"It’s only wind and air... and how to ride it. How to catch it."
- While she does lose, Diana as a child does amazingly in the tournament at the beginning. It was shown to be a brutal test of skill and she not only outlasted several adults, but might have actually won had she not fallen from her horse.
- Also in real life Lilly Aspell is an accomplished equestrian and did most of her own stunts.
- Diana kicking ass left and right at The Mall, and using her tiara like a Batarang to destroy security cameras.
- Diana using her Lasso of Truth in a fight that appears to take place at The White House.
- Diana spinning the Lasso of Truth at high speed in circular motion to deflect bullets at the White House.
- Diana jumping high in the air above a military convoy during a road chase while one of the convoy's trucks crashes.
- The reveal of Diana's Kingdom Come-inspired golden armor in all its glory.
- Diana literally riding lightning bolts, using the Lasso to hook on the bolts and swing on them.
- In the trailer, the reveal of Cheetah, and Diana grabbing her in mid-air as both face off and jump at each other.
- Maxwell Lord manages to one-up his comic book incarnation's brainwashing abilities by pandering to humanity's need for more. And while most villains might renege on their promises or exploit a loop hole, Maxwell fulfills every wish made to him.
- Comic book fans would know that Wonder Woman wasn't able to beat Maxwell Lord without killing him, an option she took to the disdain of her fellow heroes. Here, Wonder Woman goes up against Maxwell Lord when he's figured out how to use his wish-granting abilities to become a demi-god. Not through combat, but by broadcasting her message of love, compassion, and truth across the world, managing to persuade all of Maxwell's pawns into forfeiting their wishes for the greater good. Once Maxwell is cut off from his consumers, Diana reaches out to his own vulnerable side, convincing him that he's succumbing to the same toxic masculinity that made him afraid of his father.
- Similarly, in a stirring moment of Rousseau Was Right, every single person on Earth who asked the Dreamstone to grant their desires makes the choice to renounce their wishes. Diana's impassioned speech reminds them that while they've all faced unbearable pain, they can bear it together, because they are not alone. It's truly a moment where everyone in the world gets to be a hero by choosing selflessness and kindness over their own desires.
- Diana tells Steve the story of her golden armor. It belonged to an Amazon named Asteria, who like Diana fought alone against an army of mortal men, and is presumed to have sacrificed her life to enable all the other Amazons to escape.
- The Mid-credits Stinger shows a still-living Asteria saving a child from a falling post with only one hand. Bonus awesome for her being portrayed by Lynda Carter.
- Steve quickly figuring out how to fly a then-modern fighter jet despite only having experience with WWI-era aircraft.
- The Invisible Jet. To elaborate, Diana and Steve must steal a jet to fly to Cairo to catch up with Lord, but must evade capture from authorities as they try to clear the runway. Diana then figures out how Zeus was able to hide Themyscira from the outside world: by casting an invisible field over it. She reveals to Steve that since she's the last daughter of Zeus, then it should be possible for her to also use this ability. She then focuses on the jet they commandeered and makes it invisible just as they take off and disappear from sight. What follows is a glorious moment of Steve flying for the first time in decades and taking Diana through the skies and through a fireworks display.
- Diana using the Lasso of Truth to ride a missile that allows her to swing in and save two children playing in the road from being struck by Max's vans.
- Although it's a sad moment, Barbara revealing her evil powers in the White House is a sight to see:
- On the verge of getting to Maxwell Lord, Wonder Woman and Steve find themselves pelted across the hall by an unseen person, and suddenly see it's Barbara - she's not a normal person anymore.
- Then, when White House security threaten her, Barbara takes them apart, breaking their guns, throwing them across the room, and smacking them to the ground. WW has her hands full just trying to mitigate the damage.
- Then, Barbara faces off with Diana, matches her hit for hit, and then outmatches her, No-Selling her bracelets of power and even beating her in a grapple and throwing her across the room.
- After regaining her powers from renouncing her wish, Diana begins to learn how to fly. The scene is set to “Adagio in D Minor” and captures this sweeping, epic feeling that comes with this newfound ability.
- It's minor, but when Steve is fighting Lord, he is offered the chance to become real. He doesn't even have to think about it before rejecting the offer.
- When Diana finally dons Asteria's armor and goes off to fight Lord. She completely wipes the floor with every single guard at the base.
- Diana and Barbara, now in full Cheetah mode, having their final fight.
- Barbara dominates the first round, near tearing the wings off of Asteria's suit, too brutally fast and agile for Wonder Woman to do anything but be on defense, sporting a Slasher Smile the whole time.
- But then Wonder Woman loses the wings to get her agility back, and body slams Cheetah into the ground one-handed!
- The rest of the fight is more even, but Barbara is so strong and aggressive, that eventually Diana has to resort to letting a loose wire fall into the water they were fighting in in order to defeat her. Even then, she still doesn't kill her. And the look on Barbara's face in her final shot of the movie shows she might be on the way to redemption.
- This marks the second time Steve has died and just like with his first death, it's only because he chose to. We're talking about a man who regularly puts himself in harm's way. Despite not being a superhero, Steve might be the most resilient being in the entire DC Extended Universe.
- Alaistair ends up saving the day, just by being a man's son. He outruns an angry mob, all the while terrified and screaming for his dad. Alastair even shouts that he wishes for his dad to be here, since he can see his dad's broadcast and feel his presence. Maxwell sees it when Wonder Woman shows him through the lasso. He goes My God, What Have I Done? and renounces his wish in order to save his son's life. All it took was The Power of Love to stop a nuclear apocalypse.
