ParticipantIn my humble opinion, I think most people are overestimating WW’s role as “difficult” or “complex”. It’s a comic book character, and since it’s a “she”, take for granted her popularity is 90% looks. A regular actress can pull the part nicely. I think the character should be treated as the “fish out of water” one – a old styled warrior in the modern world -, basically like a female Thor (speaking of which, no one complained about Chris Hemsworth’s acting skills – he’s blonde, buff, the costume kinda matches, and they made him do superstuff: we have our Thor, people).
Speaking of looks, yeah, I must agree with many: she has the facial beauty, but she doesn’t look like a warrior, and I don’t mean she doesn’t have a huge bosom , a wide back or enormous biceps…she just doesn’t look the part. And don’t give me the classic “Oh but she was a soldier in the Israel Army she could kill you from three blocks away she knows how to operate all weapons in existence she can chop your head and braid your guts before you could even notice Krav-Maga Krav-Maga Krav-Maga!” rant…by that logic, Marlon Brando became a Mafia boss, Tom Cruise learnt to fly jet planes, Robin Williams got a degree in Psichiatry and Heath Ledger became an insane bomber terrorist to prepare for their roles.
The only hope we can cling to is…Grace Jones in Conan the Destroyer. Remember her?
She didn’t rely on mass, she was mostly slender, but her attitude and expression could scare the soul out of anyone. That woman looked like a berserker cannibal in that movie.
Hell, she could be a severed head, and enemies would still run away.Maybe Hollywood (or whoever casted her), should’ve called Kristina Vassilieva‘s trainer: she also was a (very) thin model, and look at the difference two years of training (and commitment) made.

there seems to be many instances of miscasting in Hollywood as there is when Fishing
Especially since Kristina Vassilieva has the height&looks to be a better Wonder Woman than Gal gadotApril 16, 2015 at 7:17 am #125373Nick Furry
