Wonder Woman (2017)
- Thread starter M.A.C.O.
- Start date
I didn't say her words are less meaningful than someone elses, they are just meaningless. The open letter has nothing to do with it.So the words of the actual director of the actual movie are less meaningful than some random anonymous person ranting on the internet...
I now some people are quick to believe any old shit on the internet, but c'mon... seriously!?
If she thinks the movie will be good she'll say it's gonna be great.
If she thinks the movie will be mediocre she'll say it's gonna be great.
If she thinks the movie will be bad she'll say it's gonna be great.
She will not voice her true opinions publically a year before release, she will praise and promote the movie no matter what, that's part of her job and that's what makes her words meangless.
So basically anyone can make up absolutely anything, post it on the internet and then:
a) if nobody involved with the production denies it, it's true.
b) if somebody involved with the production denies it they could be lying, so it's true.
So what is the proper response to people slinging shit at your movie?
Whose words are meaningful in your opinion?
Do you not think this is a completely insane situation where random people can spread malicious lies about your work and you can do fuck all about it?
She stood behind her movie with her name and reputation, and you're saying her words are meaningless compared to some random anonymous internet troll?
No, no, no. Takeru's saying her words are as meaningless as those of some random anonymous internet troll.
I don't think that's any more accurate than your interpretation, but, oh well ...
So if anyone's interested, Here's an article which basically explains why that "Open Letter" should be taken with a grain of salt. If you're not interested in reading the whole thing (it's actually quite interesting) here's what this guy has to say about the Wonder Woman comments:
I cut the rest of what he said about Wonder Woman because I felt like I was essentially posting the whole article here, and I know that's frowned upon.
Anyways, I put the link above, but in case you missed it, here's a link to the full article again.

I would bet you are right. Few films could be as much of a wrongheaded disaster as Ghostbusters. Moreover, Gal Gadot has an advantage by being exposed to the public in Dawn of Justice--she was widely praised for her debut as Wonder Woman, so there should be great interest in the solo film.
And in just three words, Gal Gadot out-acts Lynda Carter.
Well, it's the iconic first meeting from the comics' origin story -- literally on page one of the very first Wonder Woman story -- so it's the sort of scene you'd expect to be done largely the same way in multiple versions, like Jor-El launching the rocket or Bruce Wayne's parents getting shot. The '70s pilot was actually a surprisingly faithful adaptation of the first two Wonder Woman issues.

I didn't realize that came so directly from the comics. I knew Diana found him stranded on the island in pretty much every version, but I didn't know exactly how it played out in the comics.
EDIT: There have been a few other takes on their first encounter.
I think this is the first encounter in the animated movie, but I it's been years since I saw it so I don't remember for sure.
With the way the movies have been so far, I'm a bit surprised the live action movie didn't go for something more like this.
The post-crisis version has her saving him after she sees him being attack by some sort of creature in his jet. I don't know exactly what was going on there since I just skimmed through the collection on my tablet.

Holy Overly-harsh critique, Batman!Its like saying Star Trek Beyond (or DS9) in one scene out Star Treks TOS.
I mean, wasn't this one of Lynda Carter's first acting gigs? And let' not forget the importance of the directors and producers and writers in the scene in how they make the actor look/feel.
Yeah, Gal Godot will probably have better acting than Lynda Carter, but he respect for Carter in keeping WOnder WOman VERY strong in the AMerica psyche, and fitting in just right where a lot of genre productions were at the time
To be fair to @Christopher , he did soldier through a weekly review of Wonder Woman episodes in the MeTV thread...he's earned his opinion of Lynda Carter's acting ability the hard way.
