Why am I biased? I love DC more than Marvel as a comic universe, it's just clear Marvel has its shite together. And why bring Wonder Woman back to the woman's suffrage movement and not just WWII like it has been for basically every rendition of the character? It's only one reason, and that's girl power, like every portion of this production so far. It seems to me that they've put almost no thought into Wonder Woman as a character, but just the fact that she's a woman, and they need to make it entirely about her being a woman. It's ridiculous.

The audacity of them to make Wonder Woman a strong female

od, I want to vomit. All they're trying to do with this movie is "woman power"! Female lead, female director, Wonder Woman leading females to vote. It's just clear that the people in charge of this are looking at Wonder Woman as a woman first and a character second. I have no faith in DC.
I know, how dare they actually respect the origins of the character? For someone with a lot of knowledge you really are laughable. The character is quite a psychological study, moreso than most. They can and should incorporate her feminist beginnings, and as long as they make her character kickass with fantastic action scenes, I for one will be happy. And no, I don't think they should sacrifice quality in the sole pursuit of a female director, but are you saying these goals are impossible?

There's a difference in making her a strong female, and then making the entire point of her character is that she is a female. This seems to be much the later than the former. Wonder Woman being a woman shouldn't be her defining trait.

I hate to break it to you buddy, but Wonder Woman's character is FOREMOST about female empowerment. You should actually do a little reading about her creation before you make these statements.

quote:Yes, Marvel has done a better job. But how can you say this wants to make you vomit? Wonder Women is all about girl power and has always been. That's canon, bro. If that is indeed their angle, does that mean it will be a bad movie or that DC already fricked this up? The only DC movie that has come out in this universe is Man of Steel. How can you judge anything else with DC?

I like this.
I enjoyed Captain America: The First Avenger being set in the 40s and it gave a great classic and nostalgia feel. Hoping for the same here.

I'm just saying I see no reason why Wonder Woman should have anything to do with women's suffrage movement. Sure she comes into a military environment that is male run, but do we need to take it any further than that? Do we need to hit the audience over the head repeatably in the "girl power!" message? Aside from maybe Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, the fact that most of our Superheroes are male is a very secondary trait for them.

You have absolutely no clue about that which you are speaking. Xena is what you're looking for, not Wonder Woman. Dr. William Moulton Marston- Psychologist, creator of the lie detector(Lasso of Truth anyone?) had quite an interesting and subversive view of women and sexuality. You should read more. He was quite the weird fellow.

I can't believe I have to say this to you, but in our society the heroes and strongmen are usually male. The fact that Marston advocated a woman who carried the more usually feminine aspects of love and compassion coupled with physical strength to rival any man (including Superman) was groundbreaking and quite subversive in the environment of the day.

Screw all this noise. Will Wonder Women be naked in the movie?

Clear cut example of full on bias, IMO. I don't buy that you like DC characters better. This post was edited on 10/30/14 at 10:48 pm

This.
I hope they follow this plot. I think it would be brilliant.
Wonder Woman is very much about girl power. Both of my daughters are over the moon that she is getting her own movie.
Now knowing hollywood hacks the way we all do...they will frick this up somehow.

true story. There have been many writings on the topic.
WW as a true girl power icon came much later.
