All Things Wonder Woman: An Open Discussion - - - Part 12

[Ardyns]

Really? The washed, filtered colors in both MoS and BvS made everything look fake. There were some very bad CGI moments as well:

Superman vs Zod (two videogame models fighthing with very bad CGI at times)
Superman vs Doomsday (same)
Smallville battle (a bunch of CGI videogame models, coupled with explosions)

Snyder is all about style, but sometimes he doesn't even handle that properly. You feel like you are watching a cinematic of a videogame and not a proper action scene.

Wow I could not disagree with you more.On everything you just said.Everything.

 

[Consona]

Absolutely.I don't think I'll ever forget my first viewing of MOS in the theatres.Watching the Smallville fight.My jaws were on the floor. The sheer power, the speed, the ferocity! I was like hell yeah!! Finally we're seeing Superman cut loose! It was groundbreaking stuff.

Ardyns gets me! Exactly my feelings!

If I could I would save this post and share it a billion times over. Thank you.

But this however looks much much better.

god i love this so much.

 

[Ardyns]

I think so. Those two shots are amazing.

I don't have too much insight on Wonder Woman, but are they gonna show her flight capability in this?

 

[TeeKay]

Umm if she does flies in this, why didn't she fly in the DD battle??

 

[Ardyns]

Ardyns gets me! Exactly my feelings!

Good to know man! Snyder made me fall in love with Superman again. Forever greatful for that.

 

[DeadPresident]

My point of reference is reality. If a person was jumping/flying around, it would look like a person jumping/flying around. Not a CG model.

You've seen human beings flying around? You've seen people jump with the same kind of force that launches a jet?

That's sick bro.

Dark and washed colors don't always necessarily mean a good action scene

All the negative comments from posters with low post count. Not saying there's a pattern, but...

What pattern would that be? I don't always have something unique to say but I am a long time lurker and when a new trailer drops, I feel compelled to post.

I never expected Gal Gadot to wow me with her acting. The shot of her saying "And I'm going to do it" ...her line delivery and face is more like Wonder Girl(Troia) than Wonder Woman. Ultimately, she is selling the character visuals and the 'Wonder' part of her name so that to me is what really matters to me. After all, we are looking at her origin story where she is young and naive about the world.

On a side note, now that Doctor Poison is confirmed, I am SUPER psyched to learn about her background in this movie. Is she simply Huston's stooge? Will she hate, perhaps envy, Diana? I'm curious of her reaction to the existence of a WW.

 

[brandeezy89]

Does anyone else think this scene is her fighting Ares and going god mode?

Spoiler

Kinda looks like she's in a Twister or Hurricane so maybe that explains the levitation

Well technically she is Wonder Girl considering she recently left the island after becoming Wonder Woman.

 

[Hurm...]

It was okay. I am banking on Gadot and Pine having chemistry and that winning audiences over on the film.

The use of slo mo in the action scenes is unnecessary, and it features some weak CGI. I would also like to add that the physics of the woman swinging from the rope (only later to get shot) was utterly terrible. It was the worst moment in the trailer for me.

I do like the period setting though, and that will help add some uniqueness to the picture.

Overall, the first trailer was superior to this one.

To you maybe. For me it was the greatest **** I've ever seen on film. I used to be a huge fan of STAS and JL Unlimited and the way they did the fight scenes with the superpowered punches, tackling people through buildings and stuff, the use of superspeed, brought back those memories.

 

[Angel0fDeath]

It does look like she's flying or levitating, even though they said this version of the character doesn't fly, only jumps really high like Superman in MOS before he learned to fly himself.

Have you seen a cave troll? No, but that doesn't mean you'll accept any version of a cave troll a director throws at you. There are certain standards that make a computer generated image in a real environment feel real, even though you know it's fake.

 

[Guts]

The debris is also floating up as well. If she is fighting Ares in that scene maybe he has something to do with it.

So the horrible blue screen effects in Superman IV don't bother you then since you don't have a reference point in reality

 

[Vlyse]

The Amazons don't know about bullets. It would be silly if not one of them went down in the beach fight. I'm glad they showed Amazonian tactics and displaying their vulnerability at the same time.

If these are the greatest action scenes you've seen on film, then I would advice you to see more films, my friend. I bet you love the Transformers films.

 

[Ardyns]

But bullets can't really hurt WW right? I mean she's a demi-god, not your average run of the mill Amazonian? I imagine it would be like getting hit with rubber pellets. Not lethal but enough to be a hindrance.

I personally think it's easier to make a fictional monster look read than a CGI person based on a real person look real, since there's no point of reference for the monster.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

I thought the trailer was fantastic. Gal was wonderful. I don't know what the usual suspects are talking about. The fandom is loving it. I think this movie is going to blow people away.

When you say "the fandom", who exactly are you referring to?

 

[Greens]

I personally think it's easier to make a fictional monster look read than a CGI person based on a real person look real, since there's no point of reference for the monster.

It depends on what's happening on screen. Gravity works the same for both monsters and humans. A super awesome, amazingly detailed monster landing on the ground as if it suddenly lost half of its body weight would look fake because it's not how the real world operates.

 

[Wolfgangamadeus]

Honestly, CGI was never up to par for fire effects anyway. So I can forgive that. It's only the last part I'm worried about which looks like another beam in the sky videogame Snyder ending.
