Wake me when the movie actually manages to claw it’s way out of development hell. THEN we’ll talk.

Well, she’s GREEK. (Or made of Greek clay anyway.)

But whatevs…I’m hearing this Beyonce buzz is still just a fanbate hoax.

I never considered Wonder Woman white anyway with the way they’ve been drawing her in comic lately. She’s tanned and exotic looking nowadays. Maybe not Beyonce, but they need someone who looks exotic to play her.

Sirui–Yikes, “purist” IS pretty dicey here, but you know what I’m referring to. (I hope) And like I said in the post, I’m open to change if it is done right.

WW is a magical being made out of clay and raised as princess of a mythical island of warrior women. It’s a lot easier to tweak that aspect of the origin away from it being specifically a Greek island or being tied to Greek Mythology than it will be to make sense out of the rest of the character’s convoluted backstory, powerset, and choice of wardrobe and weaponry. With an open mind, anything is possible.

Of course, the DC Animated Wonder Woman was REALLY good, and showed that it IS very possible to make a good WW movie that is true to the details of the comic.

Granted, the thought Beyonce in a Wonder Woman costume does leave me a bit tickled, I seriously doubt WB would actually cast her for the role. I don’t care what she’s saying. Furthermore, Wonder Woman has had the hardest time getting off the ground. I’d love to know know what Whedon would have done with the character. But yeah, a writer and director need to be locked, before we can even talk about casting.

But Matt! I was going to be Wonder Woman for Halloween! Your purist* ways are making it difficult for a geek chick to have fun.

*A rather loaded word when we’re dealing with race, eep.
