I don't get how I'm being sentimental. I started out with 80s action classics. So I know when violence is being glorified. Someone killed a family member, kill them and everyone affiliated with them. Someone slapped your sister, kill them all. Someone looked at your wife funny, kill them all. Someone killed your dog, kill them all.
The aim of Wonder Woman's violence was more for liberation than vengeance. Remember, she thought if she defeated Ares, then his soldiers would be free from his influence. And I think there was a scene where she expressed concern for the "minions" she had to battle. At the end, she discovered it wasn't a hypnotic influence, as much as it was a facet of man's personality. How's that sentimental?

You're still being sentimental. You're giving her more due than she deserved. If you can shed your cloak of sentimentality for a sec, you'd see that Wonder Woman is nothing but a petulant woman, that acts impulsively like a child, and also seems to lack the level of critical thinking one would expect of a metahuman that underwent Spartan training on steroids.

At the highlighted, it's easy enough to liberate mankind when there were no strong and persistent antagonistic presence in the whole script. Just saying.

even steppenwolf had the same issue.it took the olympian gods,green lantern corps,atlateans,amazons to defeat him yet he could not even do serious damage to diana


Exactly. She's perpetually cloaked in plot armor/plot conveniences.

Contradictory. Your 2nd highlighted contradicted the first, and goes further to consolidate my postulation.

Not contradictory.

Unless if you think that availability of a feminine superhero costume for girls is feminism?

You said yourself she's giving young girls fairy tale ideas. The truth is women can never be men's equal in terms of physical prowess.

But she was brought up to believe myths and legends were real, some of which actually are. You could liken her to the average Nigerian who believes the source of their misfortune is a relative in the village, because that's the information they were exposed to.
Wonder Woman reacted according to the teachings and lore she had been raised to believe. But by the end of the movie, she had shaded that naivety

Wait, Are movies real? Aren't they fairy tales?

Ok, when you were young and you watched Superhero movies.

Did you become Spiderman?

Batman? etc?

What i am saying is, boys can dress up like Batman, Iron man, spiderman etc. Is it always the issue of feminism when young girls can also dress like WW, Captain Marvel?
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by MobileGees: 4:05pm On Sep 28, 2018
Wonder Woman was a trash movie, and relied much too heavily on cliches, to the point where nothing felt original or new. It's just an overhyped garbage like Black panther.angry



The fight scenes was even worse, it's just looks like a PS3 video game cutscene

Poor editing
Poor Action Scenes
Poor Directing
Poor acting

Yeah, but harm has already been done. If the film has another tangible message apart from the feminism ish, it must have gotten lost in the cloudy muck of a weak script, cuz for the life of me, I can't find it.

You may have chosen to see differently, because to your strong bias to DC and your obvious infatuation to Gal Gadot. She's hot, so I don't blame you.

Nah, you're missing the point. It's never about wearing of superhero costumes, rather, the political and social message behind every superhero film.

Remember you said, and I quote,

Isn't it nice to have young girls to also wish they have WW strength, abilities and beauty?

If that's the only thing young girls were able to glean from the whole film, then it validates my point. You and Kaycee said no feminism BS, yet your quote says otherwise.

It also shows that you bought into the delusional feminism Woman Woman is slinging. A form of feminism that convinces some women that they can match and surpass the opposite sex in physical prowess, which is total BS, and wrong.

You're on to something. It's all a matter of POV, really. That's why I will always stress that good and evil don't really exist in the ways we want them to, they are merely a subject/theme/motif/content in your perception of morality.

Hitler by starting a world war strengthened an ailing German economy. I'm pretty sure he saw himself as the good guy, and the allied forces as the bad guys, pretty much like the American South fought to keep their slaves, because their entire livelihood and economy depended on their cotton plantations, tended to by their slaves. No slaves, no cotton, no profit. Poverty. Death.

Thanos felt the same way. Doesn't infer he's a good or bad guy, rather, just another guy with an ideal, but with enough power to actually do something about it.

Inasmuch as your comment pleases me, I've to remain objective. Wonder Woman is not trash. It falls within the categories of "serviceable" and "okay".

No more than I can blame you for drooling over Scarlet Johansson.

I still maintain that there was no feminist BS in Wonder Woman. Any rational thinking female being inspired that the average woman can match the physical strength of the average man, from a comic book movie probably believes that a spider bite will give arachnid-like abilities.

Believe it or not, there are such women out there. They actually believe whatever men can do, they can do it better. Remember Rhonda Rousey? She used to be one of those women, until Holly Holm (another woman) brought her back from fantasy.

PS: Everyone loves Scarlett.

No wonder Ronda decamped to WWE where she's given scripts that have her tossing Triple H around. Did she really want an intergender MMA match? Some people got a death wish. Anyway, like I said, no rational thinking woman.

Oh, and everybody loves Gal. tongue

I wish this thread could go back to when you can give your opinion about a movie without being overly scrutinized. Tired of scrolling through over stretched argument about old movies.. pleasssssss stop the arguments and give us a simple review about a movie you have seen recently without being dramatic. If you hate a movie, you shouldn't expect everyone to feel the same way.

It's a forum, you whiny imbeciles. You want reviews? IMDB, Metacritic & Rotten Tomatoes got you covered. It's not like this is even exclusively a review thread. If we're to stick strictly to the topic, we'd just drop titles and keep quiet. Malaka!

I kinda wish the match took place. Would have loved to see Floyd knock her out in under 5 secs. That'd teach her. Holly Holm embarrassed the hell out of her though, so it's still a happy ending, I guess. Not the one I wished for, but it will do.

You're right tho. I like Gal. Too bad she got snagged by DCEU. She would have made a great female MCU superhero. embarassed

Heard of the female Thor thingy, Wont make sense. But thoroughly enjoyed Wonder Woman grin cheesy Watched thrice sef.

The success of Wonder woman is the reason why marvel and DC want to push more female superhero characters.

The female Thor doesn't look bad though. Her comic version looks sexy. grin
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by TheKingIsHere: 7:33pm On Sep 28, 2018
MJBOLT:
then the end of the MCU is near

Not yet.

Throwing out female flip flop characters won't end marvel. This they want to prove with captain marvel movie. Once they succeed, it is a signal that more female superhero characters taking over their male counterparts will emerge.

What will kill marvel and DC is their planned change of sexual orientation of some superhero characters by making them gay.

DclC once made a flash that was gay and marvel made a spiderman that was gay.

If they released such characters in film, then that will be their end.

Mehn! The movie was just there, alot of people talking tough but nothing. Was hoping for some real action, but at the end it just reminded me why I prefer watching series. Because it's hard to find a good movie, and each wrong choice is painful because of the amount of Data wasted in downloading them.

I went through some stress downloading the movie but unfortunately after reaching 35minutes into the film, it jump straight to 1hour 10mins of the film, so I am lost as I missed about 40minutes of the movie.

Will try to download another version tomorrow and then I will be able to share my thoughts.
