Welcome back everyone it's charlie big surprise dc just dropped a new trailer
for wonder woman 1984 so we'll break it down there's a couple new wonder woman
versus cheetah scenes so i'll explain what's going on during that there's a
couple big easter eggs and we have dc fandom trailers coming up
for all the dc movies in a little while too
so be sure to subscribe to get all those videos i'll do a special giveaway for dc
fandom as well they're sending me a bunch of
stuff in a special box i had to sign a whole bunch of forms to get it so i'll
find out what that is pretty soon there's also a bunch of new wonder woman
1984 footage that they're going to show off
separately as part of a big movie re-release plan that i'll explain later
in the video i'll number these as we go along but
just going through the footage shot by shot so most of this new footage focuses
on the cheetah character and what her transformation to full-blown cheetah is
like during the movie and how wonder woman reacts to that
along with the big epic battle they get into after she becomes
full cheetah but the new cheetah scenes that they put in this trailer are
actually taken from a couple different places in the movie
is a couple scenes they chopped up and then jammed together with some voice
over from a different part of the trailer that aren't necessarily related
the voice over scene in the first part is barbara minerva talking to maxwell
lord after he's taken in the full power of
the dreamstone later in the movie making her second wish asking to become
a true apex predator that's the final wish she makes to him
in order to become full comic book cheetah but that's not
actually what her wish is as you heard her say she says she
doesn't want to be like anyone else which is just a reference to wonder
woman she's saying she literally doesn't want
to become wonder woman she wants to be something different something more
so the dream stone in true twisted movie fashion as you would expect
interprets her wish in the worst possible way
by literally turning her into a monstrous animal-like apex predator
it's a very monkey's paw situation or if you're a big anime fan it's like the
fate stay series with the grail you make a wish on the grill but it fulfills your
wish in the most nightmarish way possible so
cheetah gets all this power but in turn has to give up her humanity
the second part of that scene is footage of kristen wiig running really fast like
wonder woman while she still looks like a human
that's from way earlier in the movie as she makes her first wish on the dream
stone and if i didn't say it before the dream
stone is that special black rock that's the actual name of it it was created by
one of the gods one of the greek gods in the wonder woman
pantheon but they never say witch god during the movie
and it's not like the first movie where there's an actual god in the movie
showing up pulling the strings from behind it's just maxwell lord and
cheetah being the villains but the first wish that cheetah makes is
to be just like wonder woman when she's still barbara minerva like i wish i
could be just like diana so the dreamstone's
twisted interpretation of that is that she gets all of wonder woman's
powers taking power from wonder woman the stone giveth in the stone taketh
away you have to give it something of yourself in order for its magic to work
so wonder woman winds up giving up her power without realizing it when she
wishes for steve trevor to come back to life
and that's how mr fanny pack himself winds up showing up in the movie
so really is steve trevor running around but that explains some of the big
power shift twists during the movie it's kind of a gradual thing through the film
too like this fight scene here between the
two of them midway through the movie in the white house
is wonder woman and steve trevor trying to save the president from max ball lord
and cheetah but by this time she's gotten way weaker
and cheetah has gotten way stronger strong enough that she can soak
damage from the lasso of truth like you can see when she catches it here
winter soldier style so cheetah is basically upgrading herself through the
course of the film a couple different times
later in the movie maxwell lord also upgrades himself using the dream stone
and that's when you see him in the special broadcast station here
transmitting his power all over the world simultaneously
and things really go off the rails that's around the time that cheetah
makes her final wish to become the apex predator and becomes full cheetah
then as part of that new footage that's where this scene of wonder woman in the
full gold armor is saying barbara what did you do like oh hell no
i can't believe you just did this then they lay into each other in this huge
fight scene but by this time in the movie she's lost
most of her power so that explains the logic behind that
golden suit of armor she needs it to protect herself from cheetah because she
has become so strong at this point if you've ever watched any of the
animated dc movies they do a lot of cheetah versus wonder woman
and even when wonder woman is at full power cheetah is still powerful enough
with her abilities to counter her she's not quite as strong as wonder woman but
her claws can pierce wonder woman's skin so you have to imagine that this gold
armor is crazy powerful the way that wonder woman talks about it
during the movie is that she keeps it around as an heirloom of the amazons and
it was created by one of her ancestors who melted down the armor
pieces of a bunch of other amazonians to just make a really badass suit and it
does a bunch of really cool things it's not just pure armor the
wings actually work they articulate they actually fully built a practical
version of this for them to film in the movie with so you have to picture her
walking around on set between takes trying not to poke people's eyes out
while they were filming this wonder woman doesn't really start
getting her power back enough to fight cheetah till the end of the
movie when she finally comes to grips with the reality of what the dreamstone
has done and she has to take back her steve
trevor wish in order to save the world but that's what this scene of the
trailer is all about where he's saying you know what you have to do
patty jenkins was also talking about wonder woman 3 and i know a lot of
people are like will cheetah come back in future movies
would she ever appear in a suicide squad sequel because
technically she's a villain of the dc universe now wonder woman 1984
isn't so much about how wonder woman defeats villains it's more about how she
tries to save everyone that also includes the villains
like she tries to save maxwell lord she also tries to save
cheetah because she used to be her friend barbara minerva
they kind of established that at the beginning of the film so you sympathize
with cheetah a little bit more like oh we can see why she made this choice to
become the cheetah character but she has this big fall from grace and
unlike wonder woman who is able to take back her wish and let steve trevor die
again cheetah is not able to wish away her
powers she still wants to have all these abilities
so she could always come back during wonder woman 3 in present day
still in full cheetah form with all of her powers the way that patty jenkins
talks about it though is that she won't start working on wonder woman 3
for a little while it'll probably take about three years to get that movie out
and she said that that would be her very last wonder woman movie
at dc it's still years away so i wouldn't worry too much about that right
now they're just taking it one movie at a time
if you're a big pedro pascal fan though he's on fire in the movie and obviously
there's all the mandalorian season two stuff coming up
in a couple weeks they'll be dropping all those dc fandom trailers i'll try to
do as many of those videos as i can it's going to be a lot of stuff it'll be really
cool though as long as you have alerts enabled for
my channel you should see all those videos when i post them
in the special new wonder woman 1984 footage
is supposed to screen during the inception re-release in movie theaters
but while you wait for everything everyone click here for that brand new
