scans_dailyThanks to the "DC Women Kicking Ass" tumblr, I found a review of the Wonder Woman pilot here at geekshow.us. While modified from the brain trauma-inducing script, the pilot still seems to be pretty bad.
Some quick bits for those who may not have the time to listen to the podcast:
-the "tits" scene is still in.
-Diana is unable to get back to Themiscrya, since it seems to be like most mythical islands in that once you leave it, you can never find it again.
-she breaks up with Steve Trevor because of the whole "my enemies would find you!" issue. No prob, he gets married and
-Diana Prince is the "normal" personna that exists in the apartment with her cat Sylvester along with a DVD of the "Notebook" and has a strong a desire to have a Facebook page (making the Facebook page is the "character moment" at the end of the episode).
-Veronica Cale heads a pharmecutical/make-up company (because women can only do something related to our appearances, apparently).
And for the final, most headdesk-inducing factoid....
-Wonder Woman kicks fallen criminals, tortures a guy for information by breaking his arm, and kills a security guard using a pipe to stab him into a wall.
For legality, a scan from the webcomic "No Pink Ponies" which is about a girl geek and the comic book shop that she runs:

Date: 2011-05-10 12:25 am (UTC)...this isn't going to be good. From the bit of the podcast I listened to and the summary of the rest of it, it sounds just so unpleasant. She's a murderer who makes money by turning herself into a marketable product. That's not Wonder Woman. That's Wonderella.
If they change some more things, then I can see it being okay. Maybe even good. But it still needs work. Otherwise, this is just gonna be The Cape all over again and then we'll never get a Wonder Woman movie.
PS The three identities thing seemed stupid at first, but it makes more and more sense the more I think about it.
PPS While I don't think a fight scene set to Single Ladies would work, I can totally see a fight scene set to Telephone.

Date: 2011-05-10 01:49 pm (UTC)The Wonder Woman I know would feel bad that the poor guy was even there, since he was just a security guard, not a designated thug.

"What's that, Chief?"
"How can we COMPLETELY and UTTERLY fuck this up?"
". . . shoehorn in self-esteem issues, boring relationship angst, torture and vapid pop culture references?"
"BRILLIANT!!! Get to writing, my infinite chimps!"

Date: 2011-05-10 06:04 pm (UTC)The same way i enjoy the Twilight movie series.
Cuz I love a good laugh/cheese. Yes I'm one of those people.
If the pilot turns out well, then they have a fan in me.

Date: 2011-05-11 03:57 am (UTC)Like when she killed Medusa after blinding herself, because Medusa was going to turn everybody to stone. Or when she broke Maxwell Lord's neck, because it was the only way to undo his control over Superman.
It sounds like they're trying to darken the character to make her more edgy and serious...but, given the outfit they have her running around in, I think that's kind of hard to do.
Also, what the hell is with the schizophrenic tonal shift? One minute she's feeling inadequate because of her suppose lack of endowment in comparison to her licensed toy and then the in next, she's impaling people to walls and torturing people for information? Jesus.
Even Buffy wasn't that frigging jarring. :P
