"WONDER WOMAN" FOOTAGE DESCRIPTION

Is the DCEU saved?

>The first sequence played for us features Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) and Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) setting sail toward London. Against the wishes of her mother, Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), Diana has decided to sneak away with Steve so that he may get secret intelligence to the Allied forces, and she can find Ares and stop him from creating chaos by way of World War I.

>Though Hippolyta was firmly against Diana taking on this mission, from a distance she watches them leave the island without trying to stop them. Her sister, Antiope (Robin Wright) asks vaguely, "Should you have told her?" Hippolyta responds cryptically, "The more she knows, the sooner he’ll find her." The "he" in question is presumably Ares, which implies that there’s some kind of connection between Ares and Diana that the latter hasn’t been made aware of yet.

>As Diana and Steve set sail, she asks him to take her to where the fighting is the most intense, because that’s where she will find Ares, the god of war. Diana believes that once she finds Ares, she’ll be able to kill him with the Godkiller sword and stop the fighting. Steve doesn’t necessarily buy into that, and he’s more concerned with getting back to London and finding the men who can end this war. Without hesitation, Diana says, "I’m the man who can." She believes once Ares is destroyed, the German forces will be free of his influence, become good men again, and the world will be better for it. That’s all the expository stuff we need in this scene. The rest of this sequence gives us a better idea of how Diana is being handled as a character.

>Steve Trevor shifts around the boat to create a makeshift bed out of what’s on the boat. He makes one area for Diana to sleep in while he makes another separate area for himself. Diana finds this odd, inquiring whether the average man sleeps or not, or maybe just doesn’t sleep with women. Steve clarifies that it’s just not polite or customary to sleep next to a woman if she’s not married to the man sleeping next to her.

>The scene makes for an amusing exchange where we learn that Diana isn’t up to snuff on some of mankind’s traditions, and Chris Pine gets perfectly flustered when trying to explain them. But more importantly, it creates wonderful chemistry between Diana and Steve, showing more genuine humanity and charm than all of the previous DC movies combined. Steve feels the need to prove that he’s not just an average man in the face of a woman who is so self-assured and spirited, explaining that he’s not just an "average man" since being a spy takes a certain amount of skill.

>Though Diana is not familiar with the concept of marriage, she’s not completely naive or clueless. As the conversation continues, Diana has no trouble explaining that she’s familiar with reproductive biology and "the pleasures of the flesh", having read all 12 volumes of Cleo’s treatises on body and pleasure. Some more humor is doled out when Diana explains that the books came to the conclusion that males are necessary for procreation but not for pleasure, a statement with which Steve casually disagrees.

>These are the kind of moments that have been few and far between in all of the previous DC Expanded Universe movies. Though Clark Kent and Lois Lane have shared some intimate moments like this, they don’t come close to having the charm and authenticity of this exchange between Steve and Diana.

it will bomb

see no

It sounds horrible.

>Suicide Squad early footage: Is the DCEU saved?

>Wonder Woman early fotage: Is the DCEU saved?

>Justice League early footage: Is the DCEU saved?

superhero movies are a plague on filmmaking.

>Is the DCEU saved?
sure

Name a good CapeShit flick made after Dark Knight

IM WAITING

>Is the DCEU saved?
>actually this may be their first bomb
>Marvel had like three flops already and still going strong

DC is here to stay lads, this movie looks like shit though

>The next sequence shown features General Erich Ludendorff (Danny Huston) at a German base. He asks one of his men, "How long until we are operational?" He says it will be two days until they are finished, by Ludendorff gives them until that night to be ready. The soldier says they haven’t had any food or sleep while Ludendorff counters that he is in the same boat, but isn’t making any excuses. Ludendorff reminds him that an attack can happen at any time, and as a reminder to the rest of the soldiers, he shoots his own man in the head. The scene illustrates how ruthless Ludendorff is, much in the same way that Darth Vader is portrayed by having him choke his own Imperial officers.

>Following this nonchalant display of power, Ludendorff enters a lab where Doctor Maru (Elena Anaya) is waiting. He asks for an update on progress, and Maru indicates that it’s not enough. In the same breath, she laments the fact that they’ve run out of time because Germany is on the verge of giving up the fight and signing an armistice to end the war. But Ludendorff maintains that the Kaiser will not want to sign the armistice once he sees how powerful their new poison weapon can be, even though it’s not ready.

>However, the more interesting detail in this scene is when Maru gives Ludendorff "a different kind of gas," something that will restore his strength. He breaks open a small blue vile and inhales the gas. Suddenly his face becomes slightly translucent and glows, veins visible throughout his skin. It’s clear that he gets a huge rush from whatever this gas is, and it makes him so strong that he is able to crush a pistol with his bare hand. After this moment, Maru has some kind of breakthrough in her mind, and she says, "If it’s what I think, it’s going to be…terrible."

Logan.

Nobody outside of America gives a single shit about Wonder Woman. I suspect it will do poorly worldwide.

>London in 1918 is smoggy, dirty and as Steve Trevor tells Diana Prince, "It’s not for everybody." As they make their way through the city, Diana is getting her first taste of what civilization is like in the rest of the world. She wonders why some people hold hands as they walk through the city, but then she’s quickly back to the mission at hand: getting to the heart of the war.

>Steve convinces Diana that they need to get the intelligence he stole from the Germans to his superiors before they can head into the battlefield to find Ares. She agrees, but first, Steve realizes that Diana needs to get some clothes that allow her to blend in more. Diana wonders what the other woman around her wear into battle before being smitten with the sight of a baby, something that the Amazons apparently haven’t seen in a long time.

>This scene continues to show the humorous dynamic between Steve and Diana. At the same time, it shows us that Diana isn’t the kind of woman who is intentionally trying to undermine or subvert the norms of society at this time. She’s merely not privy to the fact that the place of women during this especially patriarchal time in world history is not on the battlefield. Diana is not trying to thrust some kind of progressive agenda on the rest of the world, but instead simply doesn’t know any better.

>However, the more interesting detail in this scene is when Maru gives Ludendorff "a different kind of gas," something that will restore his strength. He breaks open a small blue vile and inhales the gas. Suddenly his face becomes slightly translucent and glows, veins visible throughout his skin. It’s clear that he gets a huge rush from whatever this gas is, and it makes him so strong that he is able to crush a pistol with his bare hand. After this moment, Maru has some kind of breakthrough in her mind, and she says, "If it’s what I think, it’s going to be…terrible."

Funny, I thought the same thing

>The war is raging on the frontlines. Diana wants to help anyone she can at every turn. Whether it’s assisting a family in pulling horses out of a deep bed of mud, or saving a village of people who are being enslaved by German forces, Diana feels compassion and sympathizes with the plight of mankind in this war.

>Diana, Steve and their band of rogue soldiers - Charlie (Ewem Bremner), Sameer (Saiid Taghmaoui) and Chief (Eugene Brave Rock) walk through the trenches of a battlefield where the Germans have them outgunned from 200 yards away. There’s a battalion of soldiers who have been in that same location for a year and they’ve barely gained an inch, thanks to the machine guns that the Germans have pointed all over the battlefield. Steve explains to Diana that this area is called "No Man’s Land", because no man can cross it. Diana doesn’t need to say that she isn’t a man for us to know she’s about to charge across that battlefield.

Why does Chris Pine work on so many flops? Is he actively seeking them out?

>Even though Steve says this is not what they came here to do, Diana turns away, and when she turns back, her signature headband is in place as she says, “No, but it’s what I’m going to do.” This is where we see an extended, more detailed version of the footage seen in the trailers, with Diana marching into battle. She throws off her coat to reveal her trademark armor, bracelets, lasso and shield, walks slowly up the ladder and into the line of fire. She starts off jogging, deflecting bullets with her bracelets, eventually taking out her shield to knock away a mortar. Her speed increases as does the gunfire, forcing her to duck behind her shield as a barrage of machine gun bullets ricochets in various directions.

>Diana deflects bullets back at the gunmen, sparks fly everywhere, leaving the rest of the soldiers to take advantage of the distraction she’s created by making their way across No Man’s Land. When Diana finally makes it to the machine gun, she obliterates the weapon with her shield, marking her first real victory in the war. But she has little time to celebrate as she leaps out of one trench and into yet another battle.

>What I like most about this scene is how fearless Diana seems, even in the face of insurmountable odds. It’s not because she’s cocky (she’s still mastering her strength and powers), but it’s because this is how she was raised. She heeds the call for a hero, even when she doesn’t have to be one.

Hmm maybe I haven't seen it yet. Still gotta admit that 90% of the genre is bad and would have gotten awful reviews 20 years ago

>reading the plot through the shill reporter lenses

no thanks

Yes
But is Arnold Zeus ?

The King of the foop and
The Queen of the floop

The Royalty Floop Together

This. I remember when reporters were invited to the JL set and they said yhe Bruce/Barry quirky exchange was pretty good.

Turns out it was the worst fucking part of that non-trailer.

>Ludendorff
>doesn't even have a moustache
what did they mean by this?

F

But he was in Hell or Highwater and that's critically acclaimed, who cares about money.

Also I think he's a pretty good actor but he seems really weird in interviews.

>3 flops
What? Strange Antman and Civil War? Pfft.
>IM LE MAN WHO CAN STOP THIS WAR XD

Thanks for the Cliffs notes Patty Jenkins

The Dark Knight Rises

For you.

>Aquaman early footage: PLEASE SAVE THE DCEU

>Is the DCEU saved?

Kek.

Reminder that DCEU will NEVER even come close to making TDK or Logan tier capekino.

>Is the DCEU saved?
>600 millions more than MCU by the third movie

lmao

>Kills his soldiers.
Fuckken dropped so hard. This bullshit should've stayed in the 90s where it belongs.

it's shit. kiling off all the Greek Gods offscreen is LAZY shit.
This isn't fucking God of War.

Marvel is safe. But they've made so much money of their safe shit they're willing to make massive loses on shit like Deadpool and Logan that it doesn't matter.

DC isn't safe. They have a literal goldmine of shit that requires safety to get the ball rolling. They have a mountain of material to choose from. Yet they rushed into shit and I don't know why. They're basically in a literal tank, something that should be impervious to all critics because of how solid the material they have to work with, but for some reason they have god damn retards in charge who are too scared to let directors direct (Synder) and get involved, or don't get involved enough and shit comes across as disjointed crap. So they're driving the tank along and somebody goes "HEY GUISE WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO?" and they launch smokes in the middle of a garage then go "OH SHIT REVERSE!" and in reversing they knock a support beam over and get covered in rubble.

That's what Suicide Squad was. Their "OH SHIT GUISE REVERSE! moment. The fact that Justice League and Wonder Woman apparently had reshoot problems is one thing, but I think it was greedy execs that ruined quality for DC.

Marvel shit is good. But it wasn't experimental. Now it is, because they've got their shekels. DC is trying to catch up for some reason when they should just go "That's Marvel. Let's stop trying to be the Beatles... Let's be Led Zeppelin instead!"

So has anyone seen Gadot in anything? Curious to know if she can act at all.

retard

>6. The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.

Cya in a few days.

>Latest Batman solo movie: Over 1 billion
>Latest Superman solo movie: Over 600 million
>Batman V Superman: 873 million
>Iron Man 3: Over 1 billion

So how does Iron Man makes more money than the most known superheroes of all time (Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman) with the two of the biggest comic book villains of all time (Lex Luthor and Doomsday)?

It doesn't need saving, but this is good too.

>comics
literally no one gives a shit about comics

People didn't go see Iron Man because he was a comic book character.
People don't go see Batman because they are Comic Book Fans

stop being a meme
