Seriously?A civilization of strong, brutal women? And they even have a big battle at the beginning of the film. Women are never going to be truly equal to men until they have their own violent battles.. 😂
They're Amazons, though. That's how they are in the comics. And some of them get killed by the Germans too.

I don't doubt it. But it's probably not a coincidence that it got a big Hollywood push at this particular time in history with American politics in the state it's in.

Oh, I don't doubt at all that there are some not-so honourable reasons for wanting the movie made.
I just think the movie did a good job of avoiding making Diana turn out like Rey, for example. She's a skilled warrior, but they play up the young fish out of water aspect exceptionally well I think.

I completely agree. I finished the movie and it's great (for the comicbook/superhero formula). Think they had to borrow a lot from Marvel, particularly Captain American and Thor, but they still used the Zack Snyder-esque action (except this time with some legitimate drama and emotion). I can't believe I was actually sort of wow-ed by some of the fight scenes. They were kind of fun. And the vulnerability of Diana made her much more interesting than most superheros. For that her woman-hood was probably essential. And the film felt much less SJW-inspired in the second half. The film kind of transcends its superhero nature to become a legitimately good movie.
I think she and Chris Pine had great chemistry, but they should have shown them do a little more than just kiss. That was kind of dumb. These comicbook films tend to be a bit prudish.
This is actually pretty cool.

I mean that up until a few years ago, Hollywood wouldn't touch female-led hero movies with a ten-foot pole, and not just because of Elektra and Catwoman, I imagine. But in the last few years we've seen a rise, especially in action movies (which tends to cross over with the superhero genre), of movies led by women.
While the movies might be good (WW, Mad Max) or awful (Ghostbusters), it does make me wonder what changed their attitudes so much.

Yeah but then they did the whole "exterior shot of a light going out", which tends to mean someone's getting ****ed. At least to me it does.
Oh, if they did I missed that.
Well, for some reason quanch thinks I want to see Chris Pine's penis, but for the connection of the characters I think they needed to show a little more than just a kiss.

I double-checked, and seems I was remembering wrong. We get an exterior shot that pulls back, but the light stays on.
I still think they ****ed though.
I would like to say that Wonder Woman only made money because it's a superhero movie. Everyone likes superheroes and there is no way a parent is not going to take their children to see it. Look at Transformers. Most of the movies are downright idiotic but it still makes money because it's.....Transformers. So all popular comic book hero movies will make money period.
