Wonder Woman

[Thomas]

Well, there's the costume for the show. I am neither impressed nor unimpressed though I must say she's gonna bounce out of that top in all the action scenes and that'll be something.

SyFy is reporting that NBC did not pick up Wonder Woman. The more I heard about it the more I think this was a wise decision.

Fan-cast favorite Jamie Alexander has some very interesting things to say about Wonder Woman and why she continues to pass on the role. I think I agree with all or most of what she has to say.

[quote="Jamie Alexander"]I used to be [interested], but then I’ve seen how many failed attempts there have been in making it. It’s embarrassing for me as a woman, seeing what they did with that TV show. It had nothing to do with that amazing actress Adrianne Palicki. Let’s talk about this for a second. You have very few female superheroes dominating films these days, unless they’re in a skin tight outfit and their boobs are pushed up to their chin. And it’s not okay. It’s not. All she does is sit and eat ice cream while she’s crying over a boy. I know that never aired, but that’s what the script said.

There needs to be a positive role model. If you’re going to make ‘Wonder Woman,’ make it like ‘The Bourne Supremacy. Let’s do something awesome like that. Like ‘Alias.’ That was a fantastic show. Why can’t we do that? Why does she have to be in hot pants and spandex? I get it, it’s visually stunning for half of the people, but at least make her grow a pair!â€

Wonder Woman should be a character that little girls can dress up as on Halloween without it being weird.

I think something along these lines would be perfect for a live action movie.

It keeps enough of the sexual appeal, but not enough to be truly exploitative (kinda like the TDKR Catwoman costume).

[king_ghidorah]

Actually man that's a great costume!!!

Edit* It's also kind of crucial that they give her more of a character beyond "The Woman Superhero".

[The Real McCoy]

I would totally go for that look.

As for women superheroes, I also think there ought to be more out there. It seems that it would create kind of a more comfortable balance, I dunno. I've never read a WW comic, but I really would love to see her in a live-action setting, more so than any other super-heroine.

My other view is that women don't have to show a bunch of skin to be sexy or beautiful. I'm not saying I don't like it at all, but I hate the "pure sex appeal" characters in movies nowadays (Transformers, Battleship, I'm lookin' at you). I've changed a lot in the last several years, and I've got to the point where a woman doesn't have to have her boobs or ass hanging out to be sexy. It's how she presents herself on-screen (or in real-life, for that matter) that dictates true beauty. I know that sounds poorly philosophical, but that's the best way I can think to put it.

It's stuff like Catwoman's bad-assness and inner dilemma and Wonder Woman's values and general misunderstanding of the outside world, or Ms. Marvel's duty-stricken personality that I find most interesting about those characters. The curves don't hurt their characters at all, but they don't make them either.
