Welcom back everyone, it's Charlie this is going to be my Wonder Woman 1984 trailer breakdown in Easter
eggs there's a whole bunch of stuff going on in this they told us what's
going on with the villain Maxwell Lord in cheetah so we'll break it all down if
you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the easter egg
videos we'll do a new DC merch giveaway all you have to do to enter is be a
subscriber and leave your favorite moment from the trailer on the video
make all the mandalorian Pedro Pascal baby Yoda jokes that you want about this
well just start at the beginning of the trailer and work our way through shot by
shot the trailer picks up in 1984 she's been continuing to save the world save
everyone around her do as much as she can but she's super lonely as you can
see because most of her friends from World War one have died off there's a
whole bunch of pictures and Easter eggs in the background like you look at the
little mantel here there's a picture of Trevor Manor something that she coined
in the name of Steve Trevor they actually go back to Steve Trevor's watch
a couple times remember he gave it to her before he went so she carried it
with her but they start with it at the beginning of the trailer then before he
appears to her again in full members-only 80's attire with his giant
fanny pack they go back to the watch but it's only
after you get the Maxwell Lord intro so if you're familiar with the classic
version of Maxwell Lord that they introduced in and around the Justice
League International period in the comics they're doing something a little
bit different with the character you find out that she's pretty friendly with
cheetah before she becomes cheetah this is the Barbara Minerva version of the
character the reason why they said they went with Kristen Wiig for this roles
because they needed someone who could do funny and personable like this was kind
of an awkward funny person talking to her about being lonely have you ever
been in love she says Oh a long time ago referencing Steve Trevor she says she's
been in love a bunch of times so it's just this funny nice conversation that
they're having over drinks and they needed someone who could do that and
then also go to the full crazy town full-blown cheetah makeup and they did
say that her costume would be a combination of practical and special
effects so when she goes full cheetah they did have to use a little bit of
visual effects to tune her up you may have also noticed an Easter Egg in the
way that they did the titles for the movie in the Warner Brothers logo there
inspired by the classic Christopher Reeve Superman titles with the way that
they fly at the screen now these are just dialed up to the maximum 80s level
with a bunch of neon thrown in but part of the reason for setting the movie in
1984 is it's meant to be the maximum period of our current ideology maximum
greed maximum egos in what kind of villains would come out of that and
that's where you get the Maxwell Lord villain in this movie the song playing
in the trailer is Blue Monday classic 80s track are you going to the mall
today obviously malls were huge in the 80s they spent most of stranger things season 3
inside a giant mall so of course there's going to be a mall during
this if you were at Comic Con in Hall age you probably saw some of this
footage way before everyone else it's not clear why she has to destroy the
mall security cameras when she's saving these people but two people just try to
shoot it up so she takes them down it's also meant to give you a preview for the
crazy practical way that they did their action scenes they said that very little
of this is actual special effects they try to do as much of it real-world as
they could you get your first preview for Maxwell Lord the way patty Jenkins
explained to him in the movie is that he's the king of infomercials so he's
trying to sell everyone on their fantasies so because he's a super
powerful telepath in the comics and he has this giant radar array it wherever
he broadcasts his signal from you can imagine that there's probably some of
his comic book telepathy involved in what he's trying to sell people on this
specific shot of him with all these infomercials is also meant to be an
Easter Egg for this classic 80s ad his speech about everyone getting everything
that they want fulfilling their fantasies having the better life that
they want is also meant to be a parody of Ronald Reagan's famous shining city
on the hill speech during the 80s because it's 1984 Reagan would be
President this time if you don't remember the shining city on a hill
speech it was a big speech that he gave to the American public to pump them up
because we were coming off this really bad recession the economy was terrible
and he was basically coming out and saying no everybody could have their
dreams there's this bright future ahead for us trying to get them to forget
about all the terrible things that have been happening for the past couple of
years so Maxwell Lord is sort of the darkest timeline parody of that you also
notice how they've tuned the color on her way up I mean the whole movie is
super saturated but her costume pops way more than I've seen it in any of the
other movies that she's been in gal gadot also claims that this movie is
bigger than any movie she's done before which includes the Justice League movie
you get another quick shot at Barbara Minerva thinking about things that she
wants obviously it's not totally clear how she becomes cheetah and how close
that's going to be to her a comic book origin but in the comics she became
cheetah when she was cursed by a village of people she's an archaeologist in the
comics she's an archaeologist during this you see Maxwell Lord holding this
artifact I'm assuming that she has something to do with getting him that
artifact love the way they introduce Steve Trevor
at this party though he walks up and puts the watch in her hand just like he
did before he died back during World War one it doesn't seem like she questions
it that much she just completely embraces him like oh I'm so happy that
you're back the rest of the trailer is a little misleading in the way that they
cut it you're just meant to assume that he's really back but because of Maxwell
Lords powers and how he's trying to sell everyone on this fake life I also kind
of feel like there's some fakery going on with Steve Trevor in the movie like
maybe it is fake mine space Steve Trevor and it's just Maxwell Lords power that
he's broadcasting this signal trying to make everyone feel like they're getting
the things that they want when really it's not happening what's not totally
clear is Maxwell Laura's powers in the movie does he start out with powers or
is it this artifact that gives him powers to make everything feel like it's
that much more real this is just another big disaster that's happening near the
Capitol building in the street you see you're wearing civilian clothes that
look a lot like Lynda Carter's clothes during the 70s Wonder Woman series
there's a rumor that she'll have a cameo somewhere in this movie but I didn't
spot her anywhere in the trailer for some reason the White House security
guards are firing at her and Steve Trevor it's not clear why if that has
something to do with Maxwell Lord or he makes the security guards believe that
Wonder Woman is trying to kill the president
great slow-mo shot they just want to show you her abilities it's been a while
since we've seen her on screen so they're just trying to show off how
fantastic their action scenes are and how much more they've evolved the way
that they use her in scenes they really upgraded the way she uses that lasso but
I think that they've just used the last couple of movies to perfect what they
can do with the lasso practically like how do you make the lasso look cool in
action scenes I will get to the last winged lightning part in a second
because yes I do think that there is an invisible jet that we just don't see
because it's invisible during the trailer
this kind of seems like it's Barbara Minerva after she starts to transform
into the cheetah persona like she gets what it is that she wants or she pays
that price the first movie was Wonder Woman just being completely amazed by
modern-day London now it's Steve Trevor just completely being blown away by
everything in present-day 1984 you see her intervening in an international
incident this wall being torn down I think is meant to be a reference to the
Berlin wall being torn down but that wasn't till 1989 so this isn't the
Berlin wall or anything like that this is somewhere a completely different I
think it's just meant to give you a sense in the movie for what she's doing
internationally she's busy helping people all over the world I know there
are a lot of timeline questions because they said in Batman V Superman they
implied that she hadn't been around for the last forty or so years most of those
timeline inconsistency questions can be answered by the idea that they retconned
her backstory in Batman V Superman when they got to the first Wonder Woman movie
so when this movie picks up in 1984 she's been busy being Wonder Woman since
World War one ended here's the weird thing about mine space Steve Trevor
though he actually punches one of these guards so either it's Wonder Woman
imagining him doing that or it really is happening but it's not clear if this has
something to do with the artifact that Maxwell Lord has like maybe he is
getting people to conjure these things up for themselves because of his
telepathic powers but maybe the artifact has something to do with making those
things real turning fake things into real things you have to remember that
the 80s was a very fake it till you make it kind of decade you get a lot of
flashbacks that that mascara you see them cut her running down the street in
Washington DC trying to save people with her as a little girl running in
formation with the other Amazons but here's why I think that there's an
invisible jet in the movie because she lasso something in the middle of the air
that's not there like literally the lasso grabs onto something and lifts her
off the ground and there's nothing there so what else could that be but the
invisible jet but because Maxwell Lord has that giant transmitters sattelite
I'm assuming that this device is connected to that somehow and he's using
it to broadcast his telepathic signal to get everybody to just believe everything
that they want to believe this big action scene on the road seems like it's
happening in the same foreign country where this wall is being torn down also
just another big action scene meant to show you how crazy they can get with her
action scenes there's an time action scene with her going up
against this giant armament then you have a much bigger version of her
seeming like she's lassoing the lightning bolts so like I said if there
is invisible jet during this maybe there is an invisible jet somewhere in this
scene that we're just not seeing the golden armor looks fantastic if you guys
aren't big comic-book readers this is just meant to be a version of her gold
armor from the comics it just meant to be a much more warlike version of the
costume she wears obviously the wings are just meant to represent some of the
excess of the 80s so sort of dovetails with the theme of the movie the
heightened state of everything so that's why her armor levels are over 9,000 and
the reason why she would need to wear something like this covering her arms
and her legs is when Cheeta goes full cheetah because when she gets her powers
cheetah is strong enough to take Wonder Woman down and her claws are strong
enough to just rip right through her flesh so that's why Wonder Woman would
need to protect her open exposed areas then because there's a lot of humor in
Wonder Woman movies they ended that funny tag with Steve Trevor not being
able to tell the difference between modern trash bins in art that's also
meant to be a joke about art during the 80s is it art or is it just a piece of
trash who knows but if you spotted any big easter eggs in the trailer that I
didn't mention in the video just write them below in the comments
