The lasso wasn't locked away never to be used though, they brought it out to use on Steve. It's a magical tool that can be demonstrated to work reliably, and has relatively mundane uses. Does make me wonder where Wondy got her sword in BvS. Did she find another ancient magical sword? Is it a normal sword that she empowered with her magic? Did she commission or forge herself a brand new blade with modern techniques and materials for the hell of it? I think the last one might be the most fun, but I'm crazy. They'll probably explain it in the sequel.

DC and Snyder and that they're the "Sword and Aegis of Athena". I'm assuming that Diana's position at The Louvre gives her access to all sorts of weapons from antiquity. Again it's loving great that our visual introduction to Diana is during a scene where Lex Luthor is mansplaining what to her is actual history.

The beginning of the trailer reminded me a bit of the bank robbery scene in The Dark Knight. Having Diana save a class from an all girls school was a nice touch and seeing her dodge incoming fire in real time (at about 2:47) was cool. Showing up to work everyday in haute couture is impressive. Seeing the Amazons in action again yessssssssssss. "I miss the days where the greatest threat was from wind up exploding penguins" a nice nod to Batman Returns. "I've never done battle. I just push people and run away" & "Oh wow they just vanish. That's rude." lol The shot of Barry breaking the glass with his finger tip was super cool. "I don't recognize this world anymore." "You don't have to recognize it. You just have to save it" = "It's not about deserve, it's about what you believe." a bit of a role reversal of Bruce and Alfred from BvS where Bruce didn't give a gently caress anymore and Alfred was trying to make him see that he did matter. Anyone have any guesses as to who shows up at the end? Alfred didn't seem surprised. Mr. Apollo fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Jul 23, 2017 |

We've seen Superman in some of the 'on the set' previews that has those scenes in the trailers right? They're cutting REALLY close around to keep him out of this trailer?

Yeah, there are a lot of civilians in that same room facing Diana, so deflecting a bullet probably wouldn't be a good idea since it could ricochet and hit a kid or something. And she's not immune to bullets. [edit] You can even see the civilians in the gif lol teagone fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Jul 23, 2017 |

There's a middle ground between Superman bulletproof and regular person. Guessing bullets may not kill her but still hurt like the dickens.

She just switches between "Wonder Fu" and "Wonder Goku" based on whichever thing would look cooler or be more considered more dramatically appropriate. So she has to dodge bullets, but she can also tank death rays from the Antichrist. This is also noticeable with the other DC characters, when you get stuff like Batman having to wear Frank Miller Armor to fight Superman, but reacting to being shot point blank in the back of the head ten minutes later like someone snapped a wet towel at him. I guess it's no sillier than Tony Stark becoming immune to physics when he has the Iron Man suit on, or the Hulk jobbing whenever he goes rogue, or Captain America curling a helicopter. Everyone focuses their chi as appropriate to the situation. Every DC movie tends to end with characters hadoukening each other on a moonscape though, no matter what was going on previously. The point being, I am pretty sure you could empty a mag into Wonder Woman's face while she sat there and nothing would happen one way or another--unless the narrative called for it, like she had turned evil or a trusted character warned her that she was being a dumbass and would lose. Or maybe she doesn't want to instantly disintegrate everyone in the room with god particles. Name Change fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Jul 23, 2017 |

BrianWilly posted:2D is more than fine. Just finished watching it today. Great movie. I only waited so long cause I didn't have time when it came out, and then my friends already watched it, and then I figured I'd just wait for the video release but I had a lot of time today. So while the movie is still fresh on my mind, at the end when Diana was fighting Ares, she absorbs the lightning bolts into her bracers twice and right before she blasts Ares to death she says "goodbye brother." Was that suppose to mean anything literal? Like, was it implying that she was channeling Zeus right there and Zeus was somehow talking through her? It would make 100% sense since they said Zeus and Ares were brothers earlier in the movie. (I think the average person would know that Zeus and Ares were Greek gods, but not necessarily that they were brothers.) So WW takes place during WW1. What does she do from then until now? I ask this as someone who isn't familiar with Wonder Woman's story at all other than I know she's part of the Justice League and has an invisible jet or something, from those old cartoons. I didn't watch Batman vs. Superman cause I have an irrational thing against Superman. I think he's a really dumb character. Anyway I understand WW was in BvS. Does BvS happen before or after the "present day" parts of WW?

Wonder Woman's backstory is pretty inconsistent in the comics, and there's no exact precedent for the movie's situation, so what she does until BvS is totally up in the air. Also, Ares isn't Zeus's brother, he's a son of Zeus and Hera. Wonder Woman, the last daughter of Zeus, is his sister. (well, half-sister, which may or may not matter with gods. Also, who knows what they did with it in the movie) Diana, despite being named after the Roman version of Artemis, actually is basically a less provincial Athena; goddess of wisdom, truth and defensive war.

Ha, that reminds me. In the new Justice League trailer Diana is show working on the restoration of an ancient statue: It could be the statue of a goddess, in which case it's probably one of her relatives.

I find now as an old person with kids, *I* get choked up watching my almost five-year-old be all into superheroes. It reminds me f myself at that age - I absolutely loved Wonder Woman and Star Wars in particular, and so seeing these characters have an impact on him gets me every time. Wonder Woman especially - he begged us for a Wonder Woman action figure to go along with all his other DC/Marvel characters.

I ask this as someone who isn't familiar with Wonder Woman's story at all other than I know she's part of the Justice League and has an invisible jet or something, from those old cartoons. When she receives this picture the battle between Batman, Superman, and Doomsday has just started. Diana joins just as Bruce is about to be vaporized, saves him, gives her line of "I've killed things from other worlds before" and helps win the battle. At the end she tells Bruce that a century ago she walked away from mankind, from a century of horrors and that men have made a world where standing together is impossible. Obviously Diana Prince didn't walk away from mankind as she's employed and going about living her life and not hiding from anyone. It was WW that walked away from mankind. In BvS the impression were given is that Diana wants the photograph as its proof of her immortality and who she is. WW puts her search for the photograph in a new light. There's also the question of if she ever saw that photograph before that point as the village where it was taken was destroyed in the gas attack and all the residents were killed. It was seeing the photograph, potentially for the first time, along with Bruce's statement of "this IS you" that motivated her back into action as WW. It reminded her of who she once was and what she stood for. In BvS she is a very stoic and serious character. A complete 180 from her optimistic and hopeful character in WW. It's kind of sad once you realize that her happy and hopeful character disappeared over the years and it all started with Steve's death.
