It doesn't help he's a garbage character.
Men in Black and Blade were sick. Give us more of that please.
The audacity of posting this with your avatar.
Spread the word. Girls need this to be a hit. It's so hard being a girl in this society. Every bit of positivity helps.

Have we missed any of the huffpuff about her unshaven armpits. How skinny she is. The Think Thin campaign.
Huffington Post: Wonder Womans Hairless Armpits Have Angered Feminists On Twitter
Oh god, with some people you can't win and it's best to ignore. The criticisms would fit a more experimental arthouse movie that is going for realism and method acting. I don't even see where they photoshopped bleaching to her armpit or whether there was hair before. Armpits can look whiter than other areas cause it's not as exposed to the sun. We're past that stage of critiquing bodies, Gal Gadot was cast, not some burly female like a Stjepan Sejic drawing. I agree with the latter woman in that article, that it's better focusing on the actual character of Wonder Woman in the movie than her body.
This one made me laugh
They better damn well acknowledge him in WW.

Someone wrote an article about WW pissing fire because of a poster.

Besides making us squirm uncomfortably in our seats just looking at itseriously, Diana, you should probably get that checked outthe poster raises a number of questions. Did a single woman look at this poster before it was released? Did anyone look at the poster, for that matter, or is Zack Snyder just throwing these together on Photoshop in his spare time? Why, oh why, did it have to be orange?
I don't know, maybe it's the DAWN of justice?
Like I shit on Snyder any chance I get, but this is some quota Cracked bullshit.
What the hell happened to The AV Club? It used to be so good. Then at the flip of a switch, they seemed to decide to turn it into Cracked.

They should have been offended by Ghostbusters' laughless comedy.

I thought this was one of those situations where they invited people down to the studio, give them a press preview/screening, and then allow them to post their impressions online. It feels like that is constantly happening since I thought both BvS and SS were reviewed well pre release, just for the score to plummet once it was released. Wasn't trying to offend anyone here, didn't know Bobby was a movie reviewer.

I don't see what's official about it. Just seems like another nerd pandering violinist doing covers e.g. Lindsey Stirling.
3 Twitter Accounts. 2 tongue in cheek, 1 trolling. What an outrage.
HuffPo really needs them clicks.

THANK GOD! DC really needed a solid, well received movie. Thankfully we have it here. Hopefully justice league builds on the good faith!
Also reductive posters referring to the early BvS screenings clearly have piss poor comprehension skills. Notice PRESS SCREENING.

This is the critical reception. From the press.

I believe these screenings were just normal press screenings. Not a junket.
And you didn't offend me. My editors are pretty fuzzy on the whole "are you a film critic" thing too.
Yeah, that's not an official anything, I don't think.

I love when people use "bias" as an adjective
Look around this thread pretty Bobby
Is it everything you'd hope it'd be?
Wrong post, the wrong situation

LOL I guess they missed the generous (stuntwoman) butt cheeks on display when she does her leg sweeps.

Hold on now, too small and too skinny are perfectly legitimate criticism having little to do with sexism.
This:
Is how I personally like to see Wonder Woman. With some bulk and muscle. She's supposed to be an Amazon after all.
Gadot's fine in the role, better than I expected, but there's nothing wrong with wanting a Wonder Woman who isn't scrawny.

She's not an Amazon until she cuts off her breasts
You know she's drawn in that picture, right?Hold on now, too small and too skinny are perfectly legitimate criticism having little to do with sexism.

And that's relevant how?
Really? Wow, golly.
That comic book characters are exaggerated and therefore their proportions aren't supposed to look realistic?
Baron von Loathsome
Member
Funny, her proportions in the panels posted don't seem very unrealistic to me. It's almost as if some women are bulkier and more muscular than Gal Gadot.

Good luck finding an actress that makes a manlet out of Henry Cavill.

I don't think her height is the important factor here.
Are you actually saying there are no women with muscle tone.

Holy shit we're at the point where the film is being screened and we're less than a month from release and reviews are coming in and people are still

stilllll
On that "yeah, but she doesn't look like my comics" shit.
Like, she's already been in a movie and we're still getting it.
(then again, the Star Trek threads are still coughing up lensflare lols so I don't know why this is hitting me sideways)

You post this picture like this isn't one of LITERALLY HUNDREDS of depictions of Wonder Woman. This is one wasn't even in comic continuity before Flashpoint.Hold on now, too small and too skinny are perfectly legitimate criticism having little to do with sexism.

There ain't shit scrawny Gal Gadot. Foh.

Again, that's irrelevant.
She's fine, but it would've been nice to see a different body type in a major Hollywood production.
This one made me laugh
Wonder Woman 2.
A resurrected Slipknot steals the Lasso of Truth. Uh, Hades sent him.
Justice League 3 has its villain.
All I'm saying.

Emphasis on "personally". WW is a character that has existed for 75 years. I love the Darwyn Cooke interpretation as well but that one is no more canon than any other version drawn by hundreds of different artists. So no, that is not a legitimate criticism, Gadot looks fine.
Jesus Christ fucking read.

You underestimate the slack jawed nature of some people on the internet.
That's not an official music video. She's working on the music for the movie, but she did this video for her own amusement.
They're disproportionate from her face. If you find an actual human being with those body proportions, she wouldn't look like that. THEY'RE NOT REAL.
