I am still trying to decide if how shy flies off in the end deserves some kind of actual respect for being so...so....speechless.

I'm sorry... misery loves company, I guess. And... it was so spectactularly awful that I felt the need to share the pain with people who I knew would really feel it.

Well, I'm not sure it really is the worst. The Star Wars Holiday Special sets quite a precedent.

And am I the only one that caught how the narrator mixed up mythology (Mercury's Roman mythology, but I imagine they don't trust their audience to know the Greek counterpart), or how he can't pronounce "Athena"?

*giggles* That is so not Wonder Woman. Would be funny on SNL, though, vaudville music and all.

The horrendous dialog made me cringe into my chair. The mirror scene made me cringe even further into my chair. The little flying-away dance, with accompanying sound effects, made me fall out of my chair.

The high quality acting, along with the interesting cinematography.
In all seriousness, though, the producers of that show must have felt that the character could be made more realistic by humanizing Wonder Woman. They were brave to go with a different interpretation that the fans were not used to, and I think it just goes to show that rabid fans will destroy anything that isn't just like the way they sentimentalize their favorite books, cartoons, games or whatever.
I think they were being literarily courageous with that interpretation. That's what's good about it.

You think Wonder Woman's traditional secret identity as competent, respected career military woman Diana Prince isn't realistic or humanizing?
Hmmm. I have to disagree. I found replacing it with vile 1960s sitcom stereotypes to be repulsive and alienating. And it has nothing to do with me being a fanboy...I didn't even read the Wonder Woman comic until Gail Simone began her run.
They weren't being particularly courageous...TV adaptations have changed super-heroes constantly through the decades. It's a fact. Posts: 6689 | Registered: Jan 2005

Have no fear Lisa. It may not be the worst thing I've ever seen (I've seen quite a few really terrible Youtube videos in my life). I think that would have to be the movie Shockwave.
But that clip was close.
