Re: WONDER WOMAN!!!

[(Anonymous)]

If people are really concerned about what the character will be like (as opposed to what she will look like), they should be yelling at Zach Snyder and David Goyer and the screams should be something like, "You'd better get this right you bastards or so help me!!!" Good writing and directing can coax great performances out of even bad actors. We don't even know if Gal is bad; she's new and Hollywood likes to cast her in 'hot chick' roles, which is not her fault.

But so far, all I see are comments directed at Gal Gadot and 99% of them appearance-related.

I don't see how "this woman isn't right for Wonder Woman" isn't a criticism of the casting.

Secondly, a better script isn't going to save someone who can't act. I just haven't seen any evidence that she can do more than recite lines. Which is, again, not any kind of moral failing on her part.

How is this different from everyone complaining about Ben Affleck as Batman? I saw a similar level of complaining if not more (because more people care about Batman).

Re: WONDER WOMAN!!!

Because her name is still the only one attached to those complaints. You can say, "Oh, and implied in this is a complaint about the director," but no one actually says it outright. We need to do that, name the right names, if we want the right people to take notice of the criticism. Personally, I find the Batfleck comments equally inane because I see little reason why he couldn't do a good job if he works at it. We should be encouraging him to do so. But at least those complaints aren't disproportionately geared toward tearing down his looks.

Gal Gadot hasn't been in a lot of things. Her biggest role to date was in FF, and obviously the director wasn't big on getting anything resembling a nuanced performance out of the character, so what could we expect? I just think the way thing is unfolding is a bit shit, is all. Imagine you're a new actress in Hollywood. All the roles people throw at you are stereotypical hot girls stuff, so you have to go along with that, which includes looking the part. Someone comes along and says, "Hey, we want you to do something different, we want you to be Wonder Woman." And then a million people start screaming about how you're a skinny bitch. Actors have to break into the industry somehow, and the way they make it is by getting good roles. This has the potential to be a career-maker. We should be congratulating the woman while also letting it be known what we expect to see.
