kajnrig Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Was just about to post that as well. My thoughts: Kind of a bad trailer, I hope the final product is better but I don't expect it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really didn't reveal anything more, which I'm glad for, except for a little more backstory on Diana. Even more hyped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Around the 0:28 mark, someone says, "You will train her harder than any Amazon before her ... until she is better than even you. But she must never know the truth about what she is." Now... is that a thing? Is that a Wonder Woman character trait/canon that exists in the comics? Like she doesn't know that she's descended from the Ancient Greek Gods, or that she's really a human, or something, and part of her origin story has her discovering that truth? Because otherwise it sounds like a really dumb conspiracy plot to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still prefer the Clay-origin over Hippolyta having a shag with Zues. It was much more touching in that her mother wanted a child so desperately, that she fashioned one from clay and begged the gods to give it life. And Diana still had super powers seeing as she was god-wrought. Anyway, hoping they stay with 'clay.' Edited March 13, 2017 by Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Was her not knowing she was divine (or undivine if it turns out she's just a human) part of the story, though? As in there was a plot to keep that information from her because of such-and-such reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way more in line with the abject weirdness of the Ancient Greeks than yet again baby daddy Zeus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Read on a website where folk are annoyed that WW's eyes aren't blue like they are in the comic. Is that an actual deal breaker? I wonder what Gal Gadot would look like if she wore special color contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Those are people who obviously can't see that she's one of the most beautiful women in the world and need to turn OFF the computer, step out of their mom's basement, and go out and actually talk to a real girl.

no3Ljm Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I just shake my head most of the time reading things like that. Can't they just like the whole movie instead of just looking at the color of her eye? I mean it's not just gonna be her in close-up for 2.5 hours, right?

Thom Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Silly thing to worry about. If all movies did was hire people who look exactly like the drawn image, there may never be any movie made of said character, or they would be played by the worst actors ever. What people have to do is understand that it's make believe! As long as the actor/actress fits the role and makes it believably their own, then stop worrying about stupid little things.

mechaninac Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Reminds me of some of the complaints regarding RDJ when he was cast as Tony Stark/Iron Man: too short, blah, blah, blah. As it turned out, he owned the role so thoroughly that now it's almost impossible to picture the character brought to life by anyone else. To be sure, Lynda Carter has been the embodiment of WW... but that was cheesy TV, and almost 40 years ago, as as many have pointed out, Gadot is so hot, who cares what her eye color is?...

Or better yet, like he or she must never know the truth where she came from or something-something. It wouldn't be believable if he or she just wants to help people in need just because they want to. They need to put something there to get people's sympathy and make the character interesting. It's a basic plot formula that they keep on using it over and over. 3 minutes ago, Mommar said: At one point there was a rumor they were going to make her Kryptonian. Now, that's interesting. But, I always think that they can't go on that route. I always liked it when they always refer to Superman, the Last Son of Krypton. But they already took that away the moment his 'cousin' showed up.

The whole "Made from clay"-cover story was to protect Diana from Hera, cuz Hera doesn't like it when Zeus drops his pants in front of the mortal ladies and gets them pregnant (*cough* Hercules/Heracles, Aeacus, Arcas, Atymnius, Perseus, Cres, Thebe, Corinthus, etc...*/cough*). Heck, Zeus drops his pants for the immortal ladies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) This isn't weird at all. The industry invented blackface and consider/considered CGI-ing ScarJo to look "more Asian." C'mon.

They need to put something there to get people's sympathy and make the character interesting. It's a basic plot formula that they keep on using it over and over. I dunno, Steve Rogers seems pretty believable a character to me, and he's not the son of the inventor of the super soldier program or anything. His interesting story doesn't involve his parents/superiors/etc. lying to him about what he is. It doesn't turn out in Batman that Gotham City had Bruce's parents killed, and yet audiences continue to dig his movies. It feels like "my superiors are keeping a big secret from me" is becoming the go-to writing crutch when it hampers a movie more often than not. Does Wonder Woman REALLY need that kind of story arc to keep her interesting? I don't think so. Granted, this is all speculative, so maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, but regardless, I really hope they do something more creative with it than what's being implied by the trailer. 7 hours ago, azrael said: The whole "Made from clay"-cover story was to protect Diana from Hera, cuz Hera doesn't like it when Zeus drops his pants in front of the mortal ladies and gets them pregnant (*cough* Hercules/Heracles, Aeacus, Arcas, Atymnius, Perseus, Cres, Thebe, Corinthus, etc...*/cough*).

That's a shame. ...or is this one of those Dumb Comic Book Things where they retcon it in future revisions of her origin story?

Thom Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This is a case where I would like the cover story better than the 'truth.' The whole shtick of Zeus 'dropping trow' is so trite... But, I can see the need of a cover story to protect Hippolyta, Diana and the Amazons from Hera. Which didn't turn out too well in the New 52...
