I thought that Wonder Woman was an attempt to legitimize Bill's aberrant (polygamous) lifestyle, and subliminally advertising the polygraph machine that he had invented?
Do you not know who is the villain?
It's
Ares, she's fighting War itself, not just one side of the conflict.
Yes, I know. In any case it's evident that the Americans are the good guys and the Germans/Austrians the bad ones.
But Diana doesn't know about the larger war from the get go, when Steve is claiming that the kaiser will not stop until he has conquered the universe (not a quote), so she really has to help him.
By modern standards Bill and his wives are quite vanilla.
There is something about bondage too.

The new trailer was pretty cool. I'm glad they're actually letting this one be lighter with more fun.
It's not just the critics, the fan reaction has been very mixed too. Sure there are a lot of people that like them, but there are also a lot of people who really, really don't. The first few movies had enough of a draw to get people to come back, Man of Steel was the first movie in the series, so people didn't know what to expect, BvS had the draw of the first Batman and Superman meetup on screen, and Suicide Squad had great trailers. But we're now entering into a fool me once shame on me, fool me twice or three times shame on me.
I actually did like all three movies so far, but I know they aren't perfect by any means, and most of the criticisms against them have been entirely fair.

His version of Superman is almost the complete opposite of the comic book version, and a lot of people are disappointed in that. I don't think there's a problem with exploring a darker Superman in general, but it was a mistake to make it the movies' default version.
Sure some fans, and others are hoping that it can repair the damage done by the earlier movies.

Well, it's obvious that we can't get all the nuances from a trailer. Let's wait for the movie
When two teams play basket ball, they pray to the same god.
I gather that's just a rumor so far.
Indeed, it hasn't been officially confirmed, but
it has been confirmed that Ares is in it, and other than Thewlis we already know whom everybody else plays, so it's a very strong rumour.
Nazis Beware!
Quoting myself to add other similarities to Steve (Rogers) and Diana.
Baron Zemo - Baroness Von Gunther
Master Man - Captain Nazi
Vita Rays - Purple Ray
Secret Identity US Army Grunt - Secret Identity US Army Typist
The Stars and Stripes Uniforms
Mighty Shields, whom all those who oppose must yield!
Diana is traditionally linked with WWII, but Marvel beat them to the punch with that just six years ago. I think WWI works just as well with the type of story they seem to be trying to tell, though.
As a comics nerd I must point out that Captain Nazi is a Captain Marvel/Shazam villain. Perhaps you mean Baron Blitzkrieg.
Thing about them using WWI instead of WWII...this movie is also supposed to explain why Diana grew disgusted with Humanity and basically stepped away from everything for about 100 years.
In that context, using WWI works better than WWII because in the end WWI really had no actual good guys and bad guys. It was just a big bloody tragedy that had no happy ending for anyone. It's the perfect set-up for why Diana gave up, when all's said and done and she looks back she'd think "These people died for no reason. This world was ravaged for years for no real cause, no one was any better than the other. Why should I bother anymore?"
