ParticipantI don’t agree with that.
A majority of the films will feature cute anorexic actresses, yes that’s true. But once a director knows that a studio will fund a female led heroine film, they will be willing to take more risks to cast buff actresses.
Let’s not forget that in Kick Ass 2 we got a bodybuilder to play Mother Russia. Either way, I’d rather see more films appear with a diverse cast than the same, white male hero that we see in everything. WW bombing means I’ll get more white male hero instead of potential strong female protagonist.

ParticipantIf the movie flops that will only encourage movie studios to never take a chance on a heroine led film. I hate Wonder Woman, absolutely loathe her. But if we want to see BETTER action heroines in films, then this movie needs to succeed not fail.
I hate that expectation. It shows that fewer studios are willing to promote leading action heroines and thus stifle their creativity.

ParticipantWW has to be succesfull if we ever want things to change. Studios always make the wrong interpretation when movies bomb. For example, “Mars needs moms” was a failure for Disney and the analist said that people wouldn’t go to a movie with the word “mars” on it so, they removed anything that had to do with Mars from “John Carter OF MARS” marketing campaign.
If WW bombs, all they will see is “Female lead action/adventure movies don’t work” and move along with the next trend.
Yes, we have to deal with not so imposing women in action roles, but have you seen all the ladies that are appearing in American Ninja Warrior. They are petite but strong, and there isn’t any VFX in there.May 17, 2017 at 9:15 pm #135097Nick Furry
ParticipantI knew you were joking. I was making a counter joke!
Big article on why the WW movie will fail big time!

Natasha Aughey Is 160 pounds in this photo at 5 6!
GG is 5 10 in real life and had 2 kids. So she MAY weigh over 120 pounds!
I was kidding, couldn’t you tell?
I think 5’10 120 is too skinny. All bones.
Natasha might be a little short for WW, but still better fit than GG.
Wonder what GG’s diet look like? Grape fruit and water?May 18, 2017 at 2:17 am #135106unkn0wnx
ParticipantCollector_2:
I don’t think it will ever happen. Even if this movie make a ton of money, they will keep casting the same anorexic actresses (safe).
Fasola:
Agree with most what you said until I come to the end. Gal Gadot is nothing like any of the women that appear in ANW. Megan Martin and Steffi Graf are in totally different league.
UZI4you:
I read somewhere WW is no win. It is estimated to pull in 50-80 million. While Batman vs Superman pulled in 160 m. Regardless what happens, WW will look like a flop.May 18, 2017 at 3:11 am #135107fasola
ParticipantI was thinking of Kacy Catanzaro. And what I meant was that they don’t look hulking or huge, exept maybe Megan, but they are in a demanding sutiation were they end up looking pumped. And don’t forget that Jessie Graff is Melissa Benoist (Supergirl on TV) stunt double.

So you think Kacy look about the same as Gal Gadot? I don’t think GG can even qualify for ANW.

ParticipantWasn’t a serious power lifter / cross fit woman in this movie as one of the amazons?

Brooke Ence, and some others I think. Most likely background amazons.
