Wonder Woman is a living breathing antique. Her Ideals are good (although the creator definitely invites some skepticism; read: kinda comes across as hypocrite) but the presentation is antiquated as hell.
In the 40's Women were forced to wear conservative clothing.
Hence WW was 1/3rd nude, even though the only purpose of that is to attract men, which she isn't supposed to be trying to do in the first place*coughHypocrite*cough*
In the 40's Lesbianism (well, homosexuality) is taboo and shunned.
Hence they are all lesbians : If they are supposed to be so "independent" why would they find the need to pair up and have Girl-on-Girl action when it is biologically useless?
In the 40's Nazi's were the obligatory evil plot device.
Hence...well, duh. Also, Rosie the Riveter? Really? Wasn't she just an outlandish icon made to inspire soldiers while they.....you know....had their alone time?
Point is: Wonder Woman as you and i know her, won't work now. In a way this is because her ideals were successful: Women aren't generally forced to wear conservative clothes, and homosexuality is now accepted for the most part. So portraying her in those ways today....doesn't really say anything[/]. there's no message?
If anything the new costume is trying to say: "you don't have to have your thighs and boobs sticking out to be a strong woman in today's world." because that's true. At-least that's my interpretation. Want another of my interpretations: Make a Wonder Woman movie about her dealing with the fact that she's an antique.
