what i don't understand with that wonderwoman horribleness is why didn't they use the new redone costume? this is the new official costume of wonderwoman for the new century
Actually, the NBC costume supposedly WAS using that. Personally though I think even the comic update is a horrendous FAIL and from what I've read, the NBC take on Diana is bordering on sacrilegious. It's an insincere attempt at modesty or pleasing the feminist extremists or something but it just doesn't fly for someone who LOVED the old Diana in the spangled underwear (partly because of her ability to get away with wearing something like that in the first place!) When Lynda wore the suit, it didn't appear slutty or sleazy or cheap the way the new costume looks even with 5x more material.
What's worse is, according to the leaked pilot script, Kelley has Diana out at a bar commiserating with gal pals about how she can't meet a decent guy... AS IF! Having survived for hundreds of years on an island exclusively populated by women, not only would Diana NOT engage in such an absurdity as mooning over landing a man, I daresay she would think less of any woman who thought so little of herself as to need one enough to worry about it in that manner. With the exception of Steve Trevor, I doubt she would even entertain the notion of bothering to put up with a man considering their flawed nature.
The animated series have portrayed Diana very well (IMO, one of the best scenes is in the Batman/Supes Armageddon movie which doesn't even mention her significant participation in the synopsis.) So why is it so hard to get that to translate into a modern live action version? I think the problem is the hang-up on the "modern" idea: If you look at the 70's rendition, the weakest link is probably the action scenes which come off a bit cheesy, but they get the basic character right. Today's women are so ****ed in the head its almost impossible to give them someone they can relate to that isn't a sniveling mess in some way. The treatment in the casting sheet actually uses the words "vulnerable woman." (BARF! - Batman is a mortal with some serious psychological baggage, Supes has Kryptonite as his weakness, but nobody felt the need to accent even their alter egos as "vulnerable", did they?) in I'm very afraid this NBC reboot is going to turn out to be a travesty in the eyes of the old fans but actually considered good by the newbie's who don't know any better.
and here's me in the suit via Photoshop (though its remarkably similar to the how I looked in the $500 costume I bought at Trashy Lingerie just because it was so close to the real thing - which at least LOOKS more expensive and less cheap than the NBC version though I don't actually know how much theirs cost. Heck, I could and have done better with stuff I have laying around the house ):
EDIT>>> @ Ripster : For God's sake, Germany may have boobs, but get that woman some protein for Heaven's sake - her arms look like toothpicks!!
