Just wanted to leave a small comment about your SDCC coverage: Thanks for everyone, you did great job with it!
I’m going to echo Jarmo’s sentiment — what a fantastic job!
I hope we get to hear EVERYONE’s thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it!
I wanted to comment on the somewhat dismissive nature of the discussion surrounding Wonder Woman’s costume. I don’t have any real issue with the costume itself, and I’m really excited for the movie. Still, I found your comments somewhat inconsistent. You were happy that they did away with the thong / spandex from the comics, but dismissed criticism of the high heels almost solely because they appear in the comics. Just because it’s shown in the comics doesn’t make it a good idea. And it’s not like Wonder Woman even always has heels. Do a Google image search and you see that she frequently wears boots with flat bottoms, which would be much easier to fight in.
I don’t know if any of you have ever tried to walk in high heels, let alone fight in them (yeah right) but it would be really unpractical. Like you say, there are good changes from the comic to the movie. I had really hoped the boots would be one of them. It’s a small detail, and not a real deal breaker as far as I’m concerned, but it is a legitimate criticism that I’ve heard at least one female staff member at Major Spoilers voice her displeasure over. Stuff like this stands out more for women because we know how brutal heels are. It was strange to hear you dismiss it so flippantly.
Just my opinion, I don’t mean to stir up a hornet’s nest but I wanted to speak my mind. I’m still excited for the movie and I will reserve judgement until I see Gal Godot in motion as Wonder Woman.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
To your point Kailey about high Heels, If you watch the fight scenes in Watchmen as the Silk Spectre fights you’ll notice the stunt woman is wearing flat shoes and not heals.
Can’t help but agree with this. I too don’t see it as a deal breaker and let’s be honest, we’re all going to see it opening weekend, but it really would be nice to see DC not put a female hero in heels just once. I’ll grant that it’s not nearly as ridiculous as the Cat Woman heels from DKR, but it is annoying how this is one tired practice that I don’t think ANYONE WOULD MIND SEEING LEAVE, just can’t be put to bed.
Also side bar, but I’m still not stoked on BvS yet. DC has done a pretty great job of disappointing me with their last few cinematic efforts (Man of Steel, Dark Knight Rises) so I’m passively putting my hype meter on “quelled” for right now.
One thing I’m glad to say I didn’t much of was people making issues with Gal Gadot nationality. Considering how openly anti-Semitic internet has become in the last few weeks its nice that at least in this people can just let it go.
Hey Stephen, gotta say I agree about your digital trade release idea, where companies will release the entire 12 issues (or however many issues it will be) all at once and allowing the consumer to grab/read them all at once. I think Marvel is working their way towards just that. If you look at how they have been releasing their “events” lately, they are throwing out 3 issues a month already. The nine issue run of ORIGINAL SIN (counting the zero issue) will be over well before the nine months it would normally take if they were releasing one issue a month. And that is not the first event to do that bi-monthly or tri-monthly shipping. Can’t be too long before they push more issues monthly,
