"alking about things like that simply diminishes you as a class of people and makes it look like you want to wallow in perpetual victimhood. Everyone in the world could bring up past inequities to go "woe is me" about if they wanted to."
Wow perfectly put.
I am also tired of people trying to play the victim for things that have actually got nothing to do with them.
I think it is really attention whoring.
I completely agree with Jedi Jones. Try to be part of something that you never experienced just to make yourself feel important is needy.
The OP is needy because he/she actually thinks this stupid ladies only night for present day women who can vote is somehow linked to women who did not have the right to vote in the past is laughable.
That is the cool way to look at it.
Yes if they show repercussions of Diana's actions to her letting Dr Maru go that would be very interesting. I totally agree that her going onto really help the Nazis or something to that effect will clearly prove what Diana did was a blunder.
So in summary I think viewing it as a blunder from Diana's side makes it more interesting. Hope that is how they go about with it.
Of course if there is no consequences then unfortunately this will be the age old cliche /trope of how female villains are somehow always let off easy even when the lead is a heroine.
Hence, I like the way you are looking at it. A screw up by Diana due to the mind games Ares played.
She could have just punched her out and captured her. It does not sound like Dr Maru can put up much of a fight though she is evil.
So yes killing her would be too much.
I think just punching her out and capturing her would have made more sense wouldn't it?
For me to see the only female villain get off scott-free is really disappointing. I want a completely balanced film with no special treatment.
Maybe like you are saying it was not intentional. But to me it sucks a bit.
That would suck. But it would explain why she was not physically assaulted.
Because unlike male villains the rare female villains do not get a proper comeuppance is unfortunately a common trope.
I was hoping that was not the case here as I heard the film was very balanced. And according to you guys Diana has beaten up or killed men so why not her?
Of course she did not have to kill her.
She could have just punched her out and captured her without letting her go?
It does not make sense.
Yes I am ok with a spoiler. I will also update the title to indicate spoiler.
Wow that is weird. From what I read in the previews she is supposed to be a Mass murderer or some sort of evil scientist who does human experimentation. I might be wrong as I am yet to watch it.
It is really weird if she was all that and Diana still just let hr walk off! Actually a bit disappointing.
What was the rationale behind her actions?
Or is she the kind of heroine that only prevents violence from occurring and actually doesn't physically hurt the villains?
Worst justification would be that she was let got because she was a female villain. Which I am hoping is not the case as that would be kind of a sexist double standard.
Or like I said I might be wrong and Maru was a redeemable villain who had justification for her actions or she simply wasn't violent as described in previews?
Or maybe she was under an actual evil villains control and had no control over her actions?
Maybe there was at least a scene where she gets a well deserved punch or slap? Maybe not a hardcore beat down or killing but a quick punch to just give her some consequence for her actions?
I don't mind the spoilers so please let me know. As for why I have not watched it yet it has not yet released in my country.
That is great to hear. I always like it when they make strong female characters who are not made strong by putting men down. I heard this was not the slightest bit anti-male which is an excellent achievement considering the current climate.
Glad to see people not making movies about males vs females and just focusing on making them great through a great story and acting.
What is that supposed to mean>
Yes this is actually IMDB for normal people. IMDB is now all about the elites and censorship to appease the Hollywood elite.
Yes finally a reasonable person with a solid explanation.
The Wonder woman in this film kicks butt because she has powers. Even if she was 5 feet tall and 90 lbs still wouldn't matter. Guys who are trying to justify Wonder Woman's fighting ability by saying the actress can fight makes me laugh.
This is fantasy. Get over it. But at the same time I can see some people are realizing there sexual fantasy by hiding behind the argument that they are supporting a strong female character. That also is very transparent. You can see from one side there are these guys who get turned on by a cute girl kicking butt that is fine but don't hide behind something else own up to it.
On the other side like you said the actress can be tiny as hell and yet the story will still work because she has powers.
However that being said I would personally prefer a bit more variety in the casting of strong female characters. Many seem to look way too much a like. Almost like they are saying a girl needs to look a certain way to be a super heroine.
