I came to the comment section to read this. Every once in a while I come back to this intro and it never fails to make me laugh. Also Mike's voicecrack when he screams "fuck it let's go see this movie" sounds so much like Morty from Rick&Morty which makes it even funnier.
"They didn't have the World War Cinematic Universe planned out yet" I hold nothing against Jay for laughing at his own joke, it's so good I would have done the same
That wasn't in the script. That was Gadot's initial reaction to arriving in London. The camera's weren't supposed to be rolling, but they decided to keep it in the final cut.
Bakatyler ? You think they were actually on a boat going down the Thames? And she said it at Tower bridge which is the middle of the city! You were just visited by bullshit man.
My favorite part is when a guy named Steve played by a guy named Chris sacrifices himself by flying some kind of German weapon away on a plane during one of the world wars....
...or flying a plane with bad stuff in it into the blue light in the sky in order to save earth. i.e. Independence Day and The Avengers. Steve Trevor just didn't have the luxury of the blue light.
"Ugh, how much more of this is there? Oh, I'm so full..." "What do you mean 'how much more'? I have four more cakes in the fridge!" "Do I have to eat it all?" Is that a metaphor for superhero movies? Like, a subtle dig at the amount of superhero movies that Hollywood is shoving into our eye-holes lately?
Close. They were skewering DC and Universal for concocting MCU-like mega franchises while not having even one well liked film out the door in the first place. Basically in a nutshell Mike is the studios who have erroneously created mega franchises to compete with MCU and are desperately trying to justify their poor investment. The cake is the numerous mega franchises created by said studios. Plinkett is the audience members who don't have the time or interest to keep track of mega franchise films but are only seeing them because nothing else is available.
@@paulgraves1392 no I think it's just that superhero movies are like cake/candy in that they are always sweet and enjoyable with a happy ending and funny moments and they are being shoveled down our throats one after another. You finished with that superhero movie? Don't worry, we've got 4 more in the fridge!
When "Ares" created a Sauron-like helmet you could see the British dude moustache through it and my friend and I started to laugh out loud in the middle of the theater. Everyone stared at us...
Everything about Ares was just comical down to his lines and voice. I wanted to laugh when Diana burst out of the tank treads and the camera switches over to Ares just staring wide eyed looking like he didn't know what to do with his hands. And then he's like "YES DIANA. THEY ARE UGLY."
He had an English accent in the movies. But isn't Scotland on the Island of Great Britain? So Scottish, English, and Welsh things are all also British.
@@jacobesnard WWI is worse than WWII because at least there were justifiable stakes in WWII. WWII had more horrific things happen in it but there were also heros and the allies were actually saving people. WWI was two sides fighting over pointless bullshit that accomplished basically nothing other than a lot of horribly killed/wounded soldiers. It was "the war to end all war" that cause a second war one generation later.
Given that they initially portrayed Ares as a schemer and not an all-out brute force villain, I think it would be the best if she unmasked him (something like the second Sherlock Holmes movie), forcing him to disappear. This would avoid the final fight with him (which wasn’t very good), keep him as a threat and show that there are different ways for a hero to defeat an enemy.
I knew going into the movie that it was going to be stupid, but I had a glimmer of hope when the writing of the film referenced several greek philosophers at several different points in the film. So I was really hoping that the twist would have been that Ares is long since dead with Diana learning that we all have the potential to be Ares. The movie wasn't that smart, unfortunately :P
I agree 100%. Ares destroyed gods and hurt Zeus in the Wonder Woman movie's story so he would have to be an absolute powerhouse and they destroy him in a ~8 minute action sequence. They should have certainly unmasked him, and if they needed a fight to end the movie with they could have written in that he escapes with his life.
I think it's more because they showed that picture of her in BvS that said "Belgium 1917". That's right the only reason this movie exists is because they used her being alive 100 years ago as the plot way to tell Batman she has superpowers. There's not even a real reason to make it a war movie at all otherwise.
regarding the ending, when she killed the German guy, that should have been what wrapped up the movie - that Ares doesn't exist (or at least was not involved) and that the message there is that, sometimes, bad people just do bad shit and there isn't anyone behind the scenes pulling the strings.
But the audiences want the big dumb actions to satisfy their short attention spans, savor that moment, because that's the closest we're gonna get to a legitimate message in these super hero movies.
zephc all Ares did was help them progress their plans faster...they had the intentions of doing all the stuff they did he just influenced it to speed it up,so the message is still there
Eh, if you're going to go that route, I'd rather have the message be, sometimes, *good* people do bad things. We've heard the bad people do bad things story, what, a gazillion times by now, and I think that helps create an us vs. them narrative where the good guys are pure and good and the bad guys are irredeemably evil.
The message was more that killing one guy doesn't magically save everyone, humans aren't controlled to do bad things because of some one bad guy, taking out one person in some epic battle won't end the war and save everyone because that isn't how real life is. Then immediately after she takes out one person and saves everyone because the people who made this are retarded
I was upset that Doctor Poison was kinda wasted. She felt cartoonishly bad, she almost fell for that Chris Pine's "I am fascinated with fire" bit. I wish there was more of her in the movie.
oRac00125 I really loved the part when she and the general gas the German officers and they laugh together. It was cheesy but it reminded me of the bad guys from the rocky and bullwinkle cartoon
Except that Wonder Woman looks good doing just about anything. She could be cleaning a sewer, and it would still be one of the hottest things I've ever seen. DAMMIT, WOMAN!! STOP MAKING WORLD WAR I LOOK SO SEXY!!!
Doubt it. The movie looks like it will be way different than BvS. But even if that is true, we have James Wan, Joss Whedon, Matt Reeves, Mathew Vaughn, and Patty Jenkins again coming down the pipe. Stay mad.
I think its kind of RedLetterMedia's fault to be honest. They said it was unfotunate that the film is surrounded by political stuff (and kind of implied it was all bad...) but also added politics righ in the start. But its silly some people have to discuss politics relating to a film so much.
I think the mistake RLM is making is it's not about "looking up" to someone and more about representation. There a lot of white dudes in film, superhero movies especially. People have been clamoring for a Black Widow movie for a while now. I think women are just really happy to have a good female led and directed superhero film for once. That's totally understandable.
Stijn van Kralingen whoa a couple of white guys who only work with other white men a d I think like one white woman don't understand representation? y'know, I'd never have guessed.
I think the whole over the top ending was Snyder and the studios idea. You can actively see Jenkins directing around it by keeping most of the pyrotechnics in the background to stay focused on Diana and Ares. Snyder just straight up lets Supes smack Doomsday-Zod into an oil refinery and then spends like 10 seconds on an aerial explosion shot that means nothibg. Major props to Jenkins for keeping it on the characters the whole time because that shit is so rare in blockbusters
+Breaking Banter The oil refinery explosion gives the heroes pause to get together and discuss the plot. Also, when Doomsday emerges it is like a devil walking through the flames of hell. Something Lex talked about, he even had a painting to illustrate it. But that's just me, to me it meant something, simplistic as it was.
Probably because she Gal was pregnant more than anything else. Had to film from waist up etc. Also you have no idea who wanted the over the top ending (although you're probably right), so you can't say for sure.
Wonder Woman felt like entering an unremarkable relationship after exiting an abusive one. Yeah, it's not great and it's not really good either, but at least you don't feel battered or contemplate suicide.
@@spcsongparodycentral4612 Oh, and how could I forget Meg Penny? This is why filmmakers need to do their research; great templates exist in lesser-known properties such as The Blob (1988) and Pitch Black.
It has a lot of Captain America in it, but also a lot of Thor. Transplanting names from mythology (this time Greek), and mainly about a naive deity being guided around the chaos of the world by a brave and compassionate mortal.
in case people are actually wondering how Harley got the cell phone in Suicide Squad (I believe it was a question that Mike had and it turned into a meme), she’s given the phone by Ike Barinholtz’s character, the security guard. Joker gave him the phone to pass along to Harley - the security guard slipped it to her while the Squad was being wheelchair’d to the tarmac after getting the bombs put in their necks. don’t ask me why I know this, I don’t have an answer for you.
this is how it happens... people go to the movies: the movie ends up being terrible. then they go again, its terrible again. then again. then finally a halfway decent/okay movie comes out and people are so used to being served absolute TRASSHHHH, that an okay movie gets raved about..
***SPOILERS*** I feel like I know what they were trying to get at when talking about with the ending of the movie but they seemed to have danced around it. There was a very pivotal moment near the end where the movie could have taken 2 very drastically different paths, one of which I thought the movie WAS going to go down (and I'll call it the Marvel movie path) and the other being the one it DID go down (the cannon Zack Snyder path). ***SPOILERS*** That moment right when she kills that German general and realizes nothing has changed was that point. In that moment she is under the impression that she has just vanquished Ares and it accomplished nothing. Pine's character admits to her that MAYBE its just in human nature to be evil. I REALLY thought from here on they were going to use Ares almost like an idea. A personification of humanities innate bloodlust and Wonder Woman was going to realize that shes suddenly no longer simply against a physical threat she can defeat with brute strength and metal. Not only that, but I never thought DC would have actually run with the idea to show a live action version of Ares. Not that general audiences aren't familiar with him (even from a purely mythological standpoint) but I would have been comfortable betting money that the director and studio would have felt like it was a little too on the nose to fist fight the physical embodiment of war and beat him into submission for a magical Phantom Menace ending where the war suddenly stops because the control ship was destroyed. Like I said, if it was a Marvel Studios movie, I feel as though they would have decided on altering the character of Ares into an idea (instead a physical character) to fit within the theme of the story up until that point. Then there's the cannon ending. The Zack Snyder path. Where after a brief bait and switch and after the hero loosing hope and BRIEFLY wrestling with the idea that maybe there never was an actual Ares, motherfucking Ares shows up and they have a doomsday fight which, to me, kind of defeated Pine's characters motivations and sacrifice and definitely lost out on much more interesting and farther reaching struggles for the main cast. Instead of having to figure out how to defeat the innate evil at the root of all war, Wonder Woman is able to go back to the idea of Ares still having been in control the whole time and stopping him stops everything. As much as I LOVE the DC version of Ares and as surprised as I was that I actually got to see him in all his armored glory doing awesome God of War level shit, I can't help but feel like the story would have benefited better from simply re-tooling the character as an idea in the hearts of all mankind and dealing with the horrors of war instead of the BvS type slugfest we got at the end which undermined the movies themes and message up until that point. Just my VERY LONG WINDED 2 cents.
I have a spoiler for you: the characters' motivations and the lessons about the nature of evil in this movie are utterly trivial and much less interesting than you are making them out to be. just enjoy the sexy armor and read a book on moral philosophy later
I was really hoping it would go the way you were talking about, and I was really disappointed that it didn't, it really felt like that's where patty Jenkins wanted to go with it, but it was a studio mandate that "there must be a big fight with a big bad at the end of the movie, we can't just have the movie end without a big fight!"
The mainstream audience would be too distracted by her convoluted backstory and boob window to take her seriously. I mean, don't get me wrong, I fucking love Power Girl, unironically even. But at the risk of sounding like a cynic, I just doubt that a movie about her would ever get off the ground.
This is the first time ever that there's been a strong, bad-ass, tough woman who holds her own against the men! Well, except for Ripley in Alien, Sarah Connor in Terminator 2, Buffy, River in Firefly/Serenity (basically every female lead Joss Whedon writes), Lara Croft, Evelyn Salt (and almost every character Angelina Jolie has played), Emily Blunt's character on Edge of Tomorrow, most Bond girls of the past 10 years, Katniss Everdeen, Trinity in The Matrix, Kate Beckinsdale/Mila Jovovich in their video game/zombie franchises, Jessica Jones, Michele Rodriguez, Michele Yeoh, Zoe Saldana in almost everything, The Bride in Kill Bill, Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max, etc, etc.
People (over the age of 6) look up to fictional characters to a certain extent. I think it's more about identifying with certain characters because you feel like they're going through the same things you are or because they exhibit qualities you want to acquire. A lot of anthropologists got into their field because they were pulled in by the Indiana Jones movies: he made it look cool and projected this image of being a smart, worldly, handsome man. Some people don't have images in their immediate reality to aspire to, which is unfortunate. I will agree that it is a stretch that women have been waiting for a Wonder Woman movie so that little girls can "finally" have someone to look up to. Especially since there have been movies about Margaret Thatcher, the Hidden Figures ladies, Amelia Earhart, Frida Calo, etc. They may not be blockbusters, but if you want to show your young girl something about powerful women, there are no shortage of films to choose from really.
Regarding the ending, I think it wasn't essential for WW to fight Ares at all. It might have been fun to use the Ares reveal to lead into a sequel. But, it is clearly hard for directors to make superhero movies without huge climactic battles. I think this was designed (by the studio) purely to provide a WW back story for the DCEU, so needed to be somewhat self-contained. There's a lot of pressure on scriptwriters and directors to deliver movies that fit within the studio and audience expectations, which is sad.
I about pooped my pants laughing when I saw you were reading Planet X! I remember that book so well! Also, feel kind of meh about this movie. I definitely agree with this review.
Mike is kind of like Aries. As anyone who's seen the Maze Runner: The Death Cure review knows, the gay pheromones didn't work -- Jay and Plinkett were going to fall in love either way, and Mike was just nudging them in the right direction.
Her crossing no man's land after everyone tells her she can't got the best reaction from the audience I was in, it was absolutely the best part of the movie. That's a SUPERHERO!
This movie takes place during a event you may have heard of before... I don't know, it wasn't really a big deal. Just a small event called WORLD WAR ONE
can you watch the new pirates of the caribbean and let us know if it sucks? i don't want to waste my time if it sucks, ill let you find it out for me instead
nate_figs it's better than the fourth one, which isn't saying much. There are 3 or 4 good moments, other than that, it's a pirates movie. Great visuals, Great soundtrack, decent acting, meh story, terrible cliches, and the ending (while visually appealling) felt boring for some reason.
I was going to see it then asked one of the workers at the theater if it was good. He said if you liked Johnny Depps humorous evolution of The character Jack Sparrow I would. Went to see Wonder Woman instead and was pleasantly surprised considering the last string of clusterfuck DC films.
He would've been long dead once Justice League rolls around anyways. Might as well have him die in the war if he's not going to be around for anything relevant.
She's immortal. This way was better than having a couple of lines of exposition in the next movie, explaining how they broke up in 1940 when he got too old to make her cum
Fun historical fact: sometimes during WW1 it was actually described as "the first world war", and after 1918 everyone talked about trying to avoid a "second world war". Now for the really important terminology complaint: why oh why is the command to the Amazon archers "fire"? :(
Haha when they said that I thought to myself ummm no the reason the movie had coherence an was good not great was snyders involvement That's just there personal biases which we all have I personally like zachs movies except for sucker punch ugh
@blueshit199 bro......swears on everything if u like GOOD action and tight spy storytelling Captain America winter soldier is where it's at It's one of the best ACTION movies I've ever seen
My favorite thing about RLM is that they don’t pick sides, they watch a movie for what it is and give an honest opinion without brown nosing anyone. The opening to this episode perfectly illustrates this and I love how over the top the joke is, it’s almost like they know what their talking about. Other critics need to start taking notes
Lmao this whole review Jay was basically like "Well all of these movies did it so much worse, and so at least this movie didn't do that, so im okay with it"

question, i didn't saw the movie, but why it talks about ww 1 but german soldiers shown in clips clearly wear ww 2 uniforms. It's during both wars ?
It's probably just the helmets, in 1916 the Germans ditched the old spiked helmets and replaced them with the more WWII-styled steel helmets.

DAMMIT, WOMAN!! STOP MAKING WORLD WAR I LOOK SO SEXY!!!
It's her Israeli training at work
i would drink her bath water even if she had the covid
@@AltCTRLF8 imagine
I always want the intro to be "fuck movies"
SlyRy I agree
Dont worry everyone, DC will be back to their old shitty grim formula come November.
Doubt it. The movie looks like it will be way different than BvS. But even if that is true, we have James Wan, Joss Whedon, Matt Reeves, Mathew Vaughn, and Patty Jenkins again coming down the pipe. Stay mad.
80% of those movies are coming down the pipe in 2019.
music guy So Justice League will be different like not shitty? Doubt it. Snyder had a knack for shitty movies
WWI isn't grim? Ok.
Nuzlocker the fact that WWI felt positively refreshing compared to the other movies in the franchise speaks volumes.
"i loved him on airwolf." the best joke on half in the bag that i've ever heard.
This is a review of a film and most of the comments are people whining about Hillary Clinton and Margaret Thatcher. Typical day on RUclips.
brucewayne79 Did you expect better????
I think its kind of RedLetterMedia's fault to be honest. They said it was unfotunate that the film is surrounded by political stuff (and kind of implied it was all bad...) but also added politics righ in the start. But its silly some people have to discuss politics relating to a film so much.
Where do people mostly whine about Margaret Thatcher?
I think the mistake RLM is making is it's not about "looking up" to someone and more about representation. There a lot of white dudes in film, superhero movies especially. People have been clamoring for a Black Widow movie for a while now. I think women are just really happy to have a good female led and directed superhero film for once. That's totally understandable.
Stijn van Kralingen whoa a couple of white guys who only work with other white men a d I think like one white woman don't understand representation? y'know, I'd never have guessed.
I think the whole over the top ending was Snyder and the studios idea. You can actively see Jenkins directing around it by keeping most of the pyrotechnics in the background to stay focused on Diana and Ares.
Snyder just straight up lets Supes smack Doomsday-Zod into an oil refinery and then spends like 10 seconds on an aerial explosion shot that means nothibg. Major props to Jenkins for keeping it on the characters the whole time because that shit is so rare in blockbusters
+Breaking Banter
The oil refinery explosion gives the heroes pause to get together and discuss the plot. Also, when Doomsday emerges it is like a devil walking through the flames of hell. Something Lex talked about, he even had a painting to illustrate it.
But that's just me, to me it meant something, simplistic as it was.
Probably because she Gal was pregnant more than anything else. Had to film from waist up etc. Also you have no idea who wanted the over the top ending (although you're probably right), so you can't say for sure.
Watching 3+ year old movie reviews because you guys are so entertaining
Here at 5+ years. Same.
Looks like Plinkett is going to break new ground tonight...
Wonder Woman felt like entering an unremarkable relationship after exiting an abusive one. Yeah, it's not great and it's not really good either, but at least you don't feel battered or contemplate suicide.
Yummy Puddinpops IT BROKE NEW GROUND!
Yummy Puddinpops But didn't you clap when you saw Wonder Woman?
Yummy Puddinpops Wonder Woman greatly increased my respect for women.
American Dream I saw Wonder Woman and liked it, but I still don't respect women.
DON'T CONTEMPLATE SUICIDE SQUAD
You know Rich Evens should have been in this review.
Ares the god of war was a scrawny professor from harry potter with male pattern baldness and a thick mustache, interesting choice
By interesting, you mean fucking awful, right?
Chingalling He had the mustache as he fell from the Olymp?
Sadly, Ares was the only character from this movie I liked.
He was an asshole prince in Dragonheart long before Harry Potter.
He could have changed actors after the reveal, but the popcorn munching masses would probably have been so confused
the way rlm sets their ad breaks is comedy by itself....
Everyone forgets about Ripley. Sad.
What about Sarah Connor?
Also Lindsey Brigman, Carolyn Fry, FemShep, Clarice Starling, Æon Flux, Aki Ross, and Kathryn Janeway. There’s no excuse for a lousy female lead.
Is that you donald trump

@@spcsongparodycentral4612 Oh, and how could I forget Meg Penny? This is why filmmakers need to do their research; great templates exist in lesser-known properties such as The Blob (1988) and Pitch Black.

It has a lot of Captain America in it, but also a lot of Thor. Transplanting names from mythology (this time Greek), and mainly about a naive deity being guided around the chaos of the world by a brave and compassionate mortal.
this exactly!!!
"Hello, welcome to Half In The Bag, I'm Mike, and he's GAY, I mean JAY."
It wasn't a big deal, y'know, but you might've heard of it. It was called WORLD WAR 1
Wonder Woman deserves an oscar because it took 12 years to make
Ohhhhh, I LOVED the Airwolf quip! About the only 80s show left without a dark, gritty reboot...
But how did Harley get that ****ing phone?!
in case people are actually wondering how Harley got the cell phone in Suicide Squad (I believe it was a question that Mike had and it turned into a meme), she’s given the phone by Ike Barinholtz’s character, the security guard. Joker gave him the phone to pass along to Harley - the security guard slipped it to her while the Squad was being wheelchair’d to the tarmac after getting the bombs put in their necks.
don’t ask me why I know this, I don’t have an answer for you.
Jay's gestures at the beginning when he goes "Bigger!" has me dying.
Unpopular opinion: I thought this movie was 'just okay'. Which is a masterpiece compared to Batman Vs. Superman.
Basicly a live action remake of the Wonder Woman animated movie from 2009.
That seems to be the 'popular' opinion actually.
this is how it happens... people go to the movies: the movie ends up being terrible. then they go again, its terrible again. then again. then finally a halfway decent/okay movie comes out and people are so used to being served absolute TRASSHHHH, that an okay movie gets raved about..
that's exactly what they were ssaying
I think the first 2/3 of it were really good, and the last 1/3 brought it down to pretty decent
The movie was pretty good up until the final battle. Then it turned into some ridiculous CGI bullshit reminiscent of Fant4stic.
You are describing Wonder Woman (2017)
You are describing The Godfather Part II (1974)
The idea of The Godfather ending with a CGI fight scene is funnier than it should be

*Michael throws lightning at Fredo*
I got the Vibe Mike really liked it, but had no idea how to deal with actually liking one of these new DC movies.
***SPOILERS***
I feel like I know what they were trying to get at when talking about with the ending of the movie but they seemed to have danced around it. There was a very pivotal moment near the end where the movie could have taken 2 very drastically different paths, one of which I thought the movie WAS going to go down (and I'll call it the Marvel movie path) and the other being the one it DID go down (the cannon Zack Snyder path).
***SPOILERS***
That moment right when she kills that German general and realizes nothing has changed was that point. In that moment she is under the impression that she has just vanquished Ares and it accomplished nothing. Pine's character admits to her that MAYBE its just in human nature to be evil. I REALLY thought from here on they were going to use Ares almost like an idea. A personification of humanities innate bloodlust and Wonder Woman was going to realize that shes suddenly no longer simply against a physical threat she can defeat with brute strength and metal. Not only that, but I never thought DC would have actually run with the idea to show a live action version of Ares. Not that general audiences aren't familiar with him (even from a purely mythological standpoint) but I would have been comfortable betting money that the director and studio would have felt like it was a little too on the nose to fist fight the physical embodiment of war and beat him into submission for a magical Phantom Menace ending where the war suddenly stops because the control ship was destroyed. Like I said, if it was a Marvel Studios movie, I feel as though they would have decided on altering the character of Ares into an idea (instead a physical character) to fit within the theme of the story up until that point.
Then there's the cannon ending. The Zack Snyder path. Where after a brief bait and switch and after the hero loosing hope and BRIEFLY wrestling with the idea that maybe there never was an actual Ares, motherfucking Ares shows up and they have a doomsday fight which, to me, kind of defeated Pine's characters motivations and sacrifice and definitely lost out on much more interesting and farther reaching struggles for the main cast. Instead of having to figure out how to defeat the innate evil at the root of all war, Wonder Woman is able to go back to the idea of Ares still having been in control the whole time and stopping him stops everything.
As much as I LOVE the DC version of Ares and as surprised as I was that I actually got to see him in all his armored glory doing awesome God of War level shit, I can't help but feel like the story would have benefited better from simply re-tooling the character as an idea in the hearts of all mankind and dealing with the horrors of war instead of the BvS type slugfest we got at the end which undermined the movies themes and message up until that point. Just my VERY LONG WINDED 2 cents.
Her mettle you mean?
I have a spoiler for you: the characters' motivations and the lessons about the nature of evil in this movie are utterly trivial and much less interesting than you are making them out to be. just enjoy the sexy armor and read a book on moral philosophy later
I was really hoping it would go the way you were talking about, and I was really disappointed that it didn't, it really felt like that's where patty Jenkins wanted to go with it, but it was a studio mandate that "there must be a big fight with a big bad at the end of the movie, we can't just have the movie end without a big fight!"
@@krystofhanzlik7592 christ what a shitty attitude.
Yes, you captured my reaction perfectly
Forget Wonder Woman, where is my goddamn Power Girl movie?!
The better Supergirl ;)
pornhub im not joking
Crow Bruh, I don't even read comics, I have just always liked her character design. Plus I love how dumb her name is.
Naoto Shirogane So Barb Wire?
The mainstream audience would be too distracted by her convoluted backstory and boob window to take her seriously.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I fucking love Power Girl, unironically even. But at the risk of sounding like a cynic, I just doubt that a movie about her would ever get off the ground.
"I loved him on Airwolf."
Dead.
"I have love and hopefulness", said Wonder Woman.
"I have 'throwing shit at you'", Ares replied
This is the first time ever that there's been a strong, bad-ass, tough woman who holds her own against the men! Well, except for Ripley in Alien, Sarah Connor in Terminator 2, Buffy, River in Firefly/Serenity (basically every female lead Joss Whedon writes), Lara Croft, Evelyn Salt (and almost every character Angelina Jolie has played), Emily Blunt's character on Edge of Tomorrow, most Bond girls of the past 10 years, Katniss Everdeen, Trinity in The Matrix, Kate Beckinsdale/Mila Jovovich in their video game/zombie franchises, Jessica Jones, Michele Rodriguez, Michele Yeoh, Zoe Saldana in almost everything, The Bride in Kill Bill, Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max, etc, etc.
People (over the age of 6) look up to fictional characters to a certain extent. I think it's more about identifying with certain characters because you feel like they're going through the same things you are or because they exhibit qualities you want to acquire. A lot of anthropologists got into their field because they were pulled in by the Indiana Jones movies: he made it look cool and projected this image of being a smart, worldly, handsome man. Some people don't have images in their immediate reality to aspire to, which is unfortunate. I will agree that it is a stretch that women have been waiting for a Wonder Woman movie so that little girls can "finally" have someone to look up to. Especially since there have been movies about Margaret Thatcher, the Hidden Figures ladies, Amelia Earhart, Frida Calo, etc. They may not be blockbusters, but if you want to show your young girl something about powerful women, there are no shortage of films to choose from really.
Maggy Thatcher a role model???
Who should've been the villain of 1984
Ares has now taken the form of Mike Stoklasa.
31:43 Oh man, I love Mike's Palpy style laughing.
Wonder Woman was a better Superman than Superman
You mean better than Man of Steel.
I think both castings were pretty much dead on
Regarding the ending, I think it wasn't essential for WW to fight Ares at all. It might have been fun to use the Ares reveal to lead into a sequel.
But, it is clearly hard for directors to make superhero movies without huge climactic battles. I think this was designed (by the studio) purely to provide a WW back story for the DCEU, so needed to be somewhat self-contained. There's a lot of pressure on scriptwriters and directors to deliver movies that fit within the studio and audience expectations, which is sad.
I'm so confused, I thought the ending was where Mr Plinkett went gay....
Susan's pregnant!? congratulations!
livid sphincter But is it Mr. Plinkett's baby?!
This was the greatest intro that you guys have ever fashioned.
I about pooped my pants laughing when I saw you were reading Planet X! I remember that book so well!
Also, feel kind of meh about this movie. I definitely agree with this review.
I still own _Planet X_. I don't have the preceding comic anymore; it burned in a house fire. :o(
r0bw00d That's AWESOME!
Mike's laugh at the end is unedited.
What an ending......to this episode! Loved the twist.
And the commentary about Wonder Woman was pretty good too.
Mike is kind of like Aries. As anyone who's seen the Maze Runner: The Death Cure review knows, the gay pheromones didn't work -- Jay and Plinkett were going to fall in love either way, and Mike was just nudging them in the right direction.
And a shitty director can squeeze an awful performance out of really good actors (Star Wars Episode I - III)
Jigsaw407 especially phantom menace. Jezus christ liam neeson
Remember mark wahlberg in the happening?
I thought that ewan McGregor was the only good performance from the prequels
@@Prep5242 It's really not difficult to get a terrible performance out of Marky Mark.
Hayden Christensen did well with what he had to work with.
Her crossing no man's land after everyone tells her she can't got the best reaction from the audience I was in, it was absolutely the best part of the movie. That's a SUPERHERO!
"We've got to stop Blue Laser" -- Mike outs himself as a Cheat Commandos fan. (Rock rock on!)
You boys wanna smoke some candy with me?
Mrs Commanderson, she's some kind of bird/reptile. And she teaches pre-k!
"How is Wonder Woman suppose to fight the evil in the hearts of men?"
Only the Shadow knows.
my favorite part is when Wonder Woman used Gmail.
That into made me piss myself laughing!!
This movie takes place during a event you may have heard of before... I don't know, it wasn't really a big deal. Just a small event called WORLD WAR ONE
looking back....Wonder Woman is better than Captain Marvel
well yeah
True
can you watch the new pirates of the caribbean and let us know if it sucks? i don't want to waste my time if it sucks, ill let you find it out for me instead
nate_figs it sucks
I'll save you the trouble, it sucks.
nate_figs it's better than the fourth one, which isn't saying much. There are 3 or 4 good moments, other than that, it's a pirates movie. Great visuals, Great soundtrack, decent acting, meh story, terrible cliches, and the ending (while visually appealling) felt boring for some reason.
I was going to see it then asked one of the workers at the theater if it was good. He said if you liked Johnny Depps humorous evolution of The character Jack Sparrow I would. Went to see Wonder Woman instead and was pleasantly surprised considering the last string of clusterfuck DC films.
nate_figs it isn't really good but it isn't bad. it is more meh.
"I'm so sick of everything inside of a movie theater."
Just wait, Mr. Plinkett....2020 has something that's right up your alley.
This intro is too funny.
they killed Chris pine for literally no reason but they had to copy the captain America ending
He would've been long dead once Justice League rolls around anyways. Might as well have him die in the war if he's not going to be around for anything relevant.
She's immortal. This way was better than having a couple of lines of exposition in the next movie, explaining how they broke up in 1940 when he got too old to make her cum
Fun historical fact: sometimes during WW1 it was actually described as "the first world war", and after 1918 everyone talked about trying to avoid a "second world war".
Now for the really important terminology complaint: why oh why is the command to the Amazon archers "fire"? :(
Hindsight reveals that snyder’s involvement was what made this film good as evidenced by its sequel which he had no part in.
Haha when they said that I thought to myself ummm no the reason the movie had coherence an was good not great was snyders involvement
That's just there personal biases which we all have
I personally like zachs movies except for sucker punch ugh
this may come as a shock to you, but maybe superhero movies universally suck regardless of what studio and what director makes them?
@@blueshit199 but that's not true
Winter soldier was a really good MOVIE and a good superhero movie
@@slappydoodle you got me there, I haven't seen it
@blueshit199 bro......swears on everything if u like GOOD action and tight spy storytelling
Captain America winter soldier is where it's at

***** OOOHHH!!!! FUCKING LOVE DC!!!!!!
*jerks off while wearing a Batman mask*
I APPLAUD IT FOR BEING DIFFERENT
My favorite thing about RLM is that they don’t pick sides, they watch a movie for what it is and give an honest opinion without brown nosing anyone. The opening to this episode perfectly illustrates this and I love how over the top the joke is, it’s almost like they know what their talking about. Other critics need to start taking notes
lol the ending killed me, nice villain laugh from mike
YOU KEEP HITTING THE FUCKING HOME RUNS DC
It's true what Jay says, a good director can get a good performance out of anyone
God bless you RLM. After a painful, depressing night on A.V. Club you are a cleansing morning shower.
It's kind of wierd to hear them call Steve Trevor "the Chris Pine character". That's like calling Lois Lane "the Amy Adams character".
That opening was everything.
Time for RichEvan-errr, I mean "Mr. Plinkett" to show Jay his "Wendy's Ad"
Lmao this whole review Jay was basically like "Well all of these movies did it so much worse, and so at least this movie didn't do that, so im okay with it"
"Biiiiiigger than thaaaaaat!!!!!!!!???????"
Still makes me cry laugh after all these years
I completely lost it at Mr. Plinketts choke at 1:45 and couldn't stop laughing. XD These 30 seconds, amazing. You're the best XD
