Wonder Woman BANNED in Lebanon because Gal Gadot is Israeli.

Sucks for them.
|
Bet it'll be the most pirated movie of all time in Lebanon

Excited to see this. So excited. Might try to catch it this weekend. Will be hard with my 2 year old daughter with me. Maybe I'll just take her via drive in. I dunno. But I wanna try to catch it.
|
Wonder how it'll do at the box office.
Reviews are great, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people that are not inerested in a superhero movie about a woman. |
Few people I asked at work seem meh. I will see it super early tomorrow though.
|
Reasons differ more to not liking DC movies in general than being about a woman.

Also, lots of kids will pass on that because it's "about a girl". My mom recently bought my nephw a Justice League toy set and what he did was just toss her in the corner saying "Pfff, it's a girl". |
Do you know any adult who passes on movies specifically because of female leads?
|
I do not.
|
I do. Still, doesn't matter, kids make for quite a big part of their audience, don't they?

It's tracking for 90 mil opening weekend. I think people care and it'll do well.
|
I do hope so. For the comic book movi genre if not anything else.

I had not one, but TWO Miss Elizabeth toys (for some reason) when I was a kid, and I didn't throw them in the corner..... they were integral parts of my story.... |
Only I get to call my nephew names.
When I was a kid I didn't want any action figures that were female, asian, black, bald, fat or wearing glasses. |

so nothing like this???? |

Do you mean his shades? Those are not corrective glasses. Also, there were no wrestling toys here. I played wrestling with my G.I. Joes on Domino's Pizza boxes with pens as turnbuckles. But you're right, I wouldn't play with a toy like that, cause of all the pink. |
do you think Wonder Woman sent Chris Pine text messages telling him she wants his ding dong in her butt?

I dunno. I had a few female X-Men and Batman toys. I would have liked Jem action figures rather than strictly dolls sense that was a line I could not cross at the time. A character I liked was a character I liked. It has a lot to do with how they're marketed, I'd agree. When you present something as 'for boys' or 'for girls' kids are susceptible to that. A boy is not gonna want a Ken doll even though by certain people's logic, they would be cause he's a guy. But what matters is the 'play' being given. If Ken had a working rocket launcher Barbie would magically get a boy demo out of nowhere. We've seen this exact thing happen when DC FINALLY offered actual dolls of their female superheroes (not in time to save Young Justice from that early death).
There would absolutely be more girls into Batman merch if there was a Bruce Wayne doll with both a business suit and his batsuit. What really separates boys and girls is the 'play' being offered, not strictly the character itself. |
The hype is legit. This movie is a fucking blast. I was not completely sold on Gadot as Wonder Woman after BvS, but I sure as shit am now. She was awesome. Caotured the spirit of the character perfectly. Villains weren't quite up to some of the more memorable characters in other superhero movies, but they were by no means bad. They're still entertaining in their roles.
Everyone does a great job in this film but Gadot and Chris Pine are so excellent together. Fantastic chemistry. |
Havent seen it but keep hearing Chris Pine steals the show.
|
Too bad he will be dead in any sequel set in modern times

Sure, she was originally created during World War II, but since then as the character and origins have been revamped her origins keep getting pushed to more modern times. She's never even been alive from World War II to present (except the alternate Earth Two version who ceased to exist in 1985). |
The film takes place during World War I.
|
Yeah, I know. Which makes it even stranger, because the character never even existed at all then.
|
I don't know why it's that important tha you guys keep bringing it up.

It's not an issue for me at all, because I don't know jack shit about her history, really.
She could be fighting Vikings if the film was good, for all I care. |
Yeah, it is just "odd". I'm still really looking forward to seeing it.
|
lex luthor also created doomsday in this universe... so why question anything. I'm just sticking with the "world war 1..... m'kay" outlook.
|
Im not that submissive I guess
|
That's just screaming for a porno remake. Especially if they use her whole weakness "having her hands tied by a man".
|
I'm a big fan of the character, and to be honest, I actually like the change to a long lived character. It fits her, and her people very well.
