    You are pouting by refusing to admit where you are wrong and by constantly saying, 'bye'. Are popular opinions correct opinions?

    I'm pouting by dismantling your argument? LOL okay. This will get all the more fun if I get to point out how you don't understand the meaning to actual words. Are popular opinions correct opinions?

    Nope. I already explained how you are pouting but since you are notorious for needing multiple explanations, I will provide you with one again. By consistently refusing to support your arguments and by repeatedly making false claims of leaving the debate, you are exposing just how wounded you are. In other words, pouting.

    I supported my argument. You disagree. that's fine. But don't go around calling me a racist for my opinion, which most people share when I was specifically referencing this argument. If you want numbers go look online yourself. You're the one who brought race into this. And I'm pretty sure harassment and insults are against the rules so unless you have some type of obsession with me can you please hop off or PM me or something.

    This is going to sound antisemitic, but I promise you it's not. However I honestly feel the Jews that run Hollywood have jumped at the chance to cast a shaina maidel (pretty girl) from Israel in the role of the ultimate shiksa (non-Jewish) superhero for their own validation and gratification.

    I wish they would've gone with a Latina like Lynda Carter, that actually looks like Wonder Woman, instead of someone who (in my opinion) looks nothing like her.

    • Saying you did something you never did is a lie, just in case you are unsure about that. But since that seems to be your M.O. now, what more could I expect from you?
    • If you hold racists opinions, you are a racist.
    • I want you to support your claims. It's not my responsibility to support YOUR argument. You make stupid claims, you support them or they are dismissed as stupid.
    • You brought race into this by saying that Gal doesn't deserve the role of Wonder Woman because she's brown.
    • Yeah, good thing I never insulted you, isn't it?

    If anyone but a white person gets cast it's always some devious plot on the part of the higher ups in Hollywood. You people are loony.

    • When did you post evidence that most people think Gal is terrible for Wonder Woman? When did you present the 24 minimum actresses that could do a better job? The short answer is that you never did.
    • You didn't call her brown but you said she doesn't look like a 'faceless' white character and thus can't have the role. Therefore because Gal is a darker color, she is not fit. Therefore, racist.
    • More people agree with you if you can provide evidence of such a claim.
    • You are free to stop posting at any time. I'll have nothing to reply to if you stop posting nonsense.

    I´m not trying to be antisametic here. I really am not. I have many jewish friends, but I´m starting to sense some Jewish Nepatism in the casting choices.

    Eisenberg as Lex Luthor is the stupidest shit I´ve ever heard of.

    I´ll give Gadot a chance, but once again Israeli Wonder Woman. Not that I have a problem with that I think WW should have an accent, anyway. But again a jewish actor that many would say is not qualified to play such an iconic character, when actresses like Rebecca Hall, alexandra daddario, or Chloe Moritz or many other actresses would have been better choices, or at least proven choices that show they are taking the character seriously.

    Ben Affleck, as Batman, hey do a movie that is anti-Iranian and suddenly you can play Batman. Again a hint of jewish influence here.

    I hate to sound like this, but it really is starting to feel like that.

    This is actually worse than the time you claimed the only way Gal Gadot could have got the job was on her knees.

    Helpful hint: there isn't a way to claim there's a secret Zionist conspiracy upon the goyim that's not anti-Semitic. Just don't even try. All it does is make that Worst Fandom Ever trophy sit a little more snug on the Wonder Woman forum's shelf.

    I can't refuse evidence when nothing was presented. I am free to stop replying to you, but I choose not to. That choice is still available to you, however.

    Didn't I say they should have cast a Latina? I don't mind the fact Gal Gadot is Jewish, I mind the fact she looks nothing like Wonder Woman. While I'm on the subject, I'm a Black man, I've been a fan of Michael B. Jordan since he was on "the Wire" and I still feel like he was the wrong choice for Johnny Storm. Especially because they cast a white girl to be his sister, now that ish is "loony" and it alters the dynamics of the Fantastic Four.

    I'm trying to reconcile her inexplicable casting. If you prefer my other explanation, that's cool too, but I find both versions probable.

    "Should we give Gal Gadot a chance to play as Wonder Woman?"

    *sigh*
    *sigh*

    YES! Because it's the only chance currently available. Once they decide their chooses for such and such, that's it. It's a done deal. Going back on their deal would make them look like amateurs in their line of work.

    Gal Gadot would just have a minor role in Batman Vs Superman/ Man Of Steel 2 since the main focus will be Batman, Superman, and Lex Luthor, and that her involvement will be a set up for the Justice League and her solo film(s). So basically, it's just a introduction film for her like what Hawkeye is for THOR. Whatever WB and Zack Snyder had in mind when choosing Gal Gadot to play the role is beyond me, but I'd wish they thought things thoroughly through when going into making their blue-prints for "Project JLA" and their later DC films. The only things I can think of when they casted Gal Gadot was her background, her ascent, her being a tall-young-woman (since WW is tall), and the fact that she's not a big time movie star yet so they figure that she'd be the face when people think of WW. My problem with her is the fact that there are hundred young and talented actress out there who not only got the looks but the experiences to play the role and can do a better job since there finally having a dominant character on the big screen that's been loved by fans alike and has been around for years and should be taken seriously as with Batman and Superman, but isn't because of the source material and has to take masseurs to make some changes in order to put her where she needs to be in their DC Film Universe. I don't like the way things seems to be going with WB, but hey, I'm not a director nor own a studio -- so who am I to judge?

    I'm sure Marvel had some troubles here and there when they started out doing their Marvel's Cinematic Universe but they came a long way, joined up Disney to do even more things like with cartoons and as such, did Avengers and is now on the lead making more films and products for fans to enjoy. DC wants to be like Marvel but better and wants to do whatever it takes to catch up to it's competitors. We'll just have to wait and see how things play out with Gadot. So don't sweat it.
