Gal had also already shown up in BvS and basically stole the show, so there was something there upon which to base cautiously optimistic expectations. Well, that and Patty Jenkins. Whereas I don't even know who directed CM.
Gina Carano should have been Wonder Woman. Period. The End.



Sorry, but this is what the character SHOULD look like. And not just because she has a great rack - but because she looks like what an Amazon should look like.

Would you want a mousy Superman?

Maybe if she could act well enough to carry a blockbuster. But she can't.

And Gadot IS Wonder Woman now. No question about that. Regardless of what or who anybody might have wanted, she owned the role and now she embodies it.

Oh yeah, acting ability is important in an overwrought live action cartoon. Too bad Meryl Streep wasn't available to play Wonder Woman.

Not sure what you're trying to argue here. This isn't the 70s. Marvel and DC have both taken their properties really seriously, actors and directors, since they started this push into mainstream movies. Nearly everybody is A-list at this point. Carano was fine for something like a secondary villain role in Deadpool, but there's no way she could've carried a tentpole spring/summer movie on her own.

I think she'd have done just fine. Obviously there's no way of knowing for sure. These movies are popular primarily because of the CGI and action scenes, not the actors displaying their alleged chops between CGI action scenes. Seriously, how many of the stars of these films are truly talented actors when you take all that shit away? It's not like everybody is Robert Downey Jr.

Nearly the entire Marvel Avengers cast or actors, and even some minor characters, are pretty well-respected actors.

I'm not gonna say that Gadot has spectacular acting chops or anything but she's a TON better than Gina Carano.

You cast Carano in that movie and it would've absolutely tanked. She couldn't even manage to play (essentially) herself worth a damn in Deadpool and in a Fast and Furious movie she still managed to look out of her element. She got blown off the screen by Vin Diesel, FFS...

This isn't about needing an Oscar caliber performance - but you can't have someone that friggen terrible carrying a $100 million marvel property.

I think Marvel made a weird call (made even stranger by the fact that Gadot's accent was so uncoachable that they had to make all the other Amazonians speak with that weird caricature of a vaguely Russian accent to make it 'part of the character'), but Carano would've been an even worse one and ultimately Gadot's done a nice job with the part.

Depends on if you like Nickelback or not. I think this needs a thread of its own.
