Wow, looks very different than I expected -- I thought it was going to be more grim, and all about the Soviets and the Cold War. I have no idea who Maxwell Lord is, or why she has a golden suit, but i am SO THERE FOR ALL OF THIS.

Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Birds of Prey. If 2017 and 2019 were the years where female superheroes broke the glass ceiling, 2020 looks like the year where they're so common that we forget it ever used to be different.

So, some progress. Impeach Trump.

Maxwell Lord is an interesting character who started off as part of a humorous take on the Justice League and evolved into a rather dangerous antagonist. With Pedro Pascal portraying him I look forward to a nicely balanced camp to danger ratio.

Also:
- more Amazons! And women! (One of my big problems with the first is I can't shake that smurfette feeling)

- I see a wall being blown up, which reminds me, if 1980s pop culture spent a bit of film playing with the Trump imagery as villainous, well, everything's old is new again etc etc

- the bit at the end is a stucky au fic, don't @ me

I'm very much over superhero movies (the Black Widow trailer left me cold) but I'm apparently fully on board for this. I saw the first one but missed the other 82 so I hope I can follow along.

The fight scenes look... okay. Wonder Woman had some pretty good fight scenes, and these look about as good. The first movie sung when it focused on what the conflict meant for people, and it did fish-out-of-water extremely well, so I'm hoping that both are bigger focuses of the sequel. (I'm sceptical about the later: the reason the first film did fish-out-of-water so well is that it hit a unique tone of 'low key offended but mostly bemused' whereas we've seen a lot of 'manly guys have to learn about art'. 'Manly guy has to learn about feminist critical theory' played entirely as a fish-out-of-water sequence would be an interesting variation, though, and one the text would support.)

So wait, I'm not complaining, but isn't Chris Pine's character supposed to be dead? Like, in Justice League she was all "I walked away from the world of men because I was sad blah blah blah." So was she just lying to Batman? I mean sure, I can see why she'd do that, but what's going on? Do we have to wait for the movie to know or is there a comic or something I missed?

I literally gasped and smiled on the reveal, because I was not expecting to see Chris Pine after his sacrifice in the first movie. Then again, I remember thinking they never actually showed his bodily death, which in fantasy films is often a big tell.

EmpressCallipygos, I too thought that was Nathan Fillion in the closeup.

I am assuming that there will be a series of WW movies, each of which will bring Steve Trevor back and then kill him in increasingly improbable and hilarious ways. This one will be a crossover with the fourth Star Trek AOS movie, which, instead of the crew going back to the 1980s to pick up whales like the fourth TOS movie, they will go back to the 1980s to deposit Steve Trevor...who, coincidentally, just happens to be Jim Kirk's identical twin, and have the initials of Star Trek /conspiracy theory

(PS: Don't blame the trailer for spoiling the Steve Trevor reveal. That's been out for many moons.)

Every New Order fan knows Blue Monday was released in *1983*, not 1984. Professional dramaturg here who was born with 13 whole days left in 1984: I'll allow people listening to a song released the year prior. At least it wasn't released in 1985.

Fun fact: due to various global tax restrictions on musicians, Blue Monday was the only new music released in the 1980s, worldwide. As it had been recorded on the Isle of Man on the last day of December 1979 but having had wide release via bootlegs in the early years of the 1980s before the larger crackdown of the music tax authorities, Blue Monday is generally considered to be the only song commercially available in the 1980s.

Thankfully, recording artist Sinead O'Connor rebelliously released her cover of Nothing Compares 2 U (originally written by The Family in the mid-'80s in the midst of the music lock-out, and covertly passed to O'Connor by collaborator Prince) in January of 1990. While O'Connor weathered a firestorm of controversy for having had released new music in her performances (including on Saturday Night Live), the dam broke, resulting in a wellspring of new music since that time.

However, since that point, there is literally no other song available to film producers who wish to create a period piece taking place in the 1980s other than Blue Monday. This helps explain why it is so ubiquitous to this day. There is simply no other music that can be used.

isn't Chris Pine's character supposed to be dead?

My impression from the trailer is that the villain has come into some kind of mystical object that enables him grant people's wishes (and so Diana wished for the return of Chris Pine) for which in return he gets wish, which is something Very Bad. I could be totally off -- trailers are tricky at best, and I'm not particularly bright.

It occurs to me that next year I will be the same age as my parents were when Forrest Gump came out, and that the 80s references in this trailer, or Stranger Things or The Americans is meant to play the same kind of nostaliga for my generation. That being noted, not making the poster an homage to the work of Patrick Nagel was a real missed opportunity.

Isn't Chris Pine's character...dead?

It's a comics-based property, so there are plenty of ways he could return: time travel, parallel universes, magic, and human cloning are, last time I checked, all established as being part of both the DC and Marvel universes. Both universes also have shape-shifters and androids that can mimic people, but those possibilities seem less likely here.

Other than that, all I have to say is that I like this version of Wonder Woman, enjoyed the first movie, and am looking forward to seeing what they've come up with for this one.

Not quite true, I EAT TAPAS: you are forgetting that "Take On Me" came out of US-Soviet nuclear arms talks - it started out as a Kazakh folk chant performed for the NATO negotiating team, which included in its Norwegian contingent the uncle of Morten Harket of A-Ha - and due to its international importance and quasi-Communist IP was also exempted from the general suppression of new music in the 1980s. It also features heavily in depictions of the period.

So, we're all so jaded about superhero movies now that no one is even gonna mention Wonder Woman appears to lasso lightning, like she's Pecos Bill's cooler sister? Man, tough crowd.

I'm cautiously pleased by the teaser poster and trailer for having the hint of being something that doesn't feel like its just another product roll out from superhero movie HQ, but might actually have, like, a directorial point of view to it in look and maybe storyline. That'd be good timing for them if it did since it seems like there's serious burnout on the standard model happening.

And, dammit, I just saw Pedro Pascal in the movie Prospect where I swore he was channeling Nathan Fillion from Firefly and now this? Does Nathan Fillion really exist or it just another name Pascal uses to get extra work? (That Pascal chose to join this cast after also being in the ill-fated 2011 Adrianne Palicki Wonder Woman pilot is a testament to either his love of the character or the money.)

> "I saw the first one but missed the other 82 so I hope I can follow along."

I assume by the "first one" you mean WW XVIII, which like Star Wars was indeed produced first out of sequential order. And I've heard that's the only one you really need to see to understand this movie.

However, several of the others really are worth watching if you've missed them. The "WW WWII" sequence (WW XXXIX, XXXX, XXXXI, XXXXII, XXXXIII, XXXXIV, and XXXXV) are great. If you'd like to see another take on The Cheetah as a character, WW LXXX isn't a great movie but does feature the Deborah Domaine version of the character (you will, of course, see the Priscilla Rich Cheetah in XXXXIII). Of course, many people think the high watermark of the WWCU are still LXXV to LXXIX, and some parts of this movie are clearly in homage to those, so it might be worth seeing them to pick up all the Easter Eggs.

There's also that weird unnumbered metacommentary AU one set in a dystopia where there were seven Spider-Man movies before the first Wonder Woman movie, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it.

So, we're all so jaded about superhero movies now that no one is even gonna mention Wonder Woman appears to lasso lightning,

This was actually at the top of this list of the four things I remembered from watching the trailer:

(1) LIGHT LASSO LASSOING LIGHTING
(2) Oh hey Steve not dead yep
(3) Was that Nathan Fillon or not?
(4) Blue Monday! Especially the part where it gets a treatment that's a cross between Hans Zimmer and the climax of Depeche Mode's "Never Let Me Down."

This looks like great fun.

The woman director specifically wanted WW wearing high heels in the first movie:
“It’s total wish-fulfillment,” she says, adding that the warriors have flats for heavy fighting. “I, as a woman, want Wonder Woman to be hot as hell, fight badass, and look great at the same time — the same way men want Superman to have huge pecs and an impractically big body. That makes them feel like the hero they want to be. And my hero, in my head, has really long legs.”

Looks fun although I loved the WII setting of the first one. I hope that Jenkins and her screenwriters have figured out a good third act for this one. I loved the first two thirds of Wonder Woman and then was sad that the last 45 minutes were just another smeary CGI punch-fest. To be fair, I have the some problem with 3/4 of superhero movies but I had hoped that WW would escape that.

Yeah, that's the image that flashed through my mind as well, but the idea of riding the lightning by lasso was definitely not expected.

I see a wall being blown up, which reminds me, if 1980s pop culture spent a bit of film playing with the Trump imagery as villainous, well, everything's old is new again etc etc

I get the feeling that might well be an underlying subtext here, Lord as a quasi-Trumpian figure, which will make what I assume will be a very bad end for the fellow all the more enjoyable.

Looks like the stunt team did a very thorough job of developing a lasso and bracelets fighting style, and I can't wait to see more of it. Also all-in for as many tiara-rang throws as they feel like including. One of the most thrilling parts of the last movie for me was how swift and powerful Diana's LEAPS were. Looks like I wasn't the only one.

As mentioned above, Max Lord was introduced in the 80s as a kinda-funny, super rich dirtbag, who would go on to become something much more sinister and vile. Down here and Earth-Prime, there's a pretty obvious real world equivalent to that arc, and I suspect the hairstyle that Pascal is sporting here is no accident. It will be good to see Wonder Woman bring him down. Please Hera, let it be a prophecy.

See, I was originally disappointed at that stinger / afterjoke; that's where you put something either very funny or meaningful, and it was kinda limp.
But then I thought that maybe it's actually a very clever preemptive statement, heading off critics of the superhero genre, fanboys demanding High Seriousness, etc.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT*

Here is my theory about Steve Trevor being back: he's not. Maxwell Lord's super-power is mind control, including the ability to delude other people's perceptions. Lord is using his powers to make Diana see Steve Trevor, when it's really Maxwell Lord.

And I dig the idea of Diana and Cheetah being frenemies. Maybe Barbara initially seems to be the new Etta Candy, only to get a heel turn from the Cheetah goddess. A real 'frustrated ally turns villain' arc.

Some of my favorite little metastories are about how careful superheroes have to be. Superman has to keep from throwing his bedsheets into orbit every morning as he wakes up. So I love these little winks at how sheerly enjoyable it must be for her to just do things at full speed and strength.

Does nobody remember what happened with Steve in the Lynda Carter WW TV show? The first season was set in WW2 and Steve helped Wonder Woman fight Nazis. The 2nd and 3rd seasons were set in the 1970s and Wonder Woman fought evil (often still Nazis) with Steve Trevor Jr., the son of the Steve Trevor she new in the 1940s. Both characters were played by Lyle Waggoner. They just had a moment where Wonder Woman says, "Wow, he looks just like his dad..." and went with it.

I thought sure they were going to go with something like that for the movies too. Give Steve a nephew or something...

I don't think their romance on the TV show was ever much more than being friends and obviously attracted to each other (with a bit of the Superman/Lois-trope of Steve seeing Diana as a mere co-worker while being smitten for Wonder Woman). So it wasn't quite as weird as Diana dating her former lover's son. But it would make sense for immortal Amazons to have different attitudes about consorting with short-lived mortals.

I always hate when the sequel of a movie (and it's almost every movie, dammit), the female love interest is jettisoned completely so Hero-Guy can have a new hottie, regardless of how great the female character was in the first movie. I really want that to stop. But until it does, now we get a kickass woman superhero sequel and she gets the old love interest back? I feel cheated.

In the comics, Maxwell Lord is associated with an uberGrimDark period of stories at DC.

Maxwell Lord developed a way to mind-control Superman and sent him to kill the people he loved. Wonder Woman barely managed to stop Superman and temporarily break Lord's hold. But Lord taunted her about how he still had a back door into Superman's mind, that it was only a matter of time before he would use Superman to kill her and everyone Superman cared about.

So for Superman's sake, Wonder Woman killed Lord by brutally breaking his neck.

But it was a trick. Lord caught the whole thing on cameras and also somehow faked his death, but used the image of Diana killing him for anti-superhero propaganda. So for (it seemed like) years, DC kept reprinting that image of Diana breaking a dude's neck over and over as it was broadcast over and over on TV and everyone fretted about it and it was supposed to be this huge shame hanging over Diana's head and driving a wedge between her and heroes like Superman and Batman who draw a hard line in the sand against killing people.

And it was part of this effort to distinguish Diana from Superman as one of those "cool" Wolverine-type characters willing to kill people the story thinks need killing. So rather than focus on Diana as a peacemaker, she was the member of the Justice League who was grim enough to kill people.

So, yuck. Maxwell Lord has been a good villain in some stories, but I have nothing but gross associations with him and Wonder Woman.
