JGP Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Oh, well if they're going with the current origin, Diana is just the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. Nothing special. For a Demigod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special. For a Demigod. That'd be a curious one though because from other trailers we already know she at least believes that she has the other origin of being 'brought to life' by Zeus and I'm not sure actually being the daughter of Zeus is any more out-there than that. I do wonder if the origin portion of the film is a bit longer than we've probably been assuming and there's a mini-arc about that secret and pretending that she's not that big a warrior which culminates in that scene where the vambraces do their explodey thing that seems to surprise everyone and that's when she finds out she is basically a magic statue and the destined warrior etc and then we go to the main movie.

PetyrPunkinhead Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I stopped halfway through that new trailer b/c I didn't want anything else to be spoiled. I'll be in the theater opening weekend for this film with high expectations. Unfortunately, the bar is set pretty low for DCEU, but I'm expecting a quality film here nonetheless.

Wonder Woman looks awesome in that trailer; but so did the trailers for Man of Steel… Batman vs Superman… and Suicide Squad. I have to make sure to pump my brakes on any excitement.

That first SS trailer was the exact opposite of the final product of the film. /lowered expectations...slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta admit I've been waning lately, up to this point. Can't take my eyes of a gorgeous 51 year old Connie Nielson and a stunning 50 year old Robin Wright. Wow! Buttercup as an action figure. She is just great. An exotic thing. Notice that Connie and Robin have adopted Gal’s Israeli accent. That was done on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Arryn Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I know it was probably done to contextualize the lead's accent, but I usually find actors adopting quasi-ethnic accented English to somehow represent non-English cultures distracting and off-putting.

Most definitely in the so bad it's good category. In it, Cage adopts this bizarre, unidentifiable accent for his main character. Great stoned/drunk group viewing flick. So hard to parse, but absolutely hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty Jenkins wanted the Amazons to have an exotic accent, so, they are using Gal Gadot's Israeli English , have to say it's a clever idea. Also Gal , at times, has a bit of a wooden delivery , this is a bit of a cover for that. On the other hand Gal's slightly detached demeanor fits with playing a demigod.

boojam Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Of note, this is General Antiope, Diana’s aunt and commander of the Amazon forces. Guess who plays Antiope? Are you a fan of The Princess Bride? That is Buttercup! Robin Wright … Robin has gone on to ever bigger things and is now an A list actress. A Golden Globe for House of Cards. She is a knock out at 50 years old! She is gonna be stealing her scenes in the movie! http://robinwright.org.es/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2016-07-24-wonder-woman-1-752x440.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
