C2E2 Wonder Woman photo

Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say it doesn't look impressive. As it could of looked different on film.

That said, it looks just as good at the very least as the Linda Carter WW outfit.

You know, if this leaked photo gets enough positive reception, maybe it'll work int he favor of a new Wonder Woman TV series (or movie) but obviously different script than the recently cancelled one.

One more thing, this girl is "Handsome" not beautiful.

Well, she's a cute girl. IMHO, however, she doesn't pass muster as a woman, much less an Amazon.

And while I understand that often what sells in Hollywood is very nearly the opposite of what *should* sell, this look is so far off the mark, that I'm left scratching my head and muttering to myself, "What the f*** was going through the minds of the creative producers??"

This actress isn't ethnic enough for the role; she's all pasty and pink. While Lynda Carter wasn't really ethnic enough either, at least she sold the TV audience on the role at the time. Keep in mind that in the 70s, most Americans thought that the ancient Greeks were ethnically the same WASP-y stock as themselves.

And don't even get me started on the costume. It looks like a teenage girl wearing a premium quality Wonder Woman Hallowe'en costume. The whole thing is far too shiny in all the wrong places, and the metallic bits which should be shiny, aren't shiny/polished enough. The whole thing has a phoney, "plastic" feel to it.

If there is ever another push in the future for a Wonder Woman series, the actress chosen for the title role must at least *look* the part of an Amazon: sufficient height, excellent figure, a finer, more mature face with a smile that lights up a room and eyes that bespeak a wisdom beyond her apparent years. We'll entirely forego the need to lop off the right breast, as that would definitely *never* sell in Hollywood, no matter how historically accurate it might be.

Personally, I would have liked to see a Princess Diana leaving Themyscira wearing a "Golden Age" version of the costume, with lace-up sandals and a flowing tunic/skirt, then "re-work" her look herself once she finds herself in "Man's World". Might have added some real dimension to the character.

The problem with WW's costume is that it is -- if possible -- one of the most ludicrous of the superhero outfits. And the character herself demands that the actress really needs to look like she can take someone down in a fight, which doesn't mean a full-on Ms. Fitness Pageant type of body, just someone with muscular definition. Jessica Biel or Michelle Rodriguez look like that. These stick figure girls with "starlet wasting disease" just aren't believable as action stars, nevermind superheroes. The young woman they got to portray Lara Croft a couple years ago... whose name escapes me... Googling... ah, Alison Carroll has the kind of body one needs to play Wonder Woman. She's beautiful, and she looks like she could actually hold her own. A few weeks weight training and she'd completely look the part.

^ She really could use a steak...or two.

I don't see how this could last more than 1/2 a season. Already this looks worse than that terminator series.
