It would be funny for Diana to get pissed at how terrible mankind is based on WWI and take a twenty year sabbatical, just to come back in time for WWII.

I don't know why anybody would care about what 4chan thinks about anything. Really happy to see the positive buzz continue. I was worried it would be like BvS where the early comments were all positive, and then the reviews came out and were overwhelmingly negative.

Unless I'm misreading, this is pretty loving waffley. Bill Clinton levels. Also, holy poo poo, this writer person actually took the time to understand MoS and BVS instead of complaining like a retarded idiot. I'm impressed. http://screenrant.com/wonder-woman-movie-dceu-changes/ quote:To explain our argument here, let’s start at the start with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, the first chance those devoted to DC’s big blue Boy Scout had to declare WB, DC, and Snyder had “gotten Superman wrong.” It’s easy to see the case being made, since the fact Superman’s been around for the better part of a century establishes him as an unflappable symbol of timeless, faultless heroism. In that sense alone, the ‘idea’ of Superman is an ‘ideal,’ existing outside of and above the pettiness or darkness of our world. So when Zack Snyder, David S. Goyer, and Christopher Nolan decided to examine how our modern world would react to Superman, that timeless veneer was shattered.

I was worried it would be like BvS where the early comments were all positive, and then the reviews came out and were overwhelmingly negative. From what I remember, unlike WW's wholly positive social media reaction, early buzz for BvS that was positive came mostly from fans and not critics or movie blogs.

Jimbot posted:Did Man of Steel ruin your life or something? It's a case of MoS being the first basically leftist superhero blockbuster, and the first with a real ethical dimension to it. The fact that it has moral values is absolutely obscene to people who prefer more trivial pop. Dropping the bobdage angle is a bit silly, but trivializing war sounds absolutely horrid.

Fartbox posted:Is there a villain in the movie? Or is the villain innocent german soldiers There is/are villains. German soldiers are unfortunately the fodder but outside of one scene in the battlefield, the Germans aren't really portrayed as "bad people". In the end the movie does try to point out that why people fight isn't as simple as good and evil and do humanize them a little in the end.

You're saying they don't comment on her gender but that whole looking at each other in shock thing is played off as "a woman??? On the battlefield????" For like the entire movie lmao

Ghosthotel posted:Just curious on your read here. There was a moment where Steve's buds were surprised she was going with them but that's when she was wearing desk clothes and Steve didn't tell them who she was. She helps one of Steve's buddies and they're like oh you looks like you can handle yourself no problems then. When they're on the battlefield, there's women there as refugees so no one's batting an eye when WW is there. They're shocked that someone is running off into no man's land, but quickly get over it and just follow her lead. So it doesn't seem like they're surprised a woman is doing this, more like the fact that there is someone crazy to run off into gun fire followed by superhuman feats. Doe she bang captain kirk? Do she peg him It's implied they bang. Just a kiss, fade to black, next day. It's after a sweet scene and tastefully done. Guess she could have pegged him The Biggest Jerk fucked around with this message at 13:31 on May 30, 2017 |

Yeah I feel like we watched two different movies. The scene you mentioned with her helping steves friend is capped off with a "strong woman?? Me horny!!" joke, and on the way to no mans land she's given looks exactly because she's not a refugee and she's yelling at Steve to head into No Mans Land. Just kind of weird to say the movie doesn't comment on her gender when it in fact goes through huge lengths to do so?

Now that more people have seen it, I want someone to confirm or deny the validity of my complaint. The CGI when Wonder Woman jumps or moves vertically very fast looks super awkward; like a cartoon edited into live footage. It really stuck out to me, but I saw it by myself and don't have anyone to tell me if I am being weird or not.

Depends on the scene imo. I kind of liked how quick it was on the raid in the village when she gets knocked into that one building from the explosion only to leap off the wall, but then later on when she leaps towards the tower it looks like how you're describing it. All the fight scenes kind of felt like that to me though. A mix of some good stuff and really questionable stuff.

The way I saw it was the people saw WW, a woman who was dressed strangely and with strange mannerisms doing strange things in London and then on the front. It's not that movie doesn't comment on her gender, it's just that it doesn't ruminate on it or let it define her actions.

HannibalBarca posted:how much of an affront to history is it My WWI is rusty, but I think it is almost entirely historically accurate. He is the commander of the German forces, is granted magic mustard gas by a super-powered god, hears voices, and was thrown out a window by a woman in a short skirt. It doesn't go super in-depth, but it is the basic stuff from your high-school history textbook.

Speaking of Ludendorff So Doctor Poison gives him that drug that will "return him to his former strength." which I get is supposed to throw you off the trail on Ares' real identity....except that line makes no god drat sense once the twist happens. Are we to believe this dude could crush guns with his hand in his youth or did she develop a super soldier serum? Should've just been roiding up the entire army if that was case. A lot of the powers are vague as hell in this movie. Like wonder woman's bracelet explosion is a thing she can do becaaaaauuussseee.....?
