My gut is starting to tell me the majority of Wonder Woman v Cheetah is going to be a CGI fest shot in the dark to purposely hide the effects. The overall character design I'm not fond of either, but I could live with it if the imagery was clearer.
She also seems too reminiscent of Electro from Amazing Spider-man and Riddler from Batman Forever, with a nerdy fan of the hero becoming the enemy when they feel slighted and ignored by the hero.
Having duly considered it, I think Wiig has given the best DCEU villain performance to date.
I appreciate Barbara actually stayed on Diana’s side until their goals became in conflict.
I know this was basically Barbara with a splash of Priscilla thrown in but I think they should have held Cheetah for the sequel.
This might have been the first time where I REALLY didn’t want the inevitable villain character to become a villain because I enjoyed her friendship (and possibly more?) with Diana. Obviously I knew where it was going but I was rooting for Barbara throughout until the end.

It is kind of weird how that one scene halfway through the film was meant to indicate how ominous she was becoming, but I was still totally rooting for her against that creep.
i agree. it is nice to see that the two of them grew to become very good friends in real life, so i think that's why their friendship felt more geniune

I kind of felt that way about Erik/Magneto in X-Men: First Class. To me at least Fassbender made him such a compelling anti-hero that I wanted him to choose the better path and work with Charles even knowing he wasn’t going to.
