You know, it isn't the pink or 'girlness' that has me irritated, it's rather the approach to it. 
If they were going to go with the whole Girl Empowering Superhero, they could at least have taken a more earnest approach to it than this.
1) Magical Butterfly Kiss. Now, butterfly-related powers, okay, (not sure about them having super strength and agility, but OKAY,) the issue here is rather that it literally sounds like the premise of a superhero a sarcastic ten year old boy would make to belittle his sister. "Oh, YOU want to play superheroes, Susie? What do you think you're going to be?! Oh, I know, how about Princess Power, Kissed By A Magical Butterfly?! SUPER SPARKLE TIME, YOU DWEEB!" This sounds so much like a parody, I double checked the article to make sure it WASN'T a parody, because it basically took Radioactive Spider Bite and tried to 'girl it up' as much as possible. o_o Seriously, if you're going for the whole pink princess demographic, go for something that at least fits into the aesthetic, like a good witch or fairy godmother or some other tall tale mumbo jumbo. This is just so clumsy it kind of hurts to watch.
2) As has been mentioned, the whole 'forgiveness' thing is pretty corny, and yeah, having a Barbie movie where the heroine busts heads rather than, I dunno, super-forgives would probably be a bit out there, but that just kind of makes this thing scream 'Hey, we noticed all those superhero films are super popular, TIME TO CASH IN!' while completely missing the elements that actually made such stories compelling in the first place. Still, this might surprise by tackling the issue of the irredeemable opponent, the guy who is simply a big ol' bastard and can't be changed no matter how many times you try to hug him with the power of friendship. o.o All considered, that's a lesson that COULD use getting across; heck, toss in a redeemed villain, and an irredeemable villain, to balance out of the message. ....but I swear to God, if all the major adversaries in this end up getting 'Redeemed' through the binding ties of love, I am going to facepalm so hard.
3) This part actually really irritates me, from the trailer, where she announces "I'm going to save people, blah blah blah, just like a real superhero.' The reason it bugs me is that it just seems kind of backhanded way of suggesting that, despite the fact that she has powers, and apparently will be going around doing superhero-y things, she will only be 'like a real superhero,' not actually, well, a superhero. Anyone who told Wonder Woman, to her fictional face, 'Hey, you're like a real superhero!' would be fictitiously kicked through the nearest wall. The last time I saw an attitude like that was the Powerpuff Girls episode featuring the 'We're Totally Not Tongue In Cheek Superfriends Impersonators,' wherein the big, manly superheroes talked down to the cute wittwe girls who wanted to join their super serious group... and that was a parody that ended with the Powerpuff Girls pretty much out-heroing all of them.
