so long as Gadot is well received, she'll get a movie

This always amazes me. I've only seen one WW comic out of the maybe hundred or so I've read where she battled a mythical creature.
I want them to play up her mythological backgrounds as much as works for the film. That's one of the reasons I like the character so much.you're saying you don't want to see Wonder Woman fight any mythical creatures in a solo film? I personally hope they play up her mythological origins. Mythological creatures would be a welcome addition, and would make perfect sense given her origins.
I want them to focus more on gods and goddesses, but I wouldn't mind a few Guillermo Del Toro designed monsters for her to face off against.
His design sensibilities are perfect for WW.
Serious question: What does WW does in her superhero downtime asides from being a princess?

^And Steamteck, I'm just talking about the general audience. I would certainly go see Wonder Woman suplexing the Kraken, but I've also seen the Kill Bill movies, the Underworld movies, half the Resident Evil movies, Ultraviolet, both Tomb Raider movies, Salt, both Charlies Angels movies, Hanna and some others I'm sure, because I show up for women kicking butt in leading roles. Most others do not, the highest ranking of those where women solve all their problems like superheroes was Tomb Raider, with $131M domestic. The higher quality ones earned even less.

Not sure that Kill Bill should be counted as any thing less than a success; vol 1 and 2 were each made on a budget of 30 mil and grossed $180,949,045 and $152,159,461 respectively world wide that is more than 6 and 5 times the budget respectively and that's as R rated ultra gory Martial Arts revenge epics that are 8th and 9th highest grossing wire fu movies domestically(not adjusted for inflation)Often the counter is: well if they just make the films great, success will come. Not only do we have examples of that not happening (Kill Bill), but the same thing that keeps the audience from showing up also keeps filmmakers from showing up and/or giving their best. It's a cumulative effect, not isolated incidents.

Ugh, Goyer.
We live in a misogynist society. There's a reason Kill Bill, the highest acclaimed and most truly successful (thanks for the correction) all-action heroine starts with her getting raped. Goyer's lack of awareness of anything She-Hulk beyond how sexable she is is simply a symptom of that. Another writer may handle her, or Wonder Woman, even worse. :/
It was all part of his comedy routine on the podcast.
