It irritates me that people object to Gal Godot’s casting as Wonder Woman on the basis of looks (“Too pretty!” “Too skinny!”) but then praise Charlize Theron as Furiosa. Let’s be real here: Theron is a gorgeous and slender actress. They cast a gorgeous and skinny woman as Furiosa. I know the characters look and are presented very differently, but Diana really is not presented as or treated like eye-candy in the movie and I object to the idea that Furiosa is the ideal heroine or the only way heroines should be, especially since this judgment is based only on looks. Diana has an amazing degree of conviction, compassion, and sense of purpose (in an altruistic way) compared to Furiosa (it’s not Furiosa’s fault - she lives in a post-apocalyptic hell-hole). I love both characters so much and I am so glad they are different because that’s want I want: amazing heroines that are not all carbon copies of each other.

I liked both characters. Though as to why Diana stirred up more discussion than Furiosa, the reason is obvious enough: Wonder Woman is a comic book character and comic book fans are a very passionate, obsessive bunch. In fairness, while it is irritating every time they're all Chicken Little over every new comic book movie, I somewhat understand why. You ever look over the history of superhero adaptations? It's a long, depressing slog. Comic book fans had to endure a lot, before people in the movie biz were like, "Y'know on the surface, these characters are kind of serious, but at the same time, there is a reason people love and care about them. Maybe we should respect them and the source material."
