Wonder Woman (2017)

The more I see, the more I wish DC/WB had taken the path of making this before BvS.


Why didn't people make this same complaint when Black Panther and Spider-Man appeared in "Captain America: Civil War"? Why are some people only making this complaint in regard to the DCEU movies?


It's the same reason BvS was subtitled Dawn of Justice -- Warner Bros. is desperate to keep reminding us that this is all leading to a Justice League film in the near future.

So, that means Disney was doing the same when it added "The First Avenger" subtitle to the first Captain America movie?

YES! It was the last of the Phase 1 films before The Avengers, and Marvel absolutely wanted people making that connection. It was every bit as blatant as this, and every bit as intentional. Also, in at least some places around the world, that was the movie's entire title. Just "The First Avenger," to get away from calling it Captain America
 
Can't wait for this movie and also the Justice League movie. I love the DC movies. I never really got into the Marvel ones, except for Spiderman.
 
Rewatched the trailer a few times, some notes:
- I like how all the Amazons have accents
- kid Diana reminded me of Lyanna Mormont :techman:
- Chris Pine and Lucy Davis are great at comedic beats
- while in the previous trailers Diana's dialogue indicated she thinks she's a clay baby, this one seems to imply she's actually the daughter of Zeus

It's good that the trailers haven't been too revealing so far, but since this one is labeled "origin trailer" and not "final trailer" I take it there will be another one?

BP and Spider-Man were not crucial to the origins of MCU/Avengers but WW, Batman and Superman are to the DCEU/JL. It never made any sense why they didn't introduce Batman and WW solo like they did with Superman in MoS before tackling joint crossover movies like BvS. Man of Steel was an amazing updated origin movie IMO and I wish they would of done the same with Batman simply because this Batman seems like he carries alot of baggage and it would of been nice to see what made him into the cold killer we saw in BvS + it would of helped Joker alot as well to debut with Batman before SS.

Wonder Woman does look great though and since I don't know much about her character am eager to see her origin story.
 
that "witness the future of justice" tagline seems weird for a movie set a hundred years in the past.

Maybe they were implying that Diana doesn't see justice through just punching the bad guy, but through love and compassion and that's the sort of thing the world needs more right now and in the future and... ah who am I kidding, they're totally plugging the Justice League :D
 
Can we have one comic book movie thread that doesn't devolve into tired MCU v DCEU fights?

Can it be this one?

Please.

I rather doubt it. A lot of people on this thread, including me, usually comment on it.

Well, maybe you should just let it go.

Hugo - Predictable, just like @LJones41
 
As much as I love that trailer, that "witness the future of justice" tagline seems weird for a movie set a hundred years in the past.

Also, no different than Captain America being called "The FIrst AVenger", even though isn't that technically Phil Coulson or Nick Fury? ;)
 
My point was more about the "future" part of the tagline.

...which was not necessary, since the JL movie has already been teased--more than the threads in the pre-Avengers Marvel movies. WW is not the "future" of the team--she's a part of it, and each character had to find a reason to work together, which is why MoS did not need to refer to him as the "future" of Justice.
 
My point was more about the "future" part of the tagline.

Yes, and as I said, that's because the marketers want us to remember that this film is setting up a Justice League film that's both in our future and in Wonder Woman's future. They don't care that it's incongruous for a story set a century in the past; all they care about is building up the hype for what's next in the series.

Batman has had tons of exposure through movies and television for the last fifty years. The recent Dark Knight trilogy was incredibly successful and you would be hardpressed to find a moviegoer at this point who doesn't know who Batman is.We don't need to see his reintroduction for the umpteenth time. Doing so would elicit the same reactions that Sony got when they rebooted Spiderman barely ten years after the first movie.

Unlike Batman, Captain America at the time of his first movie was hardly known outside the comic book world and thus needed a solo movie.
