Wonder Woman 1984 – Official Trailer
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
These throwback movies always make me wonder if 30 years from now, movies will look back as fondly on the 00s and 10s.
The first decade of the 2000s will be used when you need to show creeping authoritarianism and the after effects terrorism can have on society (rolling back civil liberties, etc) - if you mean from a sound and stylistic sound point, not so much, not unless found footage stops being a thing.
30 years from now the 80's will still be 30 years ago and we'll pretend the 2000's and 2010's never happened.
I watched the trailer 2 more times and I hope the final movie is as good. They didnt really show too much of the CGI finale act. June is too far away.
Holy fucking shit! Probably said a million times already in the thread, but we Edgar Wright now? That bit with the gunshots was superb, completely won me over after I was a bit on the "eeeh" side with the whole 80s angle.
It's like an executive said "make it an 80s movie, it's all the rage with kids these days", but then they actually hired an incredibly competent team who managed to pull it off even though it's super played out by now.
That gunshots scene, goddamn.
I don't usually watch superhero stuff that isn't made by James Gunn, but I'm in for this one. Do I NEED to watch the first? It looks so boring.

The first is very good, and you should absolutely watch it, because this is a direct sequel.
The trailers do a horrible job of selling WW, but the movie is actually great.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a watch before this one comes out.
The first one is honestly awesome. It feels nothing like Marvel movies do.
Certain ones will. TWBB will probably be looked back upon with ageless eyes.
Thank you for that! I just saw the trailer and have been going through the thread trying to find the best version of the song.
It's production music. You could pay to use it in your own video, but it's probably not going to be in the movie.
It looks great. I loved the first one, so I'm stoked for this one. Love the colors and the tone. I don't think I realized Pedro Pascal was in this. I haven't been following it. And he's playing Max Lord? Fantastic.
what? It's Captain America + Thor. I liked it, and it's more slickly made than either of those (which, coming 6 years later, you'd expect anyway) but it's essentially a well-executed version of standard superhero fare.
My wife is questioning Pine being in this as she said it was stated in JL that she was pining (no pun intended) for him for much longer than 30+ years. An actual number was used. That true?
Nobody cares about Justice League (or Batman v Superman, or Suicide Squad).
Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam were all based on the "DCEU" Snyderverse canon, but they are much better than it and have outgrown it, and are the new DCEU canon. If something in Wonder Woman 1984 conflicts with something from Justice League, then Justice League was wrong.
Plus, it's possible that there is no conflict. Chris Pine in this movie might be a hologram, or a shapeshifter, or whatever. Or maybe Diana's memories from 1984 got erased before Justice League. It's comic books, so anything's possible.
I like it all. Will relay. Thank you. Trailer looked dope and I quite enjoyed the first. When my wife mentioned JL, I blanked and had to come here because... that flick....
Russia's ass.It's certainly nothing like this shot from Winter Soldier where the focus is entirely on her ass.
If the story is what it appears to be then
she's only going to be with him for a few days. Such a brief blip probably isn't going to have been worth bringing up. Probably just gives her closure, if anything.
I've never really understood the whole "Wonder Woman has a bad 3rd act" angle. I mean, all superhero movies break down in the 3rd act. I've yet to see one that doesn't. It's a universal problem for superhero films. I have no idea why WW was singled out for a problem that's endemic to the very genre.
Or at least, Diana didn't.
Older movies have aged better than current ones will precisely because the lower level of technology demanded a higher level of craftsmanship from the people involved--the writers, directors, actors, etc. There's been a decline in skill in these positions across the board. In the old days, actors played to the audience--they cut their teeth on stage and were accustomed to using their whole bodies to do their job. Nowadays, actors play to the camera, which is nearly always zoomed in on their beautiful, beautiful faces. Most actors today don't know how to do anything more than stand around and speak lines while not looking directly at the camera. Focus groups and having half a dozen writers or more on a movie doesn't do the writing any favors. A lot of script writers these days struggle to give their characters something as basic as believable motivations. And everyone knows that good directors are a dying breed. The CGI is what's keeping the movie industry going these days. But today's CGI will look awful to tomorrow's audiences.
I'm guessing Steve will have to die again by the end. Maybe that'll be one of this series' recurring gimmicks: Steve comes back in every movie and dies every time.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
You never forget your first.
Or at least, Diana didn't.
Because, deep down, we all wish it was still 1984.
I think it's because the trailer indicates the movie will have a brighter color palette than the first one did.
They wouldn't have gotten Chris Pine back just to do a short bit. He'll be in it a lot. But he won't make it to the end (again).
I don't think there's any chance of that. So many of our movies today are so heavily reliant on computer technology, which will only improve as time goes on, and make older movies look bad.

Hans Zimmer doesn't do trailer cuts. In every movie scored by him the trailer cuts are done by other artists/trailer companies. They might use cues inspired by Hans' actual score but he doesn't do them.
The artist doing the cover in WW84's case is Sebastian Böhm
Same lol : D
Hope the extended version of this first trailer (someone quoted a tweet about it being 1mn longer) features the long version of the remix (would be the same lenght).
