As someone who loves my son Steve Rogers, I have to say that he could never kick Diana’s ass, like literally, and also he would never do that, because Steve Rogers would grow up idolising the mysterious hero from WW1, and would probably swoon if he got to meet her, would call her “ Your Majesty” unironically, until Diana has to literally punch him to make him stop, and even then, he’d call her “Ma’am” with the utmost respect, and also he’d follow her to Hell and back without blinking.

@next-great-adventure AND THEN THEY WOULD START A PODCAST

They would meet in Vichy France, and after he settled down around her they’d be fine. She’d call him Steven (because it still hurts a little to say Steve). She would teach him the Shield move, and when she called for it in battle he would crouch down with his shield raised, waiting to feel the impact of her boots, then launch her forward – at a line of panzers, across battlements. He would take half a minute to watch in awe as the dust billowed around her landing, watch her upend tanks and pulverize fortifications. Then he’d sprint after, taking out machine gun nests and artillery, and the Wehrmacht would have another tale of the two Allied soldiers with shields who they could never, ever defeat.

I so love the idea that little Stevie Rogers read about and idolized the mysterious superwoman who aided the Allies in the Great War.

I love “Patriotic Leotards” as a friendship OR a romance. Or as a mutual admiration society long before they meet in person.

I’m officially taking it as canon now that the reason Steve knew how to properly launch Natasha at the Chitauri is cuz Diana taught him, and no one can tell me different.

What really sucks about the way Joss Whedon writes is that he sort of has this idea that if he writes about women being strong and confident, that is all it takes for women to appreciate his work. Like, even if the villain constantly belittles a woman for being a woman and people are constantly harassing her and sexualizing her, it’s okay because she’s strong and she can take it.

The biggest difference between Whedon’s version of Wonder Woman and Jenkins is that in Whedon’s version Wonder Woman is A Woman. She (and the audience) must be constantly aware that she is a Woman, that she is Sexy, that she is overcoming incredible odds because she has the terrible disadvantage of Being Born A Woman.

Whereas in Jenkins’ film Diana simply exists. There are some points made by other characters about her being a woman, like when Steve won’t sleep with her because he feels it’s improper, or when his secretary says, “Oh yes, put specs on her, like after that she won’t be the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen”, but Diana is almost completely unaware of her status as a Dreaded Woman. Her excitement over a baby? She’s literally never seen one before. Her little makeover seen? Spends the whole thing looking for something comfortable she can fight in. She basically never mentions the difference between men and women, never even says that women are better or whatever because she was raised by them. 

Joss Whedon would have never let Wonder Woman forget she was a Woman. She would have constantly been making comments about it, wether positive or negative, as would everyone around her. In Whedon’s heyday that might have flown a lot better, but now women seem to be a little sick of grrrrl power. They just want power. They just want to exist, both on screen and in life, without constant reminders that they are Women and that they must pay for that at every turn.

When Eugene Brave Rock’s character Chief introduces himself to Diana in Wonder Woman, in Blackfoot he says that his name is actually Napi. Kind of ironically, Napi is actually a Blackfoot demi-god trickster and storyteller, which kind of sort of fits with Chief/Napi’s role in the story as a goodhearted smuggler, as well as a slight tip of the hat to Diana’s true nature as well.

Given how the DCEU has been more open in its embracing the kitchen sink nature of its setting than over in the MCU, I guess it’s possible that Napi could be THE Napi… But it’s more likely that he’s named for the demi-god instead.

…Though it would be a means to get Eugene Brave Rock to come back for future stories… Hm…

I’m here for Chief being the real Napi in disguise, and Diana having a century-long friendship with another demi-god. The two of them get together a few times a decade to catch up and remember their mortal compatriots.

this would be so awesome

Diana + revolving door

#she’s …. thor. #she’s thor – but better#i’m glad this is a thing people are coming around to#and i’m glad tonally they fit in the same shape #with gags like this#which are public ‘odd’ behaviour#but that the subject finds in no way a problem and in fact is glad to learn a new experience#and like for example – you know the thor gag where he goes to the pet store and asks for a horse#and is told they just have dogs/cats/birds and he goes ‘then give me one of those large enough to ride’#that is EXACTLY the sort of interaction that i can see this 2017 patty jenkins diana having#100% well-intentioned #100% fish out of water#but driven honest and determined#so that when that gag is set up you laugh at it but not reliant on humiliation#because both films take a long time to set up THEIR point of view first before they throw the gags at you#so you see their home – asgard or themyscira – you see what’s normal to them#and you understand that the stakes are high for them and you’re on board and empathise#so a moment like this that could be ‘lol look @ this dumb person’ instead reads as ‘YES YOU NEARLY GOT IT! YOU’RE DOING GREAT BB’#it’s an EARNED gag because it’s not a cheap shot at them coming as it does after such a detailed character intro (via @harrietvane)

MY FAVORITE BIT IS HOW FAST SHE REALIZES SHE CAN’T CHARGE IT BLADE FIRST, SHE’S GONNA HAVE TO BE STANDING VERY VERTICALLY TO FIT IN THE SPACE, SO SHE ANGLES THE SWORD UP– WHILE KEEPING IT AS READY AS POSSIBLE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE–THEN SWITCHES SMOOTHLY INTO LEADING WITH THE SHIELD ONCE SHE’S IN TOO TIGHT A SPACE FOR THE SWORD TO BE EFFECTIVE ANYMORE. IF AN ENEMY WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT DOOR, OR IF THE DOOR *WAS* AN ENEMY, SHE’D BE IMPECCABLY READY FOR ACTION EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF THIS EXIT. 

THAT IS WHAT’S SO COOL AND FUN ABOUT THIS GAG. DIANA IS AS MUCH A TRAINED WARRIOR WHEN SHE’S GOING THROUGH A REVOLVING DOOR AS SHE IS WHEN SHE’S THROWING A TANK.

#lesbian culture is fucking launching your girlfriend in the air so she can murder three nazis in one go (x)

#I love this scene #but this is WWI so these are not nazis #as the nazi party would not be founded for another 2 years (1920) #and would not rise to power fully for another 12 or 13 (early 1930s) #these are soldiers in the Imperial German Army #or Navy probably #the fact that this is WWI is important #bc it’s a war without a clear cut villain (ie the nazis of ww2) #every side is fighting for reasons that don’t necessarily make sense #and it’s the first modern war #a war everyone thought would be quick and done by christmas #but instead dragged on and killed millions #(and then even after the armistice was signed #another 50 to 100 million die of the flu epidemic) via @karatam

#i definitely laughed#but also the fact that its WWI and not WWII is a very very important thematic choice#because a huge part of Diana’s journey is realizing that men did this to themselves#that Ares may have played a part but he wasn’t the root cause#so its actually really important that this is not WWII where there was a clear aggressor#its part of why Jenkins put such emphasis on the No Man’s Land scene#its  not about the Germans its about Diana and her journey#her arc isn’t just fighting a war#its discovering there is evil AND good in mankind#I mean A+ humor but yeah its important to remember WWI was not the same as WWII#especially not for the role it plays as context for Diana’s journey #lesbian culture is definitely killing nazis tho. absolutely 100% (via @racethewind10)
