Linkara and Co. Review the Wonder Woman 2011

[espanolbot]

Notes: Wonder Woman saying "tits" and "ass" is just wrong, though she's also a psychopath that ignores the law at every turn and openly threatens to murder people as well so... Also Abu Ghraib is used as a positive descriptive phrase for Wonder Woman.

I know that I've already covered my dislike of the Wonder Woman pilot in my review of 2011, but... honestly? I had no idea that the thing was going to be THIS bad? Yeesh.

For legality, what Wonder Woman should actually be portrayed, from Justice League.

Seriously, the actress portraying Diana, honestly she actually looks the part and she's not bad. The problem was the script. That was horrible. Her saying ass and tits, it just..sounds so wrong and awkward. As for WW killing, for me, she strikes me as a type who does it ONLY as a last resort, otherwise, she wouldn't do so with such ease or in barbaric fashion. Speaking of WW's more barbaric style and the fact that she blatantly disregards the law, I wouldn't have minded that if this was a younger, more naive WW who just came to man's world. Leaves room for growth and her becoming the Wondy we know and love. Otherwise..this shit?

The only way this show would've even remotely worked is if the following was done.

1. Instead of Wonder Woman, make it a Power Girl series seeing as she runs a company and boobs have been a subject in regards to her.

2. Take out the love interest part.

3. Remember she doesn't blatantly break the law and come off as more of a villain than the actual villains.

4. She's not Jack Bauer.

5. If you want to call it Wonder Woman, remember that she's not a business woman who owns her own company, hence the reason for tip 1.

6. She's a warrior, yes, but she's also a woman of, truth, honor and compassion as well as love.

7. She is not vulgar.

8. If you want her breaking laws and brutally killing people, then make it a younger and naive Wondy whose just a fish out of water. It's called character growth.

9. Make it a completely original hero with no association to Wonder Woman, PG, or DC if this is the crap you're going with.

10. NEVER ignore the source material. Geebus, you don't have to be a comic reader. I get that. I'm sure plenty of us get that, but do not ignore the source material. At least make the effort to gain an understanding of it before doing this shit.

11. Personally I think JMS's run would be good as source material for a Wondy t.v. series.

That's all I'm saying. Get it right dammit! >_

P.S. - One more thing

12. Pants need to be darkened.
