As WW, next to Supes after training, prepping, camera trickery, etc. Because right there she looks inadequate.

Not entirely accurate. Women can be exempted from service due to a number of circumstances that include religion, pregnancy, or being 17 or older when they arrive in Israel to live. Observant Jewish women are allowed to skip military service altogether.

How many 6' and over actresses do you know of in Hollywood?

She lacks the presence of a Wonder Woman. . .not to mention the physique.


So does pretty much every other Hollywood actress. What's your point?

Pretty much. I hate to tell all of you nerds, but comic book characters are not drawn with normal proportions. A strong, tall in-shape woman rarely has a huge rack.

So do you not care about the actual acting in this movie? You really want them to choose some athlete just cause they're tall

Also, the few times I've seen Carano, her acting has left a lot to be desired.

Since when? She may be as strong as Superman, but she hasn't always been as imposing from a physique aspect.

Carano is a HORRIBLE actress. There's no way she could have carried a WW movie on her own. It would have been an EPIC fail, even though she does have the look for the part.

They want someone with the physique of China that has Oscar potential and a pretty face. That's not too much to ask for, is it?

Did you actually look at that list? The only one on there I would even consider is Adrianne Palicki, but that's not possible at this point. Most of those are actresses over 40.

She was originally cast for a network reboot of Wonder Woman a few years back. The pilot was so horrible, however, the network decided not to take it to series. Some scenes have surfaced online. They were insanely bad.

You never know how a casting will work out. I thought Adrianne Palicki would have made a great Wonder Woman but NBC didn't pick up the show. On Agents of Shield she certainly looks the part of an Amazon.

Gadot, however, is about the same size as Palicki and might very well be able to pull the role off.

Do you have a solution? Or just criticism?
