Wonder Woman's third-weekend gross is $41.3M, only a 29% drop from the second weekend. It even beat the third weekends of the last three MCU movies starring RDJ (Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3).
https://twitter.com/GiteshPandya/sta...01979238035457 The sequel to Wonder Woman is going to be a monster at the box office. And Diana will definitely be a boost to Justice League five months down the road. |

It's probably explained in the comics, but I now find it strange that none of the movie Amazons "sensed" Ares as soon as the war started, rather than having to hear about it from Steve after millions had already died. If war stirs up hatred in men's hearts, wouldn't the Amazons have sensed the German boats coming long before they breached the barrier? The war had been going on for about three years before Steve arrived; surely atrocities would have occurred within range of Themyscira for someone to have "felt" Ares' influence.
The Amazons were created to fight for peace, but until Steve they were completely ignorant that the outside world had already changed for the worse and had needed them for three years. How could they fulfill their purpose if they only learn about it in hindsight? Was Ares that good at hiding the war from their senses? |

That's true. It didn't help that the Queen was the most skeptical, choosing to live by the possibility that Ares might never return, because she was obsessed with establishing a normal life for her special daughter. I wonder if by the time Steve arrived, Hippolyta had already sensed Ares might be awake and been jealously hoarding it just to have a little more time with Diana. But once Steve confirmed it openly, there was nothing she could do.

And that's the point of Diana, being the only child she was raised on stories of their battles, their purpose in fighting Ares, etc etc. She had all that youthful fire and purpose and hope. And a healthy dose of naiveté in having been kept on the island. But she was right in terms of going forward into the world again to fight Ares and try and save people it's just all the other Amazons had grown up with fighting, so even though they practiced and trained it's not the same as real battle and they weren't as excited at the idea of losing that peace they had earned. |

Maybe that's what confused me. It reminded me of Japanese holdout soldiers like Hiiro Oonoda who spent years stationed after 1945, oblivious that the war was over because the Allies had cut off all communication during it. When someone finally arrived, it took them a while to believe it.
The Amazons' purpose was squandered because they were marooned for centuries in a Bermuda triangle. That could explain lack of physical interaction or communication, but I guess I didn't expect that would extend to being cut off from sensing conflict of any kind, especially one as massive as the war. Especially since they had been created as a result of war, to fight for peace. You'd think their purpose would allow that one exception so they could relax for years until something really big would snap them out and get them ready to fight. But then we wouldn't have the series. |

And yes, if the Amazons actually had decided to care about seeing the world outside their bubble things might've been different. On the other hand, maybe not that different but who can say? |

I just pictured Diana's head jerking up, eyes wide, with Greek pattern squiggles coming off her head "My fighty sense is tingling!"

![]() aaaand here's the movie: ![]() Tell me that's not a filter. I call bullshit on "but that's what colours were there!" argument. Go check Captain America: The First Avenger, it was also set in war-time London. Here's Wonder Woman in London in Daylight: ![]() and here's Peggy Carter in an underground war bunker: ![]() So yeah, colour, more of it when we're not in Themyscara. Please.

I took 'smoky grey filter' as something different than how the movie actually looks. Yeah, it's not normal lighting but many movies don't use natural lighting. It has more of a subdued color palette, blue sorta, but I don't think there's a lack of color. Themiscrya, as I said, is almost unnaturally vibrant and colorful because it's a solitary island paradise while London's colors are a definite contrast. Basically anywhere would be a contrast to that island. Still, doesn't lack color I just don't see it as a bad thing, it looked perfectly fine. Using a pic of a purposely well lit confined, underground space to compare with an outdoor shot is a bit odd. It doesn't matter to me how Cap was lit compared to WW, the lighting was fine to me that's really all I wanted to say, I just don't think it lacks color or anything like that. |

Could be ....Of course since we know the Queen didn't tell her everything...They have an out if they have to contradict this later. Since she simplified the story to try and stir her daughter away from becoming a warrior.

The First Avenger's look was just a little diffuse and Steve's outfit should've popped color-wise like Diana's did in the No Man's Land sequence. |

It's also telling how the Lasso of Truth still shines a bright golden color no matter the scene.

Wow, that color washing does make a huge difference. I loved how it turned out though. This is the best movie to come from DC since Christopher Nolan's Batman IMO.

Of course the Amazons couldn't actually kill Aries without Diana...Even if they did go looking for them. The Queen of course wanted none of this.

Yeah, there was a different article that pointed out that, on the first Avengers movie, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth were paid about that same amount.
