Female Superhero movies are hard to do.

Not because they are female, but because there really isn't a lot of experience making them.

There is a bunch of opportunity here, and I hope they are able to do this right.

I've always believed that rather than try to make a "female super hero" movie, they should go the other direction. Make her violent and make her the one the guys have to reign back because she takes it too far.

I think you're right but I lay blame on lack of imagination and creative cowardice instead of inadequate experience. It's been two decades since a minor female character spun off from the syndicated Hercules:The Legendary Journeys and became a worldwide phenom. Although it was unabashfully campy at times, Xena:Warrior Princess demonstrated how a small casting effort can land an actress perfect enough that she far surpassed even Lynda Carter's mold for ideal female superhero beauty, physicality, intelligence, persona, and feats of (super)heroism.

The ultimate test is translating a female superhero character to live action movies dramatically. Personally, I think screenwriters, producers and even the studios simply were unwilling to take on the challenge or couldn't mentally construct an audience-satisfying version of a female superhero who can save those needing protection like just male superheroes could. It's really weak sauce. We can go back over thirty years and find a perfect example in Ridley Scott/James Cameron's Ripley movie character with all the right qualifications for superheroism. The only thing she lacked was a cape. Or a lasso and bracelets.

That's my rant for the day. It's just so frustrating seeing how the nearly limitless potential of Hollywood has been wasted in properly bringing these characters to the big screen.

Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman helped get me through puberty. Growing up without cable this was about as steamy as it got on Network TV during my youth. I would have love to have seen the out takes of this scene. It must have taken at least a few takes to come up with some Kevlar reinforcement in the lining of her top to keep them from falling out.

Beauty iisn't one of Wonder Womans powers.

Can't tell much by that scene but Gal Godot is very attractive to say the least. I would have gone for someone more curvy/busty for that role because Lynda Carter is the image everyone has of Wonder Woman. Watching the trailer they failed with her hair and she's not near busty enough for that costume. She has a beautiful face but the wrong body type for the role.

She's ok. Nothing great.

That's your opinion everyones taste is different but anyone who does a google image of her and doesn't think she's beautiful needs glasses. From watching the trailer her hair style didn't flatter her and she's too thin for that role. Lynda Carter set the standard for how Wonder Woman should be built and Gal Godot doesn't stack up so to speak.

My idea of beauty isn't yours I guess. Her face is ok, doesn't wow me. Everyone's taste is different.

That's fine her body doesn't wow me but her face is stunning at least in my opinion just saw her a couple of weeks ago at a restaurant. Didn't even know who she was until I was told she was an actress. She's done fashion modeling and they needed someone who's done fitness modeling for Wonder Woman but hard to find women who look the part that can act.

Muscles on a woman. I guess if that's the idea of Wonder Woman.

The girl in the picture looks very feminine she's in no way bulked up with muscle. She has a very toned, fit, athletic body can't imagine anyone complaining about the way she's built. You are hard to please. lol
