How do you feel about Wonder Woman being a rapist now? (Spoilers)

Haven’t seen the movie, and don’t intend to.

But if you are honestly describing the action, then I would say it’s about time. Men have been portrayed as rapists in films for 60 years. I have no problem with a woman being the rapist.

As I have said before on Fluther, women will never be truly equal to men until they do the same nasty crimes.

I agree that is was disturbing.

Then the encounter/smirk at the end when the ‘Chris Pine controlled man’ was free and his actual self again, was also weird.

Of course, the way they used Chris Pine’s face instead of the actor ‘controlled’ was meant to allude that no crime was committed, I’m sure. But it was his body that was violated.

I am so disappointed in almost every way with this movie.

@KNOWITALL
They show Chris Pine look into a mirror, and the original man’s face is seen.
Which means that only Wonder Woman sees Chris Pine’s face, caused by some magical delusion.

The real issue is having her boyfriend take over someone else’s body. Once the former occupant is gone, he might as well make use of the newly acquired body.

Geez.

@ragingloli I think that’s why the end scene with her smirking bothered me so much.

To me, it was like a rapist who’s rufied someone the weekend before, smirking at what they did. Very creepy.

Essentally you are correct.
Let’s reverse their genders for a moment. She regains her normal personality, and has no memory of it. Then, she discovers she is pregnant.
It was creepy for sure.

Why would any woman have to rape someone? If she’s horny she just needs to go to the local bar and let everyone know. Someone will come forward.

I think the internet is more serious about these issues than people in real life.
People in real-time probably don’t have the luxury of social justice warrior-proofing every movie they make.

A lot of people are “act now, be bold and worry about everything else later” instead of “how can we do this without offending anyone”, because I’m sure the people with all that money probably don’t actually care about what we think of it, they probably just want us to purchase it so they have our money.

@Dutchess_III The ‘body’ did not give consent, but at the time he was ‘overtaken’ by a body thief through movie magic, to reunite WW with her previous lover. Don’t take it seriously.

Ooooh – You said “titular”!

Actually I’m not offended, but not exactly impressed either. Obviously the producers don’t have any good ideas on how to develop her character.

@JLoon You are so right! We all loved the Amazon life on the island, why don’t they expand on that rather than a regurgitation of the first?
They could have had Gods interacting with Amazons at least!

The first film was way overrated so no surprise this sequel sucked even harder.
