All Things Wonder Woman: An Open Discussion - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 23

[Black Narcissus]

Just a comfort thing.

I prefer to be in a packed theater along with people that I know so I can talk about the movie after. Usually my sister is that person, but she refuses for this one.

Just go alone with shades on.

Make sure to sit to next to a nice lady, and say ''sup, this seat taken?'' before she says anything just sit, and watch her move away, but make sure to respond by letting her know you have a ryan gosling avie and stuff.

I just realised there's never one instance of her being referred to as Wonder Woman anywhere in the film. Even the credits has her listed as just 'Diana'.

20 years from now, the gritty R-rated sendoff film will be called Diana.

This flick did make me care about Steve.

Spoiler

I wish he had that auto pilot like Bruce did in Rises.

Lois can die in JL, and would not care for her

Spoiler

like I did Steve

.

Honestly if she

drowned while fishing out that spear in BvS I'd be relieved

 

[markjoedelonge]

He was talking about how it's difficult to do something new in the genre. We usually just see cities being destroyed, and so on.

And then, referencing the upcoming Avengers movie, a rhetorical question, "Really? We need more war for all time?"

Ahh. That's not so bad. At least not as bad as "**** Marvel" ala Mr Ayer.

I mean, if you're gonna say something like that, at least have a great film to back you up.

Thanks for posting these Bruce! Very heartwarming to read, and I hope for a similar outpouring of support when JL hits.

Going for my second viewing now

Thank god! If she is never called Wonder Woman I'll be happy.

 

[Dark Raven]

I suppose you'd like Bruce Wayne never to be called Batman or Clark Kent never to be called Superman too?

 

[Vlyse]

I think I get where matt47 is coming from? Superman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Cyborg, The Martian ... they're all easily named. Why is she called 'Wonder Woman'? Why does she get that name? Superman came first to the public , it'd make more sense they'd just dub her "the Super Woman" even if its clear to the public she has no relation to Superman. I dunno where "Wonder" comes from.

Because she inspires wonder in others, and she's like a wonder (as in "7 wonders of the world") or a miracle (as in "signs and wonders").

Someone looks at her belt, sees two WWs and goes ... something Woman ... Wonder Woman - slap that on a newspaper headline!

Whoever names her, gets to brand her. So, they'd be looking for a unique name, not a Superman derivative.

I think this is likely, I just want to see it on film. In the JL trailer we see 2 Leaguers get named, I'll be peeved if the whole League gets named and Wonder Woman's name is just an offscreen matter-of-fact.

 

[brandeezy89]

Lois will most likely name her

 

[jaymes_e06]

True and she wouldn't let the first female superhero be merely an offshoot of a male one already existing.

 

[Iceman]

I look forward to JL: Origins and "The Wonder Woman".

"What's the Double W stand for?"

"It's not a double W"

"It's just a golden... thing."

"What's the Dubya stand for?"

"WW boosh!"

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

Raiden just seems to want to start crap. Nothing Chris said was negative towards the MCU. I'm happy to see another actor come out who isn't in love with comic books and their movies.
BTW I never realized Marvel is having another war.

Wonder Woman is definitely a press/media type of name.

Wonder Woman is definitely a press/media type of name.

Etta Candy could've named her. She could've asked how's their little wonder woman getting on.

 

[aNarcHy2day]

Etta Candy gets old and writes a faux-historical account of World War 1 involving a mysterious 'Wonder Woman'. While it is relegated to fiction resulting from the over active imagination of an octogenarian, conspiracy theorists sought evidence of the existence of this mysterious figure.

The myth propagated over the next few decades but was never more until one Alexander Luthor Junior directed his considerable resources into finding this 'Wonder Woman' and caught a break.

 

[Dark Raven]

William Moulton Marston originally wanted to call her "Suprema the Wonder Woman" like "Robin the Boy Wonder", but editor Sheldon Mayer disliked it and told him to cut it down to Wonder Woman.
