FerroAxel7 237 Posted November 25, 2014 Michelle Maclaren from Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones is set to direct the June 23, 2017 Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot. This news is very exciting to me because Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones are both epic shows with cinematic effects. Her experience directing these shows definitely makes me feel comfortable with the WW movie in her hands. Excellent choice, Warner Bros! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh great, now WW is going to cook up some meth, get naked, then have her head chopped of. Nice. JK, I know there's more than that to those shows.

WonderHeroe 32 Posted November 25, 2014 I've never watched the shows but I've seen the hype/fans that revolve around them. Either way I'm excited for this WW movie-- just need Gatot to beef up a liiittle bit more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a meth lab beneath Themyscria (her home world) won't be such a bad idea 8) On 11/25/2014 at 3:01 AM, WonderHeroe said: I've never watched the shows but I've seen the hype/fans that revolve around them.

Exactly. I'm not sure where people got this idea that Wonder Woman was super buff, because she's never been drawn that way. Like with most female superheroes, she's basically just drawn to be hot, with arms that are only slightly above skinny. SPOILERS: Click to reveal SPOILERS: Click to reveal Maybe it's just me, but I think Gal Gadot's on about comparable terms with how she's usually represented. Yes, I know, there are some depictions of her where she's got huge-as-firetruck arms, but generally, she's drawn about like that. My biggest concern is more Gadot's acting, which is just kind of 'eh' to me. Edited November 25, 2014 by Kaweebo 1 FerroAxel7 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really hope the casting directors were blown away by her audition because she looks the part, but that won't be enough for a stand alone WW film. http://league.jmkprime.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Justice-League-Savage-Time-Part-Two-16.jpg ^ My favorite adaptation of Wonder Woman.

But yeah, Gal Gadot's 'best scene' in Fast & Furious was just her taking off a towel and showing off her skinny, not that impressive body. 'Never send a man to do a woman's job.' Yeah, okay, sure...

She's not ridiculously buff though! It's believable. And I know...that was embarrassing. It took no skill, just raw beauty. That's not Wonder Woman. But actresses evolve all the time, so hopefully ol' Gal learns from her mistakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man of Steel is the only one so far. It made $128 opening weekend. Despite mixed reviews, i think it's a strong movie to open the universe up with. No better place to start than with Superman. He's the leader, even if Batman has a bigger fan base. That whole "no joke rule" is just a stupid rumor. There will be humor, it just won't be over the top Marvel humor (Thor: The Dark World).

Man of Steel is indistinguishable from Green Lantern or Dark Knight, you could say those are on the same universe. DC's problem runs deeper than a cinematic universe or whatever. They're ashamed to be comics. They really want people to take a man dressed as a bat VERY seriously, and that's why the no jokes rule sounds real, even if it turns out to be a rumour. Their method is exhausting, Marvel has effectively shown that the market for a movie that isn't ashamed of its source material is massive. But we keep getting these dark and gritty versions. Look at Wonder Woman, her outfit is about as dark as Batman's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they had just WENT WITH SINESTRO AS THE VILLAIN it would've been a much better movie. The end credit scene showed him becoming a Yellow Lantern, but the movie sucked so bad it wasn't green lit for a sequel. Well, Batman is never seen as a joke from inside the movies. But the same could be said about a talking tree or a talking raccoon. Comics are supposed to be outrageous in a sense, that's why we love them. DC doesn't have to follow Marvel's formula. If they did, everyone would say "DC IS COPYING MARVEL". So DC is taking things into their own hands and creating a more serious tone with their movies, which I am all for. DC has a lot of grim story arcs to begin with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think people would be upset with DC copying Marvel by making good movies. and humour works pretty well for them Jokes are a part of life. denying them to make things realistic is backwards.

Dr.Destiny kills his ex wife and the guy she was sleeping with (the stuff they got away with back then..). This is my favorite adaptation of any DC product. It was a great show.
