Couldn’t agree more, but this character is a minefield! I like the casting, but more anxious about what storyline they will go with. Also keeping my expectations in check untill I see the costume. Hoping for a version based on the Ellis-run, but that would probably not go well with a new audience. Fingers crossed!

Please be good, please be good, please be good...

Variety.com published an article stating that production was already complete. If you haven’t already, I recommend you give it a read to get context on why they didn’t have Ayo Edebiri voice-over Missy from the beginning of the season.

Yeah. As the article states, they couldve just swapped actresses and called it a day, but actually making something of it was a very interesting trip.

I liked the bit in World War Z (the book) where it’s explained that an Army vs Zombie Horde scenario went as bad as it did because soldiers aren’t trained to shoot at the head, but center of mass. And are certainly not trained to deal with what happens when your target doesn’t stop despite having been blown in half by…

I’m with you, and I think that’s why all of these movies always rely on a collapse of the military. Which is a trope I’m sick of. I really appreciated that Shawn of the Dead ends with the army basically solving everything.

Let’s call WWII (yes, I’m referring to it as that) for what it is, which is crap. Bad script, bad acting, bad CGI, bad everything. They had forever to put it together and decades upon decades of source material to draw from and they went with a wishing stone and a “Quantum Leap” Steve Trevor for Diana to have sex…

I know, right? Big has been the poster boy for unfortunate implications for decades now. I also keep seeing people try and argue that we never actually see Diana and Steve have sex, so it’s us being dirty perverts is the problem by assuming that. Like, we understand the language of films. When two people wake up in…

Yeah sorry, but it’s not like Jumanji, where everything roles back to the way it was before Alan and Sarah started playing the game.   There are still consequences, even though the film tries to gloss over it at the end.  

She did have assists in the writing department. The screenplay was co-written by her, Dave Callaham, & Geoff Johns (which is why they basically went with his version of Barbara Minerva instead of the superior George Perez version). When you have multiple writers it’s difficult to tell who championed bad ideas & who…

Eh, I think those are stretches, both in terms of surrealism, and superheroes.

If that was actually the case, wouldn’t Diana never remember that Steve came back in the first place, as well as why she’s fighting in the first place?

Or, since it’s their movie and they control the timeline, just have him be someone with access and they easily get a private jet out of the US and wherever they needed to go.

Especially since the big damn emergency was the nukes in the air which was already the case when Russia responded to !Reagan’s wish for more.

i thought the sequel was shockingly boring and casually offensive almost from start to finish and so did a lot of other people so it seems like an odd time to make sure everybody knows the better-liked first movie was without your input and the complete mess of a sequel has your personal touch, but okay!

Just to be clear, it isn’t DC executives in charge of these movies, it’s Warner Bros. Pictures. Different divisions. DC has some say, but WB are the ones in charge.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but the head of WB actually did try to stop that movie by lowballing the budget (https://www.comicbookmovie.com/batman/joker/joker-warner-bros-boss-toby-emmerich-went-to-great-lengths-to-stop-the-film-from-being-made-a180698#gs.p6fwrt)

If the first Wonder Woman was Jenkins on a short leash, and WW84 was her getting carte blanche, then I think the studio was right to give her a short leash. The first film was so much better than the sequel.

“ the studio was more interested in dissecting the success of Christopher Nolan’s Batman films in an attempt to recreate it with the Themysciran princess.”
