@Cage: no, it wasn't you. It was the bit about the pro-American/anti-American thing that got a little twisted. Anyhow, it's died out.

I agree too, her past has changed significantly. If you take bits and pieces (the right ones in combination) she would be a really complex character with a lot to explore. But if they do take the warrior princess route, they will have to be very careful. The Greek god approach is a slippery slope. Those gods are usually protrayed as selfish, arrogant and completely uncaring of the human condition. If she is decendent of that, well, you see where that is going.

I am still hoping for the best, but ever since they announced the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman I am having issues with it. I still think she is too petite to pull it off. Even if she bulked up, she has a small frame and stature. I sat down with a friend of mine (read HUGE comic fan) and he named off a dozen other women who could have been cast, but each had their downfall. The number one show stopper was their height.

If she could act, and you dyed her hair black, Rhonda Rousey would be a good fit...

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
