I'm glad she said what she said. I am definitely going to go see it in theaters.

Care to provide examples? Because all I can come up with is Ghostbusters and The Last Jedi, and TLJ is sort of debatable (it made over a billion dollars has a 7.2 on IMDB). And it's sort of convenient to set aside Black Panther when it directly contradicts your argument.

I have no problem believing the "it's unlike any other Marvel movie" thing because that was true of Dr. Strange and of Guardians. I have no doubt they're trying something different. I do get a very TLJ vibe where even if they they think its a love-it-or-hate-it movie they don't say a thing...

And keep in mind that people WANTED to love TLJ. Quote:
I think Black Panther and Luke Cage are the perfect examples of how to add diversity to your films: take diverse characters people already love and adapt them to the screen. And as far as female characters go I think they should have made a Black Widow (a known character people already like) way before a Carl Manvers movie. The character already has mystery surrounding her and fans know who she is. I WANT to know what happened to Black Widow. You don't have to force diversity - you just quit ignoring that you have a plethora of diverse characters you can choose from...

That's just crazy talk. How can you be more inclusive if you don't try to eliminate the more offensive tropes?

Gal Gadot mostly kept her mouth shut. That seems to be the problem here: BL has the audacity to use her visibility as a platform. And some folks HATE when celebrities do that, unless the celeb is saying something they like.
It was still the same kind of shit in other ways, though. Instead of making fun of pics of Brie Larson's ass, dudes were complaining that Gal didn't have the right body for Wonder Woman (read: her boobs were too small). Gal had also already shown up in BvS and basically stole the show, so there was something there upon which to base cautiously optimistic expectations. Well, that and Patty Jenkins. Whereas I don't even know who directed CM. |

Sorry, but this is what the character SHOULD look like. And not just because she has a great rack - but because she looks like what an Amazon should look like. Would you want a mousy Superman? |

Maybe if she could act well enough to carry a blockbuster. But she can't.
And Gadot IS Wonder Woman now. No question about that. Regardless of what or who anybody might have wanted, she owned the role and now she embodies it. |
