So why is the world of man referred to as the world of man as if women didn't live in it too and weren't equally culpable in its in current state? was the term that the movie used to refer to humanity as a whole. Hell, the movie made Zeus, a male God of questionable morals in Greek mythology, the one responsible for the creation of Diana and the rest of the Amazons. This is despite the fact that in original Wonder Woman comics, Zeus played no part in Diana’s backstory. Not only that, but the deuteragonist of the film was a man. It's still an inaccurate and misleading term that sets men apart as the destructive 'other' that pure Amazons must be leery of even if that wasn't its intention. But, okay, let's assume that I'm wrong and that the film is not the unwitting vehicle for ill-conceived feminist posturing. What do we have left? A good superhero film that doesn't accomplish much more than all of the other good superhero films that have proceeded it. It has a good first act, an exceptional second act and a lackluster third act that deteriorates into CGI spectacle - like a lot of other films in the marketplace today. So what are we supposed to be celebrating with Wonder Woman exactly? |
