The new Wonder Woman movie looks awesome.
It also looks like it will make a billion dollars.
Of course we’ve all been told that men won’t see movies with staring female roles or featuring strong wamynz.
That’s why the Ghostbusters reboot tanked. Not because it sucked. It was the hatred of the wamynz.
I will put even money on this being the highest grossing super hero movie of 2020.
I will also put even money on the same people who defend the Ghostbusters reboot saying that the Wonder Woman movie ONLY made money because Gal Gadot is beautiful by “conventional cis-hetero-patriarchal standards” (which she totally is) and that men paid to see the move only to ogle her.
In essence, the same misogyny that made the Ghostbusters reboot flop made Wonder Woman a blockbuster.
The only thing that those people do more than suck at telling compelling stories is be tediously predictable.
Still, Wonder Woman 1984 looks like something I’ll be renting when it comes to Direct TV.
Black Widow is due out in May. Comic nerds, like myself, have been begging for a solo film featuring Scarlet Johansen’s since her casting as the character was rumored during the 2008-09 preproduction of Iron Man 2…
But, yeah, misogynist incel comic nerds hate the idea of female leads in action-adventure films.
Yeah, you just have to laugh at that whole “men hate strong women” idea. Back during filming, I read Gal Gadot saying it was a lot of fun to work on. That probably helps make for a better movie. I’ll be catching it when it makes it here. Black Widow first, then WW.
