pleaaase watch professor marston and the wonder women!! its a movie about the creators of wonder woman/the polygraph and it surprisingly really good! don’t wanna spoil anything but it has some fifty shades vibes 💀
I love when the guy's ashamed that he can't fight and Diana says "But then who will sing for us?" It's really fresh to have a superhero who isn't driven by revenge or anything, she's just really kind and can't stand to see people suffer.
Her naive innocent kindness is such a lovely fun character to watch. It’s the same sort of thing that makes captain America great; they know right from wrong and they do the right thing, and that’s all they need to know
I love how that line was delivered because it would have been so easy to come across as pitying or patronizing. But instead you get the impression that Diana absolutely believes that being able to bring people joy from music and singing is as important as being skilled in battle. It makes sense because while the Amazons were warriors, they were also artists and writers and craftswoman who valued things that bring pleasure to people's lives as much as the ability to take life.
@@tattycakes2k2 yeah a genuine kindness from the character and both capt and wonder woman really take the time to help others in small ways that many other characters don't.
She really IS the best character in the DCU. This film truly blows my mind, it is SO powerful. The message is amazing and the film contains such epic scenes. I just love this film so so much.

The thing that makes this comedy great in this otherwise serious movie is that it's not misplaced, the funny bits and the jokes all feel like things that would actually happen and not done just to check off a box. Like the bit that she goes through the revolving door, it's so ridiculous, but at the same time if you are not used to that sort of thing it's confusing and it will be a mess for you to get through it. Just imagine a child going through one of those for the first time or some native in Africa or South America who has never been outside of their local village.

5:45 -- Diana's emission of divine energy a few moments earlier created a ripple/short-term weakness in the barrier around Themiscyra, which is why the Germans were able to follow Steve to the island vs being misdirected/redirected as the field usually does. (They don't make this clear in the movie as-presented, but is understood relative to different eras of WW in the comics plus behind the scenes notations for the script.) The power, itself, exists within Diana as a demigoddess -- the mythical metal the amazons wield/use allows her to manifest that energy (which she normally can't do as she's "only" a demigoddess vs a full deity like her father, Zeus). It manifests not just when she strikes her vambraces together but also through her shield and sword. (You'll see in future instances how, for example, bullets aren't just deflected by her vambraces as they were in this movie but are actually disintegrated (shattering into nothingness) when she's at her fully awakened power; similarly, when fully awakened, she can use her vambraces often to absorb and redirect energy used against her.)

This film is just incredible on all levels. Even with the rocky third act, it still has enough to pull at your heart strings. Diana and Steve’s relationship is so real and the best couple I’ve ever seen in a superhero movie. Also, I agree with you that looking back most of the DC films were actually really solid. Much more creative compared to the majority of stand-alone MCU films. No shade
Yeah, on my first watch, I thought the 3rd act was really clunky & let down what was an otherwise great film. After watching it a few more times, I’ve come to appreciate it a bit more. I’d probably raise the 3rd act from D+ to a C+/B-. It’s still clunky, but not as bad as I originally felt.
@@MamadNobari No, that's not why they stopped fighting. They said earlier in the movie that the Germans were preparing to surrender.

Also, there was never any "mind control" involved at all. Ares said as much. That he really didn't have to do anything. He was just there waiting & watching for humanity to destroy itself.

It was so cool seeing your reaction and hearing your thoughts about WW during the 2nd act fight. Wonder Woman is my personal favorite hero just because seeing her pulls on so many unexplained heart strings for me lol. DC characters are just as important as marvel characters and can get different feelings out of fans. DC has so much potential for greatness and hopefully they stop falling victim to bad studio decisions.
I had no desire to see this movie and finally did and fell in love with it , SUCH an awesome movie and I LOVE Gal in this, she is SO adorable and insanely beautiful , not many movies where ya say man this actors personality is SO adorable, naive and perfect. Love this! And if u haven’t given it a chance, watch it , it’s SO worth it!
Wonder Woman's one of my favorite comic characters, and I absolutely loved that they did her justice here! Dr. Poison was her first supervillain, and they used her so well here - originally a WW2 character, but fits so well in a WW1 setting.
Btw, in crossover series DC and Marvel, Wonder Woman actually lifted Thor`s hammer. She is one of very few who could actually do that from DC comics (not that everyone from DC tried tho)
I like how this movie, above everything else, didn't oversexualize the amazons; when I saw it for the first time, I was really worried that they would. I appreciate this film for that.
Ok... in the original comics lore, Hippolyta does create Diana using clay/sand with Zeus bringing her to life. It wasn't until much later that they changed the backstory a bit making her father actually being Zeus. Also note: in earlier comics and media such as Super Friends and the Wonder Woman tv show, she did not fly at all. Instead, she used an invisible jet/plane. In later media, they changed it to her actually flying around. Here, it's basically kind of a mix between old and new school stuff.
More correctly, it was Aphrodite who originally brought Diana to life after Hippolyta sculpted her from clay in the original WW mythology (and in the Post Crisis reality, it was the combined efforts of six deities: Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hestia and Hermes, who brought her to life and gifted her with divine powers). It's only in the more recent New52 reality of the past decade that Zeus became Diana's direct father... which, similar to certain other events in this film as well as WW84 has a number of people noting the narrative diluting of the feminist messaging that Diana, as a character, is predicated on... but that's another discussion. In fact, even in the DCEU reality, Zeus didn't animate Diana from clay (that's just a story that Hippolyta told her as a child to placate her/hide her true identity), but actually impregnated Hippolyta as one of his last acts before he perished 5,000 years ago, after using much of his remaining power to enchant the island from outside forces. (Fun Fact: in the original Greek myths from the High Greek Mythic Age, circa 1,600 to 1,100 BCE, it was actually Ares who is attributed as having created the amazons as a weapon to be used against the world of men, to upset his father's world order, and not Zeus nor Aphrodite/the other goddesses being involved with them at all -- that modern version is a retelling (and appropriately so) of their myth in a more contextually credible manner.)
This is WW1. Captain America takes place in WW2. Flying over a target and dropping shit out the side of the plane was pretty much how bomber planes worked in WW1... Chris Pine wasn't just riffing. Air power didn't really become a serious factor until WW2. Good god Gal Gadot is amazing...
Wonder Woman originated as a clay figurine formed by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, who gave her life with god-like powers. In 2011, DC retconned her birth with Zeus, her father, who had slept with her mother. The film here combined both sources.
I believe this Wonder Woman movie forced a lot of superhero movies to step up their game. There is a lot of great nuance in this movie about people and good/evil. It makes for a more interesting and complicated superhero hero flick.
25:10 Sometimes certain comic book films and shows do tend to not really develop certain relationships, but then again others pull it off to a greater extent such as here, with the dynamic between Diana and Steve. One of the best examples of a superhero relationship in media has to be the depiction of Clark Kent and Lois Lane in the tv series Superman & Lois (CW) which has one of the best depictions of the characters and the entire show is rooted in how good their relationship is, you get a great understanding of both their characters, their relationship, their dynamic as both lovers and parents to two teenage boys. It truly is such a wholesome and amazing show that I couldn't recommend it more.
20:22 I know in the comics she can, she is able to speak to animals as a boon given by Artemis (or “Diana” to the Romans), her namesake. She was able to apprehend an illegal hunter and comfort and reconcile a widowed tigress from the loss of her mate.
One of the more interesting things about both Marvel and DC comics is that they really were inspiration comics based around WWII. This Wonder Woman story is based in WWI but she was created in 1941. So most of the central popular superheroes are based around the war. There is so much history behind that fact about who created them and what they represent. The next core group of superheroes were made in the 50s and 60s but they all had connections to the writers and creators that created the comics during WWII. This is interesting seeing someone that has no idea who Wonder Woman is and no clue about how she fits into DC comics storytelling.
Before Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman, Sandra Bullock, Adrienne Palicki, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jessica Biel, Olga Kurylenko, Lucy Lawless, Kate Beckinsale, Mariah Carey, Megan Gale, and Angelina Jolie were considered for the role. Speaking of Wonder Woman, a third film was in production but was cancelled on December 7, 2022, as James Gunn wants to reboot the DC Universe so that the stories would be connected.
Patty Jenkins version of the movie was canceled. Its still happening. Doubt he will reboot the whole thing. Might just keep what worked like he did with TSS
@@lunatic5162 No one really does. We will have to wait and see either next week when he meets with Zaslav or at SDCC/DC Fandome. But I think he wont reboot the whole things cause that'll cost more money than to just continue
According to some sources, Patty Jenkins left the project due to creative differences before James Gunn took over; therefore, he got blamed for the shake-up at DC and WB. I blame the issue on WB not knowing what to do with their DC IP.
David Thewlis played a LOT of villains before playing Lupin. He and Toby Jones are two actors I never trust to be good guys, so the Ares reveal wasn't as big a surprise for me as it should have been. 😂
@@KylaSedai gosh why was my brain typing that, YES! Guess I have braveheart on the mind. “A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His might upholds the weak.”
I can't even express to you what this felt like, as a woman, in theaters. Its not like the best movie ever. The whole second half is kinda eh. But when she came over the top of that trench, I cried buckets. It was a strength without excessive sexiness in a hero I didn't know I needed. She basically told all the men around her "I'm tired of your shit and we're doing this my way" and then positively dominated. It was so important for me after a lifetime of superheroes that just didn't hit the right chord. It was incredible and I'll always remember how empowered it made me feel.
100% feel the exact same way. I remember sitting in the theater, my entire body tense, because I was waiting for Diana to screw up & have to be taught "the way the world works" by the men around her. I thought she was going to try to get across no man's land and it was going to get someone killed, then she'd be taught that her naivety and desire to not compromise when it comes to helping others was a bad thing she had to overcome. I cannot describe the feeling of relief I experienced when the hero music kicked in as she was climbing the ladder and I realized the movie was going to let her have this moment. And keep her sweet way of looking at the world and her burning desire to help people (and animals) who are hurting without the narrative making it a flaw she has to "fix" by buying into cynicism and "realism"
Wonder Woman is the best DCU movie so far and it really makes you love an already loved character even more. Finally on the big screen and they did not disappoint 🔥🔥🔥
Gal Gadot played WW so well! It's so sad to think of her losing Steve but she fought through her hatred and grief to end Aries. she definitely showed us what strength is in not only physicality but the strength to push through trials like that and do what's right!
I liked the end fight scene and Ares was smart l liked that bit where she justs stood and looks at everybody killing each other she understands the truth at that bit
@@biguy617 are you talking about someone else that does not look smart to play Ares cause Ares fooled Diana or someone else that looks smart to play Ares
I think the reason that DC gets so much flack is that they have the Demigod problem. Superman and Wonder Woman are super OP wheres the characters in the MCU are much more relatable. They have fears and ticks in their personality that makes them seem like normal people thrown into abnormal situations. WW is my absolute favorite, and the feeling of watching this in the theatre for the first time is indescribable-especially the no man's land scene. They really did her dirty in WW84, I HATE it.
Seb please watch the legendary DCAU (DC Animated Universe) which is comprised of Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. They are some of the best and most mature superhero and animated content of all time.
4:09 In the movie, Wonder Woman: - shoots arrows like Hawkeye - interrogates and fights like Black Widow - is the child of a pagan god who fights other gods like Thor - is a naive and idealistic hero who charges machine guns behind a shield like Captain America - leaps onto brick walls and smashes like Hulk - absorbs lightning from a god and fits it back at him like Iron Man. WW vs Avengers confirmed?
This was overall a great movie, though the ending was just silly. When wonder woman killed who she thought was a god that caused men to fight, and was confused why the war didn't stop after his death. In that moment our strong but naive to the world hero learned her most shocking lesson, that humans have the capacity for violence in them and it doesn't come from an external god. A really sad and powerful scene to be honest. Aaand 30 seconds later she unlearns that lesson.
Patty Jenkins was given too much control, she needed more input from outside views to balance it. I was just really bugged by the origins of Cheetah being changed so much, but one of the best scenes in the movie was her confronting the harassing guy and that was all Jenkins.
surprised being such superhero fan you didn't know wonder womans back story, paradise island etc;) love your reactions..so much, and how your secure enough to acknowledge the male actors as well as the female.
I highly recommend u start reacting to the DC animated universe, its crazy amazing and it contatins the best movies DC has to offer. So u can start with “Batman: under the red hood” or “Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox”. The first two in the timeline.
I love how they made all of the movies animated (besides BVS) then made them live action a few years later but not as good. Animated universe is the best of DCEU to me.
I think this movie is great, it's a time piece film with superheroes and it actually took the time to flesh out Diana in the world of men and allowed a lot of small moments between characters that were both funny and emotional. IMO the only bad part of the movie is the very end fight with Ares because their powers are so weird and inconsistent, it was still cool and Ares' armour looked just like his comic armour which was rad.
Okay Seb. The Doctor Who references...🤌🏽🤌🏽 Also she's a God herself and is a daughter of Zeus. So her controlling lightning like her father makes sense.
i am a marvel fan and have seen only this movie and justice league (both of them) and out of all superheroes, wonder women's theme is the best! when diana saved all the schoop children and the teacher's in the museum and the theme plays. uhhhh! so good
This is such a good movie. My mom, a friend and I saw this in theaters and we loved it so much we went a second time. We have never done this before for any movie. The second time was the best, it was a smaller audience and they had so much fun. We had a row of young men behind us and they were loving the movie and had the best laughs. I cannot think of a better time we had in the theaters. We love Steve his speech!!! And I cried so hard when he died😭😭 Fun fact, it would appear to be better for a woman to orgasme during sex if she want to get pregant. It helps the changes be better then no orgasme. Here in the Netherlands we know alot about WW1 and 2, every year we remember. I have family here that fought or kept people in hiding, like my great grandfather. On my fathers side, the war in Indonesia is also very well known to me. My great grandfather was a prisioner of the Japanese. He was serverly tortured. My great grandmother and Grandmother where also there. My Grandfather fought with KNIL. They were giving a choice to go to the Netherlands or stay. But it was not save for a lot of people after the war there. It is a very long story from 2 parts off the world. I am very proud to part of a very brave and strong family❤️
Loved Wonder Woman really good film didn’t understand why people didn’t like this even though I didn’t see this theaters watching this at home was still really good❤
One of the greatest things, which this film did, is showing an image of First world war, that is not an often thing, because the most history wae movies tell stories about WW2
Best dceu movie. This and Shazam. And then they just let me down with 1984, cheetah is ww's lex luthor equivalent. So it was really disappointing how they decided to show the reason she hates Diana is because of a dude. Fun Fact, WW strength is actually up par with Supes and she defeated him in the comics. She's literally a female equivalent
Funny how much Hate Zack Snyder received for picking Gal Gadot. Actually he received hate for everything he does. Which is both weird and sad cuz he lives here in Pasadena California and every time I run into him he is the most gracious and polite. He’s a good dude
1st of all that whole clay thing the mother said was the equivalent of the stork story some people tell their kids. 2nd pine wasn't scrambling in the drowning seen because he was losing consciousnes DUH!

@@thequirksofbeingme I immediately thought "hey that's not true i have even seen a doctor were a fez with style"
Ok... in the original comics lore, Hippolyta does create Diana using clay/sand with Zeus bringing her to life. It wasn't until much later that they changed the backstory a bit making her father actually being Zeus. Also note: in earlier comics and media such as Super Friends and the Wonder Woman tv show, she did not fly at all. Instead, she used an invisible jet/plane.
In later media, they changed it to her actually flying around. Here, it's basically kind of a mix between old and new school stuff.
I actually enjoy both of her origins, I kind of get why they decided to change it and modernise it a bit, away from the clay thing though.
More correctly, it was Aphrodite who originally brought Diana to life after Hippolyta sculpted her from clay in the original WW mythology (and in the Post Crisis reality, it was the combined efforts of six deities: Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter, Hestia and Hermes, who brought her to life and gifted her with divine powers). It's only in the more recent New52 reality of the past decade that Zeus became Diana's direct father... which, similar to certain other events in this film as well as WW84 has a number of people noting the narrative diluting of the feminist messaging that Diana, as a character, is predicated on... but that's another discussion.
In fact, even in the DCEU reality, Zeus didn't animate Diana from clay (that's just a story that Hippolyta told her as a child to placate her/hide her true identity), but actually impregnated Hippolyta as one of his last acts before he perished 5,000 years ago, after using much of his remaining power to enchant the island from outside forces. (Fun Fact: in the original Greek myths from the High Greek Mythic Age, circa 1,600 to 1,100 BCE, it was actually Ares who is attributed as having created the amazons as a weapon to be used against the world of men, to upset his father's world order, and not Zeus nor Aphrodite/the other goddesses being involved with them at all -- that modern version is a retelling (and appropriately so) of their myth in a more contextually credible manner.)
This is WW1. Captain America takes place in WW2.
Flying over a target and dropping shit out the side of the plane was pretty much how bomber planes worked in WW1... Chris Pine wasn't just riffing. Air power didn't really become a serious factor until WW2.
Good god Gal Gadot is amazing...
20:23 what makes this funnier is that yes she can speak to animals in the comics
Loving the doctor who references, that episode scared me so much when I was younger with all those gas masks growing out of people’s mouths
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. I grew up with the TV show & I absolutely LOVE what Patty Jackson did with this origin story
Wonder Woman originated as a clay figurine formed by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, who gave her life with god-like powers. In 2011, DC retconned her birth with Zeus, her father, who had slept with her mother. The film here combined both sources.
I believe this Wonder Woman movie forced a lot of superhero movies to step up their game. There is a lot of great nuance in this movie about people and good/evil. It makes for a more interesting and complicated superhero hero flick.
"Are you my mummy" ahhh the doctor who reference 🙌🏻👌🏻
25:10 Sometimes certain comic book films and shows do tend to not really develop certain relationships, but then again others pull it off to a greater extent such as here, with the dynamic between Diana and Steve.
One of the best examples of a superhero relationship in media has to be the depiction of Clark Kent and Lois Lane in the tv series Superman & Lois (CW) which has one of the best depictions of the characters and the entire show is rooted in how good their relationship is, you get a great understanding of both their characters, their relationship, their dynamic as both lovers and parents to two teenage boys. It truly is such a wholesome and amazing show that I couldn't recommend it more.
20:22 I know in the comics she can, she is able to speak to animals as a boon given by Artemis (or “Diana” to the Romans), her namesake. She was able to apprehend an illegal hunter and comfort and reconcile a widowed tigress from the loss of her mate.
“Are you my mummy?” Back at it again with the Doctor Who references ❤️❤️➕🟦
One of the more interesting things about both Marvel and DC comics is that they really were inspiration comics based around WWII. This Wonder Woman story is based in WWI but she was created in 1941. So most of the central popular superheroes are based around the war. There is so much history behind that fact about who created them and what they represent. The next core group of superheroes were made in the 50s and 60s but they all had connections to the writers and creators that created the comics during WWII. This is interesting seeing someone that has no idea who Wonder Woman is and no clue about how she fits into DC comics storytelling.
I like the decision to place this film in WWI so it didn’t feel so much like Captain America.
Before Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman, Sandra Bullock, Adrienne Palicki, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jessica Biel, Olga Kurylenko, Lucy Lawless, Kate Beckinsale, Mariah Carey, Megan Gale, and Angelina Jolie were considered for the role. Speaking of Wonder Woman, a third film was in production but was cancelled on December 7, 2022, as James Gunn wants to reboot the DC Universe so that the stories would be connected.
Patty Jenkins version of the movie was canceled. Its still happening. Doubt he will reboot the whole thing. Might just keep what worked like he did with TSS
What James is doing even, I really don`t understand
@@lunatic5162 No one really does. We will have to wait and see either next week when he meets with Zaslav or at SDCC/DC Fandome. But I think he wont reboot the whole things cause that'll cost more money than to just continue
According to some sources, Patty Jenkins left the project due to creative differences before James Gunn took over; therefore, he got blamed for the shake-up at DC and WB. I blame the issue on WB not knowing what to do with their DC IP.
Who's dumbass idea was Mariah Carey?
Wonder woman has always been my favourite "Superhero"
I literally started crying when that soundtrack came on 😂😅
My favorite bit of movie trivia: in the no man's land scene the German tactics are historically accurate, if Diana was a tank
Love Wonder Woman. I wish the last battle was better but was decent enough.
Well if patty jenkins had her own way there would be no final battle, the studio made her put it in the movie
@@marklola12 I would love to watch her Vision as a director.
After WW'84 I do not trust her judgement any more. She needs a solid writing team behind her. She had that here, but not for the sequel.
this is one of the best female superhero movies!!
One of the best superhero movies overall
actually its the best female superhero movie
David Thewlis played a LOT of villains before playing Lupin. He and Toby Jones are two actors I never trust to be good guys, so the Ares reveal wasn't as big a surprise for me as it should have been. 😂
I always hark back to dragonheart when I see him.
@@Hellohellonada Dragonheart?
@@KylaSedai gosh why was my brain typing that, YES! Guess I have braveheart on the mind. “A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His might upholds the weak.”

Credits roll 😂
I can't even express to you what this felt like, as a woman, in theaters. Its not like the best movie ever. The whole second half is kinda eh. But when she came over the top of that trench, I cried buckets. It was a strength without excessive sexiness in a hero I didn't know I needed. She basically told all the men around her "I'm tired of your shit and we're doing this my way" and then positively dominated. It was so important for me after a lifetime of superheroes that just didn't hit the right chord. It was incredible and I'll always remember how empowered it made me feel.
100% feel the exact same way. I remember sitting in the theater, my entire body tense, because I was waiting for Diana to screw up & have to be taught "the way the world works" by the men around her. I thought she was going to try to get across no man's land and it was going to get someone killed, then she'd be taught that her naivety and desire to not compromise when it comes to helping others was a bad thing she had to overcome. I cannot describe the feeling of relief I experienced when the hero music kicked in as she was climbing the ladder and I realized the movie was going to let her have this moment. And keep her sweet way of looking at the world and her burning desire to help people (and animals) who are hurting without the narrative making it a flaw she has to "fix" by buying into cynicism and "realism"
Within 5 minutes of her appearing on screen, I was completely in love with Gal Gadot..
Wonder Woman is the best DCU movie so far and it really makes you love an already loved character even more. Finally on the big screen and they did not disappoint 🔥🔥🔥
corection DCEU
Such a fun film! The characters are likeable and it has a very playful vibe.
Gal Gadot played WW so well! It's so sad to think of her losing Steve but she fought through her hatred and grief to end Aries. she definitely showed us what strength is in not only physicality but the strength to push through trials like that and do what's right!
Ares
I liked the end fight scene and Ares was smart l liked that bit where she justs stood and looks at everybody killing each other she understands the truth at that bit
I wish they cast someone else as Ares.
@@biguy617 are you talking about someone else that does not look smart to play Ares cause Ares fooled Diana or someone else that looks smart to play Ares
@@jamesmeechan6983 maybe he fits for the movie. It is just that Ares was done better in the JLU animated series and in the Xena series.
@@biguy617 it was s very good Ares in Xena yeah l agree with you on that
8:07 never thought I would hear that line again. (Doctor Who)
“just wait, give me 2 drinks” bro😳📸
This was really great. Gal is awesome
WW's aunt is Jenny from Forrest Gump.
I've read that the ice cream cone scene was in the original comic book.
It's in multiple iterations. Including in WW animated movie and JLU.
No Man’s Land scene 😮💨
That is all.
This film was so good that I don’t even talk about the second one 🙃
This is the movie my fiance and I watched on our first date. I love this movie.
I think the reason that DC gets so much flack is that they have the Demigod problem. Superman and Wonder Woman are super OP wheres the characters in the MCU are much more relatable. They have fears and ticks in their personality that makes them seem like normal people thrown into abnormal situations.
WW is my absolute favorite, and the feeling of watching this in the theatre for the first time is indescribable-especially the no man's land scene.
They really did her dirty in WW84, I HATE it.
Seb please watch the legendary DCAU (DC Animated Universe) which is comprised of Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. They are some of the best and most mature superhero and animated content of all time.
They can control their dad's lightning
To think the old man Ares wasn't at his 100%
3:28 Emily as young Diana, also as young Alicent Hightower in HOTD.
4:09 In the movie, Wonder Woman:
- shoots arrows like Hawkeye
- interrogates and fights like Black Widow
- is the child of a pagan god who fights other gods like Thor
- is a naive and idealistic hero who charges machine guns behind a shield like Captain America
- leaps onto brick walls and smashes like Hulk
- absorbs lightning from a god and fits it back at him like Iron Man.
WW vs Avengers confirmed?
This was overall a great movie, though the ending was just silly. When wonder woman killed who she thought was a god that caused men to fight, and was confused why the war didn't stop after his death. In that moment our strong but naive to the world hero learned her most shocking lesson, that humans have the capacity for violence in them and it doesn't come from an external god. A really sad and powerful scene to be honest. Aaand 30 seconds later she unlearns that lesson.
Definitely one of the best DC movies so far. It still boggles the mind how they managed to bungle the sequel so badly.
Patty Jenkins was given too much control, she needed more input from outside views to balance it. I was just really bugged by the origins of Cheetah being changed so much, but one of the best scenes in the movie was her confronting the harassing guy and that was all Jenkins.
@@Hellohellonada I'm really hoping that James Gunn does for DC what Kevin Feige has done for Marvel.
surprised being such superhero fan you didn't know wonder womans back story, paradise island etc;) love your reactions..so much, and how your secure enough to acknowledge the male actors as well as the female.
“are you my mummy” HAHAHA YES I say that every time I see a gas mask in a movie or show lol
Go.To.Your. ROOM!
My favourite thing about this film is that my friend’s old army trucks is in this, I always try to spot it 😂
It’s at 31:53
Yessss...finally...this finna be lit😻😻hey Seb
I highly recommend u start reacting to the DC animated universe, its crazy amazing and it contatins the best movies DC has to offer. So u can start with “Batman: under the red hood” or “Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox”. The first two in the timeline.
Wonder Woman animated is actually the start of this line I think.
I love how they made all of the movies animated (besides BVS) then made them live action a few years later but not as good. Animated universe is the best of DCEU to me.
I think this movie is great, it's a time piece film with superheroes and it actually took the time to flesh out Diana in the world of men and allowed a lot of small moments between characters that were both funny and emotional. IMO the only bad part of the movie is the very end fight with Ares because their powers are so weird and inconsistent, it was still cool and Ares' armour looked just like his comic armour which was rad.
Fun fact. The part with the ice cream is taken pretty much verbatim from one of the Justice League animated movies (I think it was WAR).
I love Wonder Woman so much. I remember watching this movie at least once a week for years growing up, she raised me.
Zeus is Ares's father, that's why he's got lightning. (I mean it doesn't explain why, but that's why.)
My favorite fan theory out of this is that Dr. Poison goes on to invent the Venom that Bane would use.
0:06 love you Sebscreen first one here ❤
Okay Seb. The Doctor Who references...🤌🏽🤌🏽
Also she's a God herself and is a daughter of Zeus. So her controlling lightning like her father makes sense.
i am a marvel fan and have seen only this movie and justice league (both of them)
and out of all superheroes, wonder women's theme is the best!
when diana saved all the schoop children and the teacher's in the museum and the theme plays. uhhhh! so good
Wonder Woman is basically on Superman’s level. She would easily kill Captain America
This is such a good movie. My mom, a friend and I saw this in theaters and we loved it so much we went a second time. We have never done this before for any movie. The second time was the best, it was a smaller audience and they had so much fun. We had a row of young men behind us and they were loving the movie and had the best laughs. I cannot think of a better time we had in the theaters. We love Steve his speech!!! And I cried so hard when he died😭😭
Fun fact, it would appear to be better for a woman to orgasme during sex if she want to get pregant. It helps the changes be better then no orgasme.
Here in the Netherlands we know alot about WW1 and 2, every year we remember. I have family here that fought or kept people in hiding, like my great grandfather. On my fathers side, the war in Indonesia is also very well known to me. My great grandfather was a prisioner of the Japanese. He was serverly tortured. My great grandmother and Grandmother where also there. My Grandfather fought with KNIL. They were giving a choice to go to the Netherlands or stay. But it was not save for a lot of people after the war there. It is a very long story from 2 parts off the world. I am very proud to part of a very brave and strong family❤️
I LOVE HER
Did he really forget that their children of Zeus that’s why both can control lightning their brother and sister 😂😂
Loved Wonder Woman really good film didn’t understand why people didn’t like this even though I didn’t see this theaters watching this at home was still really good❤
I was so excited for this! i knew you'd appreciate how badass the Amazons are
One of the greatest things, which this film did, is showing an image of First world war, that is not an often thing, because the most history wae movies tell stories about WW2
This is probably the best DC film so far.
18:46 I instantly knew that it was spud from Trainspotting just by looking at his facial expression 😂
Best dceu movie. This and Shazam. And then they just let me down with 1984, cheetah is ww's lex luthor equivalent. So it was really disappointing how they decided to show the reason she hates Diana is because of a dude.
Fun Fact, WW strength is actually up par with Supes and she defeated him in the comics. She's literally a female equivalent
suddle hint of who. love it
Funny how much Hate Zack Snyder received for picking Gal Gadot. Actually he received hate for everything he does. Which is both weird and sad cuz he lives here in Pasadena California and every time I run into him he is the most gracious and polite. He’s a good dude
1st of all that whole clay thing the mother said was the equivalent of the stork story some people tell their kids. 2nd pine wasn't scrambling in the drowning seen because he was losing consciousnes DUH!
This movie is sooooo good
Nice Doctor Who reference 🤣
After Zack Snyder's Justice League it makes sense why the Aquaman man solo comes out after and also explains the Cyborg part
The Island is in an area where shipping is treacherous and there are no shipping lanes.
3:32 Alicent Hightower still being fiesty🤣
Loved this film!!
3:32 Is this young Alicent Hightower?
When I was a kid, Greek myths were what comics are to most kids. 2:55
It's funny that you think that they should've dropped solo outings for each member before a team-up...while wearing a Wu-Tang shirt lol
"are you my mummy" bruh... memory unlucked LMAO
