It takes something pretty incredible to stand out from the constant flood of superhero movies bombarding our movie theaters these days, but it looks like Wonder Woman has very much managed to forge her own identity in a cinematic world dominated by men. The film took over $100 million on its opening weekend in the US alone, which, somewhat ironically, beat Fifty Shades Of Grey for the highest grossing movie ever directed by a woman, and as you can see from this series of uplifting tweets, the film hasn't just succeeded financially; it's also had quite an emotional impact on audiences as well. Scroll down to see what we mean, and then get out there and go see Wonder Woman!

Is her name seriously Emery Lord? That's amazing XD (and also dangerously close to emery board)

As a white man I can tell you we are not "obscenely confident all the time". We have fears and insecurities like everyone else.

There needs to be way more nudity in this movie. All these chicks and no hot boob shots or lesbian scenes? WTF? Wear your tits out ladies, So the rest of us can enjoy them (if you're hot. If you're a fatty then F**k off) That's what they're there for.

I just wish we were giving this much credit to the people who brought this character to the big screen. I know the actress is the face, but it took more than one person to make this possible.

This is in a positive way of course. I love the fact that the kid completely ignores genders and just focused on an awesome Super Heroine! :D

Saw the movie...I get why this was such an important movie for women. I get it.Far as I'm concerned,one of the best superhero films I've ever seen,since Captain America... But this was different than any other I've seen,really. To all the women I've known,and the ones I don't...about time,you know?
Adriana E. Henricy 8 years ago
Hell yeah, this superhero had heart and was not afraid of saying things like fighting for love. Breath of fresh air and true to the character

It doesnt have much to do with this particular post, but is wonder woman a genuine hero of marvel or supposed to be marvels way of displaying womens equality?
Daria B 8 years ago
It's DC, not Marvel. And she's a genuine hero. Interestingly, she was not really a gender equality symbol from the start, in the first comics. That developed later, with the fact that she's the most iconic and the oldest (if not first) of the major American super heroes out there.

Speaking with BF after movie: HIM: "Of course WW wouldn't have crushed that person with the tank... she's all about Love. Heal through love. Power through love. Batman would have done it." ME: "Antiope would have done it" HIM: "Antiope would have turned her into paste.

Maybe if a woman worthy of the Presidency had run...you know, without stealing the nomination from the guy that actually HAD a chance.

Maybe if Hillary had been as caring, passionate, and selfless as Wonder Woman. Instead, she acted more like Ares.

I really love the fact that so many actresses and female famous people are supporting this movie and sending messages to patty jenkins, AND people that work at marvel are doing the same thing, chris evans, mark ruffalo, hemsworth, etc etc

Ironically, the thing I noticed about this is that DC needs to quit making everything so dark.

Me too me too. Been looking for a decent poster which captures the scene where she strides into No Man's Land like a boss but that scene is not in the official images released so will wait. ^_^

If you want more Wonder Woman, ya'll should watch the original show with Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. It's AMAZING! Also, Lynda Carter is an activist in LGBTQ+ rights and women's rights STILL in her mid 60's. I find so AWESOME that she is hyper-feminist on and off screen. Just a little random fact...

It would be great if she could appear as a cameo in the next Wonder Woman related film.

I respect DC for waiting to release this movie of Wonder Woman. I'm glad it gets the attention of so many women (and men). But now I just hope they will plan to make way more films of Super Heroines (like Zatanna, Starfire, Powergirl, etc) and not go straight back to full male leads for the upcoming years. Nonetheless, this film can be the start of a great moment for women in cinema.

Is it really good? Because I honestly hated the original show and even back then found it terribly sexist with those stupid pants and boots. Though Princess Buttercup kicking a** is certainly enticing ;-)
