This conversation about the movie was 5 times more interesting than the whole movie.

[@envagyokzaz]

Yep, if there wasn't a carpool critics episode about it, I would probably have stopped watching the movie at about 1/3rd.

[@DRAGONFANG18]

Same with the Star Wars prequels. I loved watching Mr. Plinket rip the prequels to pieces more than the movie. A good movie doesnt get as good a criticism because it would have a lot less complaints when things are done correctly.

[@murdochmccrum6024]

I’m not watching this film so I don’t spoil the carpool critics review for myself.

[@ShadowTheLight]

When she electrocuted Cheetah my brain was confused so I just made up that her armor was insulated lol.

For me it was because she is daughter of Zeus + first movie where she Lightning Bolted Ares.

[@alifadila3364]

Happy new year! Consider watching 'what we do in the shadows' by taika waititi, I think its one of his earlier films its fantastic

[@InverseAgonist]

He hasn't been directing movies for that long, I think this is number 2 out of the 4 released. The TV show is also very good.

[@DeathStarKitty]

Steve Trevor was a spy that knew how to fly a plane in the first Wonder Woman movie. I guess after he died he forgot about the spy part and decided he was a pilot.

[@zul448]

it bothers me they keep saying "it's been 40 years since the events of the first movie" when it should be about 65 years. The first movie took place in WW1, not WW2.

[@UndeaKnight]

Muchly appreciate the Aussie anthem James! 😂 Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi!

[@theod9548]

as for the electric thingy, the main part of the big fight in the first film, she uses the thunder power given to her by her father !

[@LogicalError007]

Day 3rd of asking for Tropic Thunder review.

[@Amongog]

Hell yeah

[@billbrown69]

Argh everytime you pronounced the T in Gadot 🤣🤣🤣 Jarred me almost as much as the film did. Then I googled it and realised that's how she says it! Everyone I know has always said it without the t 🤣

[@InverseAgonist]

Yeah, this frustrates me quite a bit. She's Israeli, her name is Hebrew. The silent t is something English speakers infer about her name because of Norman (French) influence. On the flip side, to James commenting about her saving Arab children, Hebrew is pretty closely related to Arabic. Also Israel has had relatively positive relations with Egypt since the Camp David Accords in the late 70's.

[@markroxas7104]

Not hating on Gal, but when the DCEU was starting, I was rooting for Scott Pilgrim's Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) to be WW. Also not sure if that casting would fetch a better storyline, though.

[@samarthdubey7]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is better actor than Gal Gadot. Too bad they wasted her potential in birds of prey.

[@markroxas7104]

@@samarthdubey7 True. Maybe we'll get lucky next time like what happened with Chris Evans, from Human Torch to Cap.

the mall scene looks like a commercial for a retail store promo

[@SteveNewburyFTW]

Wait..... They don't carpool anymore 🤯

[@NateLong33]

1:06:48 This was the perfect opportunity to point out a massive plot hole--the visit with the President. To paraphrase, Max Lord asks one of his employees if he would like Max to have a meeting with the president today, the guy says yes, but then Max realizes he's already asked him for a wish earlier that day, meaning he already used his wish. Next scene is Max talking to the President anyway. Huh?

[@idiot482]

he looks away and gestures and tries to get someone elses attention off screen to try and grant the wish again, he has an office full of people and I doubt it was hard to find someone else.

[@srivmanu]

Nobody thought that the villains arc was basically from Bruce Almighty?

[@IceParoxysm]

Start wondering if the plot was done by the writers who brought us Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindelwald.

[@sabarishmessi]

@@ZachEverett but he still had time to move on though.

[@ZachEverett]

@@sabarishmessi the fact that he went back to her via time travel at the end of Endgame tells me that is not the case.

[@Unleashed75]

I wanted to agree with Zach, that Cap didn't experience decades and that he was frozen in ice but thinking about it, after he came out of the ice, he had lots of fights that must of been at least a couple years before the final Endgame which still had the extra 5 year gap of everyone gone before returning to be with his girl. Thats still a long time to get over someone. 2-4 years is plenty of time to move on (says me who has been single for much longer lol)

[@Tomkatos]

She represents the correct time period that Cap belongs in. He never got to live his life in his time. She is the hope that he goes back to at the end on his story arch. As for him having enough time to forget, he is unfrozen a little before avengers (2012). Then all the avengers movies happen and it's 11 years including the infinity war to endgame time jump. 11 years is still a lot. However, He also meets old Peggy Carter (winter soldier) in a movie and goes to Peggy's funeral (civil war.) She is in every Captain america movie. He still has a connection to her.

[@Nirvash2010]

That last Christmas scene is even a different aspect ratio. As soon as it switched from Max with his kid to the Christmas scene, I was like, "Whoah. WTF just happened? Something is very wrong." And then I realized that the black bars for the widescreen format were gone. I rewound, and sure enough, it's just a hard cut from 21:9 to 16:9. So, if they shot that later, I'm guessing they were so lazy they didn't even get the same camera equipment to do it.

[@Just_Sander]

The problem with this movie is that Zach Snyder didn't write the script. (Sorry Batman V Superman fan) 😅

[@prin8724]

It's pretty obvious Patti Jenkins wrote most, if not all of this movie and Geoff Johns just filled her in on the superhero related powers and lore. I really liked the first WW and she did a good job directing it but she should never ever write another movie in her life. I'm actually amazed this got greenlit.

[@thegatesoflogicx3069]

Did nobody notice the very obvious sexual tension between WW and Barbara when theywent out to eat together that was completely forgotten about moments later?

[@bradhaines3142]

not obvious at all, never even considered it. now that you mention it, it was at best one way with barbara fangirling at her basically, but thats all i got from it.

[@lockheartmac]

David freaking out warrants a thumbs up

[@JohnPatchesMicallef]

If you did ask them they would probably tell you "no, I am not Mayan. I am Maya." Mayan is for objects, Maya is for people.

[@mitchellbrusseau]

I can get on board with the 3.5 rating. It was great to have another movie which introduced the Dream Stone and other concepts/elements from the DC Universe. It was also good to introduce cheetah, since she was always one of the biggest enemies and rivals to Wonder woman in the comics. However there are many flaws and plot holes that come to light since post Justice League and the events of the crisis on the infinite earths from the Arrow verse these parallel Universes merged at some point or diverged so I'm more curious to know about the next film. This was like let's make a film that we care about but that ultimately don't care about. Just like Star wars The last Jedi.

[@TalonIV]

I had high hopes for this movie but was again let down by the DCEU. DC... please, PLEASE....take the time to make decent movie. This started out too corny for me because the running/movements felt too fake. It felt like it was trying to emulate 80's superheroes movies but it just didn't work for me and felt out of touch with the action scenes in the other DCEU movies. Then it just tried to mirror the first movie by bringing Steve Trevor into an unknown futuristic world of awe and tried to replay the dressing room scene. I understand what they were trying to do, it just didn't work. I'll skip over some of the other random stuff (i.e. screw the mission, look fireworks!) Then the ending! Are there any lasting repercussions from these events? Did Max Lord have consequences or get off scot free? It felt incomplete there.

[@man-o-flick88]

59:52 it would make a sort of sense that she is resistant to electricity because isn’t she like Zeus child so I think the child of a god of lighting or something like would have resistance to that but I do agree that they never set that up in the movie

[@nathanaellovell7045]

Please explain to me how the opening scene wasn't horrible? There's a crowd watching, what, 17 Olympic events occurring all at the same time? The movements were as clunky as humanly possible, the girl ducks under a thing that she'd need to have been an inch thick to successfully avoid, there were only 6 horses on the beach, like they knew only 5 women would make it, if they missed a shot, they could have sent someone else's colors up, there weren't enough colors for all of the women, just the ones on the horses, so how did they know what colors they were? Were there teams? Diana cheats, but doesn't bother to keep trying to shoot her colors, so there was no chance of her winning even if they let her throw her spear. And all of this for us to get a message, from two characters back-to-back, that was so childish that I was in shock. Yes, they want to appeal to young girls, but they do not want to appeal to them EXCLUSIVELY! This movie is based on a character that is dear to millions of existing adults. Why was the first 10 minutes only for 8-year-old and younger girls? I keep reading/hearing reviews where people applaud this first scene and I'm so fully confused. We shouldn't have so many stupid things happening in such a short period of time. The first movie had tons of awful garbage like this, but got praised; this is why we're getting more of it. If we don't point on the stupidity, they'll think we're too dumb to see it and they'll keep shoving this trash in our faces. It's okay to like something while still requesting that your intellect gets shown a modicum of respect.
