Hits & Misses: Wonder Woman




DISCLAIMER: Now this movie could've gone either way character wise with Wonder Woman. They could've made her another hard ass uber-bitch with an "I don't need no man" attitude stereotype. Thankfully they didn't take that route. All I'm saying is that you can have a story featuring well developed female characters. It just takes this little thing called EFFORT and not just throwing in one dimensional characters while using diversity as an excuse.

Hit: Trying to out cute Laurel (X-23) with Diana as a child, huh? Well played movie, ballsy move but well played.

Hit: They must've got some real budget going for them when it comes to Themyscira. Sure there were a few scenes with CGI but everything else makes you believe that Themyscira may actually exist in real life.

Miss: So this invisible barrier makes Themyscira unseen from the world but it doesn't keep anything from getting in. That's a bit of a design flaw.

Hit: Ancient Amazons vs 20th Century Soldiers on a beach.

Miss: So it appears that Diana is the only one who can repel bullets while the rest of the Amazons just get shot.

Miss: The movie doesn't show a title card that it's WWI going on. You pretty much have to pay attention to what's going on.

Hit: Diana's naivete of the outside, something about that gives her more character.

LOL: Steve thought she was asking about his penis.

Miss: Dude you're not in Star Trek, put some pants on please.

Real Talk: There are some comparisons between this movie and Captain America The First Avenger. Although those comparisons are rather small, noticeably but small.

Miss: There's a war going on yet nobody's stopping the one woman carrying a sword in a clothing store.

Hit: Diana's and Steve's interactions to each other.

Hit/LOL: It's hilarious to see Steve explaining certain topics to Diana.

Miss: Discount Red Skull

Hit: I've looked up this character and apparently there was an actual German General Ludendorff.

Miss: Discount Arnim Zola

Miss: Discount Howling Commandos

Miss: Diana comes to the conclusion that Ludendorff is Ares, even though Ludendorff hasn't demonstrated that he is. Not to mention she hasn't met him yet. So how could she know that?

Hit: Diana casually walks across No Man's Land like she doesn't give a f**k.

Hit: Diana vs German Soldiers

LOL: Diana calls dancing swaying.

Hit: Diana and Steve "Swaying"

Hit: Diana vs Ludendorff

Miss: Surprise, Ludendorff is not Ares!

Miss: Ares does fight Diana in his true form, it's just beforehand he keeps throwing objects at her like he's Discount Magneto.

Real Talk: Ares: "Only a god can kill a god" Kratos will gladly dispute on that statement.

Hit/Miss: Diana finishes Ares with a Mortal Kombat move.

Miss: Diana doesn't fly in the movie, yeah I'm sure that's depending which comic era Wonder Woman they're going with. But still....
