>“I feel very proud that finally this movie's being made, because ... All of you guys, all men, all boys, always have a figure to look up to whether it's Superman, or Batman, or Spider-Man, or whatever it is they always had heroes to look up to,” Gadot continued.
>“Girls, it's always the princesses. We're being saved, we're being passive, and finally Wonder Woman. She's fierce, she's proactive, she believes in herself, she believes through everything and that's a true moment for me.
It really pisses me off when Hollywood keeps saying that there has been no strong woman before and that Wonder Woman will be the first... REALLY?
>Alice and Jill Valentine from Resident Evil >Tomb Raider >Princess Leia >Ripley and even Harley Quinn These are WAY better characters than Wonder Woman imo.
Also, it angered hearing Gadot say in an interview that this movie will FINALLY show the "strong, beautiful side of woman".
Let's not forget that teens and young adults nowadays don't want a goody good character to relate to. That's why Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad was highly rated amongst young people because they like rebellious characters with some fire in them.
Jackson Morris
No one wants a feminist icon, what people want is a sexy Wonder Woman that's a slut. If this movie had a hot chick playing WW and the film was just 2 hrs of her "fighting" in the mud with other Amazonians, it would break box office records
Hunter Sanchez
>mfw it flops and they blame its failure on misogyny
Nolan Ramirez
>Fierce Yes slay queen!
Joseph Sanders
This guy gets it. Even girls like watching a female character act slutty because they see this type of behavior every day and are used to it.
It's a win win for the male and female audience
Thomas Hill
It's not really that upsetting Because I've heard women say it so many times plus I'm going to guess because she's from Isreal maybe she just doesn't know there are quite a few strong female role models that women just choose to ignore or forget about whenever they want to make this argument.
Matthew Sanchez
too progressive in the land of trump
Noah Reyes
/r/ing inflicting pain pasta
Jason Watson
>it would break box office records
Haha no, it wouldn't. They tried slutty, hot superhero lead chicks in the early 2000s and they were some of the most monumental box office failures of all time. Part of the reason why it took DC so long to even attempt a modern WW movie and why Marvel still hasn't done a Black Widow solo movie.
Carson Johnson
>that link in bottom of image >"PLEASE SEE MY MOVIE MALES" hahaha
Jonathan Cooper
Pretty much, no one would like Harley Quinn if she was "feminist". Everyone loved her in suicide squad, only out of touch fatties disliked her. If they actually gave WW some Harley Quinn type personality, people would be excited. Obviously she wouldn't be completely like HQ, but you get the idea. Get someone with fucking charisma
Xavier Carter
They trot this song and dance out every time there's a movie with a woman as the main character. I have no clue why they feel the need to pat themselves on the back every time they do this, like they're somehow the first.
Ryder Nelson
They've been trying for years to give women their own heroes. None of them have worked. Maybe little girls don't need heroes.
Samuel James
>Alice and Jill Valentine from Resident Evil nobody watches those films
>Tomb Raider oversexualised male eye candy, not feminist
>Princess Leia Nobody cares about dumb nerd shit
>Ripley women don't watch action movies
Colton Russell
>They tried slutty, hot superhero lead chicks in the early 2000s and they were some of the most monumental box office failures of all time. um not all. Alice in Resident Evil is the most top selling female super hero (well yeah she is basically a super hero)
James Howard
>only out of touch fatties disliked her. Actually false. I've seen many overweight girls on facebook looking up to Harley and even dressing up as her despite being overweight.
Nathan Wright
>rebellious characters with some fire in them.
Literally Dianna.
Jacob Davis
>women don't watch action movies
Does that mean the WW movie no matter how you cut it is dead on arrival?
Action movie girls won't watch, not an action movie men won't watch.
Joshua Reyes
This has got to be the biggest bait I've read today
Juan Cox
It's almost like they're hardwired to find the "princess" role more appealing, and boys are more drawn to the protector or rescuer role.
Connor Cruz
Really? Please tell me they don't dress up in short shorts too
Oliver Torres
Not Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman
Blake Bailey
>Please tell me they don't dress up in short shorts too they do. like I said even fat girls seem to like Harley as well
There was a fat girl on Tinder who had Suicide Squad as a like and I should have messaged her when we connected cos I liked her thighs but she didn't have a great face so I didn't...
STUPID JUDGEMENT ME!
Jacob Reed
and yet women continue to flock to romance flicks with the "hot guy"
women don't watch capeshit action movies, 12 year old boys and manchildren do
Nolan Edwards
Gender is a social construct
Oliver Thomas
She's just trying to sell her product to the goyim, you fucking sperg. Calm down.
Sebastian Martinez
>women don't watch capeshit action movies This. and yet Disney still pushes Rey as the dominant lead
Christopher Campbell
Wait, isn't wonder woman a princess?
Did this bitch even look at source material?
David Howard
Everyone watches them. Why do you think they make billions?
Gabriel Powell
You're not wrong, OP, but with the exception of Ripley, Leia, and Laura, all of those characters are in some way someone else's pawn or "experiment."
Hudson Rivera
You forgot to add: do girls run around with guns? Maybe some tom boys but most won't.
It pissed me off as a kid when I wanted to run around with my cousins and do fantasy action games but they would just sit on the couch and talk to my mother acting like grown woman.
REEEEEEEEEEEE WHY DO GIRLS HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS
Nicholas Butler
FUCKING MODEST GIRLS THAT ACT LIKE MATURE ADULTS GET THE FUCK OUT YOU NORMIES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Joseph Johnson
Can someone explain to me why every single modern female hero has to have her gender/sexuality as her defining trait. It's obnoxious how 99% of female characters constantly have to point out that they're a woman. Writing a good female character is more than just making them be superior to the man or always try to act tough.
Chase Long
ever hear of bartering?
i made a deal to play barbies if my cousin would play tmnt
Mason Ross
people today don't even realize that WW started and was popular because she was a soft core fetishist character based on betty page. Claiming she's a feminist icon is as silly as claiming Harley Quinn, the ultimate codependent psycho girlfriend, is one.
William Baker
LET GO OF MY HAND!
Cooper Ward
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE MORE MOVIES WHERE WOMAN DOMINATE MEN LIKE IN THAT THURSDAY MOVIE?
Christian Jones
...
Wyatt Rivera
Nevermind the fact that women are the heroes in nearly every single horror movie. Especially slasher flicks, the "final girls" and whatnot.
People are fucking retarded and say stupid shit, big whoop. What's new. No point getting angry over it, you can't change it.
Henry Jackson
its cool she feels that way, that girls need someone to look up to as well. shame she's an embarrassment and worst person for the job. she should leave the industry desu already. ugly flat whore
Isaac Reed
OMG every horror movie I watch it's always the woman who are the strongest and survive
You also forgot Teeth, about a woman who has vagina teeth and uses it to hurt men
Come on her brother didn't deserve to get his dick sliced off despite how evil he was
Zachary Morris
are girls incapable of looking up to men? are they saying boys only look up to men? don't girls look up to their fathers? do they only look up to their mothers? do they only look up to women? is this the level of a feminist brain?
"i didnt have a role model until i saw leslie jones in ghostbusters."
is this what they believe ANYBODY is saying, let alone young girls?
Carson Rogers
>girls need someone to look up to as well. They literally don't...
Evolution has made girls be more mature than men
Cooper Smith
Women watch them because their husbands, boyfriends, and sons do.
John Sanchez
>don't girls look up to their fathers? They do.
It's also the same argument when Hollywood says "We must cast a young kid in this movie so young boys can have someone to look up to"
BITCH I was like 12 and I could relate to Bruce Willis in Die Hard very well! I don't need any young kid to relate to. Same as James Bond movies I watched as a young kid
Blake Perry
My mom likes watching Grimm and no one made her watch it. Is it because of the main male actor or what? Never seen it before but doesn't it have monsters in it?
Sebastian Rogers
Because being a woman IS special.
Throughout history, mankind has prioritized female life in almost every conceivable way. Men are disposable, and have been for some time.
Sebastian Gonzalez
My mom watched Grimm from day 1, because she fucking loves anything fantasy and Sci-Fi. She loves superhero flicks, loves any sort of action movie in the vein of Die Hard, occasionally watches a chick flick here or there, and really digs Hallmark movies for some fucking reason.
I've no idea where the generalization that women only enjoy chick flicks, looking at cute guys, and hate anything of any sort of substance or anything that's "fun" comes from. My mom has always enjoyed both, but leaned WAY more to the side of "fun" stuff. Like, just a few of her favorites are The Fifth Element, Galaxy Quest, So my views on women and movies have never been so one-sided the way I see some people's are around here.
Camden Martin
Why does no one ever remember you, my love?

Landon Campbell
It won't flop, a lot of people have been looking forward to this movie for reasons completely unrelated to muh feminism and muh soggy knees.
Xavier Moore
Yes, quite a few people in my WW1 re-enactment group are going to see how accurate it is, first sign of inaccuracies and it's MASKS ON
Kevin Diaz
Why would Wonder Woman believe this though? Don't the Amazons hate men?
Juan Young

Asher Adams

Ryder Baker
They've never seen them before. At least not Wonder Woman's generation of Amazons, so they're more intrigued than anything. and you know they dtf like mad
Elijah Martinez

Bentley Nguyen
Funny how mentally healthy women while of course have a mind of their own are programmed to differentiate from males and carry the tipical female attributes.
No men will find a "strong independant women" attractive when "strong and independant" means confused by social ideologies while on a hormonal level still wants to be "dominated". These are basically the whores and disgusting women of our time.
Nolan Nelson
No they fucking haven't, ahaha, what are you fucking smoking
Chase Clark
>Implying the normies of today would know of Kino like that if it wasnt a comic adaption then they wont care till it is a reboot

Christian Perry
Dude WW is no hero she's just the Punisher with a skirt and better PR.
The one female hero I would let my daughter watch is Sailor Moon.
Michael Gray
Jesus christ THIS!
I just saw an article with Emma Watson saying that it's men who can't relate to female leads, and that women have no problem relating to men in films. And yet you never see men complaining. It's ALWAYS women going on about how they need more female characters to look up to and relate to.
Carter Gonzalez
And don't forget Japan where strong female leads are very very popular, yet they still have a culture where their women are very feminine. Women are still women.
Grayson Taylor
...
Blake Williams
Yes, Amazons hates men, all then Gadot has no idea what she's talking about. Someone wrote these lines for her.
Please, shut up. If you don't know the characters, don't speak.
Thomas Jackson
I mean hey, knock urself out. But dont expect us guys to go watch ur movie :>
Connor Morgan
>And yet you never see men complaining. Do you even read Sup Forums?
Nolan Martinez
>These are WAY better characters than Wonder Woman imo. debatable, but certainly better characters than this iteration of Wonder Woman.
not me. I don't want to support a bad Wonder Woman movie.
>Don't the Amazons hate men? in this movie. that doesn't seem to be the case since Hippolyta and Zeus fucked. and they didn't kill Steve Trevor on sight.
she seems to be a bit of an idiot, dbh.
Levi Gomez
They're already laying the groundwork for that excuse. They know it's going to be a disaster. There's a reason Marvel, who actually understand business, haven't done this yet. They know it will fail.
Jonathan Martinez
My feminist action hero icon growing up was Cynthia Rothrock.
Because I ACTUALLY WATCHED MOVIES GROWING UP.
Gadot showed she doesn't even like movies, never has.
Christian Gray
Is it ever possible for women to not act like wild animals?
>HURR GIRLS RULE >HURR PRIMITIVE TRIBALISTIC THOUGHT DURR
Dylan Cruz
Marvel covers all bases. That's all. They make a movie and it tries to hit all notes, sometimes it's a mess, but an entertaining one at least.
They are putting out a female capeshit soon.
But, they cast an Oscar winning actress in the lead. Not the most underwhelming side character from all of the Fast and the Furious movies. A proven actress who can carry a movie and has an established and respected body work (insert joke here), from series and movies.
Leo Moore
There's nothing ideal about misunderstanding your own gender's biological purpose and function. Gal Gadot as a warrior is as laughable as Arnold Schwarzenegger as a mother, and this movie is nothing more than an inversion of Junior.
Hunter Morris
Arnold probably put more work and research into that role than Gal did for Wonder Woman, he actually visited birthing clinics to observe how expectant mothers behaved.
Nathaniel Myers
What you mean
Christian Russell
Why isn't someone a role model to young girls unless she's pretending to be a man? >be feminist >vilify femininity
Matthew Evans
Gadot's English is just as terrible when reading it out loud
Levi Anderson
Besides Wondy and OG Lara Croft are there any characters who walked this difficult balance in their time?
Lincoln Morgan
Xena probably
>everyone on Themiscyra has a shitty accent to explain Gal's
Pretty smart
Ryan Powell
Why is Gal so fucking Based? >working people into sleepless nights over capeshit
Levi Torres
Any woman OR male who has seen movies in the past knows Wonder Woman isn't finally the female action hero girls were waiting for.
Its obvious Gadot is a model who is in movies as an exercise in vanity, she has no knowledge and therefore obviously no past appreciation for even the most banal cinema, action.
Henry Mitchell
But I thought Gadot is part of the Israeli army?
>A literally Pro Israeli Jewish woman YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP
Cooper Edwards
>But I thought Gadot is part of the Israeli army?
Typing of the Dead is the most action she's ever seen
Jaxon Barnes
Someone spread this to Arabs who are fans of super hero movies and tell them how extremist Gadot is
Brody Mitchell

I thought wonder woman was sort of like a female thor kind of character in the comics. Head strong, brash, loud. How is her character in the comics?
Owen Ramirez
My moms favourite movie is Goodfellas
Ayden Thomas

Sounds like you don't know anything about Thor in the comics either.
