Forgotten

That random Wednesday in the middle of the month 3 years ago,

The laundry still sitting in the washing machine,

The milk you left the store without,

I join the list of things you forget about again and again.

The mail that piles up,

The light left on in the hall,

The trash still sitting by the side of the house,

And me.

ngl I bawled like a baby through most of Wonder Woman because it was so good and refreshing and I’d been waiting for literal YEARS to see a female superhero front in a modern superhero movie and it was everything I could have dreamed of and more

Seeing the fight scenes was life changing because Diana fought like a warrior - no different than any male superhero in any other movie. Not once is there a weird thigh lockhold and other weird sexualized fight scenes which male writers LOVE to make female heroes do (black widow anyone?). I think at one point you see Diana’s muscle jiggle midfight - JIGGLE!!! Like I couldn’t believe my eyes that a superhero movie would ever depict a woman’s body like that. Diana’s the opposite of a seductive female superhero - she’s awkward and unflirty and charges into situations head first with 0 tact and I love her more than anything because she’s real and even as beautiful as she is, she’s not for the male gaze. She is the living embodiment of a female power fantasy and she’s always been there in some way (even if certain writers ruin her in the comics at times) but now she’s on the big screen!!!!

not once does the movie fall into cliche female superhero tropes and even the men take on important roles that push Diana to be better in ways that aren’t tied to their masculinity. not once are they depicted as weak to make Diana look stronger, she doesn’t need that because she shines on her own. The male love interest literally teaches Diana to believe in love which is so wonderfully refreshing (and who also dies for Diana’s woman pain which was both parts sad and amusing).

The best part too is when you notice the little things. I never thought I needed to see an army of women separated from the male gaze, but just seeing women fight and be unquestionably strong on their own was empowering in so many ways. The way this movie handles its many female characters is amazing and you can tell just the care it takes. Even with their arms and legs bare, it’s undeniable that the amazons are warriors and not once do you ever get the feeling that the movie is treating these women as sex objects. You know who is getting that kind of treatment? Chris Pine’s character. Wonder Woman flips the rules entirely.

Anywho I’m rambling but I’ll end this post on the note that I honestly would have liked the main big bad to turn out to be the badass evil German scientist woman because the idea of the god of war taking on the persona of a woman that controls so much in the German army and then Diana having to fight her would have been incredible. I didn’t hate the direction they did take and it was enjoyable in its own right, but it left the viewer uncertain of the fate of this brilliant but evil female scientist and it seemed like a waste to not wrap up her story in some way.

Wonder Woman could have pushed a political agenda or adopted an ‘oh snap, feminism!’ attitude or created (yet another) Strong Female Character who is cold, icy, and competent. It could have have shouted at us from a soapbox or smacked us across the face with a heavy hand, desperate to drive home its point about Gender™. But it doesn’t do any of those things. 

The movie is, instead, exactly like Diana herself. It believes in the inherent dignity of all human beings and it fights fiercely against injustice, but it remains warm, hopeful, human, and kind while it does so. In it, love is not reduced to sentimentality, nor war to glorified cruelty. Diana unites in her the truest understanding of both love and war. She shows that they can never and should never be separated, that the only reason you should ever fight is because you love with your whole heart. It was amazing and I can’t believe it.

Scott went on to list bad things that had happened to nearly 40 male characters. Unfortunately, over half of these things were of a temporary nature, at least nine of the characters on his list were villains, and he also puzzlingly put Northstar ‘turning gay’ on the list. I’m sure he meant well–but a direct comparison has yet to be made.
