Wonder Woman 2 Anticipation Thread

[Redfern]

Seems a few different sources are posting this image, so maybe it's the "real deal".

If it is, yeah, I can get behind this design.

Speaking of the Cheetah, I love what was done for the "DC Superhero Girls" animate series that Lauren Faust developed. In effect, they mixed elements from both the Priscilla Rich version and Barbara Minerva. She parallels rich in that she's a socialite who's jealous of Diana Prince, believing she's losing the center of attention she feels she deserves. But rather than just dressing in tights and trying to upstage Diana, she invokes the magic of an idol, thinking she's cursing Prince, but instead grants her shapeshifting abilities (thus avoiding the human blood sacrifice business of George Perez's post Crisis re imagining). She looks rather like her Justice League animated version but with slightly shorter, thicker hind legs suggesting she's better at running upon all fours. But still looks viciously cute, as contradictory as that seems.

They also have a fairly in depth new article which reveals quite a few pieces of new information.
The article describes Maxwell Lord as "a self-made mogul-slash-guru played as a sort of insidious mix of '80s icons both fictional (Gordon Gekko), and real (Tony Robbins). Barbera Minerva/Cheetah starts out as a "socially awkward gemologist" who works at the Nation History Museum with Diana.
It also reveals that the mall action scene is early in the movie, and that later we get a big action scene in the White House involving Wonder Woman and Maxwell Lord, and a Mad Max style chase through a desert.

She looks trapped in her armor in that middle picture. "Let me out, please, someone help me."

Spoiler: New look at Golden Armor

 

[kirk55555]

The Golden Armor looks pretty lame compared to the various armors Ww has had in the comics, but its not a big deal (although something more like the Kingdom Come armor would have been badass).

As for that Cheetah picture

Spoiler: Cheetah picture

I hope its real. The casting for Cheetah is still awful, but at least she'd vaguely resemble the character.

That is the Kingdom Come armor.

The helmet is wrong, the shape of the suit is wrong, it doesn't seem to have wings and without the red/white/blue coloring its really bland and hard to make out details, its just all a bland gold suit. So no, it might have been inspired by the KC armor, but it really looks nothing like it, it looks cheap and lame and they shouldn't even have bothered.

Then again, the movie seems to be half-assing a lot of things. It feels like Wonder Woman 2 is going to end up like Iron man 2, where the likability/popularity of the main character is the only thing holding up a very weak plot and a crap villain. I'm sure I'm going to like Gal Gadot in it, and the movie itself might be tolerably ok just like IM2 was for me, but I'm a lot less hyped for the movie with every trailer and image that they release.

If they make a Wonder Woman 3, I kind of hope they go with a different director, and rein them in more then they have this one. They're in danger of over correcting way too much after getting rid of Snyder. Harley Quinn was a disaster that was somehow more of a fuck you to the source material then even Suicide Squad, and if Gal Gadot hadn't proven to be great as WW I wouldn't bother with this movie based off its shitty casting and style.

You’re castigating a film you haven’t seen? You? That’s...that’s astonishing.

 

[The Realist]

it doesn't seem to have wings

From Kai "the spy"'s posts above:

Also, the first of those shots is clearly shown in the trailer. You know, the shot with the WINGS.

Not that it really matters worth a crap whether it has wings or not. But if you're going to dismiss a film sight unseen for your usual arbitrary and nonsensical reasons, you could at least try to pick reasons that are not disproven three times on the very same page.

The helmet is wrong

"Wrong" according to what?

How would you know since you have not watched one moment of the film?

About as accurate as the Captain Marvel costume complaints that he had.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

The helmet looks right enough to me.

 

[Gracewood]

There is nothing from the trailer that has made be really interested. maybe its the villian but this feels like a generic comic movie. I dont expect it to be better than the first one.

 

[Redfern]

Ah, so you do expect it to be pretty darn impressive!

 

[Kai "the spy"]

It almost scares me how life-like this modern merch is.

 

[JD]

I've never heard of Queen Studios before. Hot Toys stuff is terrifyingly realistic.

1/2 scale, that would be between two-and-a-half and three feet tall. Or about 90 cm.
