Kinda sad, the first one was fun at least. The main issue is that it's a Wonder Woman movie in the year 2020, that means it will be filled with useless and cringy political commentary.
The other issue is a more in-depth one. If you have ever read a Wonder Woman comic, you may have realized she doesn't have decent stories, nor cool unique villains. Like no joke, she is incredibly bland in her own comics. I can't think of single storyline that would make a good movie (maybe a terrible one? Like with Amazons Attack haha). I would even argue that her best appearances are in the cartoons, at least the ones from the 90's.
She is entirely a team up character. Justice League is filled with them, like Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter. They are only popular because of being in those books and their solo runs are mostly for show.
Wonder Woman is in the strangest spot of being incredibly popular and forgettable.
She was "the girl" comic book character early on and half a century later we have a picture of where it goes when you throw characters in to appease and appeal but have no meaningful long term plans for them. She was one of the very first, and all avenues were open. Nothing was taken by other characters yet. They're still struggling to make her interesting enough to carry a 2 hour movie.
I didn't hate the new 52 story with her relationship with the other olympians, trying to hide one of zeus' bastards from hera
I was gonna mention the new 52 hahaha, if it succeeded in anything, it was in making Wonder Woman halfway decent. Too bad it never really went anywhere. New 52 is a very contentious subject for comics fans haha
There were a couple of runs under certain writers where she shone, the only one I've read was in relation to Cassie Sandsmarks (Wonder girl) origin but the best Wonder Woman in my mind is "make the most awesome sword and sandal movie/comic/episode you can and stick this superhero in it".
I'd love to see her in Tyr na Nog again. That comic was gorgeous. Batman really wasn't needed either.
Oh no, that sucks! Anyway ...
Considering how much of a woke mess movies have become I almost have to thank them. They're saving me so much money on DVDs, tickets and streaming services.
havent paid for media since the riaa got napster nuked
Fucking Lars Ulrich.
Wife and I were looking at our savings account balance is a lot higher this year. And we still went on a vacation, not a major expensive one, but right now its averaged out about $500 a month extra worth of savings this year. Also helps that we're done with major home improvement projects. We might replace the front door at some point. Will need to do the upstairs flooring in a few years. But siding, roof, HVAC, all those things are done.
Imagine no possessions...
Jesus christ she is beautiful

It's a shop Morty.
This is a no simping site.
Please lay off the soy.
Dude you seriously don't think she's hot?!?!
If she wasn't a psycho leftist then I would agree that she is attractive
Hot? She’s 35 and has two kids. Sure she’s an attractive woman, but I save the term ‘hot’ for women still in their sexual prime. She’s got that ‘lozenge that’s been sucked on” look that women get after their life force has been depleted by childbirth.
She's just a pretty face - nothing more.
in the words of the Critical Drinker: "damn, that pussy must be ridicules"
That's what happens when you have female leads
Eh, the first one was alright, I suspect because it was trying to be a film rather than a lecture that was merely shaped like a film.
The first movie was highly decent right up until it shit the bed at the finish line.
Still a shit film
No kidding.
