Another movie I'm not seeing due to the casting

What's your beef?

Gal Godot is a goddess. Is she a bad actress?

I actually only learned of her shortly before out hottest woman alive contest concluded. Dunno if she was in the mix, but she looks to me she should have won the whole enchilada.

Looks awesome!

She doesn't look like Wonder Woman with her sticky frame, and average ability as as an actress.

Looks pretty effing good.

:facepalm:


Here we go again.

Transphobic

The bigger problem

Just plain dumb and clunky. Slavery isn't doing what someone else [say, a man, UGH!!] tells you to. That's employment. Slavery is not getting paid and not being able to leave.

Hopefully it's just tongue-in-cheek barbarian meets civilization humor and does not reflect the tone of the movie.

Travesty she wasn't. Someone would have complained she's "too tall".

Looks like they're doing a remake of Captain America The First Avenger.

This movie looks fantastic. Loved the trailer.

I'm excited about this...Gal has the wonder woman look esp the face. She has some tone but isn't buff or close...and I'm fine with it. Hoping this movie is good. Gina Carano could be a badass WW if she could remotely act imo

I think this movie will surprise

Ahh give it a chance

This is Brandon Routh type casting just like the DCU Flash

stop complaining.. piece of art.. entertainment and looks to be of quality.

That would be cool. I liked that movie. The WWI setting is interesting.

Can't wait for the Wonder Woman reboot that stars a man in the lead role.

She's an Amazon from an island of women. And people are already bitching about female empowerment? If any movie is entitled to it, it's this one, not "Ghostbusters" or some other shit.

I wasn't happy with Gadot, although she's hot. Definitely a little thin for my tastes for the role. A better choice would've been Jaimie Alexander ("Thor", "Blindspot").

Jamie Alexander is damn thin also. Not saying I wouldn't rail her with reckless abandon, I just think she is thin as well.

And as far as the female empowerment goes, I don't care if the movie is good.

Hell I watch Orange is the New Black and I liked a League of Their Own FFS.

Who's bitching about female empowerment?

Marvel is way ahead of you...

Not as thin as Gadot and we already know she looks kickass in armor ("Thor") AND she can kick ass ("Blindspot"). Just saying she would've been a better choice. And she can act better as well.

Kate Beckinsale

Jessica Chobot would have looked the part. I nominate her only because my out of control crush on her demands that I do...

Oh, come on. People for 100 years have complained about "slaving away" at work. It's a joke.

Lighten up, Francis.

Wow. She looks a lot like Lynda Carter.

I for one, can't wait for Wonder Woman.

For the look Nadia Bjorlin should have been cast...

Looks better than I expected. Was not happy about the Gadot casting, but she looked pretty bad-ass in the trailer. Pine looks like a dumb-ass as Trevor though. That may just be my anti-Trek reboot rage though.

FTR - I wasn't complaining about empowerment, just the clunky conflation of employment and slavery.

Does she have a higher profile than Nerdist Youtube?

I see her clips on occasion and am constantly befuddled that she isn't starring in something on Network or Premium cable.

I'm not mad, it's just a clunky bit.

Up there with Storm's 'what happens to a toad who gets struck by lightning' line.

Heck, it might have even been palatable, and totally in keeping with your line of thinking if, instead of saying 'sounds like slavery to me' WW had said 'don't work too hard, you're not his slave.' Still not a great line, but better.

I thought it was just a cute little bit clearly targetted at a demo that doesn't generally go out for comic book movies.

What bothered me about the production was that Warner's sought a female director, exclusively, for this film. I mean, why? This isn't a biography of Gloria Steinem or the like, it's freaking Wonder Woman, a comic book character.

That said, it looks really good, as far as trailers go.

Probably the same reason marvel wants a female director for captain marvel.

I think Nerdist takes up most of her time, but she does a podcast called Bizarre States (never heard it). She's a relatively new mom as well, so maybe that is why she isn't out there more? She certainly has the look and personality to be or do more, imnsho.

It's silly. I have absolutely zero problems with female directors but to purposely hire a female director because the film's feature star is female just seems odd to me.

Where's the mandate to hire a female to direct Aquaman or Planet Hulk? Or are female directors just relegated to female lead characters?

Overall Alexandra Daddario

My interpretation is that it's a pr-/marketing-motivated decision. Look how we're empowering women in Hollywood by having women write/direct/produce female comic heroines. Women are by far a minority audience for any geek media, whether it's science fiction or comic-inspired, and I interpret these hires as targeting that audience.

At the end of the day there are major issues with gender imbalance in entertainment, so I don't really have an issue with it, so long as the women hired are qualified and do a good job. Maybe some success here will help open doors and help balance the scales down the road. To the point that gender isn't relevant to the discussion. Although at the same time there's the risk that box office and/or critical failure by either of these films (referring to ww and cm) will result in a step back toward the perception that female leads can't carry franchises and female directors can't deliver the goods. Because there's little doubt in my mind that they'll face tougher scrutiny than their male counterparts, whether we're talking writers, actresses or production staff.

Regardless, they can't afford for either of these movies to fail, not just for that reason, but because they're both such major characters in their respective comic universe.

I agree that it's probably part of the marketing ploy. But with all of the great female producers, directors, screenwriters and show runners working each and every day, it almost comes across as pandering and in some ways, condescending, as if only a female director can faithfully interpret Wonder Woman.

It just seems like an unnecessary ploy. But that's not to say that Patty Jenkins isn't talented or unworthy of the gig.

It's absolutely pandering.

Here is an exclusive picture of WW jet plane

















Isn't it cool, it's luxury but it's fast.

They needed a little humor in the B vs. S movie. They should have used something like this.

She's so ****in' sexy. Don't care at all if she can act or not. I'll see it just because she's eye candy.

One of the most beautiful women on the planet IMO.

And it's a Marvel popcorn flick. It ain't winning an Oscar for best picture/screenplay/actress etc. It's a kid's film based off a comic book I mean wtf else do you expect?

As long as it's not a Megan Fox Jennifer's Body or TMNT abomination, then I don't think there should be anything to worry about.

It's a DC movie, FYI.

Agreed. I will watch this while eating popcorn. :)

They could cast Alexandra Daddario as James Bond and I would support the decision...

They could have cast her in Ghostbusters and I would have been there opening night.

She definitely didn't save "San Andres", though the bikini shots were entertaining.

I also concur with these statements

Now you're talking. Get the people who made Kingsman:The Secret Service to do up some Jayne Bond movies with Alexandra Daddario. Reboot the franchise with a beautiful sexy woman. **** it-worth a shot.

That would actually be kind of fun. Do a Bond movie with the current guy where he's teamed up with a beautiful young woman. Make it like a buddy cop/secret spy combo. In the end it looks like he dies. The after credit scene is her walking up to a hotel desk, the clerk says 'Name?' and she says 'Bond. Jayne Bond." And then you see him on a sailboat in paradise near a beach smoking a cigar and drinking brandy. Start a run of female Bond movies and establish the system for turning over actors.

I will see the "Baywatch" remake if only to see her in a bathing suit.

Fingers crossed for semi nude scene

I thought it would be funny if WW and Batman were walking along in a field and suddenly Batman bonks his head on the invisible jet. That would have been hilarious.

I want nothing more than to believe it is irrelevant and that a good story teller should be able to tell any story, but all we have to look at is female archetypes because most roles don't dare to step outside those definitions.

Monster, however, does get way outside the boundaries. If Wonder Woman is meant to fall outside of female norms, I see that as a great choice for a director. Is is because Patty Jenkins is a woman? There isn't enough evidence to answer that definitively, so I won't, but I look forward to a day when there is enough evidence to answer the question properly.

LMAO


Seriously, the invisible jet is one of the dumbest superhero thing ever. The old TV show was particularly absurd.

http://static2.comicvine.com/uploads...womanplane.jpg

Wow. I had completely forgotten about the invisible jet.

That is so, so bad.

It was awful because, hello! The jet is clear but she's not.

That said, a fully stealth plane would be cool.

It's especially odd considering a man created the character. So now he couldn't possibly correctly interpret his own character if he were still alive?

I like this trailer. The movie looks like good fun with some interesting characters.

Saw the trailer earlier, really like what I'm seeing so far.

<iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JsjtqpLbtvU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Flash's suit looks dumb.

Yes. Also don't like how he arcs up a room when he speeds up.

At least they didn't tease Supes in the trailer, even though we all know he'll be there.

That trailer is months old. There's nothing 2017 about it.

The actor is lame too, WW and The Flash movie franchises are ones I'm not going to see due to casting.

Barry Allen character reminds me of Leonard from The Big Bang Theory. That's not cool for a Super Hero.

The more times I've seen BvS, Gal Gadot has grown on me as a plausible Wonder Woman. At first I couldn't stand her in the role, but not now.

I only saw BVS once, but Gal Gadot had me at hello.

Plausible and superhero ... who gives a shit? Who looks hot as hell in that outfit? Gal Gadot.

I think I saw that a while ago, and it looks horrific. Gal Gadot would be the only reason to watch it.

I think the latest trailer is cool but word from Warner's brass is that the movie is a disaster.

Oh man...Hope that's not true. Trailer was spectacular.

Not sure if WB can handle another 'rotten' movie
..Esp with Justice League coming in November

That dinner outfit at Luthor's party.

The last one did $890 million, so I *think* they'll be okay.

Definitely no guarantees.

But worrisome studio execs about this film doesn't bode well.
