…(especially) to us unmaking fans.
Post 1 (of 2) for today!
Well, yesterday I wrote a small article on Behind the mask.
For those of you who aren’t a member on that great panel (you should be), here it is:
Well, of course she doesn’t wear a mask, but this movie is VERY important on a bigger scale for us unmasking fans!
Why? Well, how many “superhero”-movies with a female lead we got until now? VERY, very few…. and all have one thing in common: They are crap (more or less)! Elektra, Ultraviolet, Catwoman, Aeon Flux…
This movie is the first real big budget movie with a superheroine, it must be a success! Because if it fails, the studios are getting even more afraid to make a hero movie with a female lead. And if it is a success…. it may encourage them to make more movies! More movies with heroines….more movies with masked heroines! I will see that movie in the cinema, and you all should too! It could open the door to a bunch of great movies.
And for the movie itself: Well, Wonder Woman is cool. And I love this World War 1 setting. Very interesting!
And for the trailer… I love it! Your opinion on all of this?
I think there is hope. If anything…the people that seem to get it is the CW network. With shows like Flash, Arrow and Supergirl….I’m sure more shows are to follow.
I am puzzled when the choice of actress to play Wonder-woman. She seems a little thin for that role. Even if it took a little weight compared to Batman V Superman. It’s just if she is credible. But why have they not chosen Gina Carano ?
By cons if they try to sell us Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) as Captain Marvel I would not go see this movie. It would be a scam, as if they put the female-Thor in the next Thor. Captain Marvel is Genis-Vell or possibly his father Mar-Vell, the two generations could appear in one film, as Ant-Man. Oddly, Captain Marvel has had only female replacements : Photon (Monica Rambeau), Phyla-Vell (Martyr) or Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers). But it is only of temporary replacements, as Ben Reilly and Miles Morales for Spider-Man. We want to see the original in movie, not a copy.
Can’t wait Wonder woman movie
