WW84

So, this looks like it's going to be interesting!

"Wonder Woman 1984 | Official Trailer" (Watch on YouTube)

The palette and cinematography will be an interesting contrast to the muted dulls of WWI. And I'm definitely curious to know how they incorporate Steve Trevor into the storyline/new world, as well as whether this will still fit into the Justice League backstory, seeing as Bruce brings Steve up when they're looking at resurrecting Clark, and Diana punches him in anger.

Interesting... I should make an effort to watch Wonder Woman. I haven't checked if it's a decent streaming price yet.

[tielan]

Definitely watch it!

I've probably watched the trailer ten times in the last 24 hours. Love the colors, the 80s vibe with the visuals and graphics, the glimpses of the actors in their roles, the music... I'm excited!

[tielan]

Only twice so far. But I only saw the trailer today, so there is yet time... :D

[wpadmirer]

I'm looking forward to this. Of course, I actually remember 1984 really well, so I'll be curious to see if the time period is accurate. (grin)

[tielan]

See, 1984 is more of an impression for me than a memory. But yeah, I'd like to see how they're doing it all.

DIANA

Love the Themiscyra flashbacks, really like her and Cheetah, less thrilled about Steve's return and the mid-eighties setting but whatever. Birds of Prey is February, Black Widow is May 1 and this is June 5!

[tielan]

Birds of Prey? As in...the DC comic? There's a movie in the works?

[kore]

Yes!

Altho uhh it's a bit different from the comics

I'm loving the colours and the trailer. Especially after seeing Wonder Woman over the weekend with the muted colours of war.

Looking forward to the movie next year.

[tielan]

It's very definitely intriguing! I just hope it's as good as the first one and as well-taken.

[ladyjax]

I am cautiously optimistic.

I'm still torqued about how the Amazons were treated narratively in the first film and the need to have Steve Trevor do yet again another awesome speech about Diana's purpose.

I fully cop to most of my displeasure being about the fact that the initial movie's genesis pulls so much from the New 52 universe (which was Chang and Azzarello) and not from the decades of previous material that showed us a much more well rounded Diana Prince.

[tielan]

Well, hopefully this one will show more rounding than she had in the first one? She's had 60 years to develop it, after all.

(We can hope.)
