Gal Gadot has the WRONG physique of Wonder Woman from the comics


So months after the news of Gadot's (mis)casting as Wonder Woman, her defenders (who are largely made up of fashion industry fanatics that want androgynous looking women to be as much in the media as possible) kept claiming that either she was completely right for the role as she was or that she will be just fine after she has some "intense" physical training and she will look totally different when all is said and done.

Well, after all was said and done, Gadot participated in the "Ice Bucket Challenge" so this was a very recent image of her and this is how she looked after all that "intense" physical training:

There she is in her noodle arms, chicken legs and her almost completely flat chest glory much to the delight of fashion industry fanatics.

There is a IMDB member who claimed that she looks just like how Wonder Woman does in the New 52 in some thread he/she started. Funny, since this is Wonder Woman in the New 52:

No noodle arms, chicken legs or flat chest to be found.

And even in those cases where some artist did draw Wonder Woman as some anorexic fiend, it doesn't prove anything because there are artists who get it wrong like when Rob Liefeld did this infamous drawing of Captain America:

Just because Rob Liefeld did Captain America with that bizarre looking upper body doesn't mean that's how he should be in a live action movie.

Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is one of the worst casting decisions in Hollywood and proof of the unfortunate influence of the fashion industry over mainstream media.

Wonder Woman's power is supernatural. Physique is nearly irrelevant for that reason. As long as they aren't putting Rebel Wilson out there, I'm not going to carp about body type.

I do not read comics so I am ok with it.

Still terrible casting as of 2021
Its not just men that draw skinny women. J scott Campbell who usually draws curvy women like in Danger Girl. Hes been called out cause of his Mary Jane Art, somebody "fixed his art by removing her breasts

My post applies to Superman also.

The strength of WW (and Supes) does not come from muscle or working out, so their body, fitness, and shape do not matter. They could be skinny, fat or anything in between. These two are not like Batman, Green Arrow or even Flash and Green Lantern to a lesser degree. F and GL would need physical strength and stamina from working out, diet, etc. to use their powers.

Still not believable as WW

I think Leslie Jones should have been Wonder Woman
