I preferred her in the original comics, what with all the spanking and bondage. I feel like Dr. William Moulton Marston's vision of a feminine "Love Allure" that leads to an ideal state of submission to loving authority is just lost in this film adaptation.
Wonder Woman (the character) is sexist af, especially when she first leaves Themyscira, which helps make her a great character. Despite being more pro-men than almost all the other Amazons, she regularly slips back into her prejudices, making cracks about how weak, violent and war like men are. Men are literally banned from her home.
There has never been a more appropriate comic book movie for a tongue in cheek "no men allowed" showing.
There has never been a more appropriate comic book movie for a tongue in cheek "no men allowed" showing.
...and from what I know about the Drafthouse I think they're probably playing to that. They tend to program their before-movie entertainment with classic films or skits about the movie you're about to see, so it's likely a fan employee of the character/series came up with this idea for them.
She's a mid-20th century BDSM caricature. Grant Morrison's Supergods goes into the detail there, but she's literally the idealised 1960's female domme.
It's really weird when people bring up Wonder Woman as emblematic of the virtues of feminism, given the guy who came up with her was a an overt female supremacist.
From what I understand they are having 3 showings. The first 2 sold out. Could be up to more by now but I stopped paying attention when I realized no one was actually getting all that pissed and the drama was dead in the water.
I saw the preview for Wonder Woman at Guardians 2, and was like, "nope." Therefore when this drama popped up, I didn't care. I'm only mildly interested because I really enjoy what the Alamo Drafthouse has done for the movie experience.
I saw that neckbearded manchildren thought it would be acceptable to watch a comic book movie for kids and was like "nope". Therefore when this drama popped up, I didn't care. I'm only mildly interested because I really like to laugh at those dorito smelling basement dwellers before my movie experience.
Honestly, I'm so normie that I don't even notice you sperglords. Like when a picture of /pol/acks get posted, I'm like "ewe gross, who let the uggos out in public, should their halfway house have a curfew?!"
We talked about this yesterday, but I want to again add this: As I understand, it's now very easy to make yourself legally a person of different gender, so a dude does that > goes to mentioned screening > shows the papers and how them will they throw him out, he might sue, or worse - take it to social media.
Lol at anyone who would want to see a DC movie that doesn't involve Batman.
Was talking about this with some friends, doesn't seem like many women I know are excited about WW. Curious if this event will see huge sales or not, imo.
/u/Random_Tangent you're an ardent SJW, obviously feel morally superior to everyone else, use the word "putz" unironically, and I instinctively dislike you
Didn't Alamo Drafthouse host the Badass Digest? AKA home to Devin "Glassjaw Saddam" Faraci? As in the internet toughguy male feminist who railed against Gamergape then was called out for sexual assault?
You know what? If they really wanted to make a point, all women should get in for free, all men should pay full ticket price, all women staff, and all profits from the evening should go to the women working.

I read salon.com I am woke as fuck right now
This is a woman's movie, plain and simple and we need to get with the times, its current year for Christ sake
I decided I will support this movie by not devaluing it with my man money.
I hope every man can join me in solidarity with women everywhere and don't spent any evil man money on this movie
everybody wins

Isn't she a switch? I'm pretty sure she loses her strength when her bracelets are bound by a man.
n/a a_normal_human 2017-05-26
It looks like that's changed over the years like all comic nonsense.
n/a crimsonchibolt 2017-05-26
troyia makes wondie look like shite tbh
n/a thefran 2017-05-26
yeah that changed over the years but we're talking about the goal of Wonder Woman as wish fulfillment fetish fuel.
n/a bleasehalb 2017-05-26
Many of her old school adventures involved her getting tied up by regular dudes then breaking out to kick their asses.
It almost always seemed unnecessary to do it that way, which makes the fetish theory make sense.
n/a John_Ketch 2017-05-26
She certainly sucks some mean dick though, just ask Superman, man got it sucked so hard he changed into a different person.

That's a whoooole lot of anger over a single showing of a movie.
Please do it again and piss off more people. It's hilarious.

Wouldn't your normie sensibilities make the sperglords more noticeable?
So which one is it? Are you immediately disgusted or do you not even notice them?
n/a evannever 2017-05-26
I mean, I notice when I'm forced to look at something instead of my hot ass wife and beautiful male heir.

People in the thread linked by op are saying ADH is scheduling more of these discriminated screenings and they're selling out.
n/a Neon_needles 2017-05-26
I highly doubt it's a long lasting business model. Most women ain't fans of super hero movies... (Ayyyeeee the sexism)
n/a crimsonchibolt 2017-05-26
The day they do a court of owls movie with the climax from the event with the bat family, all other comic book movies become superfluous.

n/a PM_ME_HAIRLESS_CATS 2017-05-26
I want this movie to fail, not because of sexism but because I really cannot stand the endless sea of comic book movies, remakes, and reboots.
n/a ironicshitpostr 2017-05-26
I want to fail because I hate women because I'll never be as pretty as them.
n/a crimsonchibolt 2017-05-26
Marvel will have to fail first DC is already shite at movies so Marvel will need to make a truly awful film.
n/a GopherGus 2017-05-26
Why would anyone want to go to a movie theatre full of a bunch of drunk women?
Also checked my local Drafthouse and found this ttps://drafthouse.com/show/dirty-dancing-quote-along which honestly sounds even worse.

They're not even limiting it to women, they're just saying that any men who want to go have to lie about their sex.

A marketing strategy to manufacture outrage publicity for a very likely forgettable movie.
n/a ThatDamnedImp 2017-05-26
I'd be fine with this, if feminists didn't make trouble any time men tried to do our own thing. But they do, so we have to give them a hard time, too.
Rules need to be applied fairly. Nothing destroys faith in the system faster than different rules for different people.
