I heard people talk a out it I saw the advertisements. I will admit I am not a fan of the 52 version of Wonder Woman with the sword and Shield and her being a Goddess. I grew up watching Lynda Carter's version of her. I read those comics so I was hesitant to see this one.
This movie bridge the two version and made me a fan. I love they way she -Wonder Woman had a lesson to learn. She is not the know it all arrogant the impression a couple of the 52 comics gave me.
gal is amazing... I can see the balance of strength and compassion Lynda Carter and the older comics. She is the perfect find for this role.
I still say Dafne Keen is the find of the century but Gal is a very close second. It has been a long time where an action movie made me want to by another ticket for the very next showing.
WOW

(681 posts)the perpetuation of the "thieving Indian" stereotype, the wink and nod toward lesbianism and then the resolution being that in essence heterosexual love is what ends up saving the world.
All of the said, yes, I'm glad to have kick-ass women superheroes. And I'm glad they weren't all white on the island.

(816 posts)Yes, there was something there BUT Steve sacrificed himself for love of humanity. Steve made Diana realized that yes, evil is in us but also the heart of good. The ability to help Not only his friends but humanity. Yes, she mourned Steve but in that moment she saw that not only was Ares right but Steve
As for the Native American he gave Diana a hard truth
but then why did the writers need to include the love scene between Steve and Diana (unnecessarily hetero-normative) and why have Chief steal the car?

(816 posts)As for the Native American Stealing a car...
Steve Treavor stole a Motorcycle
in Every type of action adventure movies have a hero "Browsers " a car or Bike.
What about the Indian playing the driver?
We have real Battles to Fight in this country about race. This is movie that made a Native American a hero.
