He does NOT look like most white dudes in a suit. He is fit, well groomed, and much taller. Also, he has all his hair.

That’s such a myth.

Is it not true though, that we as women, are far less visual than most of our male counterparts (yes, yes... #notallmen) and can in fact be turned on by intellect and general taking-care-of-business-ness, which in turn alters our visual perspective of said hotness?

I’m happy to explain it to you: it’s because the world is garbage. I hope that clears everything up.

I mean, he’s not wrong. I wasn’t able to read the entire review OR this dickish response, only because my eyes fell out and then I vommed from my eye sockets. True story.

What a fucknut. No David, it’s not out of bounds to discuss the attractiveness of an actor in a review (unless the actor in question is 11 years old like Watson was, you sick fuck). But it is out of line to carry on about it for the entire fucking review, all the while making extra creepy statements like how Israeli…

As soon as you pull the “I have [insert trait here] friends so I can talk about people who are [insert trait here]” card you lose.

ah! how right you are!

Her grandmother drove her mom.

Yeah, that’s exactly what it was. Etta even provided the commentary making that explicitly clear.

(there’s a jokey play off of Clark Kent’s glasses-as-disguise here).

Tears have finally started clearing up after reading that article and scrolling down the comments, so, yes to you, so much THIS. Kudos for her mom, ‘cause I seriously can’t relate to having a parent do anything like that. So beautiful.

As a Black woman who’s also waiting for BP, but is also hyped as hell over WW...I’m confused at you bringing Hung Games into this? Maybe because it features white women warrior types? And even then, the Hunger Games is a new property, not an established one like WW that’s been in the cultural conciouness for decades.

Apropos of nothing apart from her ongoing excellence into her 90s (American Gods), can’t forget the Queen Hippolyta that kicked off the TV show, Cloris Leachman.

It’s also about this being a landmark for a woman-fronted SUPERHERO movie, specifically.

When I was a boy, Superman (Christopher Reeve) was everything to me. I am so fucking happy that girls today have their Wonder Woman.

I cried like a baby.

Big ups to your mom for driving you all those miles to get the comic books. That’s a heroic endeavor in its own right.

I went to see it with my 11 year-old stepdaughter last night. At the end, she turned to me and asked if we could buy it as soon as it came out on Amazon Instant Video, and that Wonder Woman was now her favorite superhero, “Sorry Black Widow”. So it meant a lot to her, at least, and I’m glad DC gave that to her.
