And Diana understands that while humanity can be evil and doesn't deserve saving it's not about what humans deserve echoing what Steve said. Diana going God mode because they killed Trevor would have been more impactful (but I like the TC ending as well). This is an increase of 3.5 million from the 38.5 million they had at the end of Q3, and nearly 7 million increase in 2020. That was deemed "to scarry". The box office records it has shattered will do more good for future movies of this ilk than … This kind of post-credits sequence (probably) doesn’t set-up a future sequel for another Wonder Woman movie, but instead, is a kind of gateway drug designed to send you back to … But I am very curious what the original ending would have been. At the end of Death Metal #7, Wonder Woman died. The last fight was obviously terrible; Ares had a mixed bag of random powers, Wonder Woman wins with the power of an unrelated personal revelation. 78 votes, 579 comments. It also felt like the film didn't really know what to do with its ending; the war was over, but we all know a second one is coming, how does that fit into Wonder Woman killing Ares?

Well, really just one spoiler.In fact, you don’t need to have seen Wonder Woman 1984 streaming on HBO Max to understand the real significance of the super-secret post-credits sequence. Dr. All these are valid criticisms. No one ever talks about the ending of Wonder Woman except to say how it isn't very good. Just last week the a guy on the Movie Maintenance podcast pitched an alternative script where one of the changes was making Steve Trevor a German instead, and Diana slowly realised that the allies weren't pure evil. The subsequent scene in the village then would have both German, French and English soldiers hanging out together (sort of like the true events of the Christmas Truce), which maybe could have led to a more interesting finale where Ares gets everyone to start fighting again. I just hate the "bad guy at the end" thing. Or perhaps preventing an American soldier from killing a German one who is at his mercy. That person never gave consent of any kind and yet Wonder Woman totally bones the body that her boyfriend is possessing. After all, it is a fight between Wonder Woman and the god of war. For all three creators, one thing is clear: this is a dream gig. While most superhero movies are about saving the world and beating up the bad guys at the end, Wonder Woman movies are all about showing the world that peace, love, and kindness are the true keys to overcoming evil. The studio-mandated ending … Posted by 1 year ago. 10 votes, 11 comments. Ask me anything. According to several people who have seen the movie, the mid-credit scene to Wonder Woman 1984 stars Lynda Carter, who played the … The No Man’s Land scene was by far the best part of the film for me but I can’t help but wonder how much more powerful that scene would have been if that was the moment Diana realized that both sides were equally violent/corrupted by Ares and she used her power to force a ceasefire between them. That German general guy would probably have been a much better Ares than Ares (and was way more interesting anyways in his brief interaction with Diana than the actual Ares). Review: Wonder Woman 1984 Is a Sadly Disappointing End to 2020 2 out of 5 fanny packs. That’s a good point about the final battle. I hope we one day get the OG scenes. The twist; why do so many films feel the need to put a completely unforshadowed twist at the end? Diana basically being a murderer, less connection to Steve and the larger messages of the movie, Ares becomes a cloud. Even at the end of the film where she’s battling Ares the humans don’t really seem to pay attention (as if they’ve already seen dozens of superhero flicks like we have). I bet WW had a smaller fight with Ares to resolve that aspect of the story, and studio execs felt the fight needed more pizzazz. Well, it looks as if Future State: The Immortal Wonder Woman #2 from DC Comics has been taking notes from The Immortal Hulk.

She helps WW get a dress and then plans out their mission to take out Ludendorf. I recently watched Wonder Woman for the second time since seeing it in theatre and now that the dust has settled a bit on how great it was to have a female-driven superhero film directed by a woman, I have to say it really wasn’t that great of a film. It turns out that director Patty Jenkins is also not overly fond of that ending either. Patty said the ending was supposed to be smaller. The biggest issue with this movie for me is something you touch upon here that I would elaborate upon. 361. So, it’s what happens to Wonder Woman … It just made it really hard for me to take her serious as a warrior character who’s going to save humanity, which sort of brings me to my next point; Diana believed mankind was good by nature, but corrupted by Ares, which literally everyone except her knows is not true. Cool. In fact, I found myself struggling the sit through the whole thing a second time. It also didn’t help that after Diana leaves, there’s no feedback to her world in the rest of the film, the film just kind of forgets about it, and so did I. Diana’s naivety really crossed the point of annoyance and became cringeworthy at times; I thought the contrast between things she did know about (languages, books on sex) and things she was completely clueless about (marriage) was pretty arbitrary, but I especially disliked how she seemed to have no social awareness whatsoever and constantly needed Steve to grab her by the arms to explain her how silly she’s being. Press J to jump to the feed. SPOILER ALERT: Gal Gadot stuns in Wonder Woman 1984 as a VERY special cameo in the end credits has fans buzzing.

And what was up with that random jump to action in the final shot? I don't know, and frankly I don't care. I know the big CGI battle is overdone, but it's a superhero movie about a demigod and an actual god. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. There was just so much micro-conflict going on that as a viewer I felt like I had barely had time to really connect to Diana or the world she lived in (although it did look beautiful). I don't know why the ending is difficult to understand. So I know that originally ares wasn’t supposed to be a cgi monster, his original concept art designs look fantastic.

Most of them, including Wonder Woman, to me fall in the category of being ‘serviceable to okay’. That really only works with the benefit of hindsight and ignores the historical perspective of the time in which The Great War was already the greatest war the world had ever seen. The Wonderful . Wonder Woman, as a whole, is a massive success story. Young Diana (8-9?) The recruitment scene in the bar was absolutely sleep-inducing and I wished they would have cut them out altogether to spend more time on things that really matter like the opening or the trenches. And what was Ares’ plan really? It could still have more secondary characters but at least have them arise naturally out of the story (like a captain/soldier in the trenches or something) instead of this ‘we’re gonna spend the next 10 minutes searching for eccentric individuals even though you’re not really gonna care about them anyways’.

I don't want a superhero movie to delve too deep into such themes and analyze who is at fault for what in WWI, but the way the film was set-up there could've been a moment when Diana realizes: Hey, these German I'm killing aren't bad guys, they are not the problem/the ones causing all this and then focuses on not killing them.

A month after Wonder Woman's theatrical release, at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Bros. officially announced that a Wonder Woman sequel was on the way. Wonder Woman fighting more fierce: This is another thing I wanted to see, Wonder Woman was fierce in Batman v Superman and then watered down (and God-powered towards the end… Evil Wonder Woman… Etta Candy is just like how she seems in the trailers. The movie depicts the Germans so much as the bad guys that I literally thought the story took place in WWII.
