The Amazons storming the beach front coming to the aide of Wonder Woman?..WTF is that? Are you kidding me? SO unrealistic. Are u telling me there was no one who can view U.S. airspace was being violated PRIOR to them touching U.S. soil & the US didnt do anything but scratch their head & wonder at it without sending out any “escorts” to “greet” them? Not one F-14? & the president remained in residence in instead of following protocol & being relocated to safety? BS. I know it’s just a comic but give me a break! It’s not the adventures of Alice in Wonder Land!!!
They could have at least, to save face, had Steve lead the “escort” & advise them that there were friendlies mixed with hostiles..that would have been more reasonable.
Oh! & when Ares raised the army of dead Amazons of past how did they appear in Washington DC? They died on Paradise Island! A little consistency wouldnt go unnoticed.
It was so disappointing.like watching Batman Beyond or Superman cut & paster is all they did!
Phillipus: General of the Amazon Guards & Queen Hippolyta’s most trusted advisor & Chancellor of Themyscira. She was black.
It was thanks to General Phillipus guidance that Wonder WOman learned to CONTROL her strength, speed, power of flight, her wisdom and wits. Wonder Woman relied on her abilities too much and learned a painful lesson when Phillipus shot her with an arrow to teach WOnder Woman that too much faith in her powers could leave her vulnerable.
Euboea: Captain in the Amazon Guard.
Mnemosyne: A historian
Where do they get Artemis & ALexis from in the movie? That is so inaccurate. Didnt they take the time to research these details? Didnt they care enough 2 do it right?
Wonder WOman was so arrogant! Yes she was naive at first but never stupid. She was kind,never weak. She was compassionate, never a sap. She was forceful when needed to & commanding but never arrogant.Wonder Woman was getting her ass whooped! Are you kidding me?! she had the same powers as Ares!
Her secret was KNOWN? That jackass, Steve, knew her secret! HER IDENTITY! AND they were shacking up??Where is the mystery? suspense? I HATED IT!!
What are they thinking? AND she changed into her costume like Superman! Superman! Was anything not taken from another comic? Wonder Woman hz her own identity!
Steve Trevor was such an ASS.. Wonder WOman may have had moments when she despaired that men were corrupt but she NEVER experienced any disillusion with him. He always remained true 2 form. He never disappointed her or caused her a moments pause in his character hence her softness she had towards him. He was always good, kind & helpful.
Dont get me wrong Im glad he manned up! His little “damsel in distress” can wear you down. I am glad they made him more of a force to be reckoned with. However, in order 2 update him 2 present day & “man him up” he didnt need 2 be a PIG 2 be a man, a gentleman without having to be an ASS. Give me a break! They showed no respect 4 the storyline!
The interplay between Diana and Steve Trevor is NOT engaging or entertaining. It was superficial & repulsive! The storyline was incomplete & inaccrate. I am glad that she was portrayed as strong, independent, confident, self reliant, compassionate, kick ass but not to the extreme where she is condescending and arrogant because that was not her. She wasnt a B*
The voice overs were good, fighting sequence and all but the chacters new make over to the extreme that you cant even relate to them is so disappointing. The accuracy of the storyline, the consistency. They threw anything at us WW fans and expected us to just lap it up and say : “thank, more please”. They didnt capture the essence of what is WW, what makes her unique. They didnt find the balance, display the struggle she had to not just pound them senseless till she got the bad guys to bend to will. Nah, this was not a Wonder Woman movie. This was Superman as drag or something. It was like watching another dc comic cartoon.
