Wonder Woman Movie

It's an either/or for me. Because the costume feels like a cultural outfit (rather than a custom made combat suit like Batman) you can get away with certain touches like that. Ultimately Starfire's sexuality is an inherent part of the character so while the string monokini goes a bit far, having next to no exposed skin or cleavage takes something away from the character. What a character wears says a lot about who they are. It's the same reason Catwoman often has her suit partially unzipped. Even with Wonder Woman, the past 20 years has been placing more and more emphasis on her using a sword and shield, in combination with her costume looking more like armor it's now extremely hard to say she looks much at all like a Vegas Showgirl like past costumes have.

Making distinctions between cultural, appropriated and personal designs is a major factor in assessing various costuming designs, as well as how the costume is treated in the story itself. The 1990 Captain America movie just had the character wander around in costume and drop a line about it being fireproof after the fact. In contrast The First Avenger gives us a Beta Outfit used as a template for the badass, practical hero costume. I wasn't very fond of the chainmail pattern and other details on the DCEU Superman suit, but then I realized it was intended to look like an alien (Kryptonian) suit and the movie, along with the DVD extras, gave the suit and emblems its own history. I personally would have preferred a stronger yellow belt to break up the blue but I appreciate the angle they went for.

So the sword is a god killer? Huh, you know an interesting twist would be that the Olympians themselves don't know about the sword.

The way she said it, I think that's the sword's name, the God Killer, with capital letters. Given how it was able to harm Doomsday it can probably kill Greek Gods too.

There is an interesting aesthetic with Themyscira, lots of open space and interesting architecture but the Amazon's don't appear to be all that numerous. Something many people have noted is that the shield she uses in Wonder Woman is different than the one she has in BVS. Maybe that change is explained in the movie.

I really hope Diana discards the secret identity for future movies.

Uh oh...

I hope this isn't the case but this is, if I'm not mistaken, the second insider claiming this will be a disaster.

Ya know, I kinda wanna wait and see when the film comes out to decide that, first.

Yeah but WB lost the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this.

Also, Wonder Woman is the premier superheroine. If her movie fails the big wigs won't think "Shit, guess it was a bad movie. Do better." They're gonna think "Shit I guess people don't want female heroes"

Not to mention, people don't want to wait until Captain Marvel to get a good superhero movie with a female lead.

I'm just saying, this report is from an anonymous source, it's probably not as reliable as we'd like to think.

Wonder Woman 2017 Rumors - Beyond The Trailer's breakdown of why rumors of the DCEU movie being bad are WRONG!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIPI8ydsKIA

Given the number of misogynists on the internet, anon rumors carry zero information, because if its the best movie ever made and that was obvious to everyone involved, there'd still be people lying and going "It sucks, trust me I'm an insider". So the existence of such rumors isn't evidence either way - they're evidence that a wonder woman movie is being made.

The problem is Suicide Squad. That had really bad buzz and rumors about the production being a train wreck behind the scenes, which everyone involved with the movie denied. Then the movie came out and was a mess just like rumored, and The Hollywood Reporter published an expose confirming that yes, the production was a mess behind-the-scenes.

So even if the rumors about Wonder Woman and Justice League are bullshit (which I hope they are), they're automatically gonna be given validity because people remember "Hey remember when we heard the same thing about SS and it turned out to be true?"

Some spoilers from an actor that was in Wonder Woman.

The actor that says the spoiler is Ewen Bremner he was asked about it in an interview with Digital Spy.

Wonder Woman puts together a team of soldiers to help her fight.

It also has some background info on Bremner's character in that interview.

Edit* That spoiler shouldn't really be a spoiler; we saw that photo in Batman v Superman.

All DC movies are terrible. Wonder Woman is a DC movie. Ergo, Wonder Woman will be terrible. Anyone who says otherwise is obviously just part of the conspiracy.

A Howling Commandos deconstruction? Is this just going to be the anti-war counterpart to Captain America: The First Avenger ?

It's really a matter of semantics, she's obviously fighting alongside other soldiers but how they are organized and her exact relationship with them is unknown.

Wonder Woman beat ups thugs in a restaurant with the help of a particular Englishman.

In case there was any skepticism about the villain.

So in the long run, Ares wins because World War 2 will still happen.

Huzzah! Loki isn't the only comic movie supervillain who wins!

Judging by the synopsis, Ares apparently won't have to do anything at all.

Honestly, the earlier synopsis made it sound like there would be no central antagonist, just the futile war and those it affected, leading to Diana's eventual dillusionment with man's world and her isolation.

And of course to point out how silly and optimistic the idea of a hero fighting in a war against a clear-cut villain is.

I really hope that hasn't changed.
