Wonder Woman (2. 01. Film) - TV Tropes.
This beautiful place. But I knew so little then. It is a land of beauty and wonder, worth cherishing in every way. But the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness simmering within. And mankind? Mankind is another story altogether.
What one does when faced with the truth is more difficult than you think. I learned this the hard way a long, long time ago. And now, I will never be the same. The movie is directed by Patty Jenkins and is the fourth film in the DC Extended Universe.
The film revolves around Diana's first outing as a superhero. After the mythical Amazons have refused to take action in the affairs of mankind for hundreds of years, Diana resolves to become Wonder Woman, leaving her island home of Themyscira in order to help bring an end to one of the most destructive wars in humanity's history. Not to be confused with the animated film Wonder Woman, which is a part of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line. The Comic- Con Teaser can be viewed here, which was cut down to become the first official trailer. The second trailer can be viewed here.

Greetings, my Westerosi window envelopes! As you can probably guess, last week’s episode of Game of Thrones—and its increasing dominance over the pop culture. Superman returns: New Justice League image teases Henry Cavill's superhero alongside Batman Teasing Cavill's return. Warner Bros.
The conversation between Diana and Sir Patrick right before the end. Steve saying goodbye to Diana. Action Girl: Wonder Woman was trained as a warrior from the time she was young and is a very good fighter. Adaptation Inspiration: Many previous incarnations of Wonder Woman were rooted in a Mars- and- Venus Gender Contrast perspective, where the Amazons believed that Women Are Wiser and men are responsible for all the war and pain and suffering in the world. They treated Steve Trevor and any other men stumbling on Themyscira with open hostility just for being men. In the film, they don't differentiate between men and women of the outside world both contributing to the beauty and ugliness of humanity.
The ultimate news source for music, celebrity, entertainment, movies, and current events on the web. It's pop culture on steroids. A description of tropes appearing in Wonder Woman (2017). Wonder Woman is a 2017 film starring the world's first popularized superheroine, DC Comics' Wonder.
Diana herself is more curious than anything when she encounters Steve and goes to London for the first time. Even when Ares tries to break her faith in humanity, he uses the woman who developed the toxic gas weapon as an example of why Humans Are Bastards.
Adaptational Modesty: Downplayed example. In broad appearance her costume is faithful to the comics but flayed strips of fabric gives her a micro- skirt, the bustier doesn't give her an Impossibly- Low Neckline and her footwear extends to her knees. The overall look is much more armored as well rather than just a Form- Fitting Wardrobe. It's also averted because she is still considered naked for WWI- era women. Adaptational Ugliness: Ares is oftentimes depicted as rather handsome. In the movie, he looks like an average middle- aged man.
Poison in the comics looks rather Gonkish, but the film version has a facial disfigurement that involves a melted nose and skin, a half of a Glasgow Grin. Adaptation Distillation: The film is heavily inspired by George Perez's 1. Wonder Woman and her mythos — most notably the history of the Amazons, Ares being the Big Bad of her first adventure in Man's World, and her misconception that the ongoing wars are the direct result of Ares's intervention, when it turns out that Ares simply gets benefited by wars that the humans start all by themselves.
It also borrows elements from the the New 5. Zeus, and thus a demigod. As in Justice League, the Amazon that leaves the island is not decided in a tournament, as in the original canon. Instead, Hippolita prefers to dismiss the war as someone else's problem, so Diana steals some weapons and escape from the island to help in the conflict.
Last but not the least, the idea of Diana first coming to Man's World during a world war harks back to the original story by William Marston; albeit it's World War I here rather than World War II as it was in the earliest comics. Adaptation Name Change: As part of her Race Lift, Dr. Poison's name is changed from Maru in the comics to Isabel Maru. Adorkable: Diana enters the rest of the world as a Fish out of Water, a lot of energy and a certain obliviousness to how she comes off.
She lights up when she sees a baby in the street, even squealing . Steve buys her some ice cream from a vendor and she is almost brought to tears over how good it is. Steve Trevor is also quite endearing in how smitten he is over Diana, to the point where he breaks into a cold sweat whenever she brings up sex or flashes her thighs. Adult Fear: Hippolyta fears training Diana for fear that Diana will learn to crave war when War Is Hell. She's also scared that Ares will find her daughter and kill her for being half- siblings. When Diana hits the front, she sees women and children begging for help, as well as innocent bystanders killed. Advertised Extra: Robin Wright is present in many of the promotional materials and is billed third in the CBB only behind Gal Gadot and Chris Pine.
Her character Antiope gets killed a quarter of the way into the movie. Aerith and Bob: The names of the Amazons are: Hippolyta, Antiope, Melanippe, Artemis, Euboea, Venelia, Acantha.. Of note, most of these names, including Diana, are from Classical Mythology, but Diana is the only one still commonly used today, and of a Latin root instead of a Greek root. Granted, this is inherited from the comics.
An Aesop: One person, no matter how badass they are, can't save the world. It takes the help of many. Evil has complex roots. Killing one bad person will not, on its own, fix an evil situation. Also, Humans Are Flawed. Wars and conflicts can bring out the worst and the best in people, and we should strive to achieve the latter and help others to do the same, not simply giving up on them.
Affably Evil: While he still considers himself to be superior, Ludendorff makes no effort to hide how impressed he is with Diana, taking time out of their battle to call her . He actually doesn't want to fight her, not because he thinks she can beat him, but because he believes he is right. He even lets her get her sword back. All for Nothing: When Diana first arrives at the No Man's Land, she encounters a few villagers from the village of Veld telling about the cruelty they suffered. Diana then does her best to put an end to that.
It's rendered pointless when Ludendorff fires the chemical weapon at the village later on, killing everyone that Diana had saved earlier. All of the Other Reindeer: While she isn't outright rejected by her fellow Amazons, being their princess, it's clear that Diana has been held at bay by many of them.
Part of it is due to her relatively young age, having been the only Amazon to be born and raised on Themyscira, and thus the only one to have never really experienced the evils of the outside world. The other reasons are because of her divine heritage, which makes her above all of them, even her own mother, and the purpose of her conception: to kill Ares, another god.
It's greatly implied that the Amazons had a hard time reconciling the idea of her being both their princess and a Living Weapon — especially after she accidentally injured Antiope during training. Ironically, it's also implied that the reason why Diana wanted to train to be a warrior so badly when she was younger was so she could fit in better. Alliterative Title: Wonder Woman. For Added Alliterative Appeal, she's played by Gal Gadot.
Alone in a Crowd: During Ludendorff's gala, Steve sees Dr. Poison is alone by the fireplace. Alternate History: The movie takes elements of this toward the end, when Wonder Woman kills Ludendorff in battle. The real Erich Ludendorff lived until 1. The German high command also survived the war, but they are gassed by Ludendorff and Dr. Poison in the film. There's an even bigger one that's not as obvious.
It's mentioned in the novel and confirmed by the credits that the German Commander that Ludendorff argues with at the High Command meeting and who he gasses to death is none other than Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg himself, who became President of Germany after the War and had a pretty big role in the events between the World Wars. Aluminum Christmas Trees: Vets actually did wear masks fashioned out of metal to cover up severe facial trauma. Although they were held up by strings run around the ears or attached to eye glasses, whereas Dr. Poison's appears to be attached with some sort of adhesive. Amazon Brigade: The Amazons. The very same from Greek myth, so obviously they don't have any men in their ranks. Amazon Chaser: Sameer is .
Judging from the face Steve makes at a couple of points, he's not the only one. Ambiguously Gay: In a conversation about relationships and sexuality, Diana tells Steve that the Amazons concluded a long time ago that men are needed for procreation but are not necessary for pleasure.
Steve doesn't dwell on this, but it's enough that the audience noticed. Ambiguously Human: The Amazons are implied to have superhuman abilities.
At the very least, they seem to be ageless. Ambiguous Time Period: It's unclear how old Diana was when Steve crashed on the island. The involvement of Zeus in her creation implies that she's been on Themiscyra since it was cloaked (since Zeus cloaked the island . However, she acts far closer to her physical age. An old bit of comic book canon stated that Themiscyra drifted in and out of time at random intervals, which further clouds the issue. Ancestral Weapon: The God- Killer sword, treated as sacred by the Amazons and powerful enough to kill a god.
Zeus forged the sword and gave it to the Amazons in the event that Ares returns. Diana steals it with the intent of killing Ares. However, when Diana confronts the God of War, he vaporizes the blade and reveals that she herself is the God- Killer.
Justice Leagues Gets a New Comic- Con Trailer. For the second consecutive year, Warner Bros. Early on in the production of Justice League, the studio made a point to feature their upcoming team up heavily after a divisive reception for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This year, the outlook on the DC Extended Universe has shifted dramatically thanks to how well Wonder Woman has been received.
With audiences enthralled with her story and her next appearance being just a few months away, WB didn’t hold back on promoting Justice League at SDCC 2. Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) and her fellow members of the Justice League – Ben Affleck (Batman), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Ezra Miller (Flash), and Ray Fisher (Cyborg) – all on hand to hype these heroes coming together for the first time on the big screen. And they did not come to SDCC 2. Warner Bros. Check it out, above! Whereas previous trailers were used to introduce audiences to the Justice League, this new trailer does a great job of establishing what the film will be – while also teasing much more.
Gadot is very much at or near the front of the trailer, right alongside Affleck. However, outside of showing more of the heroes, it also introduces Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds). He is shown arriving in Themyscira and stealing the Amazon’s Mother Box, in addition to being glimpsed in a number of fight scenes.
He is also the one narrating portions of the trailer, teasing DC fans with “the lack of Lanterns” that Earth has. This is also the first piece of marketing to come out since Joss Whedon stepped up to oversee Justice League. The overall tone of this trailer is different than the “fun” feeling of the previous one, but that may simply be attributed to the inclusion of Steppenwolf and the laying of groundwork for the film’s plot. Still, it has plenty of action and stand out scenes for all the members of the Justice League. Outside of the Steppenwolf’s brief mention of Earth having no Lanterns, other references from the trailer include a nod to Batman’s days fighting Penguin. The trailer also manages to reference Superman (and his death in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) regularly, but the ending of the footage could be a tease of his arrival. For more, stay tuned to Screen Rant for a full breakdown on this trailer.
