Jessa and Alex React and Review Wonder Woman 1984! It was a fun and confusing ride and we have THOUGHTS... Follow us on Insta: / jessa_and_alex_watch Alex: / alex__fandicted
1) Taking nothing away from Kristin Wiig, Pedro Pascal’s arc kinda stole the entire movie for me. He acted everyone off of the freaking screen! 2) I needed more Themyscira Ninja Warrior in the movie. 3) There are 10 guys walking around Hollywood right now that look like 80’s Steve Trevor
Pedro was a mad man, lol 😅 I loved it. Also the flashback, near the end, of him as a kid, and young adult with his newly started company just hit me in the feels 😭😭
She didn’t flirt with him tho. She said she liked his outfit because it was an outfit Steve tried on. It wasn’t flirtatious, just a call back to a joke
Such a solid reaction to this movie. Kristen Wig was so good imo loved her slow transformation to Cheetah. The scene where she was talking to Diana after she defeated was so good and seeing Diana look so helpless and defeated was so strange but so good. Pedro really held everything together.
Did WW fly in the comics? That seemed like a "Superman can do it, so now so can Wonder Woman!" moment. But maybe it was that her invisible jet is corny and they wanted to get rid of it.
😬😬 Also as we kept saying... Babs, you didn’t need to wish on a rock in order to wear a miniskirt and a smoky eye? For most of the runtime she just did stuff she could have done anyway
@@jessaandalexwatch First wonder woman was on a whole diffrent level. Awesome movie. Back in the day you had alot of hardcore women in movies tho. Ripley from Aliens.. Sarah Connor from Terminator.. Even the newer Dafne Keen in Logan was just insane.. and she was just a little girl.
@@jessaandalexwatch Yeah that's true but also, I think Patty was trying to show what being desperate and greedy to get what we want without putting in the leg work would actually cost us (Flashback to the opening scene: "You cannot win because you are not ready to be a winner, and there is no shame in that".) The movie showed me how greed only feeds greed - wanting more and more. In some ways, there are no shortcuts that can be taken, no cheating or lying your way through. There is only the truthful way of doing things - and yes, it will be difficult and some sacrifices will be need to be made (just like Diana), but if we truly love this world, then there is only the way of love and humility.
The biggest issue i have with this movie is how little screentime they gave to Kristin Wig and the character Cheetah, to favor the charter of Pedro Pascal since instead if commiting to one villains and develope it correctly they tried go squiz them both in the film. The character of Cheetah is like the Lex Luthor to Superman, a very complex and stablished nemesis, her turning into Cheetah had a much better story in the comics than what was done here, her intentions are not shallow and is much more interesting to see how she loses her humanity progressively, which then again it was poorly tackled in the film. For instance, when Barbara makes her wish, she didn't know the stone actually worked, as an historian they knew the lore but it was still a legend, later in the movie we as an audience lear that the stone grants you a wish but takes something in return, but not Barbara, in her case it took her humanity since when we met her early in the film she is a nice and decent person that hasn't chage anything about her, even when she says she wishes to be like Diana, all the decisions that she later makes is a product of her losing herself, but Maxwell Lord gets a redemption for nothing really.
@@jessaandalexwatch Plus a sleazy Alec Baldwin, a vindictive Sigourney, a never better Melanie, and Joan Cusack...lol, "It's not even leathah!" It was cute-weird when Dakota Johnson quoted a line from it in 50 Shades, without her assistant replying "Did you just Working Girls me?", lol.
@@oliviarogers3559 it really makes me think that a giant chunk of Steve’s plot must have been removed. It’s just so unnecessary if they weren’t going to do anything with it.
@@jessaandalexwatch Like... if you hijack a person's body, where are the friends, family, coworkers who should be looking for them? Why didn't they bump into someone who knew faux-Steve when they were in his neighborhood? Some emotional tension dealing with that was ripe for the taking.
it's the kind of superhero movie that i think would've worked in the 80s, reminded me a bit of superman 3 sort of, but unfortunately we humans are a bit too woke for this type of storyline. Themyscira, the start and the music was amazing...and then it went downhill fast.
Its not perfect, true, but i still enjoyed it. If you don't go in with too many expectations, you can appreciate a movie's good points while also acknowledging its faults
This movie is a narrative mess, but if you turn off your brain there is fun to be had. The hurdles you have to overcome are pretty huge, though. Like you guys said, the Steve as a body snatcher thing is so unnecessary and, like most things in this film, have no consequences. The 80's aesthetic is barely utilized and the run time is too long. Delete one of the sub plots (frankly, I think Steve could be deleted and his time dedicated to fleshing out Cheetah would have helped) and tighten up the rules of the wish stone and I think you could get something pretty good out of it. As it is the film is overlong, convoluted and throws out base homilies as its mural structure and then abandons them after the first act. Diana willingly stealing another man's life so she could have Steve back is terribly out of character and just wrong on SO many levels. Plot holes aside, there's fun in here, buried under a lot of excess. Kind of like the 80's.
Agreed. As much as I enjoy Chris Pine, I think his storyline is the part that lifts out the easiest. Diana just hit all the same beats with him in this movie as she did last movie.
WW having to let Steve go was one of the best and most heartbreaking scenes for me though 🥰😍😭, and you can't have that if you take him out of the story.. but I agree they didn't have to do it bodysnatcher style, that was a weird choice that just raised a lot of questions without adding anything. 😊
@@jessaandalexwatch Imagine being this guy, you loose control of your body and consciousness, and then an unknown woman has sex with you and then takes you on a world saving adventure, fighting White House security on the way, and which could have very well led to your death. She shows no remorse, and even flirts with him after he gains control of his body. All this while, she knows that if she renounces her wish, everything goes back to normal and the man gets control of his body. But no, Wonder Woman, the biggest female hero in comic book history, is extremely selfish and uses the guy’s body in whatever she wishes for. The sex is equivalent to having a non consensual sex with an intoxicated man who has lost his senses. This is nothing but “rape”, violating the basic right of a human consent.
I like first WW very much. I consider it as best DCEU film, that second part on the other hand is for me easily the worst of them. Big disappoitment. I enjoyed your reaction more than the movie itself
I love that in this movie, no character is immune to the corruption of power, not one. Even Diane initially succumbs, but must give up the thing she holds dearest for the good of all, and it hurts so much! The moral story in this movie is absolutely wonderful, so it pains me to see so many people shit on it for a few minor issues.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that if they ever do a Firefly reboot, Pedro Pascal should be the first actor offered the role of Malcolm Reynolds?
@@SchulzEricT Mandalorian isn't even going to start production until sometime next year, so the only one of them with a current full-time show is Fillion.
Was soooooooo disapointed in this ! after being so ecstatic with the first one, cannot believe the same people made it ! Didn't need Maxwell Lord character ( and definately not the smaltz with the son ! ) & didn't need Steve Trevor, ive been reading WW since the 70's it should have been just Diana & Cheetah ! also the fighting was always defensive which was totally wrong !!
I like this one SO much more than the first movie (except the moronic jumping to fly crap-does she really HAVE to fly just because Superman can??). Unlike the first one which had no moral story (no, 'Nazis Bad' is not a moral story, it's a slogan), this one had a very strong lesson about power and self sacrifice, and it was so great.

Steve is a WW1 veteran he isn’t just a person he is built different.

Pedro Pascal WENT THERE and it was amazing. He was clearly having the time of his life.

Wonder Woman has always used her tiara as a throwing weapon
She can take advantage of me

Yeah as a joke it worked purrfectly.
I agree. The moral story in this film was incredible, and totally missing from other modern blockbusters, especially superhero movies!
The tiara has doubled as a boomerang in the comics since the Golden Age, and often in the TV series as well.
Did WW fly in the comics? That seemed like a "Superman can do it, so now so can Wonder Woman!" moment.

Women empowerment : Can walk in heels, do not wear glasses.. and never ever love more than one man ...ever!

Both were awesome. Don't know what you're talking about.
Y’all had such a fun and awesome reaction! Enjoyed hearing y’all’s thoughts. Thanks for sharing with us!
The creepiest thing about this movie is how she took over a man’s body with her man
I loved it❤
Me too!!
In my opinion, I love Wonder Woman 1984, but I think Soul is even better.
Up next: Working Girl.
;)
Ooh great suggestion! Love me some vintage Harrison Ford!

Probably a blessing that this didn't hit theatres
It did, I watched it with my family on Christmas. Lol
Thank God, it did hit theathers, and I watched it twice, and I loved it 👌🏼😉
It hit theaters and I loved it and I'll watch it again❤️
did where I live. I want my money back
I watched it in theatre. And two and half hours of my life I lost forever
Its not perfect, true, but i still enjoyed it. If you don't go in with too many expectations, you can appreciate a movie's good points while also acknowledging its faults
@@lanedayes7956 it was a fun movie.
Patty Jenkins wrote the script. She's a much better director than writer in my opinion. I thought the story was pretty awful.
It was a real story with an actual moral. Sorry you prefer the brainless crap of the first film, and the superhero genre in general since the 90s.

Every movie is good then...if you "turn off your mind"

Yeah, the first one is still one of my favorite super hero movies. This one didn’t hold up but personally I enjoyed it more than suicide squad 😂
Worse than Batman v Superman?
Got to be honest i really enjoyed it, just switch your brain off and enjoy it
That’s totally fair! We had fun while watching it for sure.

I think this was DC's attempt at Ragnarok ...Far prefer the serious presentation of WW in the other DC movies
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that if they ever do a Firefly reboot, Pedro Pascal should be the first actor offered the role of Malcolm Reynolds?
Why not just offer it to Nathan Fillion?
@@SchulzEricT well for one thing, he's already got a successful show currently.
@@DavidB-2268 Which one? They both do.
@@SchulzEricT Mandalorian isn't even going to start production until sometime next year, so the only one of them with a current full-time show is Fillion.
Pedro Pascal steals every single scene he's in. He's just an incredible actor. ☺ But then Kristen Wiig was incredible, too!

the best wonder woman was given to us was by snyder in justice league
LOL
I wish they use my body for Wonder Woman's next bf
lol, same
