Wonder Woman 2 Anticipation Thread

I wouldn't mind you if not for your passive-aggressive vendetta against everything but MCU. :p

Hey, after all the s*** the MCU got tossed at it nonstop for years and years by FoX-Men fans and DC fans while they thought they could get away with anything it's a reasonable attitude to have. Even now the MCU still gets ripped into for every success they have and every future project they talk about while DC fans bend over backwards to justify every last little flaw in any DC movie. Same with X-Men fans and the Fox movies.

So yeah, I'm not afraid to point out inconsistencies and failings in successes like Wonder Woman. Or dumb decisions made by WB.
 
It really isn’t. It only encourages people to further pile on and, ultimately, accomplishes the opposite of what you want—but hey, if you’re comfortable with that...

They're going to pile on regardless, at least this way they know that the FoX-Men and DCEU films aren't infallible. Or that films like Dark Knight aren't beyond criticism.

Pretty sure these points are already well known by all but a tiny, if loud, group on the fringes. Do you really want to waste your time on such marginal opinions?
 
Tell that to Nolan fans about TDK, DC Fans in general about Wonder Woman and X-Fans about Logan or Days of Futures Past or X2.

I love all of those movies. And also Avengers, Age of Ultron, Infinity War, Spider-man Homecoming, the whole Captain America trilogy, and Guardians. None of them are perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect movie. And 90% of the time you seem to be the only person around here who needs this explained to them.
 
Hey, gang! Easy... I think we're missing the major "bullet point" here.

This film is gonna' have Barbara Minerva, the Cheetah! The princess of the Amazons pitted against a lithe and lethal ailuromorph! (Can't really say "cat woman" because that causes confusion with a certain notable cat burglar and "cat girl" is both diminutive and brings to mind anime high school students wearing ears and tails.)

A bit more seriously, I wonder how she'll be depicted? Given it's the minerva version, I'm guessing she'll gain supernatural abilities from a "god" plant requiring blood sacrifice. Personally, I prefer the version from the "animated universe" as she is not a cold blooded feral killer. (Some of the 80s Perez issues implied Minerva actually slaughtered and ate children.) Instead, she is more of a tragic character, forced to criminal activity to hopefully undo a transformation she suffered when testing medical serums upon herself rather than risk others. But I figure the writers want the version that is apologetically savage, someone the audience will not pity should Diana grind her muzzle into the dirt.

Related to that, I wonder how she will look? Will she have a recognizably human face with just "peach fuzz" and a hint of a nose pad? Or will they go more feral with a slightly extended muzzle and a harelip? It's interesting that in the comics and several animated interpretations have often presented her "in the fur" and nothing else. But I wonder if they can make that idea fly in live action? Oh, I know there are numerous methods how they can achieve that from a technical aspect, a costume with actual fur (well, synthetic fibers), motion capture with the "fur" digitally painted over her body, etc. But with the growing concerns of "objectifying" women in cinema, I wonder if the production will avoid the issue and have her wearing, something, anything. That would be the ultimate irony, however, a PG-13 production "playing it safe" whereas a Saturday morning type cartoon can show her fuzzy butt.

You've clearly never spoken to a dedicated Nolanite, or Toxic X-Fans.
 
Not that anyone but me cares, to one degree or another, I've enjoyed the DC films that have been released in the last ten years or so, the X-films and the MCU films.
 
I'm glad as least some people have real priorities here. :D

So are y'all #teamfuzzybutt or #teampants? :p

I can't speak for anyone else, but as for me...given I compose renders like this...

...it's rather obvious I'm #teamfuzzybutt all the way! :techman:
 
She can create a forcefield that disintegrates stuff thrown at it and redirect energy blasts and all that stuff in the fight with Ares, but somehow can't do the same to Doomsday or Ares 100 years later. It's a screw-up.
Looks to me like she generated a force field or shockwave to attack Doomsday with at 57 seconds in on the video below. The energy started forming on her bracelets before she even clapped them together, either self-generated or residual from Doomsday's blast that she stopped a moment before.

I think it's fascinating you never include rabid toxic MCU fans on your list. Like the don't exist or something.

The same level as Nolanites and Toxic X-fans, they don't. You don't see any MCU fans anywhere saying "This film will destroy all DC films and X-Films past present and future!" about any of their movies, they just say "Well, we like our movies." whereas Nolanites are offended that the MCU isn't full of 0% rated films and FoX-Fans despise the MCU because they see them as everything wrong with CBMs.

Which means they're not here on this board. So why do you insist on acting that way here, again?

TREK GOD1 says otherwise the way he refuses to admit the Nolan movies have any flaws.

And why didn't she use her "weapon destroying force field" thing to destroy Steppenwolf's Axe whenever he swung it at her? Why could she chop through DD's arm like a hot knife through butter but not do the same to Step's armor?

As I recall Trek God likes Winter Soldier and Black Panther. He dislikes cbms that don't try to be 'serious'. Just because you disagree with his preference doesn't make him a rabid partisan. He likes the MCU movies that fit his preference and dislikes the ones that don't.

I've never seen you say a single good word about any DC movie anywhere. I've also never seen you say a bad word about any MCU movie. And rather the most important part: even accounting for the most strident pro-dc posters I can think of, you're the only person on this board who seems literally incapable of ever having any kind of conversation about Marvel or DC without deliberately turning it into a marvel vs dc fight. Everyone else, even Trek God, seems largely capable of discussing the movies they like without always having to fling mud at the ones they don't, or of discussing the movies they don't like without automatically having to contrast them with the ones they do (the occassional dig notwithstanding).
 
Literally 9 out of every 10 of your posts here is shitting on everything that isn't MCU. :rolleyes:

After 10 years of putting up with Nolanites and Toxic X-Fans who hate every Marvel character that isn't Spidey or X-Men.

Pretentious, he dislikes anything that isn't pretentious.

Usually because anytime I post about Marvel it's in response to it being bashed or compared unfavorably to DC or FoX.

Admittedly, I was the one who brought up the Grace Randoph being passive aggressive thing and I apologize for that.

Really? I've seen plenty of mudslinging over the years. Admittedly I decided to become a part of it...
