Looks better than I expected. Was not happy about the Gadot casting, but she looked pretty bad-ass in the trailer. Pine looks like a dumb-ass as Trevor though. That may just be my anti-Trek reboot rage though.

I see her clips on occasion and am constantly befuddled that she isn't starring in something on Network or Premium cable. |

Up there with Storm's 'what happens to a toad who gets struck by lightning' line. Heck, it might have even been palatable, and totally in keeping with your line of thinking if, instead of saying 'sounds like slavery to me' WW had said 'don't work too hard, you're not his slave.' Still not a great line, but better. |

I thought it was just a cute little bit clearly targetted at a demo that doesn't generally go out for comic book movies.

That said, it looks really good, as far as trailers go. |

Probably the same reason marvel wants a female director for captain marvel.

I think Nerdist takes up most of her time, but she does a podcast called Bizarre States (never heard it). She's a relatively new mom as well, so maybe that is why she isn't out there more? She certainly has the look and personality to be or do more, imnsho.

Where's the mandate to hire a female to direct Aquaman or Planet Hulk? Or are female directors just relegated to female lead characters? |

At the end of the day there are major issues with gender imbalance in entertainment, so I don't really have an issue with it, so long as the women hired are qualified and do a good job. Maybe some success here will help open doors and help balance the scales down the road. To the point that gender isn't relevant to the discussion. Although at the same time there's the risk that box office and/or critical failure by either of these films (referring to ww and cm) will result in a step back toward the perception that female leads can't carry franchises and female directors can't deliver the goods. Because there's little doubt in my mind that they'll face tougher scrutiny than their male counterparts, whether we're talking writers, actresses or production staff. Regardless, they can't afford for either of these movies to fail, not just for that reason, but because they're both such major characters in their respective comic universe. |

It just seems like an unnecessary ploy. But that's not to say that Patty Jenkins isn't talented or unworthy of the gig. |
