Dude, Lynda Carter on that one episode of 2 and a half men tho?
She actually looks more wonder womanish NOW.
Originally posted by Golgo13Not sure that's true. Plus, "strong" (imho) means having some degree of mass, not being a sinewy stick like Linda Hamilton in T2. Linda was almost painful to look at, being angular, near-emaciated-looking and not at all feminine. When relaxed, sufficient muscle mass can bring its own form of voluptuousness, and when flexed, convey exceptional strength.

Godot will be a stick hyped all to hell. Just bone, sinew and a push-up bra.

Now your's is a decent argument against it happening 👆
I was just pointing out Campea's argument in that Video made little sense, especially if we were to assume the creators of the shared Universe were competent.

Well to be fair if she has anywhere close to the impact Linda Hamilton had as an action star in T2, then this new WW will be a big hit. But I doubt that'll happen.

I think it would be true. Look at her when she was younger. Her upper body is pretty much the same as Gal's. The only thing bigger was her legs.

His reasoning is pretty weak tbh.Agents of Shield hasn't been the best show, but that's nothing to do with it crossing over with the movies. In fact AOS got a heck of a lot better when it adopted the Movie verse plot from Captain America 2.
Also crossing the movie and tv series over got AOS picked up by a bigger network, which is why it still gets a lot more viewers than Arrow, despite Arrow clearly being the better show.
So there would be commercial and logical reasons to cross them over (not that I'm saying they definitely should). But I personally just don't like the idea of a different Flash in a tv series whilst the JL is starting on the big screen. Especially if the show ends up being great quality and a big success.
Edit- Also seriously, give the writers some credit. They're not going to be all stuck following the continuity of 1 DC film a year. By that argument you shouldn't even cross Arrow over with the Flash, because of the "creative limitations" of making both shows meld with each other.
Besides if they really wanted to do it, they could always say the Arrow and Flash series take place like 5 years before the JL movies which would solve 90% of those problems anyway.
AOS is a terrible show, IMO. Has it got better? Sure, but his arguments make sense. You restrict the show and movies if you cross them over.
Anyway, even if WB did do that, it would be forced since nothing on the show was hinted at being in the shared universe. Would be different if they mentioned Superman in Arrow, but MOS is long gone by now.

Yeah but has it's crappiness had anything to do with being in a shared universe? Like I said, the show actually got A LOT better when it adopted the CA2 plot. So being a shared universe greatly benefitted the show there.

Yeah I agree. It was never planned, so would have to be forced. That's the actual reason it probably wouldn't be a good idea. I'm just saying Campea's reasoning is kind of silly.
Also don't like the idea of no solo movie for The Flash. They should have done that instead of a TV show that won't be related to the DCCU.

AOS is a fairly new show. It's restrictions can still hurt it in the long run. And besides, if you're NOT part of any shared universe, the TV show is FREE to do whatever it wants and not consult with the movie side, which is good.
Don't get me wrong, I was all for the guy from Arrow or the Flash to join the Justice League, but I also like the TV universe part of it's own thing as well. Kinda like Nolan and his Batman universe not part of any shared universe. Having a shared universe in the movies is kinda overrated, IMO. It doesn't always have to be linked to anything.
Looks like we won't get the WW pic. The news was basically this:
Warner Bros. has announced that their VIP Studio Tour will feature a Batman exhibit. This in celebration the 75th anniversary of Batman. The tour will focus on various elements that have appeared in the Batman films including the batmobiles and props from The Dark Knight Trilogy. Below are some of the things you will see on the tour.

Blunt doesn't look far off in this pic I found.
Also, what's with the exoticism of Wonder Woman? As many images I've seen of her, you couldn't tell if she was Anglo-saxon or not. She's always been an athletic, blue-eyed, brunette Caucasian. Jennifer Aniston has a Greek background and you can't discern her from an Anglo-saxon.

Yeah, I don't see it. Blunt is a great actress, but I don't see her as WW.

nice fan made.. blunt could've been much better..
this is in the facebook dc group i am in...
not sure if i believe it all
It's something about Blunts face I don't like.
Anyway...
Michigan native “Bananadoc” grabbed his camera and headed to the old GM building across the street from the Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac to snap the photo above. The statue is still being constructed, but you can clearly see that it’s Superman in front of a huge green screen.
Bananadoc also tried to get a better photo of the LexCorp logo, but unfortunately it was covered up with a tarp. That tarp will be coming off later this week, however.Batman News has learned that a LexCorp scene will be filmed on June 12th and 13th.

I think your overrating the advantage of BEING FREE to do anything WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS of a Shared Universe. All shows are free to do anything, it doesn't somehow make them all great.
And your really speculating about how those restrictions are going to hurt the show in the long run. Fact is so far being part of a shared universe has only helped AOS, a show that was down in the dumps to suddenly improve a massive amount in it's second season.
Your also missing the freedom a shared universe brings. AOS was FREE to bring in Jamie Alexander as Lady Sif. And that brought tons of excitement, and again gave us a great episode. It was FREE to use Samuel L. as Nick Fury, instead of bringing in a new and different Nick Fury. That also brought in tons of excitement. The Flash series is FREE to bring in Stephen Amell's Arrow, and him having a crossover scene in The Flash pilot makes that a lot more exciting.
So it's not all- "Oh their free to do anything now, so the show will be better" because it just doesn't work like that at all. Oh and btw, they are actually still restricted, because WB has always been careful not to repeat the same thing in 2 different mediums. So for instance the makers of Superman Returns were coordinating with the makers of Smallville to make sure they weren't just going to do the same thing at the same time. So in a similar way I've read in interviews Arrow is restricted to who they can use in the DC Universe and who they can't.

These things are hardly ever linked. But end of the day AOS has more viewers than Arrow. And that's all down to the Shared Universe marketing. So I don't think it's overrated at all. It's proven to be a successful model, and tends to get people more excited for the individual franchises.
But I do agree with the argument that because WB/DC never planned it like that, that they should probably leave them separate now. No point in forcing them to merge their Universes. But then I also don't see the point in a different Flash on TV whilst simultaneously having a different on on the big screen (who probably won't even have an origin or solo movie for a long time to come). They should have given us a Flash movie series instead.
Originally posted by DARTH POWERI remember that impact, how so many of the women I knew were crowing how great she looked (a crowning testimony, imo, to the brainwashing power of Big Diet and Big Fashion). I kept wanting to throw up.
Well to be fair if she has anywhere close to the impact Linda Hamilton had as an action star in T2, then this new WW will be a big hit.
Originally posted by Golgo13Linda? Couldn't find any young (ie, pre-T2) body pics of her. But as I posted above, I remember the impact her sinewy T2 body had on so many women's psyches. I don't think any of these women were particularly familiar with Wonder Women or even read comics.
I think it would be true. Look at her when she was younger. Her upper body is pretty much the same as Gal's. The only thing bigger was her legs.

I never said all shows were great. Come on. The same would hold true for shared universe ones as well. Just because you're part of a shared universe doesn't mean your going to be great or good.
And I think you may be overrating some of the guest appearances to a degree. AOS had Samuel L. Jackson? Cool, I guess. Lady Sif? Meh. How about Thor or Iron Man? That would be awesome. Where is Hulk? Even better. Could AOS have that in the future? I guess, but I want to see real heroes. Not Lady Sif and Nick Fury. Nick Fury is a given.
AOS is on a better network (ABC), which is one of the reasons it has a better rating. Arrow is on CW. Better ratings, doesn't mean better show. TBH, I only watch a handful of episodes, but I hear Arrow is the superior show.
i Dont know why since the announcement of an Agents of shield TV show people were so confused and got the wrong impression of what the show would be.
I seriously dont know how a show called AGENTS of shield could be confused for MARVEL SUPER HEROES. Meaning that people automatically thought that it was a show about Marvel super heroes. When it was never suppose to be that and it was never promoted to be that.
Its not the shows fault people made that mistake.
Of coarse the show would include some for of powered being from time to time, or hints at tthings happening in the MU, but thats it.
LOL @ wanting mini avengers every week from a show that is not suppose to be that.
Thats why you cant really compare AOS 100% to a show like arrow, because that show is actually about a Hero as the main attration.
