Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins hits back at James Cameron criticism

But in an interview with The Guardian James Cameron said “the self-congratulatory back-patting” Hollywood has been doing over Wonder Woman was “misguided”.

“She’s an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards.”

The Oscar-winning director compared the character of Wonder Woman to Sarah Connor, the lead role in his Terminator films.

“Sarah Connor was not a beauty icon. She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit.”

…

Responding on Twitter Patty Jenkins said that there is not only one way to be a strong woman in film.

“If women always have to be hard, tough and troubled to be strong, and we aren’t free to be multidimensional or celebrate an icon of women everywhere because she is attractive and loving, then we haven’t come very far have we.

Normally I can bet behind Cameron but If he wanted to make a point I don’t think he should’ve been comparing his own Sarah Connor to Jenkins’ Wonder Woman. Of course your stuff is never gonna be as good as mine. 🙄

Also a glimpse of the Lasso of Truth and the guitar riff’s still there, too.

I like her better with the headband than without.

Here’s the Wonder Woman Comic Con trailer because I thought I posted it and didn’t. This movie will be far better than Batman vs. Superman. The guitar that kicks in around 2:17… all I can say is YES.

Well, from where I’m from that’s called slavery.

Release date of Summer 2017… all I can say is 🙄😉
