\"\"<\/a>
\nthe Wonder Woman who introduced me to the world of wonder women. Although we shall return to Lynda from time to time, the screenshots I have lined up are from the 2017 film starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, which I finally got around to watching in the summer of 2019 using an Amazon Prime trial, appropriately enough.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nStick them with the pointy end*<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNow that you’re all grown up, better register those hands as lethal weapons<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIf that’s not defensive body language, I don’t know what is<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAll that training in hamster wheels left on the cutting room floor<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAntiope’s work was never done<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nGood thing she’s just read a 12-volume treatise on the art of bodily pleasure<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo far this is ticking all the boxes in my fantasy island scenerio<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAre there any illicit videos from before he made it big, for us to judge for ourselves?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLittle<\/del> Big Steve is very persuasive that way<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nGood writing: he says what we’re all thinking<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMuch of the audience would like to liaise with you, Diana<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWait a minute, those don’t look like the bad guys<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI’m not sure they came with a laugh track<\/a>, either<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLooks like we picked the wrong beach to storm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo much slo-mo, so little time<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nConsider me well chastised<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNothing says #MeToo like a powerful woman in charge of other powerful women suddenly confronted by their first men, now sleeping with the fishes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOnly for the obligatory singles night of passion<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSomebody’s playing hard to get and it’s not me<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThird base can also be satisfying<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIf that’s his orgasm face, he’s a very fine actor indeed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThat was fast. Are you sure Themyscira<\/span><\/span> isn’t on the isle of Jersey or something?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI’m betting the prop master wasn’t even born when those were in fashion<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThere is a suspicious lack of twirling in the current era<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIf this is a movie made by women, we want more of same, please
\nAlternate caption: I’m sure you’re an Amazon at heart, Etta<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd we love light relief (if I don’t fast forward we’ll be here all day) (flashbacks to the 70s don’t count)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe band of sisters who live there might like some light relief too<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhat he heard: “I do”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWe love a tantalizing backstory explaining a villain’s mask and state of mental health<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSpoiler alert<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBut first there’s a lot more fighting to get through<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nYou Germans, such reliable evil-doers, hard to believe half of Britain will be crying over Brexit<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMy phallic symbol is bigger than yours<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFunny how that outfit never caught on with the resistance movement<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThanks, but I think the new gal’s got this covered<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt’s CGI, which if you know your Arthur C. Clarke<\/a>, means it’s close<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nOh, but being English, there was always a good chance you were going to be a baddie<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis isn’t in the same universe of filmmaking as Naked<\/a>, but the pay is much better<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHave you been talking to my mother?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwe would achieve box office dominance by capturing cult film lovers and DC Comics fans \u2013 would you like to see a Venn diagram?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nDeserve’s<\/a> got nothing to do with it<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBut like a sperm, I must complete my mission before la not-so-petite mort<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLet’s not get too deep here<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nKindly do not make me complicit in your pop culture homily-making machine<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI am woman, etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBruce Wayne is an available bachelor, isn’t he?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe wisdom of Athena…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI guess every generation needs a reminder<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo much world to save, so little time.<\/p>\n

It was a fun movie, but nutritionally suspect, like so many.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nShe said<\/a> \/ she said<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Growing up, I always wanted to be a Steve
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOh for the days when men were men, women were women, and phone booths were superhero changing rooms.<\/p>\n

Nothing to do with the above, except I caught The Upside<\/a> around the same time:\"\"<\/a>
\nPleasure earland \u2013 Bryan Cranston gets the Ferengi treatment<\/a><\/p>\n
