Here I was thinking that I would need the Blu-ray to see such things, but no, even in a movie with zero fun for everyone, you still get to see how good Gal Gadot's bikini wax is, which as much as I liked it, was also sort of humiliating, because it's such an easy, small kindness to women not to put that kind of crap in this kind of movie
. I mean, this is basically the Schindler's List of superhero movies "for kids" in the first place, I felt disturbed by it enough already that I really didn't need
[Show spoiler]any guilt on top of that
. That doesn't really have anything to do with the 12A thing, but I did have to roll my eyes on the inside, even as I admittedly did enjoy it. I mean, I get that
[Show spoiler]every guy wants to bang Wonder Woman, but come on, she's out in full force for about five minutes of a 150+ minute film--did we need to sexualize her like that
? And don't tell me no one noticed that shot, in a film where every shot of every action sequence has been meticulously pored over for months. Many people noticed, and
[Show spoiler]many people enjoyed, and some of those people did so guilt-free, unlike this guy
.
I'm sorry but... what? Did we even watch the same film? I can't believe you've dedicated a paragraph to a single shot of Wonder Woman which you interpreted as pervy. I honestly can't think of what shot you're referring to because never did I think she was sexualised in the context of the film. Somehow I doubt there'll be an outcry from parents because there's a shot of Wonder Woman lying down.
