Is it just me or is Wonder Woman’s theme....


... a borrowed riff of off Led Zeppelin’s song; “Immigrant Son”?

And so oddly when chosen now in "Thor: Ragnarok" as the theme on the bridge battle... are they winking to WW here?

I was surprised to see this. An outtake that never made it to Houses, Immigrant Son was initially recorded on two tracks. John Paul Jones was playing mandolin and John Bonham was playing a stripped down kit.

There was one close mic on JPJ, and one in a small cardboard box taped to the far corner of the wall, at the ceiling.

Robert Plant had been laughing that afternoon, over a white poker chip covering a '73 set list just over the last "g" in the title Immigrant Song. "Immigrant Son," he said. "Now there's one we haven't done."

With that, they all laughed and Jimmy Page, knowing what would come next, hit record. Plant later overdubbed vocals, but the finished product had too much of Plant's initial improvised vocals (he only knew about the close mic).

Point is, spellcheck doesn't catch everything.

"MaxiRad -- bone dry for another barspin!"

I don’t really find them to be similar. Haven’t seen Thor yet but if The Immigrant Song is in it, that is probably for the lyrics, which reference Norse mythology (“Hammer of the Gods”, “Valhalla”, etc )

It is that famous riff (is it guitar, no sure) they emphasize during an attack in Thor and imo in then mirrors how WW theme is used. But hey, perhaps it is just me :)
