Didn’t think it was possible but I’m even gayer for the Amazons than I already was

damn even Wonder Woman doesn’t have time for terf nonsense
“We have a saying, my people. ‘Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.’”
– Wonder Woman #25 (2008)
can you IMAGINE seeing adam west walk into an orgy and just start Being Batman… holy shit
I feel so #blessed by all these casual amazon photos
I love how these bts Amazon photos are so not-male-gaze-y. The woman don’t even hold themselves like actresses being looked at by men, they look like athletes or like women who don’t depend on men for their paychecks & validation.
Wonder Woman is my everything.
Rest in fucking pieces.
What’s better than this?! The Wonder Woman theme was performed on an electric cello?!!
#just end me #someone add fireworks to that cello and strap her to a truck in the wasteland shredding to valhalla
Y’ALL THAT IS TINA GUO AND YES SHE PERFORMED THE WONDER WOMAN THEME FOR THE MOVE SCORE.
This is suddenly relevant again…
The character of Chief from Wonder Woman was played by Eugene Brave Rock who is from the Kanaii reserve in Southern Alberta. He took the inspiration for his character from real life WWI hero Mike Mountain Horse who is also from southern AB.
In the film Chief greets Diana in Blackfoot. Shortly after they have a conversation about how his people’s land was taken away by Steve’s people.This is how you have First Nations representation: cast First Nations actors, draw from historical First Nations heroes and if they are going to speak a First Nations language cast someone who is part of that Nation!
He also personally created his whole look. Instead of the costume designer doing what they think a native man would wear. He included things that would have personal significance to his character, not because it looks “Indian” *side-eyes the lone ranger*
Because I am feeling ridiculously fannish about Wonder Woman at the moment, and because I am a nerd with too much time on her hands on a Sunday evening, here are a few interesting tidbits for you taken from the Wonder Woman IMDB page (with a little help from Wikipedia).
There are 17 named Amazons in the credits (plus 15 actresses listed as guards, warriors, or townspeople.) 11 of the 17 named characters have their ages listed.
Average age = 41.4 years
Oldest Amazon = 57 years
Youngest Amazon = 26 years
7 Amazons played by actresses 40 or older
Connie Nielsen (Hippolyta) and Robin Wright (Antiope) are both 51 years old.
Of the 32 women listed as playing Amazons in the credits, half if not more are women of color (not all the actresses had photos on their page).
These women are of all shapes and sizes. There are stuntwomen, personal trainers and at least one boxer.
tl;dr = when you put women in charge of making a movie about a female superhero and the culture in which she is raised, you get something more realistic than 85% of the movies out there – superhero related or not.
I KNEW THERE WAS A LOT OF AMAZON WOC BUT SOMEONE TOOK THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE CREDITS AND COUNT!! Thanks!
It was very noticeable to me that a lot of the Amazons were older women, and it made me very very very happy.
