Wonder Woman
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. She was raised on a sheltered island paradise, and, when an American pilot crashes onto their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside Man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers and her true destiny.

LOL I always loved her quote from The Justice League – War Animated movie – “Ice-cream is wonderful!” but my favourite quote ever from WW is, “Of all people, you know who I am. Who the world needs me to be. I’m Wonder Woman.” or this one, “And between my prayers I made a vow that I would always be aware of my strength. And that of my opponents, my friends, and my victims.” :D

I kinda liked that one from BvS actually, where was all like “Man made a world where standing united is impossible” or something along those lines. And then they come out with the whole “unite the seven” marketing campaign like honestly how cool is this series and why don’t people see it.

“It takes real character to admit one’s failures – – and not a little wisdom to take your profits from defeat. But, remember, this man’s world of yours will never be without pain and suffering until it learns love, and respect for human rights. Keep your hands extended to all in friendliness but never holding the gun of persecution and intolerance! “

As a kid reading the Wonder Woman comics I always found one of her exclamations “Great Hera!” hilarious… Reason being my grandmother was Afrikaans and in episodes of frustration would let go with a string of expletives, her favourite being “Liewe Here!” translates to “Dear God!” and then I would picture Wonder Woman doing an old Afrikaans lady’s accent. Yes I was a loner…
“You’re right to fear. You fear Superman because you believe he could succeed. What becomes of the God of War in a world without conflict? Maybe you could become the God of something else? Something less violent. Say it with me: ‘I am the dreaded Ares, God of Ponies!’.”

Diana: [to vendor] It’s wonderful. You should be very proud.
I was lucky enough to go watch it in Imax 3D last week when it was released ( supercool freebie Wonder Woman branded sunglasses from Ster-Kinekor on the night, yay!)
Without going into spoilers, this film is absolutely stunning in every aspect, and Gal Gadot is mesmerising in the title role. (Not going to lie, I girl-crushed hard on her from the very first frame lol)
Great job to Ms Jenkins and her team and a second viewing of this gem is in order next week methinks.

My favourite quote, because it sums up so perfectly what makes WW tick:
Steve Trevor: We have a mission! We can’t save everyone in this war! It’s not what we are here to do!
Diana Prince: You’re right… But it’s what I am going to do!
*goosebumps
“I am Diana of Themyscira. Your wrath is over”
Diana Prince: It’s about what you believe. And I believe in love. Only love will truly save the world.
