CelticPredator posted:Wonder Woman is a step forward because it's a big budget film normally directed by men, directed by a woman, about a compassionate woman hero who steps in to do what she believes is right. Well you clarified your point from the chat thread: anyone who doesn't think children liking Wonder Woman the movie/the character is a "step forward" is detached from humanity, alien in their sentiments and behaviour. This is obviously a colossal dumb thing you've said. You're defining humanity as the ability to agree that a big blockbuster movie is progressive because there's a tweet of a child meeting Gal Gadot. The truly tragicmic part is that I'm not even claiming that Wonder Woman isn't a "step forward," but that the movie is a short and hesitant step applauded and feted by back-patting critics and audiences. No one can really deny that the movie/character is mildly progressive, but it is just mildly. Like SMG argues, it's actually men who seem to celebrate Wonder Woman most as the first true superhero movie for women, when they really seem to be projecting their own approval. This talk about how kids like Wonder Woman is basically the same in principle: adults are using children to justify their own approval.
