THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
I'm glad Gadot spoke out. I mean it's the right thing to do anyway, but I think more so considering the character she's playing and what that character represents, and being a role model to young girls especially. She pretty much had to, people would be dying to know her thoughts no matter what. Pressure would be on her more than any of the others (and maybe Amy Adams might get some of that too). And I think she did it very gracefully. She denounced the behavior without signaling out Affleck in particular. Whatever her feelings may be for him, it's an industry wide issue and he shouldn't be the only one raked over the coals, and she's not bad-mouthing her costar in the months leading to the film's release.
I agree.
As "Wonder Woman" there's a certain expectation on her to speak out on issues like this, and I think she handled it perfectly. She denounced the actions of the victimizers and praised the courage of the victims. She didn't name names. She didn't single anyone out. She very clearly defined WHAT was unacceptable about this situation. Yet at the same time, she avoided throwing any of her co-workers under the bus and giving anyone the impression that she's "out to get" anyone.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--
If Jason Momoa doesn’t say “Outrageous!” in this movis I’m going to be very disappointed.
"Aquaman, he's not even really Aquaman yet. He's not the King of the Seven Seas. We don't really get there until my solo movie, at the end. Really, it's a huge growth for me. It's a gigantic arc for Arthur Curry. It may be tough for a lot of fans to watch what they're gonna see, how I portray him. But you gotta wait until we get to the solo movie to really know. Because he's not King yet." - Jason Momoa

I can't believe we're getting a Barry Allen Flash who hasn't even graduated from college yet .
