WONDER WOMAN TRAILER
Jul. 24th, 2016 12:00 pmTHIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING. Not just visually with the cinematography (the shots are absolutely stunning, like holy shit) but also with with use of the color palette, which I am so utterly thankful for since that was my main worry initially if it was going to follow the other DCU movies in making it too dark and gritty to actually see anything, but thank fuck it doesn't seem to; it has a good mixture of the serious tone of the WWI grit and the vivid use of colors that pop out at other moments, from Diana in that bright blue dress to the bright outdoors to seeing the actual colors of her Wonder Woman outfit. Also, the action sequences? The fight scenes? LIKE WHAT. I AM SO HERE FOR ALL OF THAT AND FOR DIANA TO JUST FUCK SHIT UP. AND THEN THE "IS SHE WITH YOU?" THEME (A.K.A. THE NOW OFFICIAL WONDER WOMAN THEME) STARTED UP AT THE END. I AM SO READY AND HYPE FOR THIS.
Seriously though, this is such a huge deal because Wonder Woman is finally coming to the big screen after all this time, we have waited so long, so long. It honestly shouldn't have taken this long for any female superhero movie to have been made. But here we are, with Wonder Woman at the helm of hopefully more to come and opening that window for more opportunities for women superheroes to get their own movies and franchises, and it is going to be glorious.
Not only that, but we actually got our first look at Justice League, also featuring Wonder Woman as part of the team. I'll be honest, I'm mostly here because of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa as Aquaman (seriously though, look at that man, he is all unff), but their version of Barry Allen is just as hilariously adorable as the television show's actor. Well done.
So many things are coming out from SDCC, but this is what I'm most hyped for.

Date: 2016-07-24 07:08 pm (UTC)My hope is that the bits if levity in the trailer indicate that the movie itself won't be as grimdark as the other DC films before,I'm so over it *sigh*
Aquaman was my fave part of the JL trailer. Ever since they announced Jason Momoa's casting,I'm ridiculously excited for JL and his solo movie :D

Date: 2016-07-24 07:25 pm (UTC)I'm hoping so too. I don't mind grimdark when used appropriately, but DC has been oversaturated with it that the trend seriously needs to stop, and I'm crossing my fingers that this does break that particular cycle. The use of colors in this trailer pleasantly surprised me, and I'm hoping it remains that way for the actual film when it comes out.
Jason Momoa is perfect for Aquaman. Like, just look at him. I also can't wait for his solo movie, either.

Date: 2016-07-24 11:59 pm (UTC)When I heard that Jason was cast as Aquaman I knew it was very fitting, but this further proves just how much I'm gonna love seeing him. I mean, he's not just gorgeous as fuck but he has that presence of power and I cannot imagine anyone else for this role that commands such attention to the screen. Hot damn.

Date: 2016-07-25 06:23 pm (UTC)Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be getting a Black Widow movie anytime soon. Or at all. I know there's been mentions of it being considered, but it's just all talk with no follow-through. At least Captain Marvel will be getting her own solo movie soon, so there's that. Although imho, I feel like Natasha deserves her own television series than a movie, I think her story would fit much better in that medium.

Date: 2016-07-26 02:35 am (UTC)I mean, we've literally waited decades for a Wonder Woman movie to finally be made. I hope it doesn't take that long for any other female superhero movies to be greenlit in the future.

Date: 2016-07-27 10:00 pm (UTC)That trailer is amazing. I've never been that interested in Woman Woman before, but I'm ready to be made into a fan. Every time her theme comes on, I get pumped!

Date: 2016-07-28 12:17 am (UTC)But holy FUCK I am EXCITED FOR THIS. I've been excited since it was announced, and then got excited again when I saw pics from filming and now this is SO AMAZING I'm SO HAPPY.
And pretty pissed that my precious Marvel still hasn't given me my Black Widow movie yet but DC can get their shit together for Wonder Woman. Their loss, but our win. I know WW is going to make BANK and will hopefully absolutely show Marvel that not only will women make money but they'll break records *fingers crossed*

Date: 2016-07-28 07:21 am (UTC)Sadly, even if Wonder Woman does prove that women superhero solo films can succeed and there is serious demand for them and that people will see them, I doubt Marvel will budge for a Black Widow movie. If they do, it'll probably be about a decade down the line and probably might be pushed back even further because of whatever they decide to add to the lineup in the near future (like they did with Captain Marvel and Black Panther for yet another Spider-Man movie). It's really shitty that after being in practically five movies, Natasha has yet to get her own solo movie when she rightfully deserves it. If anything though, I would personally prefer her to have a series on Netflix which can allow her story to be told. But that's just me.

Date: 2016-07-30 04:01 am (UTC)YES. OMG YES, I want this so bad. Mostly because I find her character so utterly fascinating, and Elizabeth Olsen can definitely be given her own solo project, whether it's a film or a television series in expanding Wanda's arc. I'm very curious about everything she's going through, her psychological and emotional state with her powers, with the loss of her brother, etc.
