“To James Cameron -STOP dissing WW: You poor soul. Perhaps you do not understand the character. I most certainly do. Like all women–we are more than the sum of our parts. Your thuggish jabs at a brilliant director, Patty Jenkins, are ill advised. This movie was spot on. Gal Gadot was great. I know, Mr. Cameron–because I have embodied this character for more than 40 years. So–STOP IT.”— Lynda Carter, the actress who played Wonder Woman on TV in the ’70s series, in an open Facebook post to James Cameron. The famed Avatar director has criticized the new Wonder Woman multiple times as being a “step backward” for strong female characters. “She was Miss Israel, and she was wearing a kind of bustier costume that was very form-fitting,” Cameron most recently said, referring to the film’s star Gal Gadot. “She’s absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. To me, that’s not breaking ground. They had Raquel Welch doing stuff like that in the 60s.”

Wonder Woman is make-believe. She’s not real. It’s funny how people are arguing over a non-existent person.

Well, yeah, there’s that.

It’s kindof STUPID of you then to comment on a thread regarding a fictional character – per your OWN argument. Duh!

Clearly Mr. Cameron did get the memo that sex sells.

Everything doesnt have to bw ground breaking, the whole point in going forward is that you can dress how you want. Hell, it was groundbreaking, wonder woma n finally got her own movie after 76 years. A stand alone comic book heroin got a budget of 150 million dollars-groundbreaking, that same movie grossing over 820 million dollars, and could possibly be the highest grossing superhero origin story of all time – Groundbreaking. That same movie grossing more money domestically then Batman vs Superman (i am still pissed about that movie, but i digress) – Groundbreaking, so like Lynda Carter said Just Stop it.

James Cameron kills it with every movie he makes from Titanic to Aliens to Terminator. His movies keep you interested,on the edge of your chair, no wasted scenes or frames, but I hear he has a big ego and anger problems. Back off of Wonder Woman, Jack.

Actually, the original Wonder Woman was Kathy Lee Crosby, not Lynda Carter.

And it was awful. Full body polyester pant suit and her superpowers were gymnastics.
I’m okay with Lynda Carter being remembered as the first live action Wonder Woman.
