOT an Amazon...

I have to disagree with you there. I'm black, and even I thought remake of The Honeymooners was horrible.

So they gave her an audition, signed her to a contract and announced it all in 2 days?

To capitalize on the positive buzz of somebody else dying? What? She's not even in the movies anymore.

Yeah, I know, Stupid idiotic drivel, But I have to question the poor timing of this announcement.

I figured if I liked it, and my parents liked it, it must've been great.

Just did a little run on Wikipedia, because I was confused. Wonder Woman is an "Amazon" from Greek mythology. Themiscyra is a mythological city of "Amazons." I don't know much about it, but it's not the Amazon rainforest of South America, which is sometimes called "Amazonia." Wendy Williams has the two confused.

According to some news there's going to be no Batman villains in this film, but there will be two Superman villains.

One will obviously be Lex Luthor....the other will probably be Mettallo or Parasite I guess. This movie is too cramped to bring in Brainiac.

That news speaks for itself.

*ToTheNines* · 12-08-2013, 01:27 PM

When you think about it, Wonder Woman's powers are derived from magic so she doesn't have to be swoll.

You could say the same for Superman.

Not really, WW gets her powers from the gods. Supes is an alien who has an advantageous biological reaction to our yellow sunlight, so it makes sense that his muscles are huge.

She is still trained in the arts of war and combat since childhood, tends to make you bulk up.

*chrisdude* · 12-09-2013, 05:08 AM

I feel like you'd only bulk up if your pushed yourself to your limits. A few times a week.

Glad I'm not the only on whose first reaction was "Damn, she's skinny!"

Regardless of reasoning/plausibility, Wonder Woman is usually pretty jacked, or at least has an athlete's physique (some artists go way further than others), so I do feel it's a main attribute for the character. It's oft-stated that she's physically imposing, almost a counter-balance to her femininity. So it's a bit of a puzzler; not awful, but she looks a bit waifish, to me.

It'll probably be fine, though. For starters, they made it a point for Cavill to get jacked for MoS. Secondly, you'd be shocked how many actresses do a cycle of steroids when they have to shoot an action movie, even ones that don't involve physicality as much as simply "the look". It's easily just as many as the men in Hollywood, and it's kind of an open secret. As others have said, time is an issue, and that's precisely why a lot of them do it: With a controlled, supervised and "safe" routine of steroid consumption, along with the Hollywood standard "2 hours per day" weightlifting sessions with a trainer, even (read: especially) women can gain 10-15 lbs of solid muscle inside just 6 weeks, while torching crazy amounts of fat, making them look even more jacked than they really are. They only have to do it for a month or two, and without the "help" there's no guarantee they could develop that quickly, so most actors and actresses don't care. Studios, especially, don't care; your star has to look like an action figure in about a month, and stay that way for weeks despite only eating and exercising in between a 14-hour daily shooting schedule, so of course when millions of dollars rests on getting "The Look", they're not really worried about the "How".

So yeah, they'll bulk her up, but I doubt it'll go so far as to make her unrecognizable, it kind of doesn't work that way. But she'll definitely need to gain at least 10, more like 15 lbs to be a convincing Wonder Woman and not a cosplayer. Even if she's only in a cameo.

I kind of agree with what someone else said, her current body type kind of looks more like the current Supergirl, and even Supergirl, to me, looks too skinny in her modern incarnation, even though she's a teenager. I'm not afraid of chicks with some sculpted tone, in fact I rather appreciate it. Side effect of working in a gym, I guess.
