In the original Superman...he was shown to be wearing that costume under his suit. How did he get his boots on too? Wouldn't that be uncomfortable? I mean...honestly.

Well heck, if you want to use a 70's movie to judge the standards of realism modern movies strive for then anything is a go. After all, that movie proved you can turn back time by flying very fast around the world.

So in other words...you just want to pick at things. I won't keep your thread going any longer. Have at it...but I think I've made my point.

Was it a little TOO easy? Sure. But no easier than any other superhero quick change. Except that majority of costume changes for heroes either happen off screen or are helped with scene of superspeed. This one took place on screen, in front of a lot of people, without any apparent superspeed. At least if it's offscreen, I can suspend disbelief if they do it a little too fast. When it happens in front of your eyes, kinda harder to suspend disbelief.

While I loved it, (5 stars) there were plenty of things to nitpick with the movie (4.5 stars if you want to quibble), I hope this wasn't the one that ruined the movie for you.

No. As much as it was a WTF moment for me that had me shaking my head, it was too minor to ruin the movie for me. Don't get me wrong, as much as I'm complaining about it here, that doesn't mean it really made that big of an impact on whether I liked the movie or not. There are other things I can nitpick that made a bigger impact.

The armor was under her clothes. I got that and it makes sense. She was wearing her trench coat so it is implied she has her shield and sword. That's correct. She was wearing the armor under the cloak. Like I explained to skaathar, the whole reason she and Steve and the rest of the guys went out to the trench was because she wanted Steve to take her to where the fighting was most intense because she believed that's where Ares would be and her mission was to kill Ares. So why would she go out to the trench on a mission to kill Ares without wearing her armor and taking along the sword that she believes will kill Ares? MCU fans protest when we say that they didn't understand a DCEU movie or weren't paying attention. Yet they prove that they weren't paying attention by asking these dumb questions. When BvS was in theaters, 1 MCU fan who clearly wasn't paying attention during the movie actually asked this dumb question:
"How did Wonder Woman know her plane was flying right over the spot where Doomsday was about to fry Batman? Is pinpointing a tiny spot on the ground from airplane cruising height 1 of her superpowers? Why is the airport allowing flights to leave when there's a massive battle with beings of immense power happening between the two cities? All flights should've been grounded."

After all, that movie proved you can turn back time by flying very fast around the world. If you want to nitpick about costume changes, we don't need to go back to the 70s. Let's use a more recent example. When Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk, his shirt gets ripped to pieces. How come his pants don't get ripped to pieces? How do his pants stay on?
And when the Hulk turns back into Bruce Banner, why doesn't Banner's pants fall off since they Hulk's pants are too big for Banner? How do his pants shrink back down?

She was always wearing her armor underneath her "London" clothes. (Hence how Steve was able to tie himself with the lasso on the stairs.) And those clothes were a loose skirt, I think there was a loose fitting petticoat, blouse and jacket. All completely removable with little to no effort. Was it a little TOO easy? Sure. But no easier than any other superhero quick change. That's correct. She was wearing the armor under the cloak.

When Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk, his shirt gets ripped to pieces. How come his pants don't get ripped to pieces? How do his pants stay on?
And when the Hulk turns back into Bruce Banner, why doesn't Banner's pants fall off since they Hulk's pants are too big for Banner? How do his pants shrink back down?
If MCU fans want to nitpick about costume changes, then they should answer those questions about the Hulk's pants first.

Ah, but then you mistake me for some kind of biased MCU fanboy. I have had issues with Hulk's "pants-magic" for some time now and have readily criticized it on more than one occasion. That does not negate the fact that Wonder Woman's costume change was poorly handled.

It would really help if you guys would pay attention. She was wearing it under her clothes...like everyone has said. This is not that difficult to figure out. Geez. She was wearing a heavy coat over her (scantily clad) armor. The film already showed previously the says she could conceal her weapons (even in an evening dress), so it's no stretch to think she had her battle gear with her in the trenches (especially when that was the whole point of her demanding Steve Trevor to take her to the war).

Underneath that heavy coat, she was still wearing her civilian attire. So for her to have been wearing her armor, it means she would have been wearing it underneath her civilian attire and then underneath the coat. Is this what you mean then?

Underneath that heavy coat, she was still wearing her civilian attire. So for her to have been wearing her armor, it means she would have been wearing it underneath her civilian attire and then underneath the coat. Is this what you mean then? Yes, Diana was always wearing her full costume under her civilian clothes. We know that because:
1. When Diana and Steve were in the alley after she went shopping for the civilian clothes, she used her bracelets to deflect the bullets.
2. When 1 of the bad guys in the alley tries to run away, Diana uses her lasso to rope him so she had her lasso on under her civilian clothes.
3. After Diana and Steve leave the meeting with the generals, Steve takes Diana's lasso under her civilian clothes and wraps it around his wrist.
4. When Diana and Steve are walking across a bridge on their way to Belgium, Diana is carrying a large sack on her back. Obviously, her shield was in the sack.
5. When Diana meets the Chief, we see that Diana has her boots on under her civilian clothes.
So the answer is Yes. Diana was always wearing her full costume under her civilian clothes.
