[@samuraigundam0079]

I think most of these questions are answered in the context of the film and the motives of the characters.. I also think you can apply these questions to any film that’s based on a story with a dense history. Ares was around to push certain people who already had bad intents. Just a small nudge to get them going. He was lying to Diana about a better world, obviously. Still better than 90% of MCU films.

[@adrianbundy3249]

@@samuraigundam0079 The person who says WW is better than 90% of MCU films is probably a fanboy, who wants to pretend "marvel is for kids you see!" without an objective view of reality. The deeper meaning, adult themes where they have happened in the MCU, have been more profound on average than anything in the DCEU to date; they are for everyone, and yes - as an adult, I like jokes, even when I am in a shit day, I can want cheering up, dark humor or gallows humor is lost on some of the deluded fanbois out there. The decidedly average WW was probably the fourth best of it's franchise, after Man of Steel(great), Aquaman(good to great) and Shazaam(good). But at least it is watchable unlike the other 50% of that garbage. It had some legit great moments. Why do I consider it average? Too cliche, overhyped visuals (the trench scene is hardly worth the praise heaped on it, and leaves too many silly issues). But you are right on one thing: I do find this video laying a lot of different types of criticisms that are rampant in a vast number of other hollywood projects these days. And no - Ares is still a shit villain, even if you make sense of his 'motive, he was just nudging evil people along'.

[@samuraigundam0079]

The Doom From Latveria I didn’t say those MCU films weren’t enjoyable, just not very good movies. You’re right, I don’t like Jokey dialogue in place of character development. It’s a cheap disingenuous method that cheats the audience from really knowing the characters as individuals, and robs the story of any true narrative tension. Everything these characters think, feel and want - when not overtly obvious - is told to you directly by the character, whereas DC movies usually have their characters express these things through more indirect dialogue and their actions. People still bitch about the “Martha” scene in BVS to this day. I wouldn’t put Ares as a great villain, but compared to villains like Ultron, Crossbones, Red Skull, etc.(as they’re depicted n the MCU), at least he had a subtle, more thoughtful approach in his role, unlike a good amount of MCU villains, who can’t help but be so one note exaggerated in their behavior, and who’s goal is almost always taking over the world. I’ll give Disney some credit for making Thanos a more complex villain, though he still stands in a long line of MCU villains who aren’t directly killed in a real way by a hero. No, disintegration doesn’t count. Kudos to Black Panther for getting his hands dirty. Although, if we’re talking about overhyped...

[@GrouchierBear]

Ares arranging the armistice actually makes a strange sort of sense, since the Treaty of Versailles was so punitive and generated so much ill will in Germany that it may have helped cause the outbreak of World War II, which was a more catastrophic and widespread conflict.

The 1970s Wonder Woman TV show was arguably the first time the super hero genre had been fully realized. It was faithful to the source material in both casting and costume. It also had high production values, a dutiful stuntwoman, and it wasn't played for laughs. The show wasn't perfect, but it's deserving of more respect than you're giving it. Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman and Christopher Reeve's Superman are the foundation on which today's super hero television and movies are built on.

No it's not WAR that spurred progress. It's speeding up your GDP growth by a factor of 20 or more from subjugating entire continents' worth of oppressed colonies. War was in no shortage even BEFORE 1500s, that didn't spur progress. The fall of Rome to war didn't spur progress, it stifled it into a Dark Age in Western Europe (I know the Dark Ages aren't as Dark as some people might have thought, but still it was a post-collapse.) Only in the age of overseas colonies do you suddenly see an unprecedented "progress" because all the dirty serfdoms and brutality were relegated to overseas colonies and the people back in the colonial hub in Europe got cheaper goods that saved them time and money that they can use to educate themselves. You need peasants and serfs for the lord to maintain his lifestyle, right? Now for this society, give the underlings access to cheaper goods by factories. Oh wait, technology wasn't advanced enough to make factories yet? Then make do with people treated like machinery (not directly owned by them, just like the average citizen still doesn't own factories today). Note how American civilizations were not able to progress far without something to create lots of labor for them. Livestock of burden. The profits gained from that would allow them to further expand the social pyramid until they get enough profits to research machinery to replace slaves and with their use of outmatched by machine efficiency for the first time, repurpose them into taxpaying citizens and soldiers you can trust not to revolt once they are given guns to protect their own wealth. Consider the Indians love Germany for allowing them to break free from the English chains after 300 years, and 5000 of them even went to Europe to fight under Hitler as the Free Indian Legion to speed up the emancipation of their 1 billion people. Why should they care some Aryans supermen are going to show the inferior white Europeans what those Europeans have said about White burden uplifting the colored peoples? When right during WW2 England killed 7 million Indians and when their colonies weren't enough, invaded Persia (Iran) in 1942 to expand their colonial oppression? (Btw Neonazis are not Nazis, but more akin to the European enemies the Nazis were fighting, the Neonazis' colonialist forefathers concerned with keeping colored people under the imperial boots. Just misappropriating Nazi imagery because it has become the boogeyman in Western culture, not because Nazis were actually interested in conquering other continents like Britain and France were so eager to... and still were eager after WW2 as English killed 1 million in their Concentration Camps in the 1950-58 Kenyan War for Independence and France killed 2million for Algerian War for Independence. Hmmm that reminds me the real butcher of Vietnam was the Japanese killing the same amount of 2 million between 1940 and 1945, only stopped because of the American nukes 1 billion Asians were cheering for.) Why should the Ukrainians care about what grievances other countries have about Hitler? Their primary concern was Stalin killing 7 million of them, so 50,000 men signed up to be part of Germany's "East Legions," along with Siberian peoples of the same sentiment running from the Soviet Union to take part in putting Stalin down and freeing their people. (The Indian nation was broken down into several as the English left and tried to disseminate unrest and chaos though.)

Gotta be honest the "power of love" thing at the end pissed me off more than you. Tens of thousands of soldiers fighting a war for 4 gruelling years and apparently all they really needed was to hug it out. It's senseless and a bit insulting. I would have preferred that the backstory provided at the beginning was actually Zeus lying his ass off; then Aries tells WW that humans fight each other because their creators fight each other, so hard in fact that they destroyed each other. Zeus blamed Aries because, well who else do you blame for internal conflict ending your pantheon, the god of basket weaving? It turns out Aries didn't manipulate people into fighting another, he's just the supervisor making the whole thing more efficient and regulated; Giving continuous conflict a definitive end, defining war crimes and terms of engagement and designing tactical measures to reduce overall casualty, you know things that make war _war_ and not senseless violence?

I honestly think the movie would have been better if Steve had been Ares in disguise: It would have explained how he got through the Amazon’s shields, divine power, it would have set up a nice little conflict at the end when Ares reveals himself and it would explain the oddly sinister vibe the character has.

[@daisy_bae]

I like that idea. It would have been a really good reason why she turned her back on humanity for a long time. The one person she trusted and grew to love ended up being her enemy, that they manipulated her, used her and she had to kill him to save humanity. How can she trust anyone now without the fear of them being her enemy, the possibility of breaking her heart again?

[@chrisklecker]

this would have been excellent, especially if Ares was training WW to be more war like, like the humans, and to be willing to participate in human wars. Steve could be the one to convince her of her need to get involved. All the while Steve being Ares, to train her outside of her original training because it is her destiny to stand next to him.

Fully agree here..the whole movie was mediocre, maybe not as insulting as Ghostbusters/Charlie's Angels/The Last Jedi/Captain Marvel etc, but definitely as stupid as the "lead" female in, say, tv series Warehouse 13..bear with me. Both ladies spend their entire time pouting into the camera, the casting assumes the sheer sex appeal of the leads makes up for their utter lack of acting ability, they are wooden and uncharismatic (despite, unquestionably, being beautiful), and of course the movie/series plot got weaker and weaker as the thing progressed, so the losing of interest in the acting was compounded/not compensated by the lack of developing plot. Sound familiar? I particularly was greatly annoyed by the fawning over Gal Gagot that followed the movie, the media just kept falling over itself heaping the praise, but when you are awarding an ACTRESS a Time magazine 'MOST' INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN THE WORLD accolade based on the fact her GRANDFATHER was a concentration camp survivor, and she was in the Israeli ARMY (note, NONE of this to do with acting, with charity work, or contributions to anything), you can sense the hype had nothing to do with the movie. I hope it is obvious here what I'm trying to say; sex appeal is NOTHING if the acting/script is shit (Halle Berry/Catwoman? Brigitte Nielsen/Red Sonja? Pamela Anderson/ Barb Wire??), while a "strong, non-sexy woman" is NOT the turnoff fake feminism would accuse "toxic male fans" of trolling (Lucy Lawless/Xena? Uma Thurman/Kill Bill? Kate Beckinsale/Van Helsing? Mila Jovovich/Resident Evil? Hell, even Sigourney Weaver in the original Aliens!)..I LOVED Linda Carter as the cheesy '70s Wonder Woman, she was smart/sexy/feminine and, crucially, NOT all powerful, she would regularly get kidnapped by the baddies and you'd have an "anxious" time worrying if she'd be ok..exactly the same contrast between the original Charles's Angels and the idiot parody of them in 2019. This Wonder Woman fights a GOD and wins pretty much effortlessly, at no point feels "warm" or weak or even remotely human or likeable, and the movie is used as a surrogate "support" for anti-semitism wokeness (would anyone DARE to blast Gal the same way Brie Larson was mocked, given her grandfather's sacrifices?! Although, admittedly, she made nowhere near as big an ass of herself as Brie Larson or Elizabeth Banks did, she was the perfect model of how a successful movie star should portray herself). Overall, the movie was much weaker than we're told it was, and sequel or not, is not something that will have the iconic status or instant recognition of the leads in the examples above, or Linda Hamilton/Terminator, Jodie Foster/Silence of the Lambs, Scarlett Johansson/Black Widow, Whoopi Goldberg/pretty much anything from her early career!

It's honestly something I take umbrage with, whenever Wonder Woman tries to lecture mankind for being violent or war-hungry. She comes from a warrior race, with a might-makes-right attitude, that values violence and combat above all else. It's incredibly hypocritical. It's a bit like Jeff Bezos criticizing you for being too wealthy.

wait... if Ares is dead, why did World War II happened??

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

A couple reasons. 1. The ever-present problem of using our world's history and defining events for fictional stories. No matter what these super humans/semi-humans/gods do, things have to play out like they did in our reality. 2. So this is entry number... I stopped counting after three thousand... in the "man evil" stories. In particular, it's implied that humanity will fight and do bad things even without Ares' influence. This is what they were going for with the scene where Dianne questions Steve about why people are still fighting and he says he doesn't know and that it could be any number of reasons, and also when Ares explained that he supposedly doesn't directly tell people to kill each other but just give them weapon ideas.

I remember as I watched this movie wanting to like it more. The writing isn't too cheesy with one liners, the pacing is pretty good, and Gal Gadot might be the most beautiful woman on Earth. But every so often, consistently, something would pop up with the plot line, or the setup, or the meta that would distract me from immersing myself in the film. And that's before the debacle of an ending where I started shaking my head as soon as Ares took form. This film is a good study in how many different ways you can contradict your world and storyline within a couple minutes. Breathtakingly eye rolling at the end...

[@dagdamor1]

Really messes with the continuity when it shows how obscene the firepower disparity became between the Amazons and the Atlanteans with the Aquaman movie. The Amazons are barely drawing even against mooks wielding WW1 weaponry, and there are multiple Kingdoms under the sea with so much fighting power and/or tech that each one of them would wipe WW2 nations from the face of the planet solo.

@@InfernosReaper If the underwater kingdoms have massively larger populations and technological bases and have been at war with each other for hundreds of years, you would expect their military technology to be very advanced.

Gadot has basically the same face expression almost all the time with her mouth hangng open in Bella's style, she has no WW vibes, she doesn't look like an athlete who trained for so many years. Her battle face looks like she is trying to remember if she turned off the stove at home... She is beautiful but is it honestly enough to represent this hero?

[@TheGrandAdmiral]

You made some good points that I did not consider back then. I mostly liked the film because of Gal Gadot and her charisma (and her looks) and Wonder Woman is one my favorite comic book characters. Compared to Captain Marvel it is a masterpiece. Another thing that I liked that (also compared to Captain Marvel) it was not sooo feminist (of course WW is a feminist icon so it was unavoidable to have some), but Steve was not that inept compared to other male characters in feminist films.

[@VenathTehN3RD]

Just found your channel and I love your takes on all the movies I've seen you review so far. Just to touch on the Amazon's lack of technology, I think it actually kind of makes sense both in terms of realism and the movies themes. Technology rarely advances at a rapid pace in a bubble, no pun intended. It tends to advance when people have to adapt and innovate, or have previous advances to try creative new techniques on. That's one of the reasons why we see a *lot* of improvements in various fields during times of war: The need to adapt, improve, and find new ways to outmaneuver or overpower the opposition drives people to try all kinds of things that they might brush off as ridiculous in normal circumstances. The complete isolation of the Amazons deprived them of that need for innovation. They're somewhat akin to the indigenous people of North Sentinel Island in that, lacking any real significant contact with the world outside of their limited living area, they've had no real need to develop beyond what they already had. Their society already had what was necessary for them to survive, so there was no need for change. I think that was probably intentional, too. The first act of the story put a pretty decent emphasis on how the Amazons stubbornly insisted that they shouldn't be involved in the rest of the world, with Diana being the only one who felt that they should get involved, and her personal journey highlights why that decision was a good one. She spends most of the movie fixated on the idea that her beliefs are absolutely correct and that the current conflict is a simple black-and-white scenario that can be ended by eliminating Ares, with the same kind of mindset the rest of the Amazon's take on their isolationist policies. When she leaves her island, she's eventually forced to recognize that her worldview isn't right and adapt to a new reality (I feel like the soldiers stopped less because Ares was gone, and more because they literally just watched what was basically two gods duke it out and decided that maybe it was time to *not* draw the winner's attention), and her ability to do that is what ultimately paves the way for her victory. Well, that and "the power of love," but...meh. The point I'm getting at is that the Amazons refused to change and got the crap kicked out of them, while Diana grew stronger and wiser by overcoming the mentality that she already knows everything she needs to know. Of course, I could just be reading too much into it. Beyond that, I could probably work out some explanations for some of the shenanigans in the third act, but again...meh. It really did kind of start to fall apart in that area. I still think it was a really fun movie overall, and easily one of the best DC movies we've gotten. It's almost like the people behind the movie actually cared about and respected the character, and weren't just trying to play catch-up with the MCU at the cost of things like characterization or pacing.

Ares brokering the peace treaty was a genius idea actually. He fostered an alliance so he could whisper in each leaders mind that betrayal was incoming. The worst emotion is when a friend betrays you. So how I perceived the idea is that Ares created a massive anger pressure cooker to take place. 🤔🤔

[@neilgodwin6531]

Except that the Germans had no choice but to surrender. The homeland was literally starving, they were running out of munitions, soldiers were mutinying, the Kaiser had collected his P45 and run to Holland and Ludendorff had been sacked as a consequence of losing his marbles. There were no negotiations, no bargaining, no meeting of minds. The Armistice was presented in a railway carriage and the Germans were told where to sign it. The war was then put on a timer, set to 11/11/18 at 1100 hours because Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau had OCD or something.

It was kind of ironic that they just pretended that the German soldiers were Nazi's while the guy manning the machine gun could have been Corporal Hitler since he was there in the trenches fighting for his country just like all the other patriotic young men on both sides. Speaking of machine guns, it's really stupid to suppose that a bunch of WW1 soldiers would fire on a beautiful woman dressed like a stripper as she approached their trench. It is more likely that they would call to her and try to get her out of no man's land and to the relative safety of their trench. They had no reason to imagine her to be an enemy soldier or any danger to them at all. That scene was just stupid.

Imo it was a very silly movie, that required significant effort on my part to suspend disbelief and critical thinking while I was watching it. However, it was also a very culturally expedient film lauded for all the wrong reasons, kind of like the vastly overrated Black Panther. So it succeeded. It was promoted by many (let's be frank) progressives as almost the second coming of Christ due to its 'empowering message for women'. Although when you dissect the film it's actually a quite mediocre work.. These recent pandering movies have become a sad reflection of the kind of society we've become... We're moving in a direction where 'artfulness' has been replaced with fill-in-the-blank acceptable social lectures that are at this point laughably predictable, at least for me. They're what I like to call message movies pre-approved by the Hollywood ruling class for mass consumption that dare not deviate from said worldview. In some sense it's become difficult to distinguish modern film-making from, say, Chinese or Soviet movie propaganda.

[@apollon011]

@@pokemonmanyou4239 You're misrepresenting what I said. I was making a point that the heavy-handed style of these kind of recent movies combined with an ideological obsession with overt 'messages' (social, cultural, political, etc) as opposed to simply 'art for art's sake' spoiled the movie for me. Unfortunately this has become a rather all too obvious trend in American cinema in the past 10 years or so... What I didn't say or suggest is that I have problem with women in leading/strong roles. Some of my favorite and most memorable (badass) female movie characters are for instance Ripley in the Alien franchise, Clarice in The Silence of the Lambs, Sarah Connor in Terminator, Selene in the Underworld franchise, Trinity in the Matrix franchise, to name a few.. But recent attempts at such characters haven't really worked for me for the reasons I gave imo.

[@schmeisfliege1]

True words, simply said the movie is US propaganda. Notice it's the Anglo-American empire vs Germany. Since 1917 when the Creel Committee aka Committee on Public Information was created, the "Germans" are until today (sigh) the bad guys. Hollywood is obsessed with the Germans. Now one could say it's pathological, but reality is, the "good war" / "the Anglo-American hero" myth has to be rejuvenated to fit the new gerneration their worldview. Every generation is getting its customized propaganda. And since the propaganda is coated in sugar, it will be swallowed without hesitation. Interesting enough, actually the Brits should be the US their arch enemy and not the Germans. I mean against whom did the continental army fight against? In general, Hollywood in corporation with the ruling system (technocrates) dictate what and how the masses should perceive the world. And the majority freely accept the force fed illusion, because it's entertaining. BTW the etymology of "entertain" is to keep up, maintain, to keep (someone) in a certain frame of mind. This is why Hollywood has and will never use as the "bad" guys any Bolshevik or Soviet / Chinese (national) socialists characters, like Lenin, Mao and their gulags and genozides. Or depict the Brits during the Boer Wars. In the end, society IS the reflection of the illusion. And as long as the entertainment industry exists, it will be kept in the illusion.

I know the writing for Ares is not the most liked, but I loved that David Thewlis was Ares. Maybe it's because I grew up with him as the mad king Einon in Dragonheart that naturally I figured what better upgrade could you get than to be the God of War himself. And I did like how he was at first treated in a way akin to the Devil, whispering in the ears of the human antagonists to steer them into making bad decisions. While I personally really liked Wonder Woman, I do admit on reflection in that I agree it can't seem to make up its mind on how it wants to pay itself off and the message it wanted to convey. It has the ideas, even the right ones, but didn't seem to know how to utilize them effectively. I don't mind the final battle with Ares, but I would've liked it more had it been better balanced with its original message that humans have a penchant for war and Ares is merely the overseer of it, like the Greek God equivalent of a D&D dungeon master. And instead of Ares dying and everyone just stops randomly fighting, he just fades away back to where he came from all battered and leaves Diana alone to take Steve's final words into serious consideration that we are a very deeply flawed species, and this revelation combined with his death just causes her to further isolate herself from the world for the next 100 years before finally deciding to better herself and take charge as a positive figure for the world. Would've been a more bitter-sweet ending, but with more meat to it than how it ultimately ended up, I think.
