Yes. Frank Miller. (There's a reason for the WHORES WHORES WHORES comic.)

You're being purposefully obtuse if you think that one of the producers with a dominant hand over the rest of the current DC film universe has nothing to do with the look of the latest films.

Because there has never, ever been a movie set during a war, disaster, with people at risk, heroes saving victims, that has had any lightness or joy in it. Not once in the history of filmmaking.

Actually, a Wonder Woman (sic) kind of needs to have all those things to even BE Wonder Woman, because they were all in the original comics. WB bought the name and is making something that may or may not be any more Wonder Woman than BvS was either Batman or Superman, but you cannot deny that they are changing the

It seems to be a sentient spambot that has spent time on Reddit.

Oh no, the spambots are becoming sentient!

Since when is a one-night stand between obsessed stalker and rival anything BUT a sexual relationship?

He also consistently blames the publishers whenever he gets any pushback from fans: "They should've stopped me! It isn't my fault!"

It's only acceptable for Batman to go off the rails with fury and grief for a male protegee (see also: BvS) but if he's going to be distraught over a woman it has to be because she's his fucktoy - or his mother. Anything else is simply unnatural.

Also Azzarello who turned the Amazons into murdering harpies and made Diana all about the patriarchal inheritance…

WB, who apparently just hired Max Landis to write them a Pepe LePew cartoon, because they are both terrible and self-destructive (meaning that both ways) and will be equally baffled when it too is a dumpster fire that loses money and is lucky to break 25% on RT.

(Upding for username/avatar combo, not our collective disappointment at a well-reviewed female-fronted horror movie turning out to be a toxic mess of ablist bias reinforcement.)

Oh, I thought of two other films that work as Heroic Sacrifices and are clear suicides, both for The Good of the Realm - Terminator 2 and Alien 3 (not that I am approving of the overall arc of that one, just that it is a very clear example of deliberate suicide to preserve the lives of others, including strangers and

Here's the main channel for the idea of King-Sacrifice to run from The Golden Bough into pop culture by way of Richard Adams, for most of us:

Well, saving your kingdom/nation/planet certainly counts as saving others! - it's everybody, not just the few individuals you love, that you're sacrificing yourself for, which makes it even nobler and more heroic, I think.

Even this one could have been salvaged, if the inner demon had been telling her to just let them all die for their own good in some dangerous situation (a natural disaster or car accident or something else believable and realistic) and she throws "Diana" off and saves the others at the cost of her own life. Then it

Likewise.

Same here - the reviews were strongly tempting me to go.

One way — speaking as someone who's battled depression and suicidal ideation since childhood myself — to have it work as a Heroic Sacrifice would be to flip it around, have them all be trapped in some dangerous but believable scenario, which COULD be salvaged but it will be very dangerous for the person doing the

That was one of the best things about How To Train Your Dragon.
