This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]342362[/split]
We're all pretty much aware of the negativity towards this. I want it to do well, but I still don't know what tone they are going for. Anyway, WW has been shaken up a lot lately, and with the new costumes in the comics and the TV show there has been a lot of negative reaction.
What I am most concerned about is that if this fails at TV level it all but destroys any chance of a Wonder Woman feature film for the next 20 years--easily.![]()
Well, like they always say...if it ain't broke....![]()
I think WW had been broken for a loooooong time. Why? Because the Comic books sales... Remind me... how many copies Wonder Woman's comics has been sold, compared to other big names super heroes comic books?
Have you ever consider the possibility her suit is one of the reason for the franchise sales?
I bet you(and ,most of her fans) didn't...
Just to be clear... I'm not saying the planned Suit for the TV show we saw is great. But, i do think it's better then her classic suit. Sure it could have been better - much better.
Some of the Wonder Woman stories in the comics have been brilliant and in my opinion a lot better than the other books at the time. Both George Perez and Greg Rucka's run has been phenomenal, to say otherwise is just being arrogant, which I know a lot of comic fans are.
I admitt i'm not a big reader of Wonder Woman(or comic in general) but maybe it's a plus... Because i'm more open minded about changes in the character.
I read about the character, some of the comics she appeared in, saw the Lynda Carter's "Wonder Woman". some Animted movies/serieses with her(including the 2009 Animated "Wonder Woman") and... IMO The classic WW suit is something that has to be changed. The suits for the TV show and the corrent Wonder Woman run is much better then her classic suit and much more respectful to the character IMO, And this is what i rtied to say in my previous post.
I think ever since "Who Is Wonder Woman" it got a bit spotty. "The Circle" was Simone's best work imo, I kind of lost interest around "Rise of the Olympians".
JMS seemed to be used to create a big "event" to appeal to a new crowd, or young people (like Superman: Earth One). It's like with the creation of DCE and this TV show, it's trying to be all modern and very commercial. That doesn't necessarily mean it's as good as Rucka or Perez's runs.
There are always complaints about the star-spangled panties but I think they need to strike a balance when wanting to update elements of it by not changing it too much, not going to the other extreme, and keeping what works.

This logic is so arrogant and flawed. "You complain about the character, you are not a fan."
Why cant one do both? Besides, if there is such an outcry against her costume when there isnt one for other characters shouldnt that be an indication of its bad appeal to the readers?
