Jenkins says WW is never objectified in her movie, but I recall a line where someone comments on her beauty in the movie.
shareThe difference is she's never objectified. She's beautiful, and plenty of people say so (and by those time's standards, also nearly nude on the battlefield), but if it were a Joss Whedon Marvel movie, we'd be having multiple close-ups of her rear end, long shots of her bare feet, and she'd be almost completely defined by her male relationships.
The ultimate answer as to whether she's an empowered female character is to ask women, and women overwhelmingly say yes. No amount of men saying "well actually..." is going to change that.
And the credibility of Bleeding Cool News is . . . what . . . anyone . . . anyone . . . Bueller?
Do you even know, let alone care, what the words "news" and "credibility" mean?
Please don't bother to try to answer.
Strong male heroes are built through suffering as well, to Cameron's defense. However, he failed to notice that this DID happen to Wonder Woman too.
shareSlashfilm did a great write up on this too. It's almost unnerving how clueless Cameron is on this one.
shareAs soon as Jenkins creates her own iconic female character, she can criticize James Cameron. Right now, all she has achieved was not screwing up on Wonder Woman.
