    I think a lot of this rewrite is great, the changes to Cheetah especially. Only thing is, I think the whole "Diana can't stay on Themyscira because of the law" thing feels a little odd. Like it didn't seem like anyone would actually care if they went back on their word and let Diana stay, everyone on the island seems to love Diana, and the conflict doesn't seem super necessary to the story. It might even work better if they do welcome Diana with open arms, but Diana still doesn't feel like she belongs back at home, like how Frodo can't really enjoy being back at the Shire at the end of LotR because of his quest. And it would make her subsequent leaving the island more of an emotional choice, like how getting rid of Steve was in the original WW84, choosing to leave to save Barbara and the island, instead of being forced to leave regardless.

      I thought the same thing. I think it would work well and maybe even better if they accept her with open arts and she starts to settle into the life, training the young warriors, but ultimately discovers that it does not bring her the joy it though she would, and she starts remembering her friendships (Barbara and Erica) and the little things she liked about her life away from the island. Then later after a particularly challenging day, she picks up the mirror and sees the museum or whatever, and realizes that the mirror doesn't show her Themyscira but rather "home". Then we can get the realization about Max's plan and that cements that her returning to the world of man is the right decision.

    The final bit with the mirror was so clever. Like, if the thing he cared about was anything else than he would've picked up how the magic mirror works and been able to lie. Same if it had just been a stone that showed you what you cared about. But seeing yourself in a mirror is just what you expect. Brings a whole new interpretation at the last moment tied to it being a mirror. Really cool.

    One small change: instead of the second invisible jet (which I think is a tad redundant), what if the way Diana returns to man’s world is through the Golden Armor for a great Wondy flight scene. I think it’s a great way to integrate that detail into the story in a meaningful way, maybe even make it a final gift from Hippolyta to her daughter.

      Not a huge wonder woman fan, but I think the issue with the armor in general is that it's not nearly as iconic as other parts of her mythos. The jet is a pretty standard part of wonder woman's character in a lot of media, but the armor was a nearly forgotten piece of her character from the 90's (I think)

  • @davajita
    @davajita 2 года назад +152

    Well this is absolutely a gigantic improvement over the mess that was WW84. Bangup job, as always. I only have a couple of suggestions - first, I think Max's motivation to destroy Themyscira in this version is a little weak. He doesn't directly take control of anyone or anything, he just wants to have major influence and everyone in his pocket and it's kind of hard to see how or why Themyscira would threaten that. I can see how he would set Diana up with the surveillance on the jet just to see where she goes, so maybe something specific is triggered in him when he sees the island that we could establish earlier in the film which causes him to want to destroy or maybe expose and exploit it, like one of his big failed ambitions as a younger entrepreneur was always falling just short of a rival who would buy some pristine land and build on it before he could, causing him to lose millions in investments. That could also be tied into his desire to get the stone before the other guy in Act 1.
    Next, the plot point about Diana being forced to leave Themyscira seems a little forced and discordant. I think it would work well and maybe even better if the amazons accept her with open arms and she starts to settle into the life, training the young warriors, but ultimately discovers that it does not bring her the joy it though she would, and she starts remembering her friendships (Barbara and Erica) and the little things she liked about her life away from the island. Then later after a particularly challenging day, she picks up the mirror and sees the museum or whatever, and realizes that the mirror doesn't show her Themyscira but rather her greatest desire. Then we can get the realization about Max's plan and that cements that her returning to the world of man is the right decision.
    Lastly, it seems like Barbara's connection to Max is not really established well by the time she is willing to fight and die for him. Maybe we need to straight-up put them in a relationship, and sprinkle hints that he starts to become her main source of financial support, which begins to create a co-dependent relationship where she has to do things like ask permission for things, so it really drives the point home later with the excellent payoff with him seeing himself in the mirror at the end. I'm also not sure I buy her resentment of Diana at that point either. All Diana really did was leave. Maybe during the time when they are both fighting crime, Diana is constantly one-upping Barbara and it starts to wear on her to the point where she begins seeing Diana as a rival rather than a compatriot. And it culminates at one point where Barbara attempts to stretch herself too far by trying to catch the bad guy and rescue someone at the same time (something Diana could easily do), but fails at both, and Diana has to pick up the slack (like the ferry scene in Spider-man Homecoming). So besides her abilities failing, she also has a desire to become stronger than Diana, which further fuels her lust for greater power.
    And Burunda is from Marvel comics isn't it? Probably at the end show Barbara specifically researching the ancient plant god Urzkartaga, if we want to do an easter egg to the Cheetah origin story.

    • @lovemarlee
      @lovemarlee 2 года назад +29

      I totally agree with this. But instead of the motivation to leave Themyscira coming just from her own turmoil, I think she needs to be challenged on it a bit: She returns home, she starts training the young Amazons, all of whom consider her their hero and role model. They bombard her with questions about the world of man and talk all about how they want to be protectors of worlds other than their own, how they want to help the entire world, not just Themyscira.
      But some (maybe just one little girl in a one-on-one moment with Diana, maybe they're having a heart to heart because the young girl wants to give up on training, after seeing Diana give up on the world of man) also question why she would come back after so many of them dream of the adventure, but she doesn't have a good answer.
      She says she missed home, but the girl asks if that's enough to never go back. Diana says that man will never reach the peace she had hoped, the girl asks if that means that there's no point trying. Diana says that she's tried, the girl gets even more discouraged, so now Diana has to backtrack and reflect on the good she's done there and all of the "little things" that have really changed her for the better (mostly the relationships with humans).
      From there she has to sort out her longing for being back home and the knowledge that the world of man is where she belongs and is needed. She looks to the mirror for guidance, it shows her Barbara, then we're back into Nando's rewrite.

    • @mars_12345
      @mars_12345 2 года назад +5

      I agree that the relationship part needs a bit of improvement. Maybe some sort of a friendship triangle: Max leans more towards Diana, Diana leans towards Barbara, Barbara leans towards Diana. I know that for a real triangle someone needs to point towards Max, but I think this way it can still work and be even more realistic, Max being sort of a third wheel in this trio (though being liked in general), and Diana and Barbara having quite a strong bond.
      Then Diana leaves and both Max and Barbara re-focus on each other. Barbara is in more of disappointment and sorrow state and needs someone to fill the gap, and Max has more anger and starts to use Barbara. Then we have stronger, emotional connection for Barbara hating Diana and liking Max, which makes her be on his side. Then the mirror scene basically works the same, showing who really cares about who.
      This could show a) abandoning friends, even for family, is bad; b) treating people in a group as a third wheel could be even worse.
      Shallow? Stretched? Not realistic? Please share your thoughts :)

    i really like this rewrite as it fleshes out the dynamic and friendship of cheetah and wonder woman, and doesnt rely on the ‘nerdy girl wants to be more like popular girl and has to learn to be herself’, you built it into a more tangible desire to be powerful enough to save others *the way* diana does, admiring a specific quality and wanting to embody it in a literal way. overall a nice entertaining story too, i like the archeological excavation stuff alot!

    I wanted to love Wonder Woman 1984 so much, but watching it, I just felt.. let down.. It wasn't just the cheese factor, and it wasn't just the 'easy outs' that it used.. it felt.. lazy. I couldn't really put my finger on it, but you've definitely done so. I loved what they did do with Steve in the movie, but just like you, I felt like it ultimately shouldn't have been included. I must say, Nando, that your rewrite, if it had been the movie we got, would have absolutely been one I enjoyed. Thanks for doing this. It's just a shame we won't be able to see it on the big screen.

I am old, and I want a version of Superman (and by extension the DCEU) that shows that heroes, and by extension super heroes, are extraordinary individuals that sacrifice their own well being to make the world a better place. They do the right thing by the third act, they get hurt protecting innocent ordinary individuals, and the world is overall better because they exist. They do more than stop super villains from taking over, they inspire us real people to try to be more like them within reason. Watchmen should be a dark parody of the DCEU, not the way the DCEU actually is.

Rex: ehn, ever since our little retreat, ive been in a state of metomorphasis...he goes to stop them maybe a gun or other weapon...a blurred cheetah takes him down, but doesnt kill him. It both acknowledges how before barb beat him properly, and shows how corrupted she is with power when she beats him physically, further more it builds up cheetah a bit before the big debut...just a thought
