    Here's hoping this movie is not going to get bogged down by fake controversy.

    Rest assured that if it tanks some people will blame misogynists but without the studio feeding into it those people should be relegated to tumblr and youtube comments, where they belong.

    You gotta be complete moron to be sexist about probably the most iconic female characters in the entire comic book history of comic books. But as you say, people will find a way to make up some bullshit reason to derail this. Sorry if I come off too White Knight on this, but WW is a solid character with a rich history.

    Honestly, when I first saw Gal Gadot cast as WW, I was on the fence. After watching BvS and seeing the little bit of scenes that were with her, especially the fight scenes, I was was sold. I never watched Monster, so I am not familiar with Patty Jenkins' directing style. The only criteria this movie should be judged on (imo) are script, acting and directing. Not subject matter. We shall see how it turns out and can only hope the studio keeps it's mitts off this.

    Well, the idea is if this movie fails people will say it's because guys don't like women heroes. That at least makes sense even if it's not the reason for the failure.

    That argument worked for Ghostbusters because it was a male-lead movie being remade with a female-lead team. Wonder Woman has been a successful female hero for decades; and guess who her fan base is - comic book readers. It will be fantastic to see the loops and hurdles people will go through to classify any WW hate as strictly misogyny.

    You seem to imply logic exists on the internet. It does not.

    So iconic as a feminist that until they retconned it out, the only way for WW to lose her superpowers is if she was bound by a man, and would actually play bondage games with the other women on the island. The creator of WW is/was a kinky motherfucker.

    You are not wrong.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Moulton_Marston

    Dominance produces activity in an antagonistic environment
    Inducement produces activity in a favorable environment
    Submission produces passivity in a favorable environment
    Compliance produces passivity in an antagonistic environment.
    From his psychological work, Marston apparently became convinced that women were more honest than men in certain situations and could work faster and more accurately. During his lifetime, Marston championed the latent abilities and causes of the women of the day.
    The guy was definitely into dominance and submission.

    Marston's "Wonder Woman" is an early example of bondage themes that were entering popular culture in the 1930s.[1] Physical submission appears again and again throughout Marston's comics work, with Wonder Woman and her criminal opponents frequently being tied up or otherwise restrained, and her Amazonian friends engaging in frequent wrestling and bondage play.
    But considering modern audience, this shit will be watered down at best. At worst it won't be even broached.

    I'd love for it to be included though just to watch all the SJW's heads explode in one simultaneous explosion like in the ending of Kingsmen.
