Careful, you might get called a social justice warrior.
Going to see this with the family tomorrow. The trailers look like a lot of fun.
I mean, I kind of like the idea of being called some kind of warrior, that’s pretty sweet. I’ve always fancied myself more a Mage though. Can I be a Social Justice Mage?
I’m taking the family out - the wife and the daughter both want to watch this, so I’m grateful there won’t be any “Fifty Shades of Wonder Woman” going on. That would be pretty awkward.
How about Archwizard of Kickassery?
Yep, that’d do it. :)
Okay, so we’re all just supposed to magically know exactly where your care/don’t care threshold is regarding the character this movie is about, so as to avoid accidentally exposing you to any new information. Got it.
It’s not like this is irrelevant backroom trivia. The creator’s interests strongly influenced the series in its early years–

Soo… yeah.
…but likely have nothing to do with the film. On any level. And hence my personal desire to see the title of this thread change. It’s not because it offended me (it didn’t); it’s because it didn’t make any sense (outside of her famous whip). Sure, there ended up being backstory behind it I didn’t know about, and I apologize if I trampled on @Telefrog’s joke, but I still feel like the new thread title is better in every way.
What you are supposed to do, and there is no magic about it, is not assume that when comic book worlds and characters go mainstream that that means everyone who has or will see the movies has or is actually reading the comics or even cares about the comic book sphere you seem so passionate about. You seem to be incredibly angry about this, but let me point out through that red haze of yours, that I’ve not asked anyone to do anything. All I pointed out to you is that there are several of us who are not part of the comic book world, so making assumptions that we know what goes on there is a mistake. And people who don’t know about your niche hobby are not deficit in anyway.
Carry on.

Which was precisely the point I tried to make about some of Telefrog’s pithy thread titles in general. Allow me to digress for a moment. Another example was the Destiny 2 thread (I actually asked what the thread title was supposed to mean). People who had played the first game probably got the context, and for them, it might have been funny. However, as someone that hadn’t played the first game, it just seemed stupid. Given that Destiny 2 is appearing on platforms that the first game did not, the thread title was particularly unhelpful.
Coming back on topic. The origin of the character is an interesting piece of history, if nothing else. However, it has very little if anything to do with this movie, and, like the Destiny thread, made little sense to those of us that aren’t as deeply immersed in comic lore. Calling out such an esoteric bit of lore in the thread title was…odd.
I just want to know if she has an invisible jet in this movie.
How DARE you bring pugs into this?
Can I just say that I love you all, don’t ever change. :P
Well I didn’t see a jet…
Wife was psyched enough about the movie to get opening night tickets (early), so I just got out.
I liked it a lot. I’d put it in the upper 30% of recent super-hero movies. It’s still got a bunch of Snyder rattling around in it (he co-wrote), but it’s nowhere near as turgid as the other recent DC movies.
The first third is pretty effective character set-up, the second third is a great fish out of water sequence with some decent social commentary. The last third more or less devolves into a standard super-hero punch-fest, but it was still fairly well-done. They obviously learned a lot about having better supporting characters from Marvel.
The action sequences were great, by and large. There was one fight scene were the CGI got a bit heavy, but most of the others were directed in a way that made WW’s fighting seem… well if not “realistic” then at least “conceivable”. The final fight was ludicrous, but what can you do?
I was a tiny bit disappointed that they wimped out and had a Big Bad to fight at the end because it seemed for a minute that they wouldn’t. But they redeemed themselves at the very end and mostly stuck the landing.
I saw it in 3D and would of course recommend against that. The movie is pretty dark and grey, so wearing shades didn’t help much. There was no scene where I was glad I was seeing it in that mode.
I’ve always been the Druid type myself
Went last night, loved every second of it. Gal is a wonderful WW.
How was Chris Pine?
He was good as a mansel in distress.
