Wonder Woman (2017) (Spoilers)

[hopewrites]

You make some interesting points.

Many people have made a big thing about WW walking into the War Cabinet (or whatever it was supposed to be). The arguement goes 'she is so feminist that she simply doesn't realise she is challenging male domination'. I see this a little differently. For me it wasn't about 'A woman in a man's world' what I saw was 'A culturally insensitive ambassador'.

Very sorry, I just don't see how her behavior was positively feminist in any way.

But, as I have mentioned before , I am a bloke so I obviously don't know what I'm talking about.

Ok! Yes. I saw ambassador who doesn't see things the way they do, similar to you. I didn't see this WW as feminist at all. Which was something I loved. And tried to point out by comparing it to the old one which pretended it was, and then wasnt. A point I probably forgot to finish making in my OP.

Set up to the war room, shopping. Right? She doesnt get where his culture is at, he's enchanted that she's just human. Treats him and his secretary like humans. Human human human, not gender gender gender.

I felt her disillusionment was a lovely arc because Steve is all, "look I wish I could tell you it's this one bad guy. And no other. But that's not how humans are. I have to go. I have to keep fighting for what I believe to be right." then Ares comes along and says basically the same thing, pushng his argument all the way up the truth lasso. Which leaves her to chose for herself [proxy audience] what she believes and then fight for that.



Re: the museum thing, I thought she was just the specialist called in to curate the one collection. She looked like a private collector not museum staff. Especially given her reply to batmans request for a full story. "thanks for the nostalgia" isn't a story. And it's not the kind of reply an official worker would give for a donation to a public collection.

So...? Tangent here. But...

Ares is not Aries.
One is an abused god of war, the other is a cuddly fire sign end of march early April?

Yes. Aries is the Latin word for ram. And that cuddly fire sign was probably adopted by the Greeks from earlier zodiacal systems invented by the Babylonians or even earlier peoples - Sumerians I'd guess.

(The Greeks then suggested that it actually was the ram of the golden fleece, because they wanted culturally invade someone else's system )

And yes, Mars is the Roman equivalent to Ares.

Lost the keys to my old account, so I had to set up a new one.
