Wonder Woman

Art by Suspiria Vilchez

(Wonder Woman 2023 #8)

But the clay from which she is made... it will not crack.

Please picture the following

Wonder Woman greeting T’Challa with the Wakanda Forever salute, but forgetting what happens when she clashes her gauntlets like that

Accidentally blowing him through three walls, a car, and M’Baku

He is, of course, completely fine, but that was certainly not the greeting he expected from the suddenly VERY apologetic Princess

Bonus: T’Challa runs back to Diana and does the salute again, channeling the power from the improved kinetic absorption and redistribution on his suit, and launches Diana straight into the sky. They laugh about it later.

This is the wholesome content I signed up for

Further bonus: during a later team-up, the villain has T’Challa by the throat and is threatening to snap his neck if Diana comes any closer. She hesitates, at which point the villain laughs and asks if T’Challa has any last words. Of course he does:

“Wakanda Forever…”

Diana just smiles…

The cross continuity friendship we deserve 

Someone made art!

You are forgetting that during the initial introduction Shuri is there recording it, and dying laughing the entire time.

How about instead of taking Gal Gadot out they team up and kick some nasty people’s asses?

TEAM UP

Diana does have a twin. Two Wonder Women, one made from white clay and one from black. 

I’d give my entire college fund to see this happen! 👏🏽❤️

Team up! Team up! Team up!

Her name is Nubia. In the comics, she was also sculpted from clay, like Diana, only she was kidnapped by Ares and trained to fight by him. She was made to literally be Diana’s equal in every way, and even uses the name Wonder Woman as well.

In short, yes, team up

TEAM UP TEAM UP TEAM UP

okay, so. the thing that kills me about Wonder Woman is that it’s so, so absurdist, and in the best way. all of the characters except diana go into the entire thing knowing that the war might never end, that the people in charge of their armies don’t give a flying fuck about what happens to the people on the ground, that everything they do might not even matter in the long run. steve even says when he’s on themyscira that it seems like the world’s going to end.

one of the most famous lines by camus (who was an absurdist) is “in the middle of winter i at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer.” the entire point of absurdism is staring into the void and saying, “no, i refuse.” the world is empty and bleak and meaningless, and you could choose to be nihilist about that, or you could pick yourself up and create the meaning you want to see. and that’s what all of the characters in wonder woman do.

when he gets in that plane steve knows, he knows, that they still might not win the war. he knows diana might not be able to kill ares. he knows dr. poison might still escape. he knows that people are still going to die. and you know what? he gets in the plane anyway. he stares into the face of a war that might never end and says, well, i can save today. and that is what matters. 

sam and chief and charlie watch their friend run toward a plane and know he’s on a suicide mission (that might not even save the war!) and they yell to stop him at first and then they cover him like he asked them to because even when they hate it, they respect his ability to make his own decisions and they hold up their end of the deal. they risk their lives helping him risk his because it’s what they signed up to. it’s what they should do. 

when diana leaves themyscira, she knows she might not live to come back. sure, her character is driven by a kind of relentless optimism, but it’s a chosen optimism, not a naive one. she might die, but she’ll be damned if she dies doing anything other than what is just, what is her duty as an amazon. her mother says, “what if you never come back?” and diana’s reply is, “who will i be if i stay?”

when steve’s on the plane and it looks like they’re all about to die, all sam and chief and charlie do is they lean in to each other. yeah, the world’s ending, so what are we gonna do? we’re gonna spend those last moments with each other. we’re gonna close our eyes and know that we did all that we could and even if it ends up doing nothing to affect the war as a whole, well, at least we did something.

there’s a story from the holocaust about a group of jews reciting prayers when one stops and says “why are we doing this? we’re about to die. only a madman would say these prayers now.” and the rabbi looks at him and quietly says, “our enemies have taken everything from us, but they cannot take our freedom to say these prayers. we must live as free men temporarily in captivity. that, if necessary, is how we will die.”

the characters in wonder woman push on even when they think it might be pointless, because that is the point. absurdism is about accepting that maybe you’ll never be able to make everything right, you might not even be able to make everything okay, but you can always do something. you can walk into the unending darkness, hold up a lighter, flick it on and say, “i win.” and in doing so, you will have won.

okay so today I discovered that I’ve been an absurdist for years and had no idea there was a word for it

Winning may not be surviving, but dying is not losing.

My father told me once, he said, “If you see something wrong happening in the world, you can either do nothing or you can do something.” And I already tried “nothing”.

#lesbian culture is fucking launching your girlfriend in the air so she can murder three nazis in one go (x)

#I love this scene #but this is WWI so these are not nazis #as the nazi party would not be founded for another 2 years (1920) #and would not rise to power fully for another 12 or 13 (early 1930s) #these are soldiers in the Imperial German Army #or Navy probably #the fact that this is WWI is important #bc it’s a war without a clear cut villain (ie the nazis of ww2) #every side is fighting for reasons that don’t necessarily make sense #and it’s the first modern war #a war everyone thought would be quick and done by christmas #but instead dragged on and killed millions #(and then even after the armistice was signed #another 50 to 100 million die of the flu epidemic) via @karatam

#i definitely laughed#but also the fact that its WWI and not WWII is a very very important thematic choice#because a huge part of Diana’s journey is realizing that men did this to themselves#that Ares may have played a part but he wasn’t the root cause#so its actually really important that this is not WWII where there was a clear aggressor#its part of why Jenkins put such emphasis on the No Man’s Land scene#its  not about the Germans its about Diana and her journey#her arc isn’t just fighting a war#its discovering there is evil AND good in mankind#I mean A+ humor but yeah its important to remember WWI was not the same as WWII#especially not for the role it plays as context for Diana’s journey #lesbian culture is definitely killing nazis tho. absolutely 100% (via @racethewind10)

Wonder Woman was a great movie for equal opportunity eye candy.

Straight guys and gay girls can enjoy gal gadot in armor.

Gay guys and straight girls can enjoy a mostly naked Chris pine

Bi/pan people get to enjoy both

And if you’re ace like me, well. She threw a tank with her bare hands, and that’s as good as it gets

I really like this post.

Diana & Steve + Parallels

Steve is a goddess confirmed

Wonder Woman proposing to Supergirl in the presence of Darth Vader and his entourage.

This is the future liberals want.

We’re watching Wonder Woman and every time Diana jumps, my sister yells “EIGHT FOOT VERTICAL LEAP”

For the first time in 60 years, the top three box office movies are female-led.
