Kal El, no!

kal-el no? thats probably her best line. she probably got nepo her way into hollywood, her acting is bad as the rock, and rock has his political leanings quite questionable too. probably shoe-horned into hollywood as a cheerleader back home.

I don't think it was nepoism, it's just that Hollywood had like a 5 year phase when they tried to jam actual super models into lead roles. Remember Cara Delevigne and Ruby Rose, they can't act to save their lives, but were all a thing for a second or two.

Edit: I know calling Ruby Rose a super model is a stretch too.

There's a scene in one of the DC movies where a german sniper is hiding ontop of a church in a french village

Ever the pillar of restraint and decorum, Wonder Woman takes down the entire fucking church to kill this one soldier.

It's a scene so over the top with needless destruction of a beautiful historical landmark, and you wonder what the filmmakers were trying to say with it.

This is pretty silly. Superhero movies constantly feature superheroes and supervillains causing mass property damage. Superman will be thrown through buildings. Cars will be used as throwing weapons, etc.

It's a deliberate cinematic choice. Superheroes just flying in the sky punching each other doesn't convey the power involved in these characters. No, if you want to portray superheroes in a way that actually feels real to people, you need to show them interacting with our ordinary world. You show them treating things we experience as solid, indestructible, and immobile as mere tissue paper.

This is just "show, don't tell." Sure, you could have some character verbally explain that "Superman has the strength of a million men!", but if all you saw was Superman fighting in a cloud or an empty field, that wouldn't really mean much. You can't feel it. Watch Superman casually pick up a skyscraper, and suddenly your mind can actually grasp the scale of his power.

Hollywood is fully integrated into the military-industrial complex. Inflicting disproportional damage on the population of whoever the enemy is is how The Great US Empire wages war. So that is what the population at home is meant to support. So that is what is shown to the young, easy to influence generations.

I was pretty disgusted with the first movie she was in. The original wonder woman movie.

She was this super powered killing machine just WASTING humans left and right. Just seemed insanely fucked up.
