Why so much negativity about WW84?

Yep. As usual, it's a vocal minority being loud on the internet.

The movie's success or failure will not be impacted by them either way. All that matters is that the general audience, critics and most of the fans are satisfied with it.



You're reinforcing Kjn's point. Marston's take may be one of the best (God knows he's my overall favorite), but the character does not belong to just him anymore and hasn't for a long ass time. Time to move on somewhat.

And there is plenty of divide in the Bat and Super fandoms with fans having narrow views of what works and what doesn't. A casual glance at the Superman boards will show that there isa lot of common ground with the Wonder Woman fandom.

Great epic CGI action will be great if done well, but it isn't the be all end all of what makes a good movie. More often than not, it just leads to dumb popcorn fluff. Clash of the Titans was an awful movie, and I would like WW84 to aim higher than that. If we have to lose a bit of spectacle, it would be worth it to not end up like that trash.

I can understand that many are disappointed with Diana's portrayal in current comics, and that the DCEU version doesn't fly yet and hasn't as many feats as other characters in comic book movies. But that doesn't mean that WW84 will be bad. Or that it won't have good action and feats. I do want Diana's power to shine more in comics and movies. But just because we have had bad experiences in the past, doesn't mean that this upcoming film will be a disaster. We know almost nothing about it. Patty is a great director and cares about the character. So i believe that she will create a great film that will make Diana shine like the great and powerful hero that she is.
