The far superior movie involves cutting out 90% of Maxwell scenes for Barbara and Diana doing a "will they / won't they" budding lesbian romance hunting down the origins of the stone interrupted with the return of steve, ending with a flip where Barbara is the one who gets the love and truth and meaning appeal to renounce and Maxwell gets loving zapped tbh.

Why is it a Tornado with a tandem cockpit? Where'd they get the fuel to fly *back*? Why didn't they need oxygen in the cockpit? Seriously, this movie makes me very nervous about Rogue Squadron. This movie tried to be too goddamned much, and that's one primary thing that made the newer SW movies suck. I would have preferred the ending Maxwell Lord got in the comics - there, he had mind controlling powers and took over Superman. WW manages to get the lasso around him, and asks him what she'd have to do to stop him. He says "kill me," and being the Amazonian warrior she is, she snaps his neck like a twig. But he anticipated that, and the visual of Wonder Woman killing him in cold blood is broadcasted worldwide. I also really didn't appreciate the OOH LOOK HE'S JUST LIKE TRUMP dog-whistling. That collapses when he suddenly cares about his son. But the worst part is how cheesy her flight revelation was. You could just imagine they THOUGHT that was going to be the landmark scene, but it fell flat. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Dec 26, 2020 |

I liked the Lynda Carter cameo during the credits, at least, god drat she's still an amazing-looking woman, and maybe that paves the way for Nubia, Donna Troy, and the other "Wonder Women."

It's pretty wild to think that every single person in the world renounced their magic wish and world peace was finally achieved but then everything goes back to the status quo by the time Batman Vs Superman happens

This was alright, Pascal was fun to watch and the scenes of him rapidly granting wishes while being nervous and sweaty were the most engaging parts of the movie. I also appreciated that at the end Lord is demanding more wishes at the expense of all life on earth while standing at a white house podium.

mcmagic posted:I couldn't help but cringe at them showing Gal Gadot, literally an Israeli soldier, saving some little Arab kids. It reeks of some social media intern at WB/DC letting the suits know that there's a lot of criticism of Gal Gadot for her involvement and propagandizing of the IDF on Twitter, Tumblr, etc and then they give Jenkins a note saying "HAVE WONDER WOMAN SAVE SOME BROWN KIDS". It might've worked better if the whole sequence didn't look so loving cheap. The fan made superhero re-enactments on YT have better quality.

All the stuff where he used the magic artifact to become an evil genie was pretty great, especially the scene where the connects with Barbara and the two of them do a super team up, that ruled. Now imagine if instead of being about Wonder Woman, it was just some random archeologist who wished for something important to her, emotionally. And instead of going to Egypt, they did anything else. And instead of the action scenes, the movie was forty minutes shorter. It'd be a pretty good movie! (Also ditch bringing back the dead, it's gross to have to kill tons of loved ones to save the day)

The one part of the movie with any gravitas was Diana being "selfish." It's the scene you always wish you'd see in a Superman movie, where he's in his adolescence and he's forced to hold back and blend in when he knows he could take over the world with minimal effort. Seeing WW be vulnerable to that is just another aspect of this movie lost in the noise. I also agree that even in 1984, her just having a job at the Smithsonian with no discernible academic credentials and being seemingly ageless for decades just doesn't wash. At least in The Man From Earth they explain it that he just "moves on" every decade or so.

Mr. Apollo posted:It was a F-111, but yeah the more I think about the movie the less it makes sense. It was started up and flown by a guy that’s been dead for almost 70 years and is confused by an escalator. Nah, trust me, it was a Tornado with an F-111-style cockpit, which makes even less loving sense in either eventuality because the F-111 and Tornado were still front-line aircraft very much in use in 1984. I mean, why not a Tomcat for full 80s nostalgia?!?! WHO CARES? TAKE THAT, TOP GUN 2!

I can't find the post but someone mentioned the inconsistency of Diana saying she didn't have a tv and then later having a whole closet full of them and being confused about it not being played as a joke. I was wondering the same. To be  about it, they appeared to be mostly security monitors, which brings up the question "hey why does she have a closet full of security monitors?" But regardless they wouldn't really get commercial broadcasts.

When the plane was first on screen it shows a 2 seat cockpit but the passenger seat is behind the pilot seat. Then all of a sudden the seats are next to each other.  This movie does not make me hopeful for Warner Brothers 2021 films.

I like that the whole opening flashback is to establish "you can't get what you want by taking shortcuts" as a theme, which is a totally reasonable theme for a movie about wishes. But then that is never ever the theme and the theme is something more like "if you get what you want you will only want more" but then NEITHER theme applies to what the character is doing where she wishes to have a dead love back, and then just arbitrarily is faced with "you have to give it up or you lose your power, also you have to give it up or everyone dies directly, I guess the powers thing didn't really matter" like no connection to anything.
