@jewishpolitics, you like the Marvel movies, but you also like Gal Gadot. let me ask you something that is a little too big for the ask-box.

okay, so it seems that, no matter what the DC films do, they get almost universally panned. i mean, i actually liked the Suicide Squad movie, but Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman were a mess. but in general, a lot of people seem to hate all of their films (yes, there was a big fan reaction in favor of Batman v. Superman, but overall it seemed to not be received well with the critics).

this year, we’re going forward with the Wonder Woman movie. now, giving it the benefit of the doubt and hoping that it won’t be objectively bad (like Tank Girl, Supergirl, Electra and Catwoman were), i feel that there’s going to be a great conundrum about this movie. on the one hand, the critics will most likely hate it because it’s not the jokey, campy, bright MCU. on the other hand, they will be tripping over themselves to say something positive about it, since it’s Wonder Woman’s first movie and they don’t want to appear “sexist” (you know, like with the disaster that was the Ghostbusters remake)

so here is my question to you: do you think that the Wonder Woman movie will be the first DCCU movie to be well-received, or do you think there will be confusion over whether to accept it or not, based on the fact that it’s not a Marvel movie, and a lot of fans and critics are spoiled on the tone of superhero movies of the MCU?
