Exhibit A to the counter-argument.

Even the glorious Gal Gadot can't save this shameful superhero sequel
“Wonder Woman 1984” director Patty Jenkins sought inspiration from an unlikely source.
“Superman III.”
Yes, that scorned sequel leaned into the franchise’s funny bone with tragic results. Co-star Richard Pryor’s career never fully recovered. Nor did the “Superman” series.
Jenkins isn’t done with her super homage, though. She also evokes the sub-par effects and Kumbaya tone of “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.”
Yes, “Wonder Woman 1984” takes its ‘80s nostalgia so seriously it cribs from not one but two of the decade’s worst superhero films.
Jenkins isn’t done besmirching what should have been the next great superhero franchise. She trots out a heaping helping of female victimhood, adds some de rigueur Trump bashing and mocks President Ronald Reagan for good measure.
What’s left is, without a doubt, is 2020’s worst film.

How could we not all know another “woke” production would be just another cinematic POS? Come on, man!
Garbage.
Remember the sequel to The Day The Earth Stood Still?
Turns out the aliens were upset w us cause of climate change
Stupid
Exhibit A to the counter-argument.
I would offer these observations:
1. The script was two-star at best. Reminded me of the Green Lantern attempt.
2. I don’t think Gadot will repeat on this series, and it’ll be put to rest for four years until they can regroup and do it differently.
3. On the woke-level....I’d give it a ‘7’ and that probably hurt the movie more than anything else. Maybe we’ve reached the level of movie production where Star Wars, Justice League, Space Balls, etc....can’t be made without fantastic levels of wokeness. If so, then it’s a pretty lousy future ahead of us.
Yeah the first TDTESS was a leftist story having to do with nuclear weapons proliferation. The second one Gore-Bull worming. But both leftist Goebels propaganda
The only reason I know this person’s name is there was a racehorse named “Wonder Gadot” in the past three or so years. Lemme guess, is this the type of movie where women beat up men and impressionable types think this is reality?
Brain dead and stupid is an epidemic these days and anything resembling a product from them is garbage at the onset. Marvel, DC have been infected, bye bye
Think I'd rather buy a decent used DVD set of the 1970s TV series, lol.
How do you like them apples?
I can’t wait to not see it!......................1984 = CLUE.....................
Never heard of her...................
Melons not apples, JMHO. %>)
Hollywood: ‘woke’ to the point of being in a coma.
To me, it’s amazing how DC products can’t sell now, unless you are talking Batman.
Exactly. I heard the same thing about “Justice League” and despite the sad attempt at a villain, really enjoyed that.
It can have no plot and anti-Trump inferences all day and I can tune it out to watch her.
Yes, but the first is still entertaining....
The hard truth on this is that Gal Gadot is a knockout with charisma, but her acting is mediocre, and it’s painfully obvious that English is at best a second language for her.
And that will change once the new Batman comes out with a Black Batman.
New Batman will be black, DC Comics announces
Let me guess, he becomes Batman after his parents are killed in Gotham coming from a Subway at 2am by White guys wearing MAGA hats.
