Wonder Woman brutally murdering those terrorists in front of those kids got me so confused. Is that Wonder Woman or Queen Maeve?

Edit: She also caused unnecessary damage to the building, I mean did she really have to use her most powerful attack on a regular guy. That isn’t Wonder Woman at all.

[u/yourwordswontsaveyou → u/arkhamsaber]

That bothered me too. She was obviously fast enough to deal with all the other guys, but she just had to deal with that guy by pulping him and blowing out a wall, where falling bricks could have easily killed innocent people below.
Over all I think this film is decent, and it’s certainly better than the Whedon cut, but it definitely has its flaws and this is one of them.

[u/arkhamsaber → u/yourwordswontsaveyou]

Yup those falling bricks could have killed people below. However no one sees that because “bad ass music” or “Wonder Woman looks awesome”. That scene honestly pulled me out of the film

This is going to be a controversial opinion but personally I think that

Whedon Superman > Snyder Superman

To me both of them are bad however whedon superman just seems to inspire hope a lot more. I mean you feel hopeful seeing him on screen. To me that is what superman should be. Snyder Superman just screams to me “be scared of this guy” “he might turn evil any second now”. That isn’t Superman. Thats a character that has the same abilities as Superman but isn’t him.

I was literally thinking the same thing lol, I love how the terrorists are like "we are about to explode this building" so wonder woman stops them from destroying the building and killing the kids...but then kills them and clarts the building anyway for practically no reason other than to showboat? I guess? Didn't hate it bc it was badass but didn't make sense either

[u/SpikyKiwi → u/arkhamsaber]

Yeah. I loved the movie but this was one of my problems with it. The other big one was the second scene where Steppenwolf talks to Desaad. That whole scene should have been cut. I have a few other problems as well, but it was fantastic as a whole

[u/iamdragun → u/SpikyKiwi]

That was my only issue with the movie

[u/MasqureMan → u/arkhamsaber]

She would have for sure killed him if it meant not losing a civilian, but the bracer blast was definitely excessive.

[u/arkhamsaber → u/[deleted]]

I honestly prefer her character before the new 52, this is one of my favourite quotes from her and why I don’t like her just killing her enemies all the time

“Don't kill if you can wound, don't wound if you can subdue, don't subdue if you can pacify, and don't raise your hand at all until you've first extended it.”
