Beautiful picture, such pictures always breaking my heart
If title is Wonder Woman 1984 (and, yes, I know it is), then why didn't you use it for the thread title instead of Wonder Woman 2?![]()
I'm optimistic that Wiig pulls this off, provided the script writers have given her dramatic material that befits the character. In my years following superhero films I know well to give the actor a chance and not just think they've been typecast.
American Ninja Warrior competitor and professional stunt woman Jessie Graff wasn't able to compete in the finals this year because she is to busy working on WW1984.
If I had to hazard a guess, the Amazons were technologically advanced, yet chose to live a simple lifestyle and not develop modern weaponry. After the death of so many trained warriors at the hands of conscripts with rifles, they reversed course and began building the tools and weapons they would need to defend themselves.In the comics from the Golden and Silver Ages the Amazons were more scientifically advanced than Man's World. The modern take, not so much.
That was my first thought.Hopefully she is doing the Cheetah stunts??.
Patty Jenkins has provided a reason for why the film is set in 1984:
One of my favorite things about making the original was that it took place during World War I in 1917, an era full of metaphors like modernity and the mechanized world. I grew up in the ’80s, and this has its own look and feel. The reason I am excited is it showed mankind at its best and worst. It was grand and wonderful, there was great music and there were elegant and beautiful things. But other things about the decade revealed the worst of us. To have Wonder Woman in that period of time that was us at our most extreme, is wonderful.
That's pretty much been ignored since the first Wonder Woman, so that's not really the fault of WW1984.
There has only been one Wonder Woman film so far. "Batman v. Superman" established that Diana had more or less kept to herself between 1918 and 2015. This was reaffirmed in "Justice League".
I'm sorry, but . . . it goes against what Diana had revealed about her past life in "Batman v. Superman". Perhaps I'll still like it, but I will forever regard this 1984 setting as the worst aspect of this film.
