Quote - 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 think the various Alex Ross projects featuring Wonder Woman have done a pretty good job of balancing aspects of the character.  Perhaps some of them have over-egged the warrior aspect, from my POV at least, but that may be due to the specifics of the stories.  But I tend to think that Alex Ross always gets it right.  :lol:  Alex Ross is to DC as Stephen Moffatt is to Doctor Who, in Cage's silly, little head.

It's a bit odd, perhaps, given what we do with character design in Poser, and particularly the Poser superhero projects which tend to absorb me, but I haven't really given much thought to the look of the performer for a Wonder Woman project.  I would like to think that if they come up with a compelling script and a worthwhile take on the character, perhaps the casting is somehow less essential.  I'm sure that isn't true, however... and I have my doubts about whether any mainstream, big budget film project will have the sort of storytelling constraints I imagine.  :lol:  I suppose the right performer with the right "look" and image could make or break a project like this.  "As beautiful as Aphrodite" might be a tough standard to meet.  (Assuming that idea is even part of the character now.  I can imagine that being one of the bits of background that might be less palatable to a modern audiences.  :unsure:)

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
