Gal Gadot was sooo good as Wonder Woman. It ties into Batman v Superman so well
Yeah she was great. And I love that it wasn’t so men are bad and woman are great. It was an equal showing of how men and woman work together and lift each other up.
@@SFranc It's a good point and a reason why a lot of female remakes can't work.
Should have been Alexandra Dadarrio
@@brammer666 her acting isn’t up to par
@@SFranc don't be ridiculous
“I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.”
"Ahh, Charlie..then who would sing for us??" ❤
David Thewlis usually plays one of two types of characters: Mysterious mentor figures, or psychotic villains. Casting him as Ares was pretty much a massive spoiler the moment he walked on camera.
18:23 - "I'm in love" --- My EXACT reaction in the theater!!! I came out of this movie feeling so good, and wanting more of Gal Gadot!!!! I would watch her in anything! She embodied this role!!!!
Even in Wonder Woman 84? Sorry, sorry 🙂
@@paulcurlin2789
It truly upsets me that Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel were so horribly received, and still remembered so poorly.
@@ChurchNietzsche Just my opinion but Wonder Woman was very good and WW84, not so much. 🙂
@@paulcurlin2789 Marvel Aside ... how many sequels are as Good as the Original.
Pirates, Star Wars, Tolkien, Godfather... the list gets harder to defend after that. Die Hard (Maybe) ... I never saw Wizard School or Sparkling Vampires.
I always had a vision in mind of how a good Wonder Woman movie should go, and this came incredibly close to it, giving badly-needed attention to the member of the DC 'trinity' who keeps getting snubbed in favor of Batman and Superman. Gal Gadot was excellent. Just wish there were more successful follow-ups after this one, maybe a 'Themyscira' animated or live-action series.
Remember that Wonder Woman was created in a time where female comic book superheroes didn't exist. Much like Superman, she was the first, the template for everything that followed.
Comic books superheroes had only just been invented a few years earlier. And there weren't very many in print by the time Wonder Woman was created in 1941. However, Fantomah, who was a jungle heroine with magic powers, debuted in 1940. But Fantomah never caught on, lasting just a few years. Wonder Woman though, had the backing of a more successful publisher - and was the creation of a celebrity scientist - which gave her a big advantage in attracting an audience. DC also had Ma Hunkel (debuted as Ma Hunkel in 1930, became Red Tornado in 1940). But Red Tornado was a superhero parody.
There were only a few pulp-era headline heroines such as Domino Lady (1936, a masked detective) and Olga Mermer (1937, half-Venusian with superstrength and x-ray vision), but they were minor players in the pulps compared to The Shadow, Doc Savage, The Spider, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, etc.
@@flatebo1 Yea. I got a whole book called Batman the war years. It has every single one of the comics about batman from the 1930s-1940s. I didn't know this at first, but Batman and Robin were assigned to a defensive slot on the home front. In other words, they worked on spies and espionage in the home land while Superman was beating the shit out of Nazis in Europe.
They turned it into woke/feminist trash, the first one was a hell of a lot better than the second.
@@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873 Canonically in DC Hitler had acquired the Spear of Destiny and used it to keep American superheroes out of the war in Europe. So most US superheroes spent the war fighting saboteurs and spies at home.
@@flatebo1 To my understanding, they didn't want to portray Robin on the frontline of the war, as he was under the age to enlist. Batman didn't go because he was always with Robin, so the pair naturally became the anti espionage unit on the home front. That's just what I've read from the book.
Watching you gush over Gal Gadot was so adorable 🤣 I'm glad I'm not the only one that fell in love with her watching this 😅
Dasha was definitely right about one thing. She did not have to lose her femininity in order to be strong, that just pushed her over the top into, pretty much, perfection. That is why she is called "Wonder Woman." A woman should be feminine, and just because she is feminine, does not mean she is weak, and definitely does not mean she cannot be both feminine and strong.
Wonder Woman truly was a blessing. After decades of her being passed over and nearly getting a bunch of atrocious projects adapted, getting this movie was a godsend.
Okay, that's a bit much
@@Fantomex. after the 1984 Supergirl movie, the shitty abominations that were Catwoman (in name only) and Elektra, that atrocious early 2000s Wonder Woman script from Joss Whedon and that God awful 2011 pilot starring Adrienne Palicki (nothing against her, but she looked terrible in that plastic looking costume), as well as execs in general being convinced that superheroine movies wouldn't sell well, can you think about that?
@@Fantomex. no ... there is a valid argument.
I wouldn't say "Wonder Woman Was Perfect" ... but "given what came before ... and what it could have been."
@@ginichilders9619 buddy we don't say superheroine, we just say superhero. You wouldn't say "police woman" you'd say "police officer". You stans are very annoying I came here to devour tears and pain not to be attacked 🤦🏻♂️
@@Fantomex. you need a bandaid for cutting yourself on all that edge?
Her father is Zeus, so technically she would have the same power as Hercules.
And since she was supernaturally created by Zeus, would WW have a belly button? Its like that same old question: did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? 🤔😁
@@x_trio_3_po333 🤦🏾♂️
That thumbnail proves you would 100% rock a Wonder Woman cosplay.
Dasha Rocks It in the Thumbnail!! ❤️
@@Harvest991 what about Dark Magician Girl? Or really, pretty much anything actually.
@@adrianrocha49 Yep!
Dasha, you might recognize the Amazon who trained Wonder Woman in the beginning, played by Robin Wright (aka Jenny from Forrest Gump).
And Princess Bride
Hans Zimmer's Wonder Woman theme is so bad ass
Next up is Batman Vs Superman Ultimate Edition(not the theatrical release) then Zack Snyder's Justice League(2021) not 2017 one.
The photo appears at the beginning. A Wayne Enterprises van delivers it to Diana.
Diana/Wonder Woman was supposed to have a British accent but Gal Gadot couldn’t do a British accent. Robin Wright said it would be easier for all the other Amazons to mimic Gal Gadot’s Israeli accent.
14:44 "We're going anyway?"
"You mean you were _lying?"_
"I'm a _spy._ That's what I _do."_
Besides, As Sun Tzu wrote in _The Art of War,_ (a book he has probably read, by the way) "All of war is based on deception."
I havent seen an origin story comic book movie this invigorating since 1978's Superman. It's that good!
Wonder Woman's greatest power is not her muscles, or her strenght, speed, or stamina.
Her greatest super power is the length and depth of her heart.
A great female Director, and a powerhouse female lead. Everything about this movie is beautiful! Speaking of beautiful; show of hands, if you wanna see Dasha‘s Wonder Woman cosplay… 🙋🏼♂️🙋🏽🙋🏽♀️
Cerebro671 - Patty Jenkins did great with this one, but then success whent to her head and she directed and co-wrote with that idiot Jones the sequel WW84 wich was disastrous and almost destroyed the characters for me, so no Patty can't be called a good director, she destroyed that with her sequel.not Gal Gadot's fault tough, she was just acting a very stupid script...
@@marclevesque3147 totally understand. Ppersonally, the ideas and themes in WW 84, (The struggle to reconcile what we want versus reality via the monkey’s paw concept), really landed for me emotionally; especially it being released mid pandemic. but objectively The execution was a mess. Also out of the 3 movies she’s directed 2 of them (WW1 and MONSTER) were hits. So she’s still a good director imo.
Nobody wants to sit through a 2-and-a-half-hour movie and be lectured about how bad things are for women and how great they are. That's the exact reason the second one sucked. People want to see action, emotional development, and in some instances comedy. This is why Hollywood loses millions every year, the woke culture is dying and it is being replaced with our former values. The sooner feminism, wokesim, cancel culture, and coomu-marxi-soci ideology dies, the better.
@@kurtkatzemcqueennovaaetate6873 I mean, women are pretty great. 😁 if a movie or person is showing me a different perspective ,I try not to view it as a lecture or attack; but, an opportunity to practice Jesus like empathy and compassion. 🤗
To return the thread to topic ... *hops up and down like a chihuahua on espresso while raising both hands*
You will see her again in Batman v Superman (ultimate edition) and Zack Snyder's Justice League. They tie everything together so well as part of a bigger story arc.
By story arc do u mean pile of shite
Unfortunately, those movies are terrible.
@@aerthreepwood8021 You are entitled to your opinion, but its your opinion. Not everyone else's.
This was such a great movie. I remember the showing were sold out for days at a time. I was able to snag the only seat left in an early morning showing and it was worth the wait.
Glad you liked this one. It's one of my favorite superhero movies. I think Wonder Woman is not just a great hero for women, but for everyone.
It's funny, everything she said about Diana, I confess to having at one point, thought the same thing about her. "So beautiful I'm just going to cry."
Yeah this movie is awesome. Gal Gadot is perfect as Wonder Woman. This movie stands tall with the Christopher Reeves' Superman and Michael Keaton's Batman in the pantheon of amazing first movies for the character. It is LONG overdue for Wonder Woman.
3:17 "You speak of a time that may never come."
Better to prepare for it in _any_ event, though. I mean if you're traveling by _car,_ it's better to wear a seatbelt even if you _don't_ get into an accident. Better to learn how to _swim_ even if you never have occasion to go in the _water._ Better to risk _having_ skills you don't _need_ than _needing_ skills you don't _have._
Great reaction Dasha, Gal Gadot had such an intense presence, I guess she could persuade many a women to pitch for the other team... Living proof that a top female hero can be brought to life by good writers, more of a rarity than the standard these days sadly...
When women admire other women, like Dasha, it's not sexual. It's a lot of admiration with a tiny bit of envy and a whole lot of " if you can do it, I may be able to, also". Men never get that.
@@TangentOmega Oh we get it, women are so easily triggered and easy to offend these days, but I've watched Dasha for a long time and she's mentioned a few times her appreciation of beauty for a woman's (actress) body, sorry but admiring a nice human form IS sexual and what's wrong with that exactly? As a man I can find Chris Hemsworth's body attractive, it is sexual, doesn't mean I'm gay but doesn't mean I envy his exploits as Thor either, 2 completely different things, my comment was humourous by the way, not meant to be judgemental
@@marclevesque3147 Dang Marc, don't get your (man) panties in a bunch! No one cares.
Objectively? 7-7.5 out of 10 (if the final act had been approached a bit differently, could have been a 9/10)
But personally? This is my second favorite superhero movie of all time (right behind TDK).
No Man's Land (and liberating the town) is my favorite scene in any superhero movie ever.
Hey, Dasha! This movie was sensational! Not only that, it is one of the best superhero films ever made! It's right up there with the '78 "Superman", "The Dark Knight", "Into the Spider-verse", "X-Men: Days of Future Past", "Captain America: Civil War" and "Watchmen". It is also as culturally significant for women as "Black Panther" was for African-Americans.
DC stands for 'Detective Comics', the original magazine in the '30's that published Batman's adventures starting in 1939. It was also the name of the publishing company. Under their imprint was 'Action Comics' which printed Superman's adventures beginning in 1938. Both titles are still published today and are the longest running titles in the industry. Marvel Comics and the Marvel Universe were co-created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1961.
Wonder Woman has NO ANALOG at Marvel and is a UNIQUE creation by Professor William Moulton Marston. She is a combination of Thor and Captain America, if parallels have to be drawn, except her godly roots are derived from Greco-Roman mythology rather than Norse mythology.
The Justice League is basically a modern version of the Greco-Roman pantheon with Superman as Apollo, Batman as Hades/Pluto, Wonder Woman as Athena/Minerva, Aquaman as Poseidon/Neptune, Flash as Hermes/Mercury, Green Lantern as Hephaestus/Vulcan, Hawkman as Ares/Mars and Martian Manhunter as Zeus/Jupiter.
Gadot was born to play Diana and is entrancing in the role. Pine is a perfect foil and the duo have sizzling chemistry.
Themiscyra is so lush and bright.
The production, the action, the costumes, the cast, the fish-out-of-water comedy, the twist, the message are all excellent.
The No-Man's-Land sequence never fails to give me chills and gets the little hairs on the back of the neck to stand at attention!
I love Diana's guitar solo! It became her signature theme.
"Wonder Woman 1984" is a huge step-down from this movie, has a Swiss cheese plot and no continuity with the rest of DC's films. It is an awful trainwreck! There are four thrilling sequences, Pine and Gadot are magic together, and Gal owns the role but the screenplay is terrible. Patty Jenkins directed the hell out of the this movie but she wrote the abysmal sequel which betrays established continuity, the source material and common sense. I don't even consider it part of the DCEU! Zack Snyder co-plotted the original and comic book writer Allan Heinberg wrote the screenplay. Being a great director doesn't mean you can write as George Lucas well knows.
Check out the incredible biopic "Professor Marston and his Wonder Women" about Wonder Woman's creator Professor William Moulton Marston. Not only did he invent the lie detector but he was a devoted polygamist and avid practitioner of bondage! You'll never see the lasso of truth in quite the same way again!
The chronological order of DCEU movies can include "Joker" and the Nolan Batman trilogy without contradicting continuity. Exclude the awful "Wonder Woman 1984". Warner Bros. stopped trying to connect everything after "Birds of Prey". The framing scenes of "Wonder Woman" set in the present occur chronologically after "Batman vs. Superman: Ultimate Edition".

In the comics there have been some crossovers between the companies. Wonder Woman is able to lift Thor's hammer, but Batman and Superman are not.
The actor who plays Diana's trainer and aunt, General Antiope, is Robin Wright. She also played Jenny in Forrest Gump. Never a dull moment watching your reactions. So much heart. Keep up the great work.
Not to mention as Wealthow, when she sang Gently As She Goes, to Beowulf
@@hgwells1899 Such an awful, AWFUL move. Zemekis admitted to outright hating the poem, which begs the question of why the hell you'd give it to him to adapt in the first place, because it's BLATANTLY obvious (it basically ignores the ENTIRE POINT of the original story). And that's without getting into the horrifying character design.
sure she did not need to be defended.. but she did not have to be a man to be strong... she did not have to be an emotionless parody of a male hero. (Capt Marvel) she was pretty ... and she owned it.
Depending on the era of comics you read:
Wonder Woman's powers were granted by various "Gods of Mt. Olympus" in different forms. But, basically, she has the strength 2nd to Superman. Enhanced senses (sight, hearing, taste, small, feel). Empathic/Telepathic connection to animals. Wisdom (genius level), Military training/tactics and diplomacy (From Athena), Super-human speed, reflexes, agility and dexterity (even ability to copy movement and voices for short periods of time), bullet-proof shield, sword, bracelets, tiara and (depending on writer) skin. Although explosives and gases can either slow her down or momentarily incapacitate her. Mercy and sense of "justice" (From Themis, the figure with the scales and blindfold you see as representing courts of law). And love/beauty of Aphrodite, or more accurately her "love" is deemed more as a motherly love for human kind as a whole, not necessarily for one person. (Although her romantic partners has been extremely loyal, they aren't always long-lasting partners. So, while in a relationship she is considered "devoted" to that person as far as a partner, but can easily accept breaking that relationship if there is a reason for it.) Super healing, or rather rapid healing. (Can't recall a story that would involved regeneration like Wolverine, but still somewhat close for "typical wounds")
Her "weaknesses" (Originally) were due to the personal, uh... fetishes, history of the original creator. Meaning that if she is "tied" by the Lasso of Truth she loses her powers. If she is "bound" by her own bracelets BY A MALE, she looses her powers. While a bit "naive" and "innocent" in some regards, she can be easily manipulated when appealing to her affections. (This is often viewed more as being a little slow on deception from romantic partners more than anything else) And she can be somewhat "incapable" of seeing fault in romantic interests. (Again, this was due to the original creator having some rather "odd views" on women and sexuality in general.)
Her "weaknesses" have been changed over the years by various writers, often addressing the history of the original creator's personal views. So, in today's comics, some of her weaknesses are due to different reasons, but for the most part have kind of remained more or less the same in regard to being "restricted", slowed down, or simply "human levels" for abilities.
And depending on era of comics... She either left Themascrya with her mother's blessing, or basically "ran away from home". Her "creation from clay" has bounced back and forth to actually having a father, although that has changed as well. And she has either been considered a "demi-god" (Part human/Part god) or been elevated to full "Goddess status" depending on the writer and the story. However, in basically EVERY variation of her background over the years, she is considered by Hera and Athena as a "Chosen Champion", which means that these 2 goddesses (Hera and Athena) as well as Aphrodite, Demeter, Artemis and Themis should be considered her biggest influences as far as personality. And in some stories, one of the above have been considered as "family" in one form or another. (Either directly, or implied as mother/sister when written as a "goddess" herself).
Hopefully, this will give you a better understanding of who Wonder Woman is, her powers, and how her character interacts with other characters over the course of her movies.
Took me a few times watching it to catch the subtly of the scene when Diana is reading the riot act to the general and Steve is trying to get her to leave; he's actually physically trying to move her but her can't 😂😂
I never noticed that! Hahaha that's hilarious
@@adamFIVE88 14:33 right there, Steve is pulling on her and very subtly straining and she won't budge lol
I mean, it's acting obviously, but it's a really nice touch.
I’m going to watch this later this week but I wanted to say that I love your thumbnails and appreciate the effort you put in the costumes.
Girl, I love your reaction. This movie also put me through soo many deep emotions. Such a great movie, and she's such a badass superhero! You should watch the second movie 👍🏽
Antiope, the woman who trained Diana, is played by Robin Wright, who also played "Jenny" in Forrest Gump.
I thought it was very sweet and a clever choice that the writers made Diana and Steve not very sexually experienced.
When Diana asked Steve what was making love like he said “I don’t know” The big hero spy dude had never had sex. Wow James Bond he was not and that is a good thing.
Steve and Diana were one another’s first true loves. Which explains why she is so guarded with her heart in later films.
I have a theory that modern, superhero stories emerge from the same place in the human mind as the stories of the ancient polytheistic gods. Does anybody here agree with me?
Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung have similar ideas to yours. The Villian in the movie Unbreakable thought so.
Yes, they fill the same psychological niche. Like aliens and "we are not alone" fulfill the role of angels and religious belief. As modern as we think we are, the group mind is an ancient thing
Everytime I see this movie, I'm still amazed of how it was good, It's hard for me to fathom how the sequel just a few years later, turned out to be such an abobination...
My thoughts exactly. I still love Gal Gadot in both, but that writing went from near perfect to atrocious, in one movie leap.
Blame that on geoff johns the human snake....
I'm still furious what they did to Cheetah in the sequel
The original Wonder Woman was created in 1941 during World War II. She was the Amazon princess who was called to fight in the war against the nazis as an immortal goddess from Greek mythology who was raised on the 'paradise' island of Themyscira. After American fighter pilot Steve Trevor crashed near the island, Diana was tasked to return him home and assumed the role of Wonder Woman to join in the fight against the Axis powers. She became a member of the US military as Diana Prince.
Several versions of Wonder Woman were created over the decades... she was given an invisible airplane... she was made nearly as strong as Superman. In the 70's, Wonder Woman became a hit TV series w/ Linda Carter assuming the role of Wonder Woman... she was given the powers to also assume various roles.
In the 80's, a new Wonder Woman in the comics was launched where she was an embassador of Themyscira on a mission of peace by the Amazons. Later, the Amazons are revealed to be the guardians of Earth against the New Gods, who are aliens led by the tyrannical ruler Darkseid from the planet Apokolips. Wonder Woman also kissed Batman once before they were wiped out from existence in a storyline (they were brought back)...
In the 2000's, a new Wonder Woman emerged and she became romantically involved w/ the new Superman. This time, she was Queen of the Amazons. Currently, DC comics has called her part of their 'trinity' of Super-heroes - Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
Fun facta.
Gal Gadot studied Dance as a child
She was allowed to delay her entry into the Israel defense forces (which is mandatory for all Israelis at age 18) for two years because she won the Miss Israel Heather pageant and therefore had to compete in the Miss Universe Pageant.
When she entered the IDf she became a combat fitness instructor. This combined with her childhood background in dance really shines in this film as she is able to make the movement of a super powered demigod look naturall.
You kinda watched this movie out of order in relation to the overall DCEU (DC Extended Universe).
After 'Man of Steel' (the first DCEU movie), which you already watched, comes 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' (you should watch the Ultimate Edition, not the theatrical cut) and after that, comes this 'Wonder Woman' movie (most of the movie takes place during WW1, but the present day stuff at the beginning and end of the movie is set post-BvS, hence why Diana receives that photo from Bruce Wayne. They meet in BvS).
After that you could watch 'Suicide Squad' (the 2016 movie. The extended cut is the preferred choice) and 'Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn'.
After those, 'Zack Snyder's Justice League' goes next. Then 'Aquaman', 'Shazam!', 'The Suicide Squad' (2021 movie) and the 'Peacemaker' TV show.
They're all connected.
When Wonder Woman deflected the bullet fired at Steve Trevor, it was an homage to the scene where Superman (1978) caught a bullet intended for Lois Lane.
Her entrance into the battle against Doomsday in Batman v Superman was the best part of that movie.
Why the hell would you put a spoiler for movie on a reaction channel? Even worse for a movie she hasn't seen yet.
The movie part with her childness was made in Italy in the Basilikata region and in Craco (Italy). Its very beautiful.
Not to get too deep in the weeds about her history, she was created in WW2 by a psychologist who wanted little girls to have a comic book hero like Superman. It's a very interesting story and I think you would get a kick out of it if you ever look into it. Everyone was pretty disappointed by the sequel to this though so I guess you could skip it. However I recommend the extended cut of Superman vs Batman and the Snyder cut of Justice League for more Wonder Woman. The way Warner Brothers and DC comics are handling the movies I am afraid that's all we are going to get.
Another movie with "Bad Ass Girls fighting in miniskirts" you may like is Sucker Punch.
5 years old!
An example of why DC works
It remains a profound, however imperfect movie, effortlessly teetering between a gritty war picture and an aspirational superhero fantasy
The third act basically feels like a video game and Patty Jenkins admits the studio forced her to put it in matching a typical summer blockbuster
Yet she is a feminist and very anti-war so it's a miracle after 75 years since the comics were published the movie succeeded
Really glad this gave us a proper introduction to Diana's character after Batman v Superman and Gal Godot brings it to life
It's not just her strength but it's her love and compassion for others that makes her heroic
It's tough for her being brought to end WWI since there's not one person to blame
heroism isn’t about asking What will we lose? But rather, What can we gain?
In this film, in an interview Zack Snyder said Diana is 5000 years old. Amazons are immortal, a gift from the gods.
Nice Reaction. This is among the best movies to come out of the DCEU. For me, acts 1 & 2 were great. I had a little issue with act 3 but overall it was still a solid movie for me. The battle theme music for Wonder Woman is excellent.
FYI Gal Gadot has already been a mother to two children when this movie was made. Which makes her even more attractive in my opinion. Also, the myth of Amazonians is from the women of the lower Volga (Russia) and eastern Ukraine. Their modern day descendants famously crushed the moral of the WW2 German Army. German tanks were being torn apart by 88mm cannons on the approach to Stalingrad. When the Germans broke through, they saw that the soldiers operating the cannons were pigtailed, teenage women.
This movie was so well done. Gal Gadot is the perfect Wonder Woman. One of my favorite super hero movies and one of DCs best.
Just don't ask her to do a lot of talking.
To find the perfect location to shoot the Amazon island of Themyscira, the birthplace of Wonder Woman herself, the film's producers searched all over the world, finally settling on the Cilentan Coast: a stretch of coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea, located in the Province of Salerno in Southern Italy. It was chosen because most beaches in the world that sit below big cliffs disappear beneath the tide for part of every day. Production designer Aline Bonetto and her location manager Charles Somers considered 47 countries and visited several of them before they found what they were looking for. Bonetto explained that, "Italy had beautiful weather, a beautiful blue-green sea, not too much tide, not too much wave. Our effects team added some cliffs in post-production and it was the perfect way to go"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Woman_(2017_film)#Filming
She has that accent because she's from Israel.
It's a great movie but I think it would've been perfect if there was no Ares behind the war and everything. It became at It's worse when the Great War ended with Ares' death. Still a good movie though.
Dasha, before Gal Gadot became a beauty queen, a model, and an actress, she was a combat instructor in the Israeli Army. That enhances her casting for this role.
Next in DC
You can react to batman vs superman (ultimate edition)
Zack Snyder justice league or Snyder cut 2021(definitely)
Then Aquaman
Shazam etc
Be careful don't choose 2017 that josstice league
Well to be fair, even the Snyder Cut is pretty weak at times(and it's definitely still not a good portrayal of the JL and their actual dynamic with Supes, just not as bad as in the Whedon Cut anymore).
@@gunchar06 lol
It's one of the best dceu movie ever Duh
@@gunchar06 well to be fair, no.
@@gunchar06 Absolute nonsense.
@@abps9947 Hell nah, even the Snyder Cut still turns WW into jobbing fodder + Flash into kinda jobbing fodder and the JL except Supes in general pretty much into an absolute joke for example, Steppenwolf is still pretty terrible in general, the introductions of Flash and Cyborg are still too shallow, etc... The Snyder Cut is unlike the Whedon Cut actually a decent movie but has still more than enough flaws, and it's also still a terrible JL movie(as in not at all a good introduction of the JL).
This movies director said she loved the 1978 Superman film and took lots of inspiration from it when making this movie, I don't think I've seen Dasha react to the 1978 Superman film, it's a definite remediation Dasha!
This is the follow-up to Man of Steel and Batman v Superman. After this is Zack Snyder's Justice League. I also recommend watching the various animated shows and films, including Justice League, Justice League Unlimited and Wonder Woman Bloodlines. Gal Gadot is an Israeli actress. The Amazons in this universe are a secluded race of female Greek warriors and Diana is a daughter of Zeus
I'm sorry, she did not have her armour on under that dress. I thought it was a clever way to answer the question of how and when she changed. It may have actually been a pick up shot they had to go out and shoot because they realised they couldn't cut from the scene at the castle to the one at the village without the question entering the audience's mind, when and how did she change her clothes? Even Superman shows him changing, well the Superman this film heavily referenced, played by Chris Reeve, anyway.
EDIT: Love the part where you're speaking the words I was thinking, after she had killed the General, as she come to terms with the idea that perhaps everything she had been brought up to believe was not true. Then they went and spoiled exploring that idea further, perhaps even a whole character arc where she re-evaluates her place in the world, by having Ares show up. That was dumb and only led to a typical big boss fight like we've seen in all the other superhero films. This could have been on a whole other level and I often turn the film off at the end of that scene because I couldn't be bothered sitting through the big boss climax and would rather leave Wonder Woman pondering her existence, doubting her ideals. She would have been a lot more interesting, not just beautiful but deep, very deep.
1) First and foremost... Linda Carter will ALWAYS be "my Wonder Woman" due to age. (And if you know, you know. If not, look her up)
2) While the comics have been extremely "hit or miss" over the years? Well, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the Wonder Woman characters due to the enjoyment I have always had reading Greek mythology. So, having her background and portions of her characteristics based upon "Greek Gods" figures, has always drawn me back into her stories over the years in the comics.
3) Honestly speaking from my point of view: Wonder Woman is ALWAYS best when they tell a story involving her connections to the "Greek Gods", especially in relationship to Hera, Athena or the occasional Aphrodite stories. Mostly because these 3 figures are the ones who give us more depth of character and involve stories where a lot of Wonder Woman's "powers" come from or how they are supposed to be used. Because of this, it makes her limits and purpose more meaningful and how she either overcomes the limits, or how the purpose drives her, makes her far more interesting.
Taking the first line of trenches in WWI was possible, and did happen frequently. Leaving the front frinedly line of trenches the machine guns are there to pin you down so the artillery can do its job, but here the artillery never comes, and then once you take the front trench there is another trench behind it. Advancing from the enemy trench you're leaving range of your own artillery now you have to face the massive Hindenberg Line of concrete fortifications. That's why the trench lines were so static.
I’d been waiting for a kickass Wonder Woman since I was 5 years old. She was one of the first super heroes that I fell in love with. I cried when she showed up in Batman vs. Superman. Then I cried again with her first solo movie. Gal Gadot has done an awesome job portraying Diana aka Wonder Woman! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the movie Dasha! You should definitely check out Batman vs. Superman & Justice League. Just make sure it’s the Zack Snyder cut!
i don't think i can watch another movie with Wonder Woman in it if it's not Gal Gadot .... she in my mind will always be wonder woman ... just like Henry Cavell will always be Superman ..
And to think everyone said Gal gadot was a terrible choice and should be fired from the part.
But of course she turns out to absolutely own the role and become completely iconic as Wonder woman
The Real Location of Themyscira Island. Most of the outdoor scenes in Themyscira were filmed in the south of Italy. Diana Prince's home island's scenery was made using lots of CGI, but it is basically inspired by the Cilento Coast in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
That is the Role Gal Gadot was born for, it was just a matter of time for that to happen, just like Robert Downey Jr. was born to be Iron Man, it all came together for the both of them, it was destined to be.
"A True Warrior must always seek Peace, but must also always be prepared for War."...
Not to mix Universes, but I Think you might want to look at Jane Fosters "Thor" outfit!
every goodwill and every praise that movie got...was utterly destroyed by it's disastrous sequel
they nailed it with this movie shame about the next one but Gal Gadot is perfect as wonder women love the reaction .
Wonder woman 84 was excellent. I seriously don't get the hate.
He fight with Cheetah in the Whitehouse was incredible.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 You don’t get the hate because you don’t have any filmmaking knowledge. It’s ok, not everyone needs to be knowledgeable in filmmaking and there’s a lot of people that likes bad movies but when you say “WW84 was excellent and I don’t get the hate” it’s when it shows that you don’t know anything. The movie is horrible written, that’s it. The storytelling is horrible, Gal Gadot is not a good actress and she can’t act. It was Pedro carrying I. The acting aspect because everything else about it was horrible, if you had more knowledge you would get why everyone say it’s a bad movie.
@@reynaldolorenzo8409 The movie is absolutely not horribly written at all. And this isn't about good or bad film making it's about story which was fine.
And Gals acting was incredible. Her emotional range was epic and it shows all throughout the film.
Both Pedro and Wiig both gave solid performances
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 Dude, I won’t argue with you because you honestly don’t know anything about filmmaking. I won’t waste my time. I’m a student in filmmaking so I won’t downgrade myself with someone that can’t see all the plot holes and how badly written that movie is. Gal acting was incredible and her range is epic? Yeah, mention me when Gal gets a nomination in acting, I’ll wait. Gal is one of the worse actresses that is only getting roles because she is good looking and help sell, just like The Rock. Both bad actors that only sell but can’t act. (not in order) You wanna know good actresses, go watch movies from Katharine Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchet, Jodie Foster, Frances McDormand, Nicole Kidman, Viola Davis, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Amy Adams, Emma Stone, Emily Blunt, Saoirse Ronan, etc. Gal is a low C tier list actress, that’s why she doesn’t have a good performance and will never be nominated for a an Oscar or Emmy. Have a nice night! I hope one day you get more knowledgeable by watching good movies and performance and you can finally tell the difference between a good film from a bad one.
@@reynaldolorenzo8409 Lol. As I said. This has nothing to do with film making. The story is what matters and it was fine. All actors gave solid performances. That's a fact.
What plot holes?
This film is set 60 years after the first and she's been mostly out of action for decades on end.
And Gal has won awards for performance. She won the Nickelodeon best actress award and others for the first wonder woman film.
And no. Gal is definitely an A Lister in Hollywood
You've got no idea kid.
That is such a great movie, I think the original 1970s Wonder Woman series with Lynda Carter would be great for you to react to
Only problem with that idea is only the first season was good. They second and third were mostly garbage. Maybe she could do just first season
I know the 1970s Wonder Woman series with Lynda Carter sure got a "reaction" out of me 😁
@@eq1373 I saw a picture of Lynda with Gal together from about a year or two ago. I was amazed at how beautiful Lynda still is!
Great reaction! Made it more emotional to watch with how moved you were by moments in the film.
Comic book writer William Marston is the man credited with the creation of Wonder Woman. He was an early feminist and one third of a polyamorous triad. His wife Elizabeth and their partner Olive Byrne were the inspiration for Wonder Woman.
Fun fact, Marston and his wife developed an early version of the lie detector. It was from that device that the magic lasso got its truth telling property.
Don"t ask why the *Greek* warriors have *Israeli* accents, don"t ask how a simple bronze shield can deflect anti-tank rounds *and definitely* don't ask how a tiny sailboat went from the Greek islands to England in less than a few hours.
I liked the movie for what it was... And what the sequel wasn't.
Not only amazingly beautiful, but already a mother of two when this was filmed!
Dasha reaction are amazing she looks like wonder woman in the thumbnail
IMO, Gal Gadot was the perfect cast for Wonder Woman. For my generation that grew up with Linda Carter's Wonder Woman, the news that they were going to make a Wonder Woman movie were taken with a dismissive "no one can follow the steps of Linda Carter". Linda is a beautiful woman full of charisma, with enchanting eyes and smile. The most beautiful superhero of her time.
Gal Gadot is another style all the way. She is beautiful too (she used to be a model) but also a lot more athletic. She was in the Israel military, which I think helps her making the fighting scenes a lot more believable, Instead of trying to be a modern Linda Carter, her version of Wonder Woman goes in a different direction, I think the direction and casting did a wonderful job with Gal Gadot.
Linda Carter is also a singer too. She sang a few songs for the Fallout 4 video game such as "Train Train" and "Good Neighbor" and did the voice acting for one of the NPCs (Magnolia). I grew up with LC's WW in the 70's, which was only just a few years ago by my calender.😉😁
Fun Fact: the Wonder Woman creator was into B&D, hence her lasso and other tricks. 😏
This is widely regarded as the best DC movie they ever made, and the only one that really did anything better than Marvel. Unfortunately, the sequel was comparatively disappointing. Her cameo in Batman v Superman was also great, but a small part of the story.
Wonder Woman was always one of my favorites. She didn't fight for fighting sakes but for a passion. I was VERY pleased with how they introduced her to the big screen. I watched it in 3D. Amazing! I had to force-feed this film to women who just didn't want to see her made fun of with cheap girl jokes. Love This!
This movie impressed me of how powerful and bad ass wonder woman is.
In mythology, Diana is the goddess of the hunt.
I didn’t think Diana would be so powerful, but she is, as you say, “a bad ass”. Great commentary 😀
Dasha ... basically the thumbnails for your videos are the best.
3:04 "Betrayed by my own _sister?"_
🤨 Someone needs to mellow out. There's nothing unusual about someone getting knocked over while training to _fight._
I see "Wonder Woman" and "Man of Steel" in your video reacts, but I don't see "Batman v Superman". If you haven't watched it yet, be sure to watch the Ultimate Edition. It's three hours long, but it's *so* much better than the theatrical release. And when you get to "Justice League", make sure it's "Zack Snyder's Justice League". Again, it's much better than what was released in theaters. In fact, you don't even need to see the version of JL that was released in theaters. It's a wreck.
Hey Dasha, if you haven't already reacted to it, You should definitely check out the movie "Aquaman"
But, You should also the movies Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice and Justice League before reacting to Aquaman as the timeline of Aquaman is set After Justice League
Amazons are part of Greek mythology so it's Greece. The location is CGI but the ocean, coast, light and general topography is Greek.
the zack synders cut of justice league eventually!
"Even if she has a special knife- Sword"
"Whatever."
Now, Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition!
3:15 They are all "sisters" but not by blood. The women of Themysciera doesn't grow old and die, a gift from the godess artemis I believe, or maybe it was aphrodite. They are a semi-mystical culture of warrior-women and custodians of mythological prisoners and dangerous divine artifacts on an island hidden from mankinds eye by the grace of the ancient greek gods. Diana unlike her sisters is a demigod and her armor and weapon forged by the god-smith Haephestus including the unbreakable golden lasso.
In the comics though they are quite aware of the outside world and like marvel's Wakanda much more advanced than they appear to be. In the movie they are quite inept while in the comics they pretty much posed a potential threat to any modern army due to their speed, skill and hardiness despite using only swords, javelins and bows...and sometimes mythical creatures.
Also Diana has a pet Kangaroo.
Great reaction Dasha!! 4:35 Among the film sets were Lower Halstow, Kent, and Australia House in England and the Sassi di Matera, Castel del Monte and Camerota in Southern Italy. Please react to Batman - 1989, Batman Returns - 1992, Dredd - 2012, Judge Dredd - 1995, Superman - 1978.
Watching Dasha react is a joy, especially on her older uploads
"I don't see men here" oh Dasha you are ADORABLE!
The women were wearing female Roman armor, and yes it's a Miniskirt, but to be fair the male Basic Roman armor was also a Miniskirt. Don't ask me why, maybe the Romans back then liked showing off their legs.
In real Greek mythology the Amazons were the warriors and hunters, and the men stayed home to take care of the home and children.
It's not a superhero movie, but much of what you loved about this movie can be found in The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996).
I also loved that you keyed on the music right away. This has one of the most dynamic scores for a superhero movie.
It's too bad they never made a sequel. No they didn't *fingers in ears* LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
6:05. That whole statement: That would be a church I would belong to ♥
i am not sure about the timeline of all the shows, which show you need to watch next, but you need to watch the sequel, Wonder Woman 1984.
Gal Gadot did an incredible job portraying WW.
I only remember WW from the comics and the cartoons when I was a child, and she was never as strong as she is in this show. Technically she should be stronger than SuperMan, BatMan, everyone in the Super Friends arch, only time will tell where they cast her in the future franchise films.
Very nicely done. I think that you captured the essence of the movie. Her intro in Batman vs Superman was also badass.
Out of all the non Batman DC movies this is probably my favorite. It was such a great story and the "fish out of water" humor when she comes to the real world has great comedic value to an action packed movie. Gal Gadot was a badass as Wonder Woman and did a great job! Sadly the sequel fell very flat and was not good....at all :( But still this Wonder Woman stands on it's own as one of DC's best!
I beg to differ. I do agree that this was a great movie, and that the second one was absolute shit. However, I value movies like Aqua Man, that revived one of the lamest superheroes ever. Not many people can make a superhero that talks to fish, utterly badass. The movie 'Joker' was also another example of DC genius. While Joker isn't a lame villain, he was always cast as a crazy maniac. There was no emotional promotion of the character besides his obvious anger and homicidal/suicidal tendencies. This character was re-imagined and was put into a format in which the audience could feel sympathy for him, even when he out right killed people. They make the Joker into a good person in the beginning, then they give him the anger, the suicidal thoughts, and the homicidal thoughts. These two things, good and bad, gave the audience something that conflicts with their morals. That being said, was this movie good? Yes. But in all reality, you put a hot chick in a revealing outfit, in WW1, and gave her a love interest. There is no deep emotional connection with the audience. Decent? Perhaps. A work of art? No. A masterpiece? No chance.
This was a great movie as you have pointed out a lot of things that make this character strong and bad ass, you should look who the director was!
Patty Jenkins a woman who made women so bad ass and hard she made this film so great!
