This is a new video that gives a very compelling argument that Despite Wonder Woman doing good, Black Panther is clear Proof Wonder Woman had Much More Box office Potential....

I made similar point, Awhile back while Destroying Queen...I pointed out, that Black Panther and Wonder Woman are almost Identical and every way, So they should have extremely similar expectations....

I point out, Both Wonder Woman and Black Panther were successfully introduced in 2016 in Event type movies in Civil War and BvS...Both received universally praise for their roles and both movies perfectly set up their solo films....

Then Both Solo films had extremely similar reactions, Both Movies got Excellent reviews, was liked by critics,audiences and fans....and ODDLY enough both Films received and a massive amount of extra hype from the films themselves becoming Cultural and Social Impact movies....Wonder Woman was the first major CBM to be directed by A Woman and star A Female Superhero, This lead to a massive "Female Power Movement"....Black Panther was the first Major CBM to be directed by a black director and star a Black Superhero which lead to a huge "Cultural Movement"...

so why did this 2 nearly Identical films have such different Opening Weekends....why couldnt Wonder Woman even makes half a much as Black Panther?

the answer according to this video(and IMO makes perfect sense) is...The Awful state of the DCEU and The Incredible state of the MCU....

WB has just shit the bed With its 5 DCEU films and lost so many fans and audiences, that now even the best DCEU film will never reached the heights of the best MCU film....

its worth a watch....it may change your opinion on Wonder Woman....WW did good, but it literally had the exact same advantages BP had, every single thing about these 2 characters and movies and how they were brought to the big screen were nearly identical, why didnt Wonder Woman have the same success...?

"Wonder Woman" had the handicap of being associated with the horrible DCEU films, including the recent incoherent mess "Suicide Squad".

I really wonder how much more it would have made, if it hadn't been associated with "Batman vs. Superman"?
