Welcome back everyone it's charlie this is going to be my new wonder woman 1984
trailer video they just released a brand new prequel story for the movie that
explains what's going on and why everything is so
crazy in the trailer in a bunch of wonder woman justice
league snyder cut stuff in addition separately and wonder woman dc future
movies spin-offs and tv shows that they're working on
so we'll break it all down there's a lot of big dc stuff happening right now
because we're heading into that big dc fandom comic con panel and i'll be doing
videos for all that stuff too because they'll be dropping a bunch of footage
we'll do a new amazon giveaway all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber
and let me know what you want them to do with wonder woman after wonder woman
1984. i'll just number these as we go along
just to stay organized but the first big thing
is the prequel story that they just released for wonder woman 1984
is how it connects with what's going on with cheetah the wonder woman character
steve trevor coming back with his special little fanny pack there
walking around in the trailer and maxwell lord who's supposed to be the
villain of the movie but since this is happening in 1984
there's no justice league yet superman in the man of steel movie
hasn't even crashed earth in his pod that's around 1986 since he's about 27
during man of steel fun fact though if we're talking about
justice league connections here batman's parents were killed in crime alley when
he was about eight years old canonically if this movie is taking place in 1984
then ben affleck's batman would have already lost his parents a couple years
earlier if he's supposed to be around 42 or so during batman v superman
we don't know exactly what the year is going to be for robert pattinson's the
batman movie so i can't say a hundred percent when he was born but he's
supposed to be a younger version of the character
but it's not connected to the wonder woman movies or to justice league the
justice league snyder cut or any of that stuff so don't worry too much about the
timeline for the batman movie we'll talk about that when they start releasing
more batman trailers but in this big wonder woman 1984 movie
prequel story that they just released she's been working at the smithsonian in
washington dc for a while putting out some small fires she's still
wonder woman she's still helping people out but it's much smaller scale there
aren't any major wars that she's participated in in the last year or so
heading into the movie it's really during the events of the
movie that things go into global catastrophe mode
they're not retconning anything during this movie so the justice league
timeline all the pre-existing wonder woman movie story that you've seen
through batman v superman the first wonder woman movie that's all still
valid so eventually in the future she goes to
work for the louvre in paris like we saw during batman v superman or during the
first wonder woman movie but the big thing about the prequel
story that they just revealed is it explains what the dream stone
is and how it fits into the wonder woman mythology is an object created by one of
the greek gods the dream stone is the special black
rock that you see in all the trailers they implied that ares killed most of
the other greek gods in that big flashback scene in the first
wonderbombing movie this big rebellion happened when zeus was creating
themschira but if aerys survived the present day
now it's implied that other gods also survived to present day
here's the big thing about the movie even though a lot of people had early
theories about where maxwell lord gets his power from because of how he works
in the comics there aren't any actual gods played by
other characters supposed to be in the movie there's no
secret god like ares in the first movie hiding out wearing the skin of a human
pretending to be normal pulling the strings or anything like that
but during the prequel story there's this whole subplot about people stealing
antiquities and special items with power that are headed to the smithsonian for
wonder woman and barbara minerva to investigate and catalog
we learned that barbara minerva is just another archaeologist working at the
smithsonian that wonder woman befriends and she starts to idealize her
one of the special items that winds up getting stolen
is the special black rock and it's just maxwell lord manipulating the dreamstone
and cheetah that explains why everything goes completely crazy during the movie
so technically he does wind up using power of the gods it's just that you
never really see who that god is they never really
explain which god created the dream stone
but it is exactly what it sounds like it has the ability to grant
one of your wishes or deepest desires making it come true
but it's a big monkey's paw situation and the way they balance the story
is that the god power of the dreamstone doesn't just create something out of
nothing law of equal exchange when you use its power it also takes
something of equal value from you so number three this is what explains
cheetah becoming full-blown comic book cheetah and steve trevor
coming back during the movie and even wonder woman wearing that special golden
armor because there are all kinds of fan
theories about what's going on when this was first revealed
people thought that it was hades bringing steve trevor back from the
underworld because we're talking greek gods here
people thought that he was martian manhunter for a little while pretending
to be steve trevor so he's real he's full on back to life
none the worst for wear and it's all because wonder woman
accidentally uses the dreamstone's power without realizing what the consequences
are you have to give up something in order
for the power to work its magic wonder woman and cheetah's wishes sort
of overlap with each other and maxwell lord is trying to
manipulate both of them so notice how awkward
cheetah seems when she's talking to wonder woman at the beginning of the
trailer here she's still full on barbara minerva but
then later in the trailer and these pictures
she mysteriously gets super hot and super confident in herself
then at the end of the movie gets more and more powerful eventually turning
into full-blown cheetah monster form from the comics
it's the cheetah wishes early in the movie that she could be just like wonder
woman so because it's a comic book movie of
course the dream stone literally makes her like wonder woman and in order
to get steve trevor back to life the dream stone takes
wonder woman's power from her simultaneously giving it
to cheetah and that sort of explains why wonder woman has to wear that special
suit of golden armor from the comics so number two more steve trevor as you
can see there's a moment in the trailer this kind of explains what's going on
when wonder woman is freaking out and steve trevor tells her you know
what you have to do this is wonder woman after she's lost her power she has to
take her wish back reversing steve trevor so that he
goes back to being dead and gone but in exchange she gets all of her
powers back and she can finally stop cheetah and maxwell lord
the reason why it seems like she's flying into thin air is just because
she's lassoing a regular airplane and they hadn't finished the visual effects
on the trailer when they released this still pretty cool scene it's just kind
of misleading the way you see it during the trailer but most trailers are like
that it's the same situation where it seems
like she's lassoing the lightning bolts in these really crazy trailer scenes
here it's just that there's a lot of unfinished special effects and visual
effects here the number one the whole thing with
wonder woman in the justice league snyder cut as you saw from the last big
snyder cut trailer they released is there's a ton more subplot and story
with her character in her history incorporated to the dark side parts of
the movie they fight him off but this is all happening before wonder woman is
born so she's learning about this for the first time in this scene here
there's also a ton more wonder woman and present day running around during the
alternate story lines with the other characters
you have to imagine that the snyder cut is going to be over four hours long
so it's almost like they're adding an entire new movie or even
two movies into what we originally saw but all this justice league snyder cut
stuff isn't connected to the other spin-offs
in future wonder woman projects that patty jenkins has been talking about
so obviously they're doing wonder woman three but patty jenkins was also working
on a spin-off wonder woman movie she said that's on hold right now
and she also recently said that they're developing an animated wonder woman tv
show but no idea when that would premiere but it would be an hbo max
show so most of the really big new dc series that they're developing
are for hbo max there's supposed to be a much longer justice league snyder cut
trailer at the big dc fandom comic con panel that zack snyder
is doing next month there's also a special justice league
convention that he's doing this month in july so he'll also probably reveal some
new details deleted scenes and story lines that he's adding back in
so whatever that is i'll do videos for that stuff too while you wait for
everything click here for that really cool video of henry cavill building
himself a gaming pc for the first time during the quarantine
and click here for that last big justice league snyder cut trailer that they
released thank you so much for watching everyone
stay safe i'll see you guys tonight!
