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. |

Monster, however, does get way outside the boundaries. If Wonder Woman is meant to fall outside of female norms, I see that as a great choice for a director. Is is because Patty Jenkins is a woman? There isn't enough evidence to answer that definitively, so I won't, but I look forward to a day when there is enough evidence to answer the question properly. |

She's so ****in' sexy. Don't care at all if she can act or not. I'll see it just because she's eye candy.
One of the most beautiful women on the planet IMO. And it's a Marvel popcorn flick. It ain't winning an Oscar for best picture/screenplay/actress etc. It's a kid's film based off a comic book I mean wtf else do you expect? As long as it's not a Megan Fox Jennifer's Body or TMNT abomination, then I don't think there should be anything to worry about. Last edited by CoMoChief; 08-04-2016 at 12:52 AM.. |
