I dunno. I think both Cameron and Jenkins are making fair points.
If anyone thinks that a big part of the reason WW was such a huge hit is because Gal Gadot is stunningly gorgeous, I have a bridge to sell you. Just scroll back through this discussion and have a look at some of the photos others have posted of Gadot. Sex appeal was part of this movie's success, no doubt. So is that a victory for sisterhood? I don't think so. Cameron's got a point.
But Jenkins's response is also correct. Can beautiful women not also be strong and decisive and heroic? Must feminism exterminate all appreciation of beauty to remain pure? Must all feminist heroes be dark and gritty and damaged? Nope.
I would have to say Linda Carter as WW looked more like a stripper then Gal's did. Yet they both betrayed
strong women.
And, yes, the Linda Carter WW did look more like a stripper than a fighter. Muting the colors and removing the stars was a good idea.
Sorry yes long day. I heard that some people complained that WW wasn't an American and that upset them of course they are remembering the Tv show. Those people know nothing of the comic.
James Cameron, who gave us some of the best onscreen female heroes of all time in Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor, says Wonder Woman is a "step backward" for women on film
I fully expect MCU fanboys to sob crocodile tears when Wonder Woman's domestic gross passes those of CA:CW (a certainty) and IM3 (less likely, but probably will happen).
Also, perhaps that's where I draw the line. Because as much as I like Wonder Woman... let's not surpass an Avengers movie.
Personally I liked Wonder Woman better then any Avenger movie as of yet. I still feel like that it's missing something, What? I'm not sure of.
