It is the sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman and the ninth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Patty Jenkins from a script she wrote with Geoff Johns and Dave Callaham, based on a story by Johns and Jenkins. Gal Gadot stars as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman, alongside Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen. Set in 1984 during the Cold War, the film follows Diana and her past love Steve Trevor as they face off against Max Lord and Cheetah.

"Renounce your wishes."
Kids with recently cured cancer/resurrected parents: *lmao no*
.... wait a second, how old would Bruce Wayne be in this film, it's the eighties so there's a good chance his parents would've already been shot.
@@monsterking7676 BvS's tombstones establishes Thomas and Martha Wayne's death is in 1980. He would be 12 in this movie.
Yea I’m not giving my aqua man powers back~
@@MyEvilTaco Wait ... you had one wish and you wished for Aquaman powers?
@@Dargonhuman yup, if Jason Momoa can ride a shark why not. Plus I love fishies and also afraid of drowning.
One of the worst aspect of WW84 is that it took two and a half hours to teach the same lesson a Fairly Oddparents episode can do in ten minutes.
Yes! I'm really glad you made that point because even Abracastrophe (the Fairly Odd Parents Movie) as well as the Channel Surfing episode spent less time teaching that same lesson about what can happen if anyone was able to have their wishes granted.
@scamanderous you love this movie? Why??
*do in ten minutes and better
I mean that can be said about every MCU movie
DINKLEBERG!
*Diana* : _Don't be selfish. Renounce your wish._
*The starving orphan kid who just wish for his parents back and some food* °_°
Did noone ever think about a wish like"I wish that no negative consequences come from wishes/wishes of different people can´t really interfere with each other,and you can take my own life for that"?
Problem solved
And if loved ones came back to life suddenly, no one turned off the TV? Or no one wished someone that had made a wish dead? How did they I unwish
What's most unbelievable to me is that everyone in the world got a wish and not a single doomer wished for a meteor to hit the planet or for the nukes to fly?
There wasn't a single shit-kicker who thought the whole wish thing was bullshit and just wished for something like that out of obstinance?
@@scarrantsandreviews yes someone would have in fact quite a lot
You wanna know what the most unbelievable thing in this movie? There’s a woman who comes from an island full of women who were made by Greek gods and goddesses. It’s a f**king superhero movie. SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF! And if you can’t do that then maybe these movies are too much for your simpleton brains.
As far as I know, Wonder Woman never had the ability to make things invisible. She just had a special, one-of-a-kind, invisible jet.
Yup. And its backstory, like most of the things in this movie, is far more interesting than what's presented here.
Ehh even before this movie I kinda found the idea of an invisible jet stupid when you consider that nowadays you have jets already that can use retro reflective panels to cloak
@@EricGraham94 in the comics it can shapeshift and fly in space and stuff, it's not just invisible.
@@LincolnDWard I like the movie! WW84 certainly is not better than the first,but it’s better than most other DC movies like cough... Suicide Squad and I know I’m going to get burned when I say this,but I liked it better than “Joker”.😅
@@aultra-magawhostandsagains7974 you liked it better than Joker?? That’s a wild take. I wish I could see it through your eyes haha
The main villain: I need to find a way to touch a lot of people Yako: good night everybody
He could always go get Harvey Weinsteins old job
As cheese as the movie was I expected someone to make that jock
Couldn’t have said better myself
Yako: *UGH* the stuff they're getting away with on kids shows these days ...
That's all folks
max lord makes a lot more sense when you hear that pedro pascal based his performance off of nicholas cage
Oh my god this movie would be so much better if Max Lord was played by Nick Cage!!!!
All I saw was a discount Nathan Fillion (firefly/castle)
Or the standard “no pain, no gain” speaker all too common in the 1980s, be it the Bakker family of televangelists or the Wall Street types like Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky.
People wanted to be seen as special in the 1980s (as befits the hyperindividualism at the center of the decade/“Morning in America”) and these yes men were all too willing to oblige, as a means to an end of wetting their own beaks.
WW1984 just phrases the question in a more direct way via the granting of wishes.
Mando was acting like Ghost Rider?? Honestly I like the movie better, thinking this lol
Next was better than this tho
I did like how Barbara’s humanity was being sapped as a consequence of her wish, explains away her complete change in character
Though a character devoid of all humanity would not renounce her wish for the benefit of humanity
I'm not sure she did renounce it, it was taken from her when Max renounced HIS wish, since he was the one who gave it to her.
@@ScooterBond1970 Wait, so did everyone else, though. So everyone renouncing their wish was pointless?
@@anikmonette2140 It would seem that way, wouldn't it? Unless there was a bit of dialog I missed (which is entirely possible) clarifying that everyone still has to give up their wishes individually, like if Wishstone!Max's wish-grantings were established to be effectively permanent, but I don't remember anything like that.
Max wanted to have the power of the dream stone, and it's revealed that the only way to stop him is either A: convince the entire world to deny their wish, or B: defeat/kill max. By having him renounce his wish, it essentially nullifies all the wishes he granted, hence why Barbra no longer looks like an extra from cats.
"you either love it or hate it. I think it's ok" should be the tag line for nostalgia critic
Same. It's literally the best way to view it.
@@rheem5794💯💯💯
is no one gonna talk about how everyone around the world at the end of the movie understands english to have their wishes granted
Great point i did not even think of that.
Someone must've wished for it offscreen. Which means it's undone a few seconds later.
@@BNuts hahaha.
*Diana* : _Don't be selfish. Renounce your wish._
*The starving orphan kid who just wish for his parents back and some food* °_°
No it makes more sense to focus on the FACT that to even make a wish you actually have to come in physical contact with Maxwell Lord/the stone for it to work, not just you see him on a TV.
"I'm not renouncing my wish!"
"If a dog and a dolphin can fall in love, why can't your dad and our mom?"
"WELL I AM CONVINCED!"
I feel Wonder Woman was the motion picture equivalent to a Golden Age comic, and Wonder Woman 1984 is the motion picture equivalent to a Silver Age comic.
That actually makes total sense.
...oh, Jesus, WW3's gonna be a Rob Liefield special from 1996, isn't it?
@@aidangordon2713 it's either that, or draw inspiration from the I-Ching era 😲
@@aidangordon2713 I take that any day over Infinite Crisis Wondy... at least 90's WW had theLater Perez and Loebs runs to fall back on...
Oh God imagine if ww 3 is based on the new 52 i mean if zack snyder is involved there will be no doubt
Max could have been a great, multi-movie antagonist. Slowly warping reality - creating a bunch of small "probably unrelated" disasters that seem less like some maniacal plan, and more like a twisted monkey's paw. The skillset they handed him was a perfect tool for building up a rogue's gallery, one that could be utilized in both Diana's as well as the Justice League movies. Man, they really just pissed away a ton of potential.
Wonder Woman's one true weakness: *a very windy room* 🙄
@@carlosrivas1629 that's a corporate shill thing to say buh 🙄🤑
@@carlosrivas1629 OK fine, why didn't Max just make Wonder Woman disappear or explode?
@@carlosrivas1629 the entire film doesn't make sense...
@@frostyjones8685 How and why would he do that?
@@Dagenspear The reason he's able to push Wonder Woman back inch by inch is because of the wishes other people are making so why not just send her to the next dimension instead of pushing her slightly back.
Whenever a show brings gs up the "cheating is for loosers" trope I always think about the TMNT episode where Splinter ruthlessly mocks it with something g along the line of "Your job is to save the day and prevent your brothers from dying, why on earth would you fight fair?!"
TMNT (2012) Old Friend, New Enemy
Splinter: What do you mean, "fair fight"?
Leo: A fair fight, you know, where either side could win?
Splinter: So a fair fight is a fight you could lose.
Leo: Well, yes, but . . . well, what I … what I mean is . . . .
Splinter: You don't want to assure your victory.
Leo: No, I do, but . . . . [Splinter uses his stick to sweep Leo’s feet from under him.] Ow! [Pins Leo down with stick against his throat.] Hey!
Splinter: Was that fair?
Leo: No!
Splinter: Did I win?
Leo: I see your point.
Splinter: Seek victory, not fairness.
Leo: Hai, sensei.
Sounds like Splinter's more of a Cobra Kai fan than a Miyagi-do one even though he's basically Mr. Miyagi but a rat.
@NILAY SHARMA I have. What's your point? Even though Miyagi-do students do oftentimes fight unfairly, the tenets of the dojo are nevertheless the opposite of Cobra Kai.
@@solumanblevins5906 So.... why was Splinter wrong about this? If I have a choice between fighting fair and staying alive I'm using every dirty trick in the book. I'll even make up some new ones.
@@DmonHiro I never said he was wrong.
All she had to do was convince Max to renounce his wish, would have been a lot more straightforward
That's literally what she did.
@@ace9367 I’m referring to her speech to the whole world to renounce their wish, which was required to resolve the end of the world crisis
It seemed like DC watched what Marvel did with Thor Ragnarok and thought they could do the same thing with Wonder Women 1984. Go from gritty, and fairly serious, to full on crazy and fun.
Except, Thor 1 and 2 didn't work at all. So they changed it in 3 (not a huge fan of the comedy Thor but I guess he has a personality now).
WW 1 worked. It had some goofy moments, some serious moments but overall it worked. There was no need to change the Tone.
@@raahim11 I agree, they didn't need to change the tone for Wonder Woman. It worked. I think DC thought it didn't work, because they were falling behind Marvel, and they saw how well crazy Thor Ragnarok was, and thought they could capitalize on that style with Wonder Women in the 80s.
@@raahim11 but Thor 1 worked fine. It had a grand Shakespearian quality to it with the half of the film on Asgard. And the stuff on Earth was alright.
@@gamemediafan1714 not work as in, despite an interesting premise, it was still a boring film because of those Earth scenes and lack of actual fights.
And then Marvel looked at WW84, and be like “Let’s do the same thing with Love and Thunder! But better!”
"This looks like someone left Cheetara in soggy milk for too long." Best line in this video. I laughed so hard!
Could be that Patty Jenkins was the only person who actually liked Cats?
Cheetah: I want to be an apex predator
Me: You're a human. You're already an apex predator!
@@alexiaNBC "Yes, but can I lick my own butt?!"
I beg to differ. The "Of course you are." When he was talking to the toast kinda killed me. ✌🏾
That description is way too accurate.
I think people are ignoring the most important part of the new intro. The cats are in it now.
That's the first thing I noticed 🤣
Chaplin: "HEY BUSTER! HEY BUSTER! HEY BUSTER! GUESS WHAT?"
Buster: "What, what is it Chaplin?
Chaplin: "I'm in the intri now."
I think people are also ignoring Wilkins is in it. Cause anybody who doesn't notice Wilkins Coffee is never noticed again.
Aw I didn't even notice that! That's so cute!
Yet they’re not named in the credits 😢
I can't get over how good Rob's impressions are. His Lucas and Favreau are fantastic.
He looks just Like Lucas.
And Doug looks just like Burton.🤣
The thing I hate the most about the climax is that everyone uses the exact same phrasing with such an unusual word like “renounce”.
Imagine that one dude shouting, "I take it back!" and it doesn't qualify.
Doug: makes fun of Patty Jenkins for nobody saying no to her weird ideas
Also Doug: “lets do floating ghost bread”
Yeah but floating ghost bread fits the weirdness of his show. The choices Patty made do not fit the film at all.
@@IamARobot7 i know. Im just internet trolling for fun-zies - but not mean spirited
@@IamARobot7 Choices GEOFF JOHNS made. I don't believe for a second that ideas like random invisibility came from Jenkins. Johns wrote this script, and he's been associated with every DCEU misstep so far (He caused Josstice League).
12:13 my two cents is every wish is like the monkeys paw where you get your wish but in a twisted way to your disadvantage. Wonder Woman is proving how love is blind if you're not willing to let go and see things for what they really are. It is interesting that Steve is inhabiting someone Dianna barely knows. But it also could be argued that Diana wanted to date that person but wanted to stay loyal to Steve.
@@IamARobot7 Yeah that's a good point, this show has always been bonkers xD
No matter how you feel about this movie, you cannot deny Pedro Pascal act the Shit out of this. No matter how cheesy his line is... He is REALLY into it!
exactly!
Seriously, DC, *keep him around.* He was _easily_ the best part about all of this.
The scene with him and his son at the end made me tear up
While the kid who was supposed to be his neglected son couldn't act to save his life...
The kid who was held over a ramp at the beginning by a bad guy showed more emotions and we see her for 10 seconds top!
Both he and Pine gave pitch perfect performances for this WEIRD movie.
The first time I saw the White House fight, I thought “oh there’s where the good footage of the Kim Possible Live Action Reboot got left!”
Seriously, you have the main hero battling the main sidekick/henchwoman in a badass fight while the hero’s boytoy and the main villain are just kinda slapping at each other... it’s Kim and Ron fighting Shego and Drakken
14:00 I just recognised that location is out side the American hangar at the IWM Duxford, UK
Woah, can't believe Pewdiepie commented! Remember when you spent 24 hours in a grave?
“A mans body is possessed and used as a sex doll” I really REALLY hate that that actually made sense in the context of this movie but it’s also hilariously true 🤣
If only we could live in a world, where it would still be considered "hilarious", if the roles were reversed in that situation - but alas, that's sadly not the case.
@@arsenelupin9697 don't you mean Society instead of World :3
@@Flashalchemist Nah, using "society" doesn't do the scale of the whole issue justice anymore.

Wonder Woman: a woman superhero
WW84: I want your powers because they make you pretty.
Because no woman has ever felt envy?
Yeah these movies don’t bring justice to the DC heroes. I would say just watch the cartoons and animated films
@@dapperwolf6034 “Is it possible for there to be minus IQ”
Me: *Sees the reviews of WW84
Me: Thankfully not
Since it was brought up in the skit at the beginning, I just wanna say, Batman Returns was awesome and letting Burton go full weird with it was a fantastic decision.
Agreed.
Completly agree, that It wasn't a bad thing
Yeah. Tbh, it was weird and nonsensical but I kinda liked it. Though I had some issues with Burton's work, I still was like "You know...Batman killing WAY too many people in an oddly phallic city of Tim Burton-ness is exactly what Batman needed."
To add to that, anyone else love the prequels?
@@ALJ9000 I used to as a kid.
After seeing the Harry Plinket reviews, I can see the flaws and understand why people hated them so much, but oddly enough, I can’t actually bring myself to hate them.
They’re still not as good as the original trilogy, but they’ve got their charms and are still coming from a place of passionate creativity, unlike the sequels.
I think my favorite shot in this movie is just Lynda Carter's eyes. The fucking emotion in those few seconds tells an entire story I _wish_ we got to see.
Feels like they picked that one point from Bruce Almighty where Jim Carrey answers all prayers with YES and the world falls apart, and made a movie out of it.
With Jim Carrey it made sense, since he was literally god, but I gotta say, as single stone that can rewrite reality just by touching it was too much for me. That is a universe breaking device.
I know that the Infinity Stones in the MCU did the same thing, but they were at least several different stones, scattered across the universe, often heavily guarded or well hidden and Thanos had to go through a lot of trouble to gather them all. Also, it was established that one needed to be incredibly powerful to handle even one stone and snapping the Infinity Gauntlet could fuck you up or even kill you.
Here, any hobo can make a wish and it just happens. I mean, has nobody in the entire history of the stone wished for the universe to vanish?
I was thinking the same thing
@Joseph Legrand For example, 'I wish the world would just end,' meets 'I wish for peace and happiness for all on Earth.' Or 'I want to have all the nukes' meets 'I wish nobody had any nukes.' Or 'I wish I had superpowers' meets 'I wish everyone was the same so nobody would be an outcast.'
I can already see the writers saying to the director, we already had a movie where someone grants wishes to the entire world.
@@BNuts My first thought was "I wish that person were dead" meets the target of that wish saying "I wish I could live forever!" or a suicidal person wishing for their death at the same time someone who loves them wishes they weren't suicidal just before they died.
Yea, like Thanos' snap in the MCU, there are some incredibly dark and frightening implications to this that the writers were either unwilling, unable or lacked the talent to explore fully.
Wait a second... a nerdy blonde who suddenly becomes a totally different person, AND is cat themed? She’s literally Selina from Batman Returns! How dumb do they think we are?!
Apparently really dumb
They just couldn't have her be an archaeologist returning from Africa with a cheetah curse.
@@BBBHuey exactly! Cheetah’s backstory is shockingly... wait, no, that’s Enchantress.
And Jim Carrey from Batman Forever
And Guy Pearce from Iron Man 3
And Jamie Foxx from Amazing Spiderman 2
Seriously this trope is starting to feel like satire.
@@jpittmon1363 Maybe that was the point. Maybe... maybe this movie was ALWAYS meant to be satire. I mean, no superhero movie would willingly be THIS stupid... nowadays. Unless it was meant as satire of the superhero genre itself.
Lol The moment I saw Cheetah, I got such Catra vibes. I half expected to hear “Hey Diana.” XD
I wish they pulled an animated DC and just made her a fucking cat-human. She looks like Barbra skinned a real-life cheetah and then sewed it onto herself. They really should've just made her a cat-human as it would've looked far better. I died laughing in that final fight scene because of how stupid cheetah looked.
I love how that guy doesn't even have a name in the movie or in IMDB LOL. Just handsome man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe thats his name. Juss hansoman
Yep.... women aren't sex objects, but a man can just be labeled based on his looks and its perfectly fine.
Yeah, get fucked Hollywood.
@@gamemediafan1714 So you care equally about women being labeled by looks?
That's very progressive! :)
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 It would be much better for both men and women to have their bodies shown then to have this hypocritical bullshit . Also, acknowledging that a character is hot isn't automatically sexualization.

*insert annoying JOJO reference here*
Fanscription idea. Wonder Woman set in the vietnam war, with Maxwell Lord being a war profiteer selling weapons to both Viet Kong, Cheetah is an treasure hunter who finds an amazonian relic, and begins attacking Wonder Woman in the forest. Now Diana and a group of soilders must hunt them down, finding evidence about Lord while Cheetah is hunting them down. And the big twist, one of the members is Slade Wilson (Death Stroke).
That's honestly a freaking brilliant idea!
Personally I would avoid ww2 because simply it’s to similar to the Great War. Fighting Germans and Italians (because I don’t think DC would do a pacific theatre movie, with the exception being Wonder Woman fighting either Vandal Savage and the leauge of shadows). Don’t get me wrong, Wonder Woman has a lot of Nazi villains and they would be, cathartic to watch her pummel. But I think Vietnam changes it up just enough to throw Diana off. Napalm, helicopters, guerrilla warfare and a jungle environment are far cries from her the fighting style she was trained in and the war she already fought in. Imagine Diana and Slade stalking through the jungle, we here gun shots and think it’s the VC’s (something straight out of Platoon and Apocalypse Now ). Their ready and then through the night air, Cheetah pounces. Plus if they really want Maxwell Lord, they could use him as commentary on the military industrial complex.
It would be like what Wonder Woman should be, a intriguing analysis themes of war and the horrors in its complexity.
@@zachbartolo3350 imagine starting the movie with a flashback to when diana thought killing ares would bring peace 100%
Cue the montage of tragedies leading to WW2 and how Humans didn't needed divine intervention to kill each other!
We could even have it the movie set in Vietnam and Wonder woman eventually just getting tired of trying making people change. she won't go back running to themiscyra but she won't try more to help them. she would just try to preserve their culture and that would be it. no more wonder woman. just remaining in the shadows as diana prince. perfectly linning up to when bruce wayn finds her in BvS
@@zachbartolo3350 here’s what could’ve even made the Cheetah more intimidating - if Barbara Minerva ran into a taboo relic/artifact that Hitler is looking for.
@@ianr.navahuber2195 Is that what Patty Jenkins wanted to do with the character?
This whole movie feels like a group project where one person wanted the 80s theme, another the awkward/troupe cartoon, another more Wonder Woman backstory, and another the wonder woman/steve Trevor shippers. The group couldn't agree to just one of these aspects so they all got their segment included making this Chimera of a Wonder Woman movie.

@@monkeyking9863 that's strange considering Patty Jenkings had total creative control/freedom paired with a big budget.
@@janjohn97 actually she wasn't completely alone with writing this movie. She co-wrote the story and script with Geoff Johns. And the script itself also had Dave Callaham as a third screenwriter.

@@janjohn97 go check out movie bobs explanation on it
“Part of being an artist is getting drunk on your own weirdness.”

Because it’s soooo true
When I saw this at the big screen, I was at the point when Diana was at the party. I didn't even realize I skipped 45 minutes of the movie until a few days ago today.
It feels like they had 3 different scripts and fused them into 1 and didn’t try to add lines to make it coherent.
So a human centipede of scripts then? Gonna need more than a script doctor to fix that.
An ugly radioactive failed fusion
It did have three different writers. One was Patty Jenkins, the director, Geoff Johns, a world famous comic book writer and producer of the DC Extended Universe, and David Callaham, the only writer who doesn't get a story credit for the movie. Which writer was responsible for what? YOU DECIDE!
@@matthewjarek3026 Hoo boy, if that isn't a wickedly woven web.
@@matthewjarek3026 If I were to hazard a guess? Johns outlined the Cheetah part (it definitely has more taken from the 2011 and 2016 versions of the backstory than the original, but I have no idea...why...? "Lara Croft deconstruction" is a GREAT starting point for a villain, especially within the 80s context, and that's what the original mid 80s version of Cheetah pretty much WAS (Prescient, that)), Jenkins outlined the Lord and Steve Trevor parts (which is why both got story credits) and Callaham was primarily responsible for the actual shooting script and, thus, the flaws in the detail work.
Such a weird choice that they played “a beautiful lie” from BvS during Diana’s big speech.

"Why is there a jet knob up my ass?"
Best chapter break ever.
One thing I like about this movie is that the cultures of 80's looked pretty close to what it was. Just like X-Men: Apocalypse.
Maxwell Lord on the tv: "You can make any wish you desire!"
Me: "I wish... that the Earth would explode!!!"
*(BOOOOOOM!!!)*"
The End
"I don't need you to make me proud."

The biggest laugh I got from this episode.
That line usually is hilarious

Sadly with a lot of the comic movies in general they literally just throw most possibility and backstory out window basically using the character as a empty shell for the director to do something with
@@deadsweetheart1, Except the MCU, because Marvel Studios does do a great job of making their characters, (for the most part), stay true to the their comic book versions.
Did anyone else think when they were flying through the fireworks: “Just because you’re invisible doesn’t necessarily mean you’re intangible-one of those could hit you!”
Oh yeah. I remember when I first saw this film, I thought that was such a dumb, dangerous moment. Looks nice though.
Frank Lucas:I basically made phantom menace 3 times in a row and no one stopped any of them
Me: oh shoot they really did lol
I like HISHE’s take on the body possession where the guy is watching through the eyes of Trevor and is screaming “I CONSENT!!!”
What if he's gay?
That plot point is very rapey, To say the least.
I mean, who wouldn't want to be raped by Gal Gadot?
@@monsieurdubitatif8567 Statistically unlikely, around 2% of men are gay. I'd be more likely that he's only into blondes. The joke was that most guys don't turn down easily obtainable sex with attractive women until there is a clear and obvious red flag that she's dangerous.
@@josephperez2004 Like being able to bench press a truck and giving zero shits about her boyfriend wearing your skin?

This must be how people felt seeing Batman Forever right after Batman Returns!
Such a bizarre tonal shift...
"Part of being of artist is getting drunk off your own craziness." 😂🤣 LMAO! 😁😆
4:58 - I don't know why, but I laughed really hard at that pun. "Oh well" -ian. So clever, it hurt.
Fun fact: Gal Gadot was paid $10 million for this film, 33 times more than what she made on the first film, Wonder Woman (2017) ($300,000).
Had no idea that's all she was paid for the first movie, strange
Thats not entirely true. She got paid less initially due to being a new actor. But she made alot more after the movie got released.
But she recorded herself singing "Imagine" - she's totally down with the common folk^^

@@ImALefty08 ?
if they wanted cheetah in this movie so badly just having her character say something like "i sometimes wish i were a cat, free of responsabilities or anything" would have justified it better than the apex predator
Cheetahs are apex predators? 🤔 Your explanation is better.
If Cheetas are apex predators then lions, tigers etc. would be Predators from Space
To be fair... Cheetah has A LOT of different origins, different versions, etc... Wonder Woman and her rogues gallery are very inconsistent. it's been the characters biggest achilles heel that her powerset has never been nailed down. And likewise her villains change when she changes. Most common thing with Cheetah is she gets her powers from some evil god in Africa... who is a plant god but makes Barbara Ann Minerva a Cheetah woman... I mean even the comic doesn't really make sense.
But that would turn her into cat woman (or someone with lame cat powers)
@@jinhunterslay1638 they could have said the wishing stone had a guardian feral cheetah woman in some myths
and the wishing stone could have twisted barbara's wish and make her its (and maxwell's after he became the wishing stone's) guardian
I wish that everyone would have an entirely happy existence both on earth and in the afterlife with no wars and/or pandemics and/or anything negative whatsoever starting right now.
Nope, you gotta renounce your wish! Lies are bad!
Finally got around to watching this movie today, and I was shocked about Lynda Carter showing up after credits!
I literally have no idea how Nostalgia Critic keeps one-upping themselves with their intros, but, by god, do they keep doing it.
Edit: Shit, wishing to become the Dreamstone, then being compelled to grant wishes... that's... actually kinda disturbing. It's like being a Genie, only I don't think someone can wish to set you free.
But you can grant the wishes any way you want, even have it backfire.
Example: Someone wishes they had the powers of Superman. "OK, you got the powers of Superman. Which Superman, you ask? Christopher Reeve's Superman... after he exposed himself to light from a red sun."
@@isaacgleeth3609 well, it basically means you have to be hyper specific for a wish, but it would be hard
@@isaacgleeth3609 That's true, but also, as we observe in the movie, as it goes on, Maxwell gets more disheveled, sweaty, and desperate to grant wishes. It feels.... uncomfortably close to a bad withdrawal.

This should have been such an easy home run. Set it during World War 2. Felix Faust is gathering mystical artifacts for the Nazis. Wonder Woman is trying to recover an artifact from Greek mythology, she's attacked by Nazi spies and Faust uses other magical artifacts he's gathered to beat her and steal her artifact Indiana Jones style. She goes on a mission to find Faust and take back all the artifacts he's stolen. On the way, she meets the Justice Society, who are working with the Allies to fight the Axis Powers, and they work together to defeat Faust and the Nazis. You can keep the continuity of Wonder Woman being hidden for 100 years by having the JSA promise to keep her existence a secret.
The first time i saw it, I tried so hard to find something good about it, and i have to say, Pedro Pascal was super enjoyable as Max Lord. I've only seen him play subdued characters so I loved watching him play an over-the-top 80s businessman. Honestly I think he can rival Michael Keaton, Jim Carrey, etc. in playing just enjoyably batshit characters.
That movie can be sumed up in one line:
"Life is good, but it can be better."
This is the way
The story was much better when it was Full Metal Alchemist or any of the other 10,000,000 times the whole equivalent exchange/Be careful what you wish for/monkey paw story
The highlight for this movie for me was Pedro Pascal’s Maxwell Lord. He was so tragic
I though he was over the top funny. Good performance though, definitely the best part of the though. It’s mostly the way he’s written
Yeah! I can't believe THIS movie of all things, made me sympathize with the evil monster who shot Ted Kord Blue Beetle in the head. THAT is impressive. Good work Pascal!
@@nutrock522 He has that joker kind of mannerism. Tragic, funny, and good at the same time.
He's got realistic motives, some tragic backstory, and is massively entertaining to watch be villainous on screen.
Better than the initial trailers presented him. I thought he was just gonna be one of Hollywoods many responses to Trump. Glad to see he has something resembling depth.
14:52 thats right I forgot my beep explodes {boom!}
Ah yes... Clumsy being a character trait in a 2020 movie. This really should have been done as a cartoon.
The change in tone from WW to WW1984 felt like the jump from Burton Batman to Schumacher Batman.
It’s weird how DC keep failing when they do a goofy and colourful tone shift whilst Marvel had such success when they did the same with Thor Ragnarok that they have Taika Waititi trapped in their basement
@@mrcritical6751 ...Is he being served well under there?
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 at least he gets to direct his passion projects
@@mrcritical6751 Because that was a case of improvement in shifting tones. Wonder Woman's grounded themes and tone is one of the reasons many people loved it, so changing tones for the sequel was obviosly a bad idea. With Thor: The Dark World, nobody liked how dull the story and atmosphere was. So going from that to Ragnarok's much more colorful, memorable and well handled tone, was a good idea that paid off.
@@mrcritical6751 because Marvel knows how to control the goofiness and doesn't go too wild with it so it stays a bit more grounded. Marvel also knows when to shift tones when they realize something doesn't work, such as Thor: Dark World.
The problem DC has is it never finds the solid middle ground or changes up something that actually worked. It just looks like they don't know what they're doing when Marvel literally laid out a good framework.
I was just watching this with my sister. Our Mom rarely watches Nostalgia Critic. Today, she briefly watched the opening, and said that Tamera has beautiful hair.
This is so sweet!
9:30 you cannot lie and say you didnt go a search that and if you aren't, good for you, you get a gold star ⭐
**snip** get that star outta here!
2:19 that's my new qif as an answer to everything.
You know Maxwell Lord wasn't originally a Wonder Woman villain, he's just thought of as one because she snapped his neck. Having him hug his son was another way to go.
he shot blue beetle in the head, he was good at one point but now hes definitely a villian
@@rossman8919 People who didn't grow us with JLI also missed out on how harsh that heel turn was. It was Ted, it's like killing off Timon, Drax or Tamara!
Honestly, they fucked up Max Lord by making him the dumbest traitor ever... Kinda where DC started losing me...
@@rossman8919 He wasn’t specific to WW though
@@flyingdutchman2442 never said he was but I do hope other villians that belong to other heroes appear in different movies to make the universe feel more connected
Maxwell Lord: "Cooking is good, but it could be DOORDASH!"
Maxwell Lord: "I'm the guy who k*lled BLUE BEETLE".
The thing in the background in the lab is a bunch of dust vacuums. The benches are arranged in a circle and each place has one, they are used in labs that work with fossils to suck up the dust that is created from grinding away at the rock that surrounds the fossils.
DC: Going too dark or too light, there is no in between! 😂
They're 2d films do thou, but apparently 2d isn't profitable enough for the big screen.
They must follow the piloshopy of not even in the face of Argmagedon, never compromise
@@unionpacific3863 Live action Cheetah is prof that cartoon Cheetah is superior.
The first Wonder Woman movie is kinda in between
@@user-tk1ef2pt8t It's still pretty boring.
If they really wanted the movie to be set in the 80s, they should’ve just copied the first movie but have Wonder Woman fight in the Cold War
That actually woulda been sweet
You mean the war that famously was a political/technological war versus one where people fought each other?
You mean Superman: Red Son?
That actually would've worked a lot better than the original concept here!
they didn't fight in the cold war the cold war was a political war
The whole thing with Steve Trevor taking over someone body just raises to many questions and I fell sorry for his family
It could very easily be resolved by just giving him his original body from the start.
The thing is, it could have been less creepy and actually worked if they'd explored the moral implications of how her selfish wish was hurting another person, taking away his freedom and it becoming that catalyst that Diana has to sacrifice her happiness and undo everything.
@@mssunnylunarain7 In the same line of thinking, we missed a potentially great character moment. Diane proposes having sex but Steve turns her down since he feel like that would be violating his host body. The one time NOT having sex with Wonder Woman has a reasonable justification.
@@Dalton_Boardman2000 i agree. That would have gone a long way to helping make the possession less horrible and have it work with the script. As it stands in the movie, it just makes my skin crawl and made me loathe Diana as a character.
@@mssunnylunarain7 bonus points if they said the wish influenced people's minds. and even diana knew what she was doing was wrong but heard a voice in her head (the wishing stone) telling her not think about it
I'm gonna start counting time in Young Sheldon episodes

As a big Wonder Woman fan growing up, seeing the Lynda Carter cameo had the same effect on me as watching Captain America use Mjolnir in Endgame.
Sorry to hear that buddy.

I LOVE his emotionless face in the middle with the doordash ad. you can almost smell his feeling of: ok, this is my life now.
Getting everyone to renounce their wish reminds me of the Supergirl show, when Kara went on TV and told everyone not to be brainwashed, and that worked too 🙄
23:06 you just now realized hiw dumb her running looked?
NC: Even when Diana approaches dressed like a golden chicken....
Me: More like a Mega Ultra Chicken
Sssssh.... he is legend! 😂
I don't understand why it's called that. Nobody does it's not really funny
Arise chicken. Chicken, arise.

Did anyone else think Maxwell Lord was going to do Hands Across America after saying that "I need to touch a lot of people at the same time" line? It did happen in the 80's.
Oh my God that would have been So much more clever
He could have tricked a hippie group or something to wish for a hands across America event to happen and used that as a way to make wishes
Wow you are more clever than the writers of this movie.
You’d think Lord could just get somebody to wish the rules were different so he could grant wishes with zero contact
@Ayto Zed you'd just have it limited to the U.S. then and at least there is some type of physical contact happening. *shrug*
OK, so I know he said Cheetah renounced her wish...but did she really??? After all, she NEVER said, "I renounce my wish." at the end of the movie. Or at the very least, we didn't hear her say it on screen, so who's to say she didn't renounce her wish and kept her powers at the end? Did anyone else think of that?
16:29 the fact that he left that in. Lol
The cat being like : oop
This movie was what would happen if they decided to make a Movie based on the Lynda Carter TV show
That's it exactly. Also the comics could be very goofy in the 80s. It felt like an 80s Wonder Woman comic.
I do like how it has that cheesiness of the 80's Superman Movies & the Supergirl movie.
The cheesiness can be fun for movies but I feel it hurts it more here because of what was established before it's just one of the many points where DC shows they have no real direction
I love how "You can't have it all" Got *everyone* to renounce their wish. That kid who wished daddy would stopping him at night? The wife who's beaten daily? The cancer victim who just wants to be at their daughter's next birthday party? "I RENOUNCE MY WISH!"
well its either THAT or the end of the fucking world so congratulations you scored maybe 5 more minutes of life without cancer or with your parents, or with food, or a moment of peace before everything ends in nuclear destruction
@@OlEgSaS32 they didnt know that though
@@goddhoward388 thats fair, its what wonder woman should've told them in the first place
@@OlEgSaS32 Yeah, when you want to convince people, maybe you could start by explaining WHY you're trying to convince them for !
@@OlEgSaS32 But Wonder Woman says or implies that their wishes are selfish but they're not.
For me, the dumbest thing about this movie is that Maxwell Lord grants Barbara's wish to0 be an apex predator by taking other people's strength, confidence, etc & giving them to her.....
Which turns her into a human/cheetah hybrid somehow🤨
if you want to be scared pause it at exactly 23:16
He didn't need to touch a lot of people at the same time, he already did when he had to give Baby Grogu away.
That ghost bread is, so far, 2021's most terrifying fictional antagonist.
