Wonder Woman Wednesday: Quote: Wonder Woman

I love watching the 2009 Wonder Woman animated movie, if you haven't seen it please do, it's amazing.

"Remarkable. The advanced brainwash that has been perpetuated upon the females of your culture. Raised from birth to believe that they’re not strong enough to compete with the boys. And then as adults, taught to trade on their very femininity.”

~ Diana to Steve Trevor from the Wonder Woman animated movie

Why Doesn't Wonder Woman Have More Animated Movies?

It's been nine years since the Wonder Woman animated movie which starred Keri Russell as the voice for Wonder Woman, was released on DVD/Blu-ray. And a sequel has still yet to be released, I don't know why because fans (myself included) really liked the movie and not to mention Warner Bros. recently re-released it with a redesigned cover.

At this point I doubt fans will ever get a sequel to that movie but if that's the case why hasn't there been any more animated movies released? Wonder Woman has a plethora of stories that could be adapted into animated movies. So there should not be any problem in finding stories. And with the LEGO animated movies so popular why hasn't she gotten one of those as well? I also don't understand why Wonder Woman has never had an animated series or got another live action series? Well, they did at least attempt another live action series back in 2011 but it was so terrible it didn't even make it to air but that should not stop them from trying again.

And seeing as Wonder Woman is one of DC Comics most popular characters and even more so after the success of the movie. The movie which was released in theatres last year (June 2, 2017) starred Gal Gadot as the titular character. And yet it's hard not to see how over looked the character has been. Because unlike Batman and Superman who have a long list of animated movies and TV series, Wonder Woman has only one animated movie (2009), one TV movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby as Wonder Woman (1974) and one TV series starring Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman (1975-1979). And that's it.

As a Wonder Woman fan, it's so disappointing because the character should have had more to show for in this medium. Over the years, the character has been included in several animated movies as part of an assembled cast but she only has one animated movie. Thankfully the live action movie will be getting a sequel but so far that is all that's been announced.

Maybe there are more things in the works but until something else is announced, what do you think it will take for Warner Bros. and DC Comics to finally focus on Wonder Woman and give her more animated movies?

Post Election Watch Party: Wonder Woman and Captain America

I watched Hillary Clinton's concession speech and it was so moving as well as being heartbreaking. It brought tears to my eyes. I would just like to say don't ever feel bad about crying, it's therapeutic. It truly made me feel a little better but I'm still sad. However, to pick myself up a bit I'm going to watch the Wonder Woman animated movie followed by Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War.

It's okay to feel down, angry or any other emotion you're experiencing, the main thing is to take care of yourself. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for how you are dealing with this election result. I'm going to take the time to let myself feel everything I'm feeling today and tomorrow I will be my same kind and caring self who sees the beauty in diversity and equality.

It's no coincidence my avatar is Wonder Woman reading a book because from my parents and from my love for comics and superheroes I have this inane sense to fight injustice. My parents are wonderful loving people who have taught me so much but what I love is that they taught me speak out and not to look the other way when you see something wrong.

Take care everyone, I won't be posting anything else until tomorrow. I'm off to watch Wonder Woman.

Book Review: Wonder Woman Novelization

Book: Wonder Woman Novelization by S.D. Perry and Britta Dennison

Description:

Born of the fallout from mythic wars fought among the Grecian gods and their mortal worshippers, Diana, warrior princess of the Amazon island nation of Themyscira, bursts into the modern world both as ambassador of her people and selfless protector of the innocent. And in so doing, she collides with the ignorance and imbalances of the twenty-first century, battling injustice as Wonder Woman. 

But even with skills and abilities to rival those of her Olympian namesake, Diana is put to the supreme test as the horrors of the ancient past rise again to wreak havoc upon the world. Now her indomitable will and astounding powers are pitted against the patient and all-encompassing malice of the War God Ares, who feeds on the strife created by humanity's propensity to turn against itself.

Currently Reading: Wonder Woman Novelization

This is based on the DC Comic's Wonder Woman animated movie. I love the movie and hope the novelization is just as good.

It doesn't matter if it's old or modern I always thought Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and Steve Trevor were a great couple. I just wanted to show off two images: the first from a comic and the second from the animated Wonder Woman movie.
