That having been said, I would like to say that I am not complaining about anything here. I am just giving a critical reaction.
Its crap. Honestly, this looks like something you'd see at a Halloween party. "Oh Jamie is Wonder Woman this year! Holy Lasso of Justice, she is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!" I'm blown away by the lack of effort put into this costume. Its like they asked a group of 12 year old boys to design it. Ick, I can just imagine the shouts of "add more leather!" now.
I personally am a fan of what they did on Smallville:
Again though, Im not complaining. Im a guy, and guys like good looking women in sezzy clothing. Adrianne Palicki is pretty hot, so to see her as the timeless beauty that is Wonder Woman is, to be honest, any 11+ year old boys dream.
And, in defense of this costume, it is way better than the original:
Just silly. And what's the deal with her waist? It looks like its blowing up a set of leg-shaped baloons. The 70's **shakes head**
The site io9.com had this to say about the picture:
"This first costume photo comes via Entertainment Weekly. According to the site and various script reports, NBC's version of Wonder Woman is supposed to be a 'serious, non-campy take on the DC Comics character.' And yet in the pilot, she complains about her bra size, flies an invisible plane and has a magic lasso. Oh, and she looks like this. This is not looking promising, to say the least."
It seems that the strong, empowering role-model that is the amazonian princess warrior Diana/Wonder Woman has been reduced to a wide-eyed and bushy-tailed, twenty-something valley girl who is "looking for her place in this open-ended world." Which is sad because of everything her character stands for and used to represent.
But, like Captain America, Wonder Woman is a hokey super heroine at best. I really dont think this show will last, just based upon that. They might as well just seal its fate early and cast Summer Glau now. At least that way there would be no confusion when the axe comes down.
But I may be wrong. If they try to appeal to women with this show, there will be alot of happy husbands. Think about it: a show about a woman in tight leather beating and tying up OTHER hot women in tight leather that your wife is OK with you watching and wants to watch WITH you; the ratings may be through the roof. This may end up becoming a huge success.
But dont count on it. You can ususally smell crap no matter what its dressed up as, and this image has that distinct odor. Look for Wonder Woman on NBC later this fall.
