It's confirmed that Wonder Woman 1984 is an anti-Donald Trump movie, which is something I've said about the movie for a while now.
And I'm guessing that is the real reason "they" wanted it released in December and didn't want to wait until next June where "they" said the June release would be stale, which is because WW84 is getting released during the election.
The confirmation Wonder Woman 1984 is anti-Trump comes from the reviews for the movie that are now out as press screenings were held and the press are allowed to post reviews.
In their Wonder Woman 1984 review, Collider offers (no spoilers), "I Wish This Were a Better Movie."
"Patty Jenkins’ sequel is a well-intentioned but sloppy punch against Trumpism," says the reviewer.
The reviewer also happens to be anti-Trump (surprise) and offers: "Jenkins makes no secret to what she’s aiming for with her movie. Set in the 1980s, she depicts a world of excess, self-entitlement, and indulgence, and Lord is a distinctly Trumpian figure with his reliance on mass media and conning others to amass more power (although Lord differs from Trump by genuinely loving his child and not just seeing his offspring as an extension of his own vanity)."
The review also offers "the execution is atrocious," "the movie doesn’t fare much better with Barbara," and "Wonder Woman 1984 becomes even more muddled when you simply try to understand what Max Lord is up to."
In an interview back in August, Jenkins also confirmed that Pedro Pascal's (who recently called half the Star Wars fans nazis because they support Trump) Max Lord is in part inspired by Donald Trump.
"He's one of them," Jenkins confirmed when asked if Trump influenced the villain of the film. "Trump's definitely one of the people we looked at, but it's any of those kind of mavericks of business success that was big in the '80s. Who went on to be major players in our world in potentially questionable other ways."
The good news for AT&T, WarnerMedia and Patty Jenkins is that they don't have to worry about the Trump supporters going out to see the film, as WarnerMedia is releasing the flick in theaters and on the HBO Max streaming service the same day, so if it doesn't do well in theaters, it really doesn't matter.
To boot, WarnerMedia paid Jenkins and the cast as if the movie made a billion dollars at the box office in order to get them to sign off on the HBO Max release.
While I haven't seen the movie yet, it seems that Wonder Woman 1984 has fallen into the same trap as all of Hollywood's feminist and liberal projects, as the story is sacrificed for the sake of an agenda.
Jenkins is now at Disney with Star Wars.
Wonder Woman 1984 also stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen.
Woke white broads ruin everything they encounter
They were WAY into BDSM in the original 40s comics
Prick.
The first one was boring as hell, cant imagine this one would be any different.
Hubbah-hubbah... Gotta love the classics. :)
They really should worry, those 73 million MAGA voters are consumers, not liberal free riders.
Wonder Woman is expected to bomb for 2 reasons. Poor writing, see the trailer and you will see that it will bomb and two the movie will be on hbomax which is not big enough to generate the returns that this expensive movie needs.

Why is Wonder Woman 1984 a humiliating flop? After all, the original Wonder Woman was a huge hit that grossed $413 million domestic and another $409 million overseas. So what happened to all the goodwill?
Well, I think two things…
The first is that the original Wonder Woman just isn’t a very good movie...
I just watched it again a few days ago and while I wasn’t a big fan to begin with, it was an even worse experience the second time. A real waste of time.
You take Gal Gadot out of Wonder Woman and replace her with one of Hollywood’s generic starlets, and Wonder Woman’s got nothing. Gadot is a one-in-a-million find who holds that terrible movie up all on her own, and after first blush, it just isn’t enough.
So there’s that, the slow-draining of goodwill toward the quality of the original, and then you have the Woke factor, which is pure box office poison.
Hollywood’s Woketards have already killed six film franchises: Birds of Prey, Charlie’s Angels, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Men in Black, and Star Wars.

Nevertheless, for whatever lunatic reason, director Patty Jenkins decided to make Wonder Woman 1984 woke with a Donald Trump stand-in for her villain.
Who...wants to see that? Trump supporters don’t want to see that, and there are right around 75 million of us. And those Trump-haters, who aren’t already sick of the guy, get their Trump-bashing fill 24/7, 365 days a week on TV, in the news, Late Night — it’s everywhere!
Oh, and guess who’s directing the next Star Wars movie?
Patty Jenkins!
Brilliant.

Watch later.
