It's Wonder Woman!

Imagine wanting to watch Captain America: The First Avenger but you hate World War 2 and you're not a fan of world building. If that appeals then this might just be the movie for you. It's a harsh assessment of a movie which is pretty groundbreaking in terms of a female led comic book movies. However, I personally find this a pretty dull affair. On both occasions we have watched this, it's been a struggle to stay awake. I also don't feel like Patty Jenkins is that good with a third act. It's churlish to compare this to MCU movies. It ticks along just fine and the war scenes are pretty alright. The end battle is a tedious CGI fest where she goes Super Saiyan and breaks continuity. Don't even get me started on the ramifications for global history.

Plus!

Alright! Let's address the restrained elephant in the corner. There's a little bit of sex stuff behind the creation of Wonder Woman. It's a great Part Two where we discuss Wonder Woman's creator and his wives but you have to keep an open mind. It's still oddly viewed in a sort of sneering/tittering/male gaze-y way and I really don't think that should be the case. Especially not these days and if you don't agree I suggest you take a look at your own search history and then have a ruddy good think about your own 'interests'.

Also!

You're still thinking of the weird sex stuff aren't you. Try to get your mind out of the gutter and listen out for how well this movie performed against the other DCEU offerings. It does tremendously well at the box office and suffers none of the drop off problems that plagued Wonder Woman's male teammates.

Thanks for downloading listening!
