Review of Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) by Edcoopdeville — 25 Dec 2020
What I didn't like was the fact that they bring Steve back as a spirit that possesses some random guy's body, and that Diana and Steve, while possessing this man's body, are not only in this man's home, and trying on his clothes, but she has sex with this possessed man in his bed.
If this wish stone made other people's wishes come true, and created giant walls and made other things materialize, then why didn't they just bring Steve back in his own body? Why did he have to take over this random man's life, who basically has no say in the matter? I'll bet you if the roles were reversed, and Batman or Superman wished for a dead lover to come back, and it possessed some random woman's body, and they had a scene with them waking up together in bed, that there would have been an uproar, because isn't that considered rape? Having sex with someone who's drunk or drugged, and not in control of their body or able to give consent, isn't that considered rape? And in the remainder of the movie this man, who is possessed by the spirit of Steve Trevor, is put into various perilous situations and even shot at and I don't think that's cool.
Plus, I thought you only get one wish, so why did Barbara get two wishes? Her first wish to become like Diana, then the second wish to become an apex predator/Cheetah? That completely contradicts what we were told in the beginning of the movie.
And why are all the men portrayed as catcalling jerks (i.e., except for Steve Trevor)? And why is there a little boy just roaming around unattended in various offices and facilities, and in the one of the last scene's he's stranded and walking alone on a stretch of highway, and at the end comes running out of the woods by himself? Where's his mother or guardian? Also, how does a man (Steve Trevor) who only flew planes in the 1940's able to fly a military jet that has 1980's technology? I think there are too many plot holes and things that make no sense, and that are just wrong and cringeworthy, especially the fact that a superhero has sex with a non-consenting possessed man.
That's just wrong on so many levels and this movie is just wrong on so many levels.
