By Hera! Come anticipate WONDER WOMAN 1984 with me!

FP

lol well there goes a lot of diligent avoidance of Rise of the Skywalkers spoilers so I could go into the movie with a semi-open mind

forks did you a favor there tbh

Washington DC geography nitpicking: After Diana and Steve leave the White House (1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW), why do they go to the Navy Memorial (700-900 Pennsylvania Ave.) to witness the riot and for Diana to renounce her wish? If they're on their way to Diana's apartment, they've gone in the wrong direction. Pennsylvania Ave. at that time was open to traffic and was a regular destination for protesters.

(Presumably the contemporary powers that be wouldn't allow the production to film in front of the White House.)

Otherwise I'm quite amused at the production's attention to the details of a bygone DC. Pity the reconstructed Commander Salamander (across the street from the historic storefront!) couldn't have reopened for a promo popup.

Another thing I don't get is, does Superman not exist in 1984? Wouldn't he be flying around trying to do something about the impending nuclear apocalypse?

Assuming WW84 is canonically continuous with Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, how old would Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne have been in 1984?

Do those movies even have years attached to them?

I thought Affleck was playing older than his actual age, given the artificially-greyed hair, so he would have been near the beginning of his bat career

forgot which thing mentioned it but he probably wished for his parents to be alive and then lost 'em all over again

lmao I would have liked to have seen that

It would have been like that sequence in Teen Titans Go! To The Movies

ha, yes!

Best superhero movie, that

there goes a lot of diligent avoidance of Rise of the Skywalkers spoilers

“people audibly groan” / “an eye-roll for some” doing a lot of work in that... amusing analysis. Guess she’s not a Star Wars fan!

she's been an entertainment reporter for The Verge and Polygon for the past five years with a specialty focus on Disney; i daresay she's watched and knows more about star wars than you or i do!

I’ve only read the paragraphs you quoted but they don’t seem to make sense (the jibes at SW aside). Disney is investing hugely in new content for D+ specifically because “the library” alone doesn’t retain members. The library is thin... if you’ve had D+ for a year and have kids, you’ve seen it all already!

you know who really has that D+? Steve Trevor, amirite

Steve Trevor's hapless 80s avatar, you mean

so like if he took over someone else's body, were they just along for the ride, with no body autonomy?

if so, I guess the only enjoyable parts were sexxin' with Wonder Woman, the rest abject terror.

lmao I would also watch that movie

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH oh hey sexy time AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Seriously. Body swap victim dude probably woke up with some really impressive bruises.

"I had this really weird dream where I was getting the shit kicked out of me by... Rumpleteaser?"

Steve Trevor's hapless 80s avatar, you mean

I didn't even make it to Trevor getting mentioned, but if she's still pining for the D after one ride on it 70 years ago...

Hey, come on, D+.

It's D+ now

I see some factions have started to insinuate people who don't like the movie are sexist.

lol i didn't realize Maxwell Lord was in this. is he a presence in the JLA movie too?

nah they use his name for no obvious reason and burn him to the ground in this one

Solo is basically the only good Star Wars movie made post-1983
