BvS Gal Gadot IS Wonder Woman! - Part 1

[The Valeyard]

Lynda Carter's body type is completely different; and she was definitely not skinnier than Gadot. Carter had a slim figure, but Gadot is basically an ectomorph. She doesn't have the curves, hips, large breasts and thighs that Carter once had and still does. No comparison.

Who cares. Go back to the pictures I posted.

Lynda Carter was not muscular as Wonder Woman. That's my point.

In the role, she was skinny.

Look at her arms.

And it was perfectly acceptable.


Gal can easily get to that.

 

[ThePhantasm]

It plays a part man but c'mon, you really think all this thin talk is down to her lack of breasts? The girl has so little shape all around.

I didn't have all the critics in mind... that's why I was careful to throw "many" in there

 

[The Valeyard]

When I see Gal in this pic:

She doesn't look like a complete "stick figure" unlike in other pics....

It's because her boob is sticking out.

Gal was also in the Israeli Military for two years. I'm not worried about her pulling off action scenes, and she can always bulk up. WW is not often depicted as "bodybuilder" big in the comics anyways.

Her and every other Israeli citizen; it's mandatory.

 

[TheJediBrah]

No, there are people saying literally that very thing.

I didn't see that, but if so, they're stupid

I'll give you that but Snyder made you believe that she was fit even those she was covered. All Gal needs to do is work on here biceps and eat *samiches*.

That really doesn't matter, because she's actually larger than Gal (not taller).

And I'm going to assume WW won't be in armor.. or maybe she will!?

If she's wearing armour or covered like that it doesn't matter at all though, because you can just pad the costume like they did with Cavill.

But if Wonder Woman is going sleeveless it's different.

 

[Golgo-13]

I can definitely see her as WW physically, but the press release statement about her being a great actress sounds……

 

[OutOfBoose]

And it was perfectly acceptable.

When comic book movies were more than pathetic, yeah.

Gal can easily get to that.

I bet creators understand, that times have changed. And I hope they won't go this way.

 

[The Valeyard]

Well, I didn't want WW in this movie at all. So, I'm sad. I guess this is what it feels like to be left off the hype-train. It sucks. I just wanted Supes/Bats. The Superman character wasn't developed at all and now here we are already. Yes, I know. Debbie Downer.

That's a fault of MoS.

When comic book movies were more than pathetic, yeah.

Plenty of fans still see Lynda Carter as the ideal image of WW. And that's her above.. skinny as WW.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Gal is gonna need to eat alot... and buy some HGH from Stallone.

Can she? Not everyone can gain weight, especially with frames like hers.

The point still stands.

I know. It was a stupid comment. Blowing smoke, nothing more.

 

[Marvin]

You found her "fattest" picture.

Right....

considering this is a discussion on her potential, should I have found her at her skinniest?
She just needs to look capable. Just like Anne Hathaway looked capable.

The woman has Angelina's frame and angie sells all her action roles.

 

[Boom]

I am by know means a fitness expert, but I would like to once again throw this out there:

1. While the announcement was made today, I would wager that Gadot has been locked down for several weeks now.
2. She will have access to a professional trainer/nutritionist.
3. She is acting in a Zack Snyder film. Zack Snyder - a man who has a borderline fetish with rippling muscles.
4. Production begins in February. A film of this size would most likely require a 5-6 month shoot. So we are looking at production wrapping in June or maybe even July. We have no idea how large of a role she has, nor do we know when, during that 5-6 month period, she will be shooting.

Some people are acting like she was literally just signed today, and that she will be there Day 1 of production two months from now. You don't think the filmmakers scheduled this shoot in accordance with the training she would require?

She'll have time.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

She's going to be Wonder Woman? That? WTF...

Not only is Gal skin and bones but she's a very average actress. I'm not liking this pick by Snyder.

Gal only weighs 20 pounds less than Wonder Woman....so I don't see your complaint of her being skin and bones. She can easily put on 20 pounds of muscle

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Anyone thinking Wonder Woman will get a bodysuit with muscle padding like Cavill? In any case, she'll likely be in armor for the entire duration.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Can she? Not everyone can gain weight, especially with frames like hers.

of course everyone can gain weight. You just have to be in a calorie surplus.

This is the strangest post.

 

[Loki882]

Seriously, people seem to forget that actors and actresses can, you know, WORK OUT in preparation for a role. What do people think Henry Cavill did in preparation for Superman, or Hugh Jackman for Wolverine, or Christian Bale for Batman, or Antje Traue for Faora, or Chris Hemsworth for Thor, and so on. Just because she's on the thin side NOW does not mean that she won't bulk up for the movie, she almost certainly will. It's not that hard a concept to grasp.

ABSOLUTELY. This.

Trust Snyder.

Actually no, not everyone can. Sometimes it's genetically programmed that people can't gain weight.

 

[Azrael24]

I really think everyone needs to chill out. No one knows what anything is going to look like. Snyder is very good at bringing a comic book characters to life IMO. It could be really good or really bad. I make zero judgements until I actually see film. Depending on how the plot and characters are developed, that makes a huge difference as to who should play what.

A film is not about one or two actors..but the entire production. Never underestimate the power of the Director and especially the Editor. Makes a HUGE difference.

20 lbs of muscle won't be able to save that. Gal is a former super model for christ's sake. I don't think her frame can support that much mass to be honest.

My complaint is valid. I still remember her slow-mo walk in F&F4.

 

[Showtime]

She doesn't have the exact stats that Wonder Woman has in the fictional comic books that I read!

People keep making these posts but no one has said anything to the contrary in like 10 pages
