I thought flying means you can change directions but it's hard to do that when you're leaping/jumping, like if Diana does more than up and under moves then she's flying, vise versa.

Who said she couldn't change directions? Pretty sure I saw her fly forwards in that final battle and crash the villain through a building. It was reminiscent of MoS fly villain through building scene with Zod. Hang time is not floating like she did. MJ does hang time. Levitating is more than simply staying in the air before gravity hits. She levitated at least 3 times. I feel like I'm the only one who saw her blast up from that metal she was trapped in and float, where a few minutes early she flying and the villain trapped in that metal. I'm using "villain" because I don't know to discuss this with the movie still in theaters. Although I guess the rest of what I posted wasn't bad spoilery?

So far we've seen WW do some major leaps in BvS, WW, and the Jl trailer, like someone said Aquaman is doing the same thing because they have so much strength. The only time Diana may have flown is in her last bits of fighting Ares.
To me flying means staying up in the air for a long duration that has no connection to the strength of your leap. Apart from the one time against Ares, Diana has been shown to jump high and far and then to come back in contact with the ground.

I know that they probably did not do this on purpose, but I love than they got someone who was truly "other" to play Diana and didn't go the standard British route to convey being foreign.

Never understood why Diana is always depicted having an American accent when she's from an Greek island. I know Wonder Girl from one of the DC cartoon shorts on Youtube, has an Hispanic like accent but that was the only time i've notice.

A fictional Greek island where they somehow fluently studied all the languages.
I had a teacher with an unusually blended accent whilst speaking English which he explained was due to how multilingual he was.

I've only seen the movie once so I'd love to see it again keeping in mind what you said.

I know some Malaysians and they speak at least 4-5 language and none of them except the mother language is spoken with an "accurate" accent lol.

The same blase mindset that had all the Amazons in nighties, as though every night was a pajama-party on Paradise Island...

They were going for a Greek accent in those shorts.

In Greek Mythology the Amazons actually traveled from Libya and settled in a region that is now part Turkey. The Amazons even fought alongside the Trojans against the Greeks in the the Trojan War. Troy was in Turkey.
If you recall in the movie, Steve Trevor was in Turkey when he stole Dr. Poison's notebook. So Themyscira couldn't have been that far away from Turkey. I doubt Steve's plane would have made it all the way to Greece.
That means Diana should have a Turkish accent, not a Greek accent. I wonder how different an Israeli accent is from a Turkish accent, in that they are in the same region?

I love how Supergirl is so mischievous.

 

[hawkflame]

I love how Supergirl is so mischievous.

TPing Lex Luthor's lair is the most appropriate use of the invisible jet ever.

 

[Osiris-Rex]

I love how Supergirl is so mischievous.

And buff compared to some of the other animated versions of Supergirl. About twice as big as the other two characters.

So…

We might agree that the battle with Doomsday in BvS was sufficiently chaotic and isolated that Diana remained anonymous.

And in the prologue of WW, Diana continues to be anonymous - to the extent that no one at the Louvre appears to recognize Ms Prince as a world-famous super powered superhero.

Therefore, the final shot in the epilogue of WW - where Wonder Woman springs into action due to some crisis in Paris - represents her “coming out” to the modern world.


Is that the theory?

True if otherwise the Daily Planet would have mentioned her the same way they mentioned Batman working with Superman

 

[Dr.]

Except… in one of the JL teaser/trailers, there was a shot of Diana Prince doing (apparently) art/antiquities curator stuff - thus implying that she’s still incognito in JL.

Unless…

Maybe having her hair pulled back constitutes her “disguise” and no one at the Louvre recognizes her.

Went back and watched the SDCC WW trailer and noticed at least 5 different shots from the trailer that weren't in the movie.

When Patty said nothing was cut from the movie that would make an extended edition necessary, I think she was talking about cutting out any major scenes that would take out some plot points. Like what happened with BvS.

Really? Which ones? Just angles?

Was this posted before? It is an article about the costumes.

The author made some good points and is obviously well educated on the subject... Shave a couple of points off for not accurately stating who designed the WW costume. Hemming did the design for the film proper but the WW costume was of course a Wilkinson creation.

It seems that fans, and not WB, want to lessen the input Zack Snyder and his team had on the DCEU to a somewhat obtuse degree. WB just put out a press release for JL where Snyder is decidedly identified as the director, with no mention of Joss Whedon.

Not to take away anything from the amazing job that Jenkins did in bringing us a WONDER WOMAN solo film. Still... She was chosen for the job by the Snyders, had a story which originated from Zack Snyder, using a lead cast by Snyder, and of course Zack and Deborah produced WW as well. I think it's disingenuous to try and pretend as though their contributions amounted to nothing in relation to the success of the WW film.

I am not saying that the article didn't mention Wilkinson on purpose. The author admits to not being a really big super hero fan with only the most passing knowledge of WW. But it is missing the full story to not understand how that Snyder commissioned costume impacted the film's aesthetic or how the previous appearance of Diana in BvS influences the WW solo.

I believe that in the early CW preview (with Geoff Johns and Kevin Smith) there were a couple of shots from that fight with the Germans in the building that didn't end up in the movie either. Like the kick that people complained about at the time that didn't connect! It was still very early on.

It was an interesting article but I wished she had mentioned Michael Wilkinson too. I just took it that she didn't know all about WW in the DCEU and was just reacting to what she saw and knew in this movie.

I do think about that it was Zack who cast Gal as WW, he was the one who really created WW for the DCEU, working with Wilkinson, and really established what she would be like, in terms of powers, movement and look etc. Patty of course did a great job in expanding her character, her powers, and her emotional depth.
