So does WW age slower? Probably a stupid question.

She is daughter of a Greek gods, she's basically immortal. She is not human.

 

[WedgeX]

I'm struggling to think of a superhero who doesn't have a love interest.

Even Red Tornado, a robot, has a love interest!

My point exactly.

Ya'll forget that the Themyscirans typically don't get along very well with men.

Diana would have really been a good vessel to have them shy away from every dang superhero having a love interest. She could easily have been the strong Amazonian woman for a few films and just brushed off any advances from guys.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

Observation. Even Red Tornado, a robot, has a love interest!

Fixed

So completely go against the character for.....some reason? Most superheroes have been around forever. For them to never be in a relationship is unrealistic.

I just don't understand why every superhero movie feels the need to have a love interest for it to succeed. Why can't we have two hours of Wonder Woman kicking ass and taking names and being badass without having to shove a love story in there?

How would she get off the island?

 

[LiQuid!]

Jesus a period piece. They're fucking up my damned Wonder Woman movie.

 

[isny]

She can fly...

 

[Loxley]

I'm so glad we're getting a period piece. I'm curious if the film takes place post or pre-women's suffrage. Looks like it'll be right around WWI based on those set pics, so the latter is more likely. There's a lot they can play around with there. The idea of Wonder Woman coming from Themyscira to a world where women weren't even allowed to vote could make for a very interesting setting.

 

[……forgetit]

No, WHY would she leave the island? Without someone there to drive her the character has no reason to interact with the world of man. Sure the Justice League cartoon found a way, but it only worked because it was a team up. Some one has to drive her to leave.

How about humans getting slaughtered by the thousands on a daily basis on the Western Front?

 

[entremet]

I wanna see Faora vs Wonder Woman

She was such a badass bitch. Definitely my favorite part Man of Steel. Underrated.

 

[……forgetit]

How about humans getting slaughtered by the thousands on a daily basis on the Western Front?

And she'd find out about it......how? Either way it bothers me when people say "well I want the character to be like this because it's what I want," when it goes against the nature of the character.

God observe their subjects. It's part of their job description.

 

[Lord Virgin]

Are they really going to use Fuchs script? I don't know how to feel about that. They can't fuck this up, must have been a really good script. Right....right?

 

[……forgetit]

She's not a "God" per say, she's a demigod, the daughter of Zues and hippolyta. The amazons have a policy of isolationism and don't interact with the outside world. She would not know, and would have no way of knowing about the outside war unless someone told her.

Steve Trevor has been part of the WW mythos since the very beginning why would they change that now?

Cause "fuck the character, I want this my way."

Come on, you can write plausible scenario in three minutes:

-- She's sent on a convert mission to observe but have no contact;
- suffers a crisis of conscience when she witnesses all the senseless slaughter but cannot intervene;
-- Tries to convince the Amazonians to intervene, they refuse;
-- intervenes anyway;
-- gets banished;
-- hijinks;
-- is ultimately redeemed when she overcomes a bigger evil that threatens the Amazonians.

If it really is true that they had 3 other scripts and they chose to go with this then it can't be that bad.

There's a big problem with that. The Amazonians don't care, at all. They'd have no reason to send her in.

Regardless of all that, Steve Trevor has been a part of the WW mythos forever. What is wrong with that?

Yep, the whole point of Themyscira is to be isolated from the dealings of mankind why would they choose to be involved in a war between humans? makes no sense at all for the character and the Amazons.

No one is sending you checks because it's a terrible idea tbh.

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

It's a policy not a code.

Maybe she wanted to visit her father's hood on Mt Olympus, got lost and ended-up in the Dardanelles.

 

[shoreu]

So where is Themyscria supposed to be exactly?

By Greece but only people like batman and lucky ass Steve Trevor can find it w/o help

Diana cares most amazons don't

 

[m_shortpants]

I just hope she has the acting chops to carry an entire movie.

 

[Green Mamba]

People don't want female heroes to have actual love interests because they want to ship them with their superhero of choice.

 

[Sheroking]

Wonder Woman in particular benefits from an early love interest because she's been isolated from men her entire life. It only makes sense that she would discover things like attraction.

 

[Lord Virgin]

Diana just wants to get laid, like all of us.

 

[Tabby]

Diana just wants to get laid

I'd be willing to take one for the team.

No shit man, Steve Trevor be blocking my ship

Diana x Bruce 4life!

 

[anaron]

for what reason would they not they be using Fuch's script? he's been onboard the whole time

wow, a period piece.

great, thanks Agent Carter for nothing.

the Chris pine set pics didn't set that off for you?

and besides, it's apparently split.

She's mine.

Well... we might actually see some traction on that BEFORE we ever see Steve Trevor.

 

[Future Foundation]

Those set pics are pretty cool. I'm still surprised/stoked that this is actually happening - I've been hearing about a Wondy movie for-fucking-ever and it's legitimately happening.

EDIT: Also, a Twitter user (@_DCWorld) managed to pop onto the set and take some pics:

 

[Kar]

She's mine.

 

[Joni]

The World War I setting fits quite nicely considering the 100 year remembrance nowadays.

 

[Peru]

The setting should make for an interesting movie, but I wonder if part of the big audience appeal of superheroes lies in high tech / skyscraper destruction porn and whether that suggests a more modest box office for a period piece.

The rumors is that the film is set mostly in current-day, if nothing else... the climax will be in a similar time period as MoS/BvS

[LegendofDragoonLives]

I think her acting will be at least serviceable in both movies. In fact, I'm confident WW will have the best "Wow" moments in BvS next year. DC is sitting on a goldmine with WW, as girls will go crazy over her, if done right.

I'm more concerned with DC/WB being able to make Gadot look like she can beat some ass:


Better hope she wears her costume a lot because those skinny arms are laughable for a master warrior like WW.

She's so fucking beautiful though. <3 Not sure about her acting chops, but my God she incredibly stunning!

 

[a916]

She sneaks out like Jasmine in Aladdin because she gets bored with her life... and we're done, I'll take half the cheques please.

She was such a badass bitch. Definitely my favorite part Man of Steel. Underrated.

There's no way she's underrated by GAF. Every MOS page calls her out as awesome and one of the bright spots in MOS. She's a woman who swore and kicked ass with very minimal dialogue, motivation, character growth. She's about as shallow as it comes but people gravitated to her because woman who swears and kicks ass.

It didn't know it would be shooting already. Seems early.

They have to film this and Justice League for 2017. Maybe a little early, but not by much.

Sometimes it is about the presence over the character. The Boba Fett rationale.
