Yeah, that's probably why they haven't announced a new Dracula project yet…

On one hand… yeah, who didn't see this coming?

Well, if Wonder Woman has anything to teach brain-dead movie executives, it's that you should just keep crapping out awful shared-universe fodder until ONE of them hits, because it's bound to happen SOONER or later, right?

As a DC fan, I can't even tell you how relieved I am to see the company's non-Batman cinematic losing streak finally, FINALLY come to an end. It's a bit like seeing the Cubs win the World Series: so surreal, so unlikely, that you almost can't even believe it's happening. (The trick, of course, will be if they can…

Unless the show makes a HUGE quality upswing in the next season, you're not missing much.

That got a HUGE laugh out of me when I saw it. Because in the original ending, Thewlis never becomes a buffed-up God of War. Throughout the entire fight, he was just David Thewlis in a suit, using telekinetic powers and lightning to attack Diana. And near the end, when he's rearing up to destroy Diana, we see an…

I'm glad you liked it! Was wondering if you'd had the chance to catch it yet— I didn't see you comment on the review, and I knew you were looking forward to it.

Well, there are two ways that I choose to interpret the soldiers immediately standing down after Ares' defeat.

If you choose to read it as a continuation of the mythological allegory— the idea that Diana fighting Ares himself was more symbolic than literal— then the soldiers standing down is just symbolic of love…

Oh, come on, guys…

Well, sheerly from a dramatic, screenwriting standpoint, it made sense for Wonder Woman's love of mankind to originate with a romantic relationship; it created a strong personal connection to motivate her understanding and acceptance of humanity, rather than leaving it at the broader, philosophical idea (which…

That moment when Captain America juuuuust manages to budge Thor's hammer the tiniest bit, and Thor suddenly gets this momentary flash of abject panic on his face… that's honestly my favorite moment in the entire MCU thus far.

Thank you! I was seriously sleep-deprived when I wrote it, so I'm just happy that it's intelligible.

Actually, the lack of moral clarity in World War I is explored pretty well in the movie. The fact that the whole thing was basically a big, horrible, pointless clusterf%$# is kind of thematically important.

Hey! I've been reading DC comics since I was six, and I haven't threatened the life of even ONE Internet movie critic!

It really is on that level, too! Aside from the totally unnecessary framing device— which squarely puts this in the same world as Batman v. Superman— this is a perfect, stand-alone solo introduction to Wonder Woman.

Okay! Now that the reviews are out, I can finally talk about some of my favorite things in this movie!

Lol! Cool.

Dude. I used spoiler tags for a reason.

Hey, if the movie had had any simpler of a climax— "Diana punches the bad guy until he falls down!"— it wouldn't have been worthy of Wonder Woman.

Okay, I 100% disagree with Dowd's assessment that the climax is nothing but empty spectacle. The ending is where the movie pushes into a legitimately mythological realm, as Diana is having an existential battle with the LITERAL embodiment of warfare itself— a concept that Diana does not have a full understanding of…
