@mark5: i see Wonder woman as no more or less believable than thor, heck Xena is pretty much the same thing and she had a very good tv show run, as for who is more "badass" that's completely up to opinions, her costume (like most superhero movies) can be modified, her origin and heritage is amazing and there's nothing wrong with it, and her lasso is no more or less ridiculous than a hammer that causes storms
Thor has norse mythos behind him which justifies the hammer partly. Also men and boys (superhero films are geared at them) would find it more awesome than a rodeo whip which makes people tell the truth or a princess crown. Just saying.  Her costume should be more armor like, like Xena was. And besides Xena actually killed people and was a full grown warrior. She is considered quite manly. Wonder Woman is like her but not quite.  Though come to think of it i think taking her the MacGyver way would be better than her killing people. haha.  
You say this as if Wonder Woman never killed anyone.
I know she has killed before. I don't think it could fit well on screen though

Not in any tv or cartoon i've seen her in. In comics no sorry. our opinion are split here. I don't mean badass in power level. I mean  overall character. 
Have you seen Justice League Unlimited? Wonder Woman the animated movie? JLA: On Two Earths? If you haven't seen anything "badass" from her maybe you're limited in what you've seen because i'm sure she's done things that other characters have done that you would call badass.
I've seen all these and nothing struck me as cool. I can't help but be annoyed at how ridiculous a character she is. JLA actually made me dislike her more. She was whipping a rodeo whip while others turned into monsters, ran super fast, shot laser beams or create a cool construct.  JLA: Earth two, i read the comics and watched the film. Nothing to note there. Her power level is impressive but her characterization isn't.  There is more to a character than making them ultra-powerful and a awesome martial artist. if the way you present them isn't good, they end up failing.  
 In fact the film which made me see her more in a good light was Superman?Batman: Apocalypse. Her and Big Barda owned in that film. Despite her distracting costume...i hoped DC would change that in the reboot, good thing they did.

Since when isn't Wonder Woman badass? Where are you getting this from?

@mark5: um...you just completely deviated from the subject at hand, it's obvious you don't like Ww fine, but no need to insult her, what you find uninteresting might not be what everyone else finds uninteresting, as a matter of fact i enjoy reading WW alot more than Thor. don't tear down one character just because you personally dislike them

I just gave you reasons why she can't make it, she's not badass or believable enough and wouldn't fit with general audiences. Do you think people will take a woman with a rodeo whip seriously. Stop taking offense i just listed reasons why she's less cooler than thor and less plausible as an idea. Even Thor they had to downplay for the wider audience so they could get rid of the hippie stuff in his comics. Unless they make major revamps on WW they can't transit her successfully. her costume, appeal, heritage and equipment makes her something geared towards 8-14 year old cinematic audience if they don't deviate too much from the comics. Thor can be at least enjoyed by a wider range of audience. 
Again don't take offense. There is no need to get defensive.  I'm not trying insulting her, just been brutally honest.

@The Stegman: Thor doesn't go around in a bikini and shorty shorts with the american flag on them and whip a rodeo whip around her enemies. Plus she lives on an island with women warriors. 
Thor lives in the dimension of alien gods who ride a cool looking wormhole to get to earth and have a chap who can see and hear anything in the universe. Plus is has family drama (not silly female love angst) on a cosmic scale.   he has a cool hammer which can create storms, not a rodeo whip and a tiara like some 10 year old birthday princess.  No offense to WW fans, she comes off as pathetic and impractical to me. The 1970s was good, but only a preppy way. I watched it for lols. I didn't actually take her seriously.  For Thor, it took the cosmic drama pretty suspenseful.    Supergirl is more awesome, as with the new gods (Big Barda) . Those would work better IMO. 

Besides Thor wasn't so good a movie, it was more the graphics and concept that wowed the audience than the actual plot.
