Why? I really don't see how he would have been necessary to the plot. Nor can I see someone as arrogant as the Enchantress willing to be manipulated or controlled . . . even by someone as powerful as Steppenwolf.
Steppenwolf was the biggest joke of a villain to be seen in comic book films this entire generation. Suicide Squad had its issues, but in this regard it dodged a bullet. No way would adding Steppenwolf to that movie have improved it in the slightest.
Agreed. It shoulda been Granny Goodness.

Nah, Virman Vundabar, that's the one to introduce people to the New Gods.
Is a Mister Miracle film ever gonna happen?
Ava DuVernay is doing the New Gods movie...
Awesome.
I think JL could have used more Darkseid.
I don't know... I saw A Wrinkle in Time... and it wasn't...yeah, it was a deeply frustrating experience. I think Selma is great, but, A Wrinkle in Time.... How the fuck is she going to handle the New Gods?
The person looking at it is also Greek so it's cool.
Before it was cut, that is.

Israeli actually in real life, in the movie of course Greek
Why does everyone always assume Amazons were Greek? In the myths, they were the enemies of the Greeks, an exemplar of the barbarians from distant lands whose cultures and values were alien and anathema to Greek ways. They were probably based on horse nomads from Asia Minor such as the Scythians.
DC's Amazons are Greek. They speak Greek, worship the Greek Gods and have Greek clothing and architecture. The picture in question is of DC's premier Amazon, so she's Greek.
Yes, and that annoys me, because it's completely missing the point of the Amazons of myth, which was to be emphatically anti-Greek (or at least anathema to Athenian gender values).
Ok. But adaptations are not beholden to slavish adherence to source material (seems I've read something about that around here before--wonder who wrote it?)
More germane to the adaptation here, though, is that it is an adaptation of the DC source, and thus rather faithful, in the end.
They ain't those Amazons.
