I seem to recall the 2013 remake having a final girl.
Yes. It was written by Kevin Feige.

As simple as that.
Almost all women in the first two movies went possessed by the Kandarian Demon, turning into vicious Deadites. All of them are slaughtered by the male hero. Only two women didn't go possessed: Bobby Joe and Annie Knowby. They died.
There's no Final Girl, but a "Final Man": Ash.
There are no black characters. No Asian characters. No Arab characters. Just a Sumerian book.
Please, call DISNEY or Kevin Feige, we must boycott these misogynist, racist movies forever!

I've finally watched the movie for the very first time tonight, here in Italy, aired on prime time. Brilliant and awesome. And that was the TRUE Wonder Woman. Finally. 1984 is one million light years ahead of Wonder Woman 2017. It was a superb movie which truly captured the spirit and the essence of the character, as well as the quality of its silver age stories. Gal Gadot was excellent, and the movie just destroyed the first chapter in terms of direction, plot, screenplay, acting, cinematography, special effects, action pieces.
Also, Wonder Woman 1984 is VASTLY better than:
All 3 Thor movies Black Panther 1 and 2 The 2 Guardians of the Galaxy movies Iron Man 3 Ant-Man 1 and 2 Black Widow Dr. Strange 1 Spider-Man: Far From Home Raimi's Spider-Man 2 and 3 The 2 Amazing Spider-Man movies Hulk & The Incredible Hulk

It's an animated film, and the creatures don't even look good. Overused, overblown and mediocre CGI.
Its success is absurd and surreal.

What you describe is the fault on the writers and directors, not really Gadot as a performer.
Yes, but Gadot doesn't really fit.

Visually, it looks interesting and even "Evil Dead-ish".
My points:
1- Deadites with white eyes are much more scary. The white eyes are a big trademark of the Deadites anyway, but for the new movies they keep choosing the Regan-like eyes. Why?
2- Too women. I think that we don't need a female Ash at this point. Mia Allen was different. In Evil Dead 2013, they had just split Ash into two co-protagonists: David Allen and Mia Allen. It was a very intelligent and witty move.
Hopefully they will dig into the mythology of the Necronomicon and the Kandarian Demon.

So here we go again.
Is the movie depicting a fixed timeline with a causal loop within (like 12 Monkeys), or is it an alterable/malleable timeline like Back to the Future?
The errors/debatable points are:
(BIG SPOILERS)
Premise: assuming it's a FIXED TIMELINE/CAUSAL LOOP.
1- How did Stuart (Liev Schreiber) manage to take a photograph of Kate (Meg Ryan) at the party in 1876, if she arrived at the very end, when Stuart wasn't there anymore to take any photos?
2- In the final sequence of the movie, Leopold (Hugh Jackman) still stays at the party, like he never left it. But he must discover/chase Stuart in order to experience his adventures in 2001 and meet Kate for the very first time. Remember, it is supposed to be a loop. So what? Is "the" Leopold at the very end "the" Leopold #2 that returned back to 1876, (hours or minutes) AFTER the "first" Leopold #1 had left to chase Stuart? This way, the loop should be preserved.
Tell me. Rewatch the movie. Thanks.

No, he's just big into hair styling. It's why he and Beast had similar hairdos in the 80s and 90s.
Movie Beast?

So, definitely:
Are Wolverine's "wolf-like" hair part of his mutation, in the movieverse? From the Fox movies to the upcoming Deadpool 3.
For instance, we can see Wolverine with very long hair in The Wolverine and Apocalypse. So it seems that, when he lets his hair grow normally, they kinda lose the "wolf-like" shape. Right?
On the other hand, in Origins he had his hair longer than usual, and the "wolf-like" shape was barely visible. Less or more.
So: does movie Wolverine style his hair that way, or it's part of his mutation?

Superman "falling" before he catches things, is not depicted well... We expect to see... Superman fly up... Slow down... Stop... and start falling... and then see the objects that he wants to catch, come to him... However, we don't see that... We just see him flying up the building... and then it cuts to Superman catching something with a short glimpse of the building moving the "wrong way" behind him... This may make it seem like frames are missing, but they are not... It's just that, for some reason, the film makers just skip showing us this necessary "procedure" required by real world physics. I hope that answers your question... If not, and you are referring to something else... Then, I am not sure what you are referring to... As far as I know, all the different versions of the film, feature the same "Cut" of the Lois/Helicopter rescue sequence as seen in the video clip posted above... I've seen the Theatrical Cut, The Director's/Special Edition Cut, and the Extended TV Cut... Is there another Cut of the film?
Yeah, thank you. So that frame was not missing, that type of representation.
Yes, your physics insight is pretty much right, but at the time it wasn't easy to depict that.

When Kal-El/Superman rescues Lois from the helicopter incident.
I remember some frames of Superman flying along with the building, in a large camera shot, like we viewers would be distant from it. We can see Superman flying, and it's an impressive shot, because you see the entire building. Then cut, and we see Superman accelerating and then grabbing Lois from below?
Could please someone describe me the entire sequence frame by frame? Because I feel like something was missing the last time that I watched it on TV. I could be wrong, even...
Thank you so much.

I just chose to ignore the troll named "Mulder and Scully". Trolls are gonna troll, you know. I will make the list within hours.
Thanks, but please don't go to too much bother as I can look up release details online. Still, always great to hear about Cynthia Rothrock's movies and their current availability.
Yes.
Fingers crossed for more releases. Lady Dragon (1) is a classic, and should be released ASAP.

That's it. You're 100% right.
Cynthia recorded MANY audio tracks, as well as video specials/inserts, for the blu-ray releases. I will make a list of them, for sure.
That's great to hear, thanks. I don't recall hearing her on a dvd commentary track as of yet, but that's probably because I rushed to buy her movies on budget releases when I got my first dvd player. Now I'm keen to hear her thoughts on some of these productions, especially if a pricey upgrade promises a first-rate transfer to boot.
