Not much you can really do about that if that's the case. You gotta release a movie at some point. It's the summer so you're going to meet some resistance with big movies releasing.

Okay. So is that sufficient evidence for being a global icon? Two songs? So if I can find two songs inspired by Adam Sandler he's a global icon? Hell, I'll write two songs myself it that makes Rob Schneider an icon.
I think SS also had some decent legs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. So marketing is most likely the big reason, but I wouldn't be shocked if WOM helped it along as well.

it will do good in the us and decent WW.
Honestly outside of Batman, Superman and Spiderman. Who has any real relevance WW as far as comic characters go?
I do think She's at the top of the next tier though.
People know who WW is of course, but I don't think people have an arc or story that people can tie to her like we do with Spiderman, Batman or Superman.
This movie is a chance to pretty much reintroduce her to a wider audience.

i don't think it matters one bit tbh.

The box office thread should make some WorldWide/Wonder Wonder (WW) pun when the time comes.

Come on, that's the worst example you could have picked considering what happened with that.
Argh, why do I feel the need to enter this debate every time? Lol at myself.

There are more that the two songs but that two were the only that i can find. There was a lot of parodies of her in movies,tv and variety show too and other articles that reference and compare her. I don't think most make it into the digital age.
I give up. I have no way of convincing you unless i managed to find and dig out the old news / magazine articles etc that reference Wonder Woman in comparison to real life person. Digital age come too slow for many
FYI woman who performed well in career, marriage or life are often called 女超人 (Super Woman) or 神力女超人/ 神奇女俠 (Wonder Woman).
Oh i forget

And more that i cant remember offhand but these are more recent stuff and not what i am referring to. That she was always well known since the 80s

I mean she's probably the most famous female superhero until the modern superhero craze and even then you could arguably put her above black widow. I mean that says a lot but it sadly is what it is.
I mean despite the fact of what happened that she was picked at all does say something. I mean who else was it going to be if you stick with a female superhero. Captain marvel (literal who? The only thing I knew about marvel growing up was that she got her powers stolen by rogue). Super girl?

Fair enough. I was thinking about heroes but you're most definitely right.

Now the thread is about Yager's BvS undies. Boxer brief or trunks?
Oh don't worry it's easy: a lot of people liked the movie and didn't care about the hyperbolic critics.
There's nothing baffling about it out there, in the real world.

How violent is this movie? My little girl loves WW but I have a feeling this probably isn't for kids lol.
Yup.
And honestly, I don't even know why it matters that much. You'd think in our current world where characters people super didn't give a fuck about like Iron Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy have seen huge success, and freaking Superman and Spider-Man have had films perform below expectations, we'd be past using a character's current status as a predicator of a movie's success.
Edit: I see you brought the charts out too. My man.

Fwiw, Drew McWeeny said it was more kid-friendly than most of the other DCEU movies so far. Just warned that some of the war-time imagery, gas masks, etc might be scary.
From everything Patty has said and others, it seems like it will be a lot more family/kid-friendly than the other 3 movies.
But also takes place during World War I
Speaking of, let's have a heart-warming pic

Yeah the WWI bit is what is giving me pause. They should have targeted this for little girls instead of 30 something male comic book fans. Disney accidentally made a girl comic book movie and it was a big hit... Frozen. Doesn't have to be that PG, but actual war violence is probably going to be too much.

Eh. I'm not sure why a female-led superhero movie ought to be any less violent than the male-led ones.
I'd hate to be right here, but I think everyone is over predicting the international haul potential on this one. I believe it's domestic might outperform overseas due to the other releases coming out around it.
OW: $95M
DOM: $250M
INT: $250-300M
WW: $505-550M
I think it's going to do quite well.

People are being extremely fucking dense about her name recognition being top tier, even if people don't actually tend to like her all that much compared to characters that have been on the big screen longer. No one's debating popularity. Her name recognition is up there. She is THE female superhero. Period.
Because people are stupid. And marketing. Which works really well, especially on stupid people, so Wonder Woman's being non-existent before a few weeks ago was really agitating to witness, especially since people acted like it wasn't a problem.

As for popularity. I think it's more that they can recognize her. But they don't really know much about her character. Hell my mom is seeing this movie because she watched the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman show as a kid.
Ehh as much as I love Harley I'm happy the Wonder Woman has her movie first. Maybe, they will be willing to make a movie solely on the Trinity.
Why should this be marketed to little girls? Besides this doesn't look to be anymore violent than all the other comic book movies.
