The actress begged for the role MNUCHIN Secretary of US TREASURY produced the film both are zionists but the comic book author was trying to make Feminism more powerful than Superman long before invaders took over Palestine. ...rent or buy the movie: THE PROFESSOR AND HIS WONDER WOMEN the true life story @ Harvard Radcliffe and NYC

The creator based Wonder Woman on his wife and their female lover. Watch "Professor Marston & The Wonder Women" to see the story. They were kinky. The creator saw both women as strong women and just incorporated their kink into it. The comic book when it first started out had people being tied up constantly until the creator started getting less and less control of his creation. What she is now is very tame compared to what she was, but she was always meant to be an admired strong woman.

Very simple sex sells no matter what the context it's sad but that's the reality

Wonder Woman wasn't a sexual kitten. She's played by a smokin hot actress for a few reasons. First, people like watching attractive actors/actresses. Second, anyone who trains and fights for most of their life is going to be in incredible shape. Third, she looks like the character she's based on. Just like Thor, iron man, and all the others.

There is almost no sex in the movie, there is no sexualization beyond her being attractive. The fact that you think there is, is ludicrous. Complain about justice league by all means, but Wonder Woman was well done.

She was invented a long, long time ago. All super hero's are "sexy". It's part of the genera because physically attractive people sell more products than dumpy ones. We find people physically attractive because that is what modern society and science have decided what physical beauty is. I don't understand why people get so mad at movies.

It makes financial sense. If she is sexy then more people will buy tickets. Very few people go to see character actors.

Why? Because sex sells. From Hollywood blockbuster action films geared towards men with tacked on female eye candy to trashy female-centric "so called" plot driven porn novels like Fifty Shades Of Gray. So long as it puts a shit ton of money in somebody's pocket, that dynamic will never change.

That is just Hollywood.

agreed. start with the outfits

its all about money. never forget that.

I agree.

I couldn't understand why all those women were claiming the movie was uplifting to women..it was nothing but Amazon women warriors dressed like porn stars.

Leather, boots, exposed thighs and busts, leaps into the air while spinning with crotches toward the camera (gross!), long, curly, loose hair for warriors (yeah, right), and in the end, it turns out Wonder Woman's success wasn't from her training, or womanly strengths..turns out she was a god - could blast other gods dead, and fly.

Right.
That's an attainable goal for our little girls to aspire to.

I did not see her as being a "sexual kitten"! I saw her responding with intelligent curiosity to a totally new situation.

I recorded it last night but am waiting to watch with my granddaughter. The kids and I am very much into the super hero/mutant thing

Wonder Woman was created in the 1940s, so I think the movie makers had to be somewhat faithful to her image as it has been through the decades. She is a comic book character, and was created for a mostly male audience, I think.

I like to think that things are getting better when it comes to women in movies. I wish there were more movies like Hidden Figures.

I don't think I would like a world where all women acted like 'just people' I'm picturing a world full of all women having the sex appeal of my mother. Which is to say none from my point of view but I am thrilled my dad saw her as a sex object or I wouldn't be here. Go mom and dad you sexist pigs!

I've not seen "Wonder Woman", yet. I don't see anything unusual about a woman who is sexual AND strong. Isn't the fact that women mature a fetus into an infant that is born through a lot of pain a sign of strength?

Umm .... Because most humans are sexual beings .... I'm not being fair, for the sake of being "funny" .... Sort of.

But yeah, Superman could look more like a regular Joe too.

But where's the fun in that???

Still you have a point, few people look like those characters and that unrealistic ideal promotes a lot of mental self harm.

What kind of comments do women make about Thor? That he is strong? Noble enough to wield the Mjolnir?
