Wonder Woman (2017)

[Baby Lee]

The bigger problem

The Wonder Woman first look closes with Prince meeting Trevor’s secretary. “What is a secretary?” she asks. “I go where he tells me to go and I do what he tells me to do,” the woman responds. “Well where I’m from, that’s called slavery,”

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.

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

Lighten up, Francis.

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.
