So I watched Wonder Woman, and it was okay (aside from a few nitpicky things), but you can really pinpoint where it jumped the shark; when Remus Lupin from Harry Potter gets outed as Ares. It was fucking dumb, and here's why.
All throughout the movie, Diana is set up to lose her idealism; she's portrayed as being wrong for believing that people are inherently good and there's this corruptible influence from an evil God that's leading them astray. She's taken out of her parasite and thrown into the shitty Great War that is complex, where no country is fully in the right or wrong, where people, in short people. Slowly the movie sets her up to come to terms with the fact that there is no evil God of War, only morals and actions that make the world go round.
And then it turns out Lupin was the evil god all along, and he actually was controlling humanity, and they have a huge CGI fart-fest for 10 minutes. And she basically reaches that conclusion anyways! What was the point of all of that, then? Why couldn't she have just fought an actual human being then? Why do these fucking movies always have to have some villain that is so shitty and one-dimensional that they're like a JRPG villain? Say what you want about Logan but at least the villains in that took a backseat and the real 'villain' was mortality and senility. This shit was like Doctor Strange, with a stupid fucking anime tier villain that wouldn't be out of place in One Punch Man with some sort of inscrutable goal like 'HAHA I WANT TO CORRUPT THE WORLD' or 'HAHA I WANT TO OPEN THE SEEEECRET DARK DIMENSION!!!!ONEOENE'.
When are people going to get tired of capeshit like this, and why are women putting this shit on a pedestal on twatter?
And another thing: muh 'revolutionary female director' copied the shit out of Zack Snyder.
