The only way he'd destroy his movie chances is by Black Panther flopping.
You just kinda proved my point. It's not like anyone (except China) is hyped for that.
kaptainkristian released a relevant video as well
Wonder Woman - A Symbol of Progress
Also brings up how WW as a character has next to nothing in terms of media compared to the other two big DC heroes despite being as known and influential a symbol

King Arthur comes out on the 12th. That's why you're seeing stuff for it now.
Going to repost what I said in another thread.
Wonder Woman marketing. If there isn't a push once May (at the latest the middle of May) officially gets here then I'll start worrying. I can see the argument for a marketing blitz in the month before the film comes out as a better use of the marketing money. Especially since that is when Gal Gadot and Chris Pine and Jenkins will start doing the talk shows for the film and interviews will be released. Some of that has started already like the ones in W Magazine and EW. Having all that taking place with the tickets being on sale and the advertising makes more sense. There is digital marketing already taking place as well and toys and product placement (food, makeup, nascar, etc) has already started.
I just don't think this film is getting an insane marketing campaign like Avengers or Justice League or Star Wars. Those films got and will get advertising budgets close to their production budgets. That's not happening and likely shouldn't happen. Hell those films shouldn't have gotten that.
I think what some are taking as no marketing is actually normal film marketing. Stuff like Star Wars, Avengers, Justice League and some of the marketing that goes on for months before a film drops is outside of the norm. Look at Dr. Strange, Ant Man, Fantastic Beast, Lego Batman, and hell even Guardians marketing. I didn't really start seeing GoTG2 marketing until several days ago. Before that it was the trailers and articles movie sites like ScreenRant and forum threads.
Commercials months in advance isn't the norm. They've kept the Wonder Woman film in the public with the trailers and as well with the Justice League marketing which hits two birds with one stone since she's in both. Now if one is confused about the date then the commercials two weeks before the film coms out will remind people. They likely will be more effect that close instead of two months ago where people will have forgotten.

Exceptional good.
Makes me worried about your social life.
Should it? None of the trailers were amazing, Gal Gadot doesn't inspire confidence and DC has yet to make a good film in their universe.
This will probably be the best movie in the DCU to date but that's not saying much.
The Carol Syndrome
any chance they cancel that like they cancelled inhumans?
I go to the movies regularly and I haven't seen a WW trailer before anything.
There is a DCU?
I have always thought of marketing for movies as silly. It's not going to put butts in seats like reviews and word-of-mouth. I was only half interested in Suicide Squad until it was lambasted critically. The same applies here.
I think Geoff reads GAF.
I really hope the film is good.
.I thought it was a November release for some reason

This is so fucked up that one needs her to be a total victim of abuse to care about her.
The idea that her character is ruined because Joker cares about her is gross.
Harley's entire character is fucked but I'll take two psychos in love over Harley Quinn is so cool because she loves the Joker so much she'll take all his abuse even though he doesn't care about her at all and would love to just kill her one one day... so compelling.
I'd honestly say the idea that there is at least one person Joke is actually capable of caring about in some fashion is infinitely more compelling than woman in abusive/loveless relationship can't leave even as she's being beaten and nearly killed time and time again.
If WW crashes they'll probably just cancel Cyborg by stupidly arguing that women and POC are the same thing

These marketing campaigns are set out months and months (if not a full year) in advance so it's not as if they are doing this week to week which means there's either a larger plan at play (waiting for GOTG 2 to open as theorised) or something else has thrown a spanner in the works.
I haven't heard anything but I have a feeling that Gadot's pregnancy may have completely blown apart WB's marketing schedule/plan. It's very possible that she now won't be available to do a worldwide marketing tour post pregnancy and now the elaborate marketing plan that was in place has to be reconfigured.
But I will tell you what isn't happening, this isn't Warners dumping the film. It's too high profile to quietly just dump in a busy summer slot hoping that it gets lost in the shuffle. If, worst case scenario, it is awful the studio will just push the marketing like mad and try and get a big enough opening weekend to carry if for the rest of the summer a'la Suicide Squad.

Please keep your logic out of here Busty.
From what I've seen...
This might be accurate...
All I can say.
I think people want Cyborg canned because they don't like the push he's getting... and there's some Martian Manhunter envy here...

A more apt comparison the article writer should make would be to look at the Man of Steel marketing in April 2013, since this is the first Summer DC release since then.
It ruins Joker's character to have him show empathy for anyone.
Haven't seen the video yet but your post reminded me of this.
The WW box office threads are going to be fucking glorious. Either it'll be a bunch of dudes eating crow, or a bunch of people trying to provide 'box office analysis.' Either way, I'm pumped.
What's feminist about Harley breaking her abusive boyfriend out of jail?
While I agree, I was speaking more generally about how DC appears to push Harley more than Wondy, as evidenced by the lack of marketing for this movie compared to SS. Harley is usually portrayed in comics these days as the badass girl who takes no shit and does whatever she wants.
WB is sitting on a golden egg with Wondy yet doesn't appear willing to capitalize on it.
I don't follow film marketing, but is there a set standard for when marketing blitz starts? Is it the month of the film or for a few weeks? What's the rollout, is it trailers or TV spots first, then billboards and posters?

I know videogame marketing, it can be a month-long marketing campaign. One week before, they'll have posters out on billboards or here in London it's focused on public transport (train stations and the sides of buses).
For me I thought it was a may release.Back in February, I thought it was supposed to release in March or something.
The one that got 3 trailers instead of 1 probably comes out earlier..
I doubt there will be a BO thread close to the glorious BvS thread, but a few movies this year could come close.

There's only been one super early tracking thing done based on social media and that data is probably not reliable. Tickets go on sale tomorrow I think? We'll get early tracking next week or the week after.Is there any tracking data for opening weekend yet?
If not, maybe WB has some early internal numbers?
The only pop culture Wonder Woman reference I can really recall is when Roz dressed up as her in Frasier

Like that time they implied that she willfully got gangbanged by an entire comic-con full of Joker cosplayers? lmao.
It ruins Joker's character to have him show empathy for anyone.
I mean he went so far to push Harley out a window and nearly kill her because she succeeded in capturing the Batman where he'd failed, he couldn't take her butting in.
And Harley is a fucked up character, just like every Batman villain ever, these are actual damaged characters.
Her striving for Joker's acceptance when we all know it's never going to happen is what made her compelling.
We want her to escape from him and get over him, that's what makes her so endearing!
It doesn't matter anyway the way they've written her in Suicide Squad was disastrous and her design even worse.
