Adrianne Palicki is an EXCELLENT choice for Kelleys Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman
Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8808 issues.
The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.
It's Official: Adrianne Palicki is Wonder Woman
I'm skeptical.
First of all, people are way to focused on her physically fulfilling the role. Is Clooney more classically handsome than Christian Bale? Yes. Did he make a better Batman? Absolutely not.
The general public's faith in female-led comics or movies is so little because they make the same mistake over and over and over again. They over-emphasize the style and physicality of the role and do nothing more to substantiate it, they don't put the effort to make them compelling and believable characters. All successful examples of female heroines actually had interesting conflict- Buffy, Beatrix Kiddo, Xena...Sydney Bristow (mostly)
Frankly, I don't see her as Wonder Woman, I've seen her in Friday Night Lights and I've looked into her appearances on other shows and usually she plays the hot, boring, almost doofus-like roles that suit screencaptures more than they do scenes.
Also WTF David E Kelly? I hate how everyone is so obsessed with simplifying and re-imagining comicbook continuity. Wonder Woman has lasted decades upon decades on her continuity, don't mess with it. Just imagine Alley Macbeal except more iconic and times 12 in length.
I have to comment on this, and some may find it sexist but my Wonder Woman has to have nice rack! I haven't seen her in the costume yet but I just don't see it, I get that she's tall enough but I watched Friday Night Lights and never thought she was all of that. I don't know I guess I'm kinda iffy on it. WW is supposed to be statuesque and I don't see that in this girl she is a beautiful young woman, but I don't know about a Wonder Woman. I guess I'll just shut up until I see her in the costume!
BOO!!!
I'd usually not complain at this stage in the proceedings but I'm really not gonna get my hopes up here.
If anything this could make WonderWoman into a toxic property.
Diana as a high flying business exec'? Have warner brothers learned nothin' from recent comic movies? Changes like this aren't necessary.
you people are forgetting WW is fictional! there is no one like her. there is no one that flawless. and also that girl is from tv shows not from films. who would be better than her? who is your alternative? Adrianne Palicki is a very good choice. who would you pick? i don't think anybody can come up with a name who is "perfect" for the role. i know her from FNL and she did great in that. i hope and believe she'll do great in this too. and of course there is the script, it shouldn't be less WW and too Ally McBeal. don't think her "as the show". she'll be WW, not the show. the show is much more important than her looks.
Adrianne needs muscles, and dark hair, that's all. she doesn't look like a porn star, she has a soft side like WW and she looks badass as well. so, stop judging, people!
Eh, I'll give the show a shot, but this is far from the best casting for Di. I admit that I'm not getting a Wonder Woman from her (from pictures, vids, etc.), but she could surprise me and do really well. I guess I'm staying optimistic? At least it is going forward and not stuck in pre-production limbo. To be honest, I've pretty much lost most of my faith in DC and the WB, so my expectations are low for anything they release movie, comic, video, television, etc. wise.
MAN WHAT`S WRONG WITH PEOPLE ? SHE ?? as wonder woman ???? ok they going to dye her hair black but that`s not enough ! she doesn`t look like her anyway .
She currently has brunette hair, though." Okay I was like noo she's blonde Wonder Woman has black hair we'll see if this is good or not "
This is her from her very recent appearance on Criminal Minds. She did a brilliant job at portraying a psychopath, for which you need to have acting range to pull off the mood swings and look seductive without being over the top.
Here's her with a PHOTO-SHOPPED WW costume.
Wait a second, she's in the Red Dawn remake with Josh Peck? No way... I have the VHS sitting on top of my TV waiting for me to finally watch it. That's insane...
She's a horrible choice for sure, but does it matter really? They could cast anyone they want and it still won't save this show from being complete torture.
"I hate to say this so bluntly, but I don't thnk her face is pretty enough. I think the woman who plays Wonder Woman should be stunning. This actress isn't. "
lol
" @Brickabrack said:ya ikr?"I hate to say this so bluntly, but I don't thnk her face is pretty enough. I think the woman who plays Wonder Woman should be stunning. This actress isn't. "lol "
Normally I would be blunt with this because I think she is not... how do I say this, tough enough looking? Too girlish? Maybe its what happens to my mind wgen I look at comic book WW's face structure and then her's and I just cannot see it. Idk but she is good looking enough but I don't know I guess we'll have to wait and see. It could work.
The big thing about this topic is that we all have standards on who WW should look like. Any red blooded heterosexual male has their ideal image of the amazon, even me. Not going into that zone, but this woman Adrienne is an unknown (relatively), and at least should be given the benefit of the doubt. I think she may surprise us all.
Now, looking at her from a physical standpoint, being critical about it... it appears that she needs to bulk up. If she's been living on a island for a long time, with no modern amenities and physically being pushed all the time to hone and harness her body to perfection, then she needs some more muscle. (Being a guy now) She needs bigger bewbs. LOL
I hold no expectations on this series, nor do I know if I will ever see it. Just giving my two cents... Jim
