Why did they use Lord anyway?
They could have changed a few things around and had Circe be the big bad.
That way they wouldn't have had to shoe horn in Cheetah.
Cannot agree more, it's so bad.Also to add im fucking done with the 80s love affair. I know they aren't done but I can't believe how fast hollywood ran this shit into the ground for me
I don't mind the 80s aesthetic when it's done well and warrants itAlso to add im fucking done with the 80s love affair. I know they aren't done but I can't believe how fast hollywood ran this shit into the ground for me
Then Lord is disqualified because everytime he grants a wish he amasses a personal army that shoots at our hero. The weak dude that has henchmen do all his fighting isn't novel. Lord is basically just a magic bond villain.
That would be petty if 1984 wasn't actually part of the title. But if the year is so important at least maintain some factually accurate details (especially since the arcades are so easy to fact check).I don't mind the 80s aesthetic when it's done well and warrants it
This really neither needed it for the story it was telling not did it really do the setting well (I know it's an incredibly pretty complaint, but it was weird to see the arcade at the beginning be full of games that weren't out in 84)
So, does everyone just agree to never bring up the fact that the entire world inexplicably descended into anarchy and was on the brink of nuclear war?
This should be the plot of a duck tales episode, not a live action film.
what about all the protesters who likely voted for Nukes to vanish? Or world peace?? how does the wishing stone deal with conflicting wi— oh no, I've gone cross eyed.
I also have a hard time understanding Wiig's motivations for joining mando at the White House, other then potentially being infatuated with him somehow? Her reason for turning into a villain is blurry there.
I think that can be explained that since she essentially gave up her humanity, she wanted to keep the new persona at all costs which is why she was protecting Lord. Also, he did give her the time of day earlier in the movie (albeit under false pretenses). I took it as the longer she was under the influence of the wish, the more it corrupted her.I also have a hard time understanding Wiig's motivations for joining mando at the White House, other then potentially being infatuated with him somehow?

I'm almost convinced this only takes place in the 80's so that the obvious "where the hell is superman" question has an easy answer

Her motivation is to stop Diana, because she believes if Wiig is stopped she'll lose all the powers she's gained. Why she's there bothers me less than how she knew where to go. The whole wishes thing counter-acting does bother me but I tried not to think too hard so my head wouldn't hurt.what about all the protesters who likely voted for Nukes to vanish?

I think she literally just didn't want him to die so she could keep her powers. She and Diana had the phone call where they determined that the only way to reverse the spell was to destroy the stone (Max) or renounce the wish. So if Diana had killed Max, Kristen Wiig would lose her powers. So that's why she protects him.I think that can be explained that since she essentially gave up her humanity, she wanted to keep the new persona at all costs which is why she was protecting Lord.

But towards the end when everyone with a tv got a wish it should have been a moot point.Lord was picking the wishes to grant, I thought.
And Barbara joined him because she wanted to protect him and keep her power.
He still chose who to grant wishes too. He knew who and what they were wishing cause he was choosing whose organs and life force he took.But towards the end when everyone with a tv got a wish it should have been a moot point.

Also if Diana could fly in the 80's why did she never do it in BvS or JL?
Also Rampage
Funnily enough, I actually didn't mind that. It's the type of comic book silliness I can excuse.It's so dumb that the entire movie hinges on a mall jewelery store operating as a front for smuggled artifacts.
I think it's less flying and more of a superior Batman's cape glide without the cape. After all why would she need to swing off the lightning if she can fly? The whole sequence was just odd in hindsight. Then again she did move a bit faster when she did the Superman 1 arm pose.Also if Diana could fly in the 80's why did she never do it in BvS or JL?
