aaaaaaand I'm gonna step into a yuge can of worms here.
So. The Wonder Woman comic book is ridiculously feminist, to the point of being straight up misandrist. (Earth One, I am looking straight at you.) Without going too deep into it, the guy who came up with the idea was kinky, and that was probably the least insane thing about him.
Anyway. The movie features an athletic model (man points) kicking ass (man points) in a miniskirt (man points) and a metal corset (man points). There's a lot of things for guys to like, right? And, hey, maybe the WWI setting is so that the evil evil socially-backwards "Man's World" won't have obnoxious political subtext. Yeah, things sucked for women 100 years ago when Woodrow Wilson (D) was president. We can all agree on that.
(Wait a damn minute. Underclad action girl(s) in a film with a mildly feminist subtext and Zack Snyder's involvement? Friendly reminder that I liked Sucker Punch, so...)
So aside from the subject matter, the other thing that's really encouraging about this film so far is that it's lacking the marketing campaign Fake Ghostbusters had. You remember - "See this film or you're a sexist asshole!"
So yeah, looking forward to it.
Please don't suck, Wonder Woman.
