Wonder Woman (2017)

Holy crap. Lame.

Wonder Woman is supposed to be a documentary? And besides, who are they to say that the fashion on Themiscyra does not include shaving?

Edit: I should have learned by now. The story is presented as though it's a big deal, but the few tweets they use as an example are just a few people saying "I wish she had armpit hair" (interestingly, all dudes) one person making a joke about it, and one person saying the whole thing was stupid. The scandal!
 
Wow, some people are really scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to find reasons to get outraged by these movies...
 
Seriously? Just when think I think I've seen the internet at it's most ridiculous something new comes up.
 
well, it must be a good sign, if this is the worst criticism of the movie.

However, I am sure French women will be outraged at this. Expect a low showing in at least 1 European country. ;)
 
As far as I can tell from that article and the tweets they chose to quote, this is how this went:

Male Twitter User #1: "I kinda wish Wonder Woman had armpit hair."

Male Twitter User #2: "Yeah, that would be nice, and would kinda make sense somehow."

Male Twitter User #3: "I just like armpit hair from an aesthetic viewpoint, so I would have liked that, as well."

The Internet: "THERE'S ONLINE FEMINIST OUTRAGE OVER WONDER WOMAN'S ARMPITS! OUTRAGE, I TELL 'YA!!!
 
Ahh, as if the various self-inflicted injuries of 2016 was not enough, the Social Justice Warriors are now complaining about the lack of armpit hair on a comic book character on film.

Keep on fighting those all-important issues.
 
Women and men have been shaving part or ALL of their bodies since early recorded history... So while, as this article states, the modern era of armpit shaving didn't come around until marketing made it cool in 1915, it just seems like there's no reason to think Diana and her people wouldn't think about shaving as well... the internet is stupid... UGH!!!

But it's a different director, with a different style (hopefully). A whole lot of positive buzz/reaction to the Wonder Woman trailers. We will see for sure in June

Things are different.
We're talking about the Academy Award Winning Cinematic Universe now. :p

Well, until Wonder WOman comes out, I am calling it the DC Film Universe (more like the abbreviation). Then MAYBE I follow your suggestion . Or maybe the 'Ward Winning Movie Universe? :rommie:
 
Yeah, the fact that people didn't like the previous DCEU movies, doesn't automatically mean Wonder Woman will get the same reaction. People seem pretty optimistic about it so far, and it does seem to have a very different style and tone from the first three movies.

Yeah, I'm personally excited for and hopeful about Wonder Woman, and I hated Man of Steel and BvS. WW is from a completely different team creatively, and things they've shown/things the director has said in interviews makes me believe they don't share Snyder's style/world view, so I'm hoping that Wonder Woman will be very good or even great.
 
That a director who is not Snyder does not share Snyder's trademark visual style is not exactly surprising or unpredictable.

It seems to me that a lot of people (myself included) are hoping that WW will be the one that "rights the ship," that avoids the problems of the previous two. Given that it's the first female-led superhero movie in a long time and the first live-action Wonder Woman feature film ever, there's a strong desire for it to succeed.

Well, I assumed that the DCEU was going to make all their people conform to Snyder, or at least hire director's that fit his style. Especially since, apparently, Ayer's director's cut of Suicide Squad was a lot darker and grim. I enjoyed the cut of SS we got (if I just ignore any connection to the comics its a decent action flick, just a terrible comic movie/adaptation), but a lot of that is the personality and somewhat less grim tone the cut gave.

So, after two dark movies and a movie that the director apparently wanted a lot more darker then what we got, I don't think its unreasonable to think (before we had much WW info) that the DCEU was going for one certain tone. But, what we've seen of WW has been good, and the interviews with the director seem to show a style and ideas about superheroes that are much, much different then Snyder's. So, I'm excited because of that.

For all we know that could have helped the film.

IMO it needed all the help it could get.
