BvS Gal Gadot IS Wonder Woman! - - - Part 15

[Micromind]

Keep the Greek mythology and supernatural elements intact, no need to apply "Unified Kryptonian origin theory" to DC's supernatural characters.

Having a DCU where everyone has to have a Kryptonian connection is like throwing a party where all the guests are insurance salesmen.

I love this manip of Gal:

Why is everyone still going on about the Kryptonian Amazon thing. The guy who brought it up said it was his own theory after it blew up

 

[Winter Soldier]

What? I am not saying they have to be. I am just saying that the idea is pretty cool, imo. and I am explaining that they wound not be technically Krytonian, since atlantians have evolve to adapt under the sea.

It is a cool idea, because it takes a seed planted in the first film and goes somewhere with it.

It also ties everything together and adds a logic behind this new super-powered character introduced. A logic that general audiences can follow, who aren't familiar with the character's comic clay origins. This is a film trilogy that began with a Superman-centric film and introduced audiences to all those concepts. It would be convoluted to veer away from all that and suddenly bring magic and the clay origins of WW into the loop. They might as well use the seeds they planted for Superman's origin in MoS to be the groundwork for WW and AM.

Throwing magic and the supernatural into BvS is too much. It could perhaps work in a WW solo film that focuses on it, but that isn't on the table anytime soon.

I liked how Thor presented the Asgardians as 'aliens' by human perception. That worked.


Comics shouldn't be translated onto film. They are two different mediums. The best filmmakers can take elements from the comics, reinterpret them, and make them work within the context of their existing universe on film.


I'm all up for change and reinterpretation on film, if it works onscreen and is logical. It's the comic fanboys that can't let go of their precious comicbook continuity (even though that, in itself, is always up for reinterpretation and reinvention). The comic fanboys are a tiny portion of this film's audience, and the general public doesn't know that WW was crafted by clay and brought to life by the Greek gods.

No it's not cool. Diana should have nothing to do with Krypton. She should be sent out by her Mother in response to Superman. If it turns out she is Kryptonian then it will seem contrived from a story telling aspect and it will eliminate Wonder Woman's own mythology.

Dawn of Justice needs to be about the worlds reaction to this god like alien being. That includes already present superheroes like Batman and Wonder Woman.

Her own comicbook mythology you mean. Diana can still have her own mythology on film, even if the Amazons are distant offshoots of the Kryptonians.

The science and discoveries that the secluded Amazon race discovered over the centuries are so advanced that they could be perceived as 'magic' by humans.

It's just a more logical and grounded way to introduce the character within the context they've set up in this MoS trilogy.

Introducing Zeus and the Greek gods, and magic in BvS and JL would be a major paradigm shift from the direction they set up in MoS.


I love the idea that the mythology of the Greek gods was based upon actual Kryptonians once existing in human society centuries ago. It's quite fascinating.

Your very good. Can I repost those pictures? Also you should put your name on it.

 

[LamboMan]

Thanks mate, cheers!

 

[theOVOXO]

That's really good.

Clap clap clap.

Looks so much better than busy Hoplite armor.

Thanks a lot to all above and all herein.

The science and discoveries that the secluded Amazon race discovered over the centuries are so advanced that they could be perceived as 'magic' by humans.

I'm pretty sure that the "tech is so advanced that it looks like magic to humans" was already used for the thor movies.

Just because the only super powered beings that were established in man of steel were the kryptonians doesn't mean that the entire dc cinematic universe should be based around them. if the only mcu movie that you seen was iron man, you probably wouldn't expect other characters like thor or doctor strange to exist in the same universe and still have their abilities connected to some kind of magic.

It's quite awful, actually. It's like turning Wonder Woman into a Superman spin-off franchise. It ****ing sucks.

Introducing Zeus and the Greek gods, and magic in BvS and JL would be a major paradigm shift from the direction they set up in MoS.

 

[Guts]

One thing from the comics that I would like to see in this movie or the justice league, is her magic sword from kingdom come.

Wow, thanks alot. You have done a Supermans job Sir!

Not looking for a verbal fight to the death or something (I think badgrammar isn't either) but I think the main reason why the whole Kryptonian ancestry thing would be appealing and is brought up time and again (just for some things in the MoS DCCU including Wonder Woman and certainly not everything) is because some people (obviously the minority here) don't find the

And, like mentioned, it would tie in nicely with the events of the MoS prequel comic, if (big IF) the Kara Zor-El stranded on Earth 18.000 years ago-timeline is indeed considered canon.

Carry on.

I agree with that point - the whole WW story DOES seem out of sorts with this realistic MoS universe. They could present it in a believable way and it wouldn't be an issue, but personally I find the story of Superman far more 'believable' than WW. Because of the type of movie MoS was, it may seem odd to have this incredible reaction to Superman, this super powered alien thing that no one can even comprehend, and then have more and more superheroes popping up all over the place like it's normal in the next few films. I don't know, it will be really interesting to see the direction Snyder goes in with this!

 

[Winter Soldier]

We do know Kryptonians arriving on Earth centuries ago is in film canon.

We have the ship in ancient scout ship in MoS to prove that.

 

[LamboMan]

Wow, thanks alot. You have done a Supermans job Sir!

Haha, thanks a lot for the appreciation!

[KRYPTON INC.]

The ship that landed on Earth had a dead crew and if you take the tie in comic as canon, one survivor. That's as far as seeds go. Also, how is going into precisely how the Amazons or Atlanteans or whomever are some kind of Kryptonian off shoot any more or less convoluted than the traditional story? How does any screen time devoted to that be less than what might be alloted to explaining Greek Gods and magic? Finally, why is it a bad thing to have variety in a fictional super hero universe in live action?

 

[Guts]

Everyone cites the prequel comic as a source that there is one survivor of the scout ship. but what about the fact that Thanagarians already exist in this cinematic universe.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

The idea that the audience somehow WON'T accept a film universe where fantasy sci fi and fantasy magic exist side by side is flawed and is disproven by quite a few popular franchises that have been on the big screen and television. So as Mr. Brown might say, "Sell that excriment to the tourists."
