Ohh man, Nolan's TDK trilogy still has the best humour. It was never forced like the DC/Marvel/Fox/Sony flicks, very natural and was actually funny.
COME BACK NOLAN!

She looks pretty much no different there than from the trailer.
The people who think she's looks fine, great, have fun watching the movie.
Personally though, I think she looks super skinny for what she's supposed to portray. It's like if roles like Thor, Superman, Batman or Captain America were filled by guys in ottermode.
I'm going by the face, the whole body part is innocuous on film. She felt powerful enough in BvS. Extremely so, like, more impressive than Superman.
"But her muscles, where are her muscles, I can't see them, shit actress, baad Wonder Woman"
I think these things work better in motion.
Touché.
Frankly, I'm not worried about her action. You can make anyone look like a beast with CGI. I'm worried about her presence.
DC "I'm fun!"

I mean, I'm going off the Wonder Woman I read growing up. And even now.
Gadot is fine.
But in other things she is no chill, like going ham on a 13 year old boy

It's not a shitpost if you just disagree with it
Also there's no point in being built if you have super strength
If you think ending a trailer with humor is a DC exclusive thing, you probably never watched any other trailers
Thing is, at some point we do have to acknowledge the vast, and I mean vast, physiological differences between men and women. Short of taking testosterone, women cannot get anywhere near that kind of shape. It's so much harder for women to gain muscle, let alone keep it. Women also have a higher base body fat, so there's that too. Essentially, if you're looking for a woman with a large muscular frame, who is photogenic, and can also act - you better break out your genie lamp.
In the end, Wonder Woman is an empowering figure for women, so I think it's fine she has a realistic or common body type; it makes her more believable and relatable. Her strength is derived from her magic.
What did he mean by this?

The only example body shamers are able to bring up is Jessica Biel
Can someone show me all the movie roles Biel is headlining with her atypical muscular comic bookian bodytype? How about Gina Carano, the mma fighter turned actress who held her own in an incredibly successful film? Wheres all her followup offers been the past year?
Black Widow or Gamora -fighters without having superpowers -dont have big muscles but you dont see shitposts like that in their threads.
And releasing this very month is this shit:
What the fuck, the chosen one who again "trained his entire life" is someone that looks like I could beat in a fight.He didnt even try.
But those actors dont face nearly as stringent criticism for their lack of looking the part.
But Gal Gadot should tank her career just for your visual stupor and shitty subjective opinion?

Gal Gadot looks fine for the role, IMO.
In general, comic characters have a look in line with male power fantasies, so the men are mostly idealized for their strength, while the women are idealized for their beauty.
In a practical sense most of the men are taking steroids or HGH to "prep" for their roles. That's not something that should be encouraged, but it is commonplace. I'm glad Gal didn't roid out for this role to satisfy an audience that believes that flipping armored cars is realistic, but only if the actress has biceps that are 2 inches larger.
Wonder Woman in the comics varies between being slim, fit, and somewhat muscular. Based on her story there would be quite a range of different looks that would be valid for the role.

In don't think they made the right choice with that theme. It may have worked in BvS, but the fact that is is jarring when it plays after the trailer with a different tone suggests that it may be a poor choice to translate the identity of the character, and thus of this particular film, into music. Of course, it could be a one tone single moment in the movie.
They probably wont use it on the movie. More for the trailers so people connect that its part of the DCEU.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
She clanged her bracelets together and created a shockwave that blew shit up. She's literally magic. Not even pseudoscience. The woman literally has her origins in MAGIC.Complaining about her muscles is some "who pumps the tires on the Batmobile" overthinking
Are you guys kidding? Every movie trailer does this, not just comic book movies or DC
That's a good point. Who does pump his tires?

Yeah. I think it works for BvS era kick ass Wonder Woman...but for the slightly more fish out of water one it'd be cool to get hints and fragments of the melody, but not full on electric cello. Leave that to the final boss.
They could also just rearrange the theme to fit into the movie.
But yeah, its simply used here for "This is part of the DCU" and thats about it.
Dark Knight has an amount of oneliners and quips, but somehow barely anyone remembers
I also dislike it there, too.
So is every other studio doing it to show that are funny now?

Not feeling it. I though WW was the best character in BvS, but these trailers look so plastic and fake. I got the same feeling from the first Captain America.
Bleh. I hope the movie doesn't blow like BvS and SS.

Got to have those luls! Superhero films can't be too dark and gritty!
I think all that funny haha stuff is forced in these types of movies. It is okay if things are serious. I mean, we're supposed to believe they are struggling with serious events, right?
Agreed. I was quite surprised because I thought she would be one of the worst parts of the film beforehand.
Hope this solo film turns out good because she has my interest.
Yeah? It seems like a lot of films now, especially dramatic ones, feel the need to say "hey there's a joke at the end! That means this won't be totally depressing and self-serious, please watch!" At this point it's been a common trailer motif for at least the better part of a decade.

I like these trailers well enough, the only problem and it's a big one, is that I'm not sold on Gal Gadot's ability to carry a film. We could have another... bland superhero on our hands here.
How she looks though isn't a problem, not in the slightest. That's something movie magic can, has (and will) sell convincingly enough when shit needs to go down.

Nope. She looks fine like a tight, muscular fighting woman. Perfect for WW.

Yep I laughed like a madman when a punch in the ribs is all it takes to fix Bruce up in TDKR.

All the movies did. Mainly from Bruce, Alfred, and Fox
"So that's what that feels like."
You're alone, Bruce. Why are you still using your Batman voice?

Ehhhhhh still not feeling this , the dialogue in the voiceovers was awful
Oh, you're spine was fractured? DO SIT-UPS!!
CM3 actually aka Captain Marvel JR
It's kinda of a tradition
There was a plotline where the gods wanted Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman to create the next generation of gods

Wait, did this thread seriously revert back to 2013 with that bodybuilding bullshit again?

You're seeing what you want to and ignoring what's convenient to do so. This guy has been shitted on relentlessly for his physique ever since this picture was released
Harvey Dent: The famous Bruce Wayne. Rachel's told me everything about you.
Bruce Wayne: I certainly hope not.
Harvey Dent: Alfred, right?
Alfred Pennyworth: That's right, sir.
Harvey Dent: Yeah, Rachel talks about you all the time. You've known her, her whole life!
Alfred Pennyworth: Oh, not yet, sir.
Harvey Dent: Heh heh heh. Any psychotic ex-boyfriends I should be aware of?
Alfred Pennyworth: [smiles] Oh, you have no idea.
Bruce Wayne: What about getting back into the plane?
Lucius Fox: I'd recommend a good travel agent.
Bruce Wayne: Without it landing.
Lucius Fox: [smiles] Now that's more like it, Mr. Wayne.
Alfred Pennyworth: Will you be wanting the Batpod, sir?
Bruce Wayne: In the middle of the day, Alfred? Not very subtle.
Alfred Pennyworth: The Lamborghini, then.
[with deadpan sarcasm]
Alfred Pennyworth: Much more subtle.
Could copypaste half of the dialogue and all almost all the conservations with Lucius and Alfred.
He always stays in character while wearing the costume
They aren't on the nose jokes and it's down the characters themselves which is why they work so well compared to quips you see in other films.
What's the point of all those push ups if you can't even lift a bloody log.
Bit worse for wear I'm afraid
I hope they weren't the fire brigade
You didn't get the memo.
Let her go, poor choice of words!
Does it come in black.
This is where I'm at until release.

Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands—and your plan is to blackmail this person?
Good luck.
Good luck.
One could argue Bruce is the character.
This was the only one that really worked for me. But Morgan Freeman can do no wrong.
Except in Lucy. He really phoned that shit in.
I remember my whole theater laughing at this.
Thats the only one i really remember. BvS has the same kind of jokes also.
