Welcome back everyone it's charlie so they dropped a new wonder woman 1984
trailer with a bunch of new footage we'll break it down
also talk about what's going on with wonder woman in the justice league
snyder cut in the future of the dceu now that we know that the flash movie or
at least the flash producers have talked about rebooting the dceu a little bit
with the flashpoint twist so if you're new to the channel be sure
to subscribe to get all the videos 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 going forward
in new dc movies if you've been watching all the other big justice league actors
and the newer dc movie actors like the shazam people or the rock and the black
adam movie talk about wonder woman everybody wants her to cross over into
their movies that are coming up but the new trailer opens with a bunch
of different scenes focusing mostly on the big final battle between wonder
woman and cheetah on that island or the remote location where the special
transmission station is for maxwell lord to broadcast his magical wishing stone
effect around the world simultaneously that's called the dream stone that black
rock they use to make all those wishes that's what he's talking about when he's
speaking in the trailer inside the white house
people of the world i'm here to change your life the white house scene though
is from earlier in the movie you can chart the timeline of the movie in the
trailer footage just based on what cheetah looks like how she starts out as
that awkward comedic barbara minerva version of the character who's just a
normal archaeologist alongside wonder woman at the smithsonian
then maxwell lord discovers and gets his hands on the dream stone which was made
by a god but it's a bit of a monkey's paw
situation where yes you're getting wishes granted but something really bad
usually winds up happening to you as a result of that wish
so they use it to start making their wishes and she starts getting more and
more powerful seemingly getting wonder woman's powers
or at least getting powerful like her because her big desire at least in the
first part of the movie is to be just like wonder woman because you could
tell from that conversation in the earlier trailer when they're talking
about steve trevor and being in love she idolizes her like a goddess
technically wonder woman is a demigod though but wonder woman and kind of the
message of the movie is like uh no not exactly it doesn't work like that my
life isn't as perfect as you think referencing all the people she's lost
along the way mostly in service of setting up that big steve trevor twist
but of course because cheetah is going full blown comic book cheetah in the
movie she totally misses the point all she can
think about is just leveling up her life wonder woman 1984 is mostly meant to be
a movie about what greed does to people metaphorically and literally because it
is a comic book movie so the metaphors become literal by the end of the movie
you become a metaphorical monster but then you literally turn into a monster
like when she goes full blown comic book cheetah
but there's a different scene of her lassoing the lightning bolts which looks
totally badass i can't wait to see how they explain that in the movie
then she's dodging all the cannon fire and then there's a totally new scene of
her using the golden armor to literally fly and take out the guards that are
protecting maxwell lore's big fortified broadcast station
you get a really good look at how the golden armor wings actually articulate
like bird wings or angel wings depending on how you want to look at it
wonder woman is a character built on greek mythology so you could also make
icarus and daedalus references but it's magically enchanted armored just like
her gauntlets or the lasso of truth the armor is ancient in the context
of the movie it's like an heirloom built by one of her ancestors forged from the
pieces of a bunch of different armor sets belonging to other
notable amazon warriors from their history on themyscira
but it was originally designed to be a war suit worn by regular amazons
wonder woman doesn't need to wear armor because she's almost as powerful as
superman almost almost nothing can pierce her
skin the whole reason why she has to wear it
in the movie is because by this point late in the game
so much of her natural power has been drained by the dream stone that she's
just as squishy as a regular human and cheetah has already leveled up again
for the second time into her final boss form
full-blown comic book cheetah as we finally saw and even when wonder woman
is at full strength cheetah's claws are
powerful enough to pierce her skin so with her being de-powered cheetah
would rip through her like tissue paper if she weren't wearing special armor
you could make a lot of batman v superman references with batman's giant
suit the tank suit that he wore when he was trying to fight superman
zack snyder made some jokes and references when he was explaining it
when the movie originally came out he said that it's not so much about
protecting him from superman or preventing superman from killing him
it's really just him wearing that suit of armor to buy him a couple extra
seconds because superman is so powerful it's
like crushing a soda can so that's why it was so critical when they were
fighting each other that he was using the kryptonite otherwise superman would
have just squished him like a bug no matter what kind of armor he was wearing
but even late in the game here during wonder woman 1984 when she's wearing the
armor and she's lost most of her powers it seems like she still has the lasso of
truth and it seems like that hasn't lost any of its potency to the dream stone
i love all this old school 80s technology through all these montages
when maxwell lord is speechifying doing his big villain monologue trying to get
the world to drink his kool-aid the whole mall fight scene later in the
trailer actually happens a bit earlier in the movie
it's going down when everybody starts riding in the streets after this first
big tv broadcast where you see everyone in the street watching him and they
start making wishes causing all kinds of havoc the reason
why everyone starts going full blown crazy town is just a side effect of the
dream stone granting everyone's wishes simultaneously in what it takes from
them in return like the law of equal exchange you can't
create something out of nothing you have to take from one thing to give
to another so one person makes a wish it inadvertently starts affecting the
people around them in negative ways and this is also true of the steve
trevor twist too so her big wish is for steve trevor to
come back and that inadvertently brings him back to life
but it just doesn't magic him up out of nothing they actually have to take from
someone else's body to bring steve trevor back i believe the
movie is supposed to explain that twist pretty well it'll be pretty easy to
follow the cheetah leopard print 80s fashion is totally out of control i
can't wait to see kristen wiig go full comic book in the movie
most of the footage of her at various points in her transformation process do
a pretty good job of showing her range as she slowly descends from normal
person to comic book villain you can really see the twist here when
she takes down the mugger this is really early on when she just starts to notice
her new abilities like hey wait a minute i'm super
fast and super strong then there's a scene of what looks like her
using the lasso of truth to full blown fly through the air but it's not clear
when this is happening during the movie wonder woman of the dc eu can actually
fly she even does it at the end of the first wonder woman movie that's what's
happening when she's launching off of the roof of the louvre in paris
i think the reason why we haven't seen her fly in any huge fight scenes or big
battle scenes up to this point like not flying during the theatrical
cut of justice league is just because they were saving
that for the wonder woman sequels and they wanted it to feel like some big
character development moment like superman flying for the first time in
man of steel is meant to be a really special character development moment for
him as he's leveling up but if you guys are watching all the dc
fandom panels and the justice league snyder cut footage obviously there's a
whole bunch of new wonder woman scenes during the justice league snyder cut
that'll sort of explain what's going on with her character in the future of the
dc eu i've gotten so many questions about
whether or not the snyder cut is going to replace the theatrical cut
as the new canon of the dceu i think if you want to you can take it
that way the studio probably won't fight anybody on that like if you want to
think of this as the new canon then sure go for it
when it comes down to continuity and character beats for the most part the dc
filmmakers the different directors kind of are doing their own things with
the characters in each of their movies there's just a loose continuity that
sort of ties everything together when they get to wonder woman 3 when
that movie eventually comes out patty jenkins will again just kind of do what
she wants to with the character loosely acknowledging some of the stuff that's
happened before but obviously the other big news is that
wonder woman 1984 is now coming out in december right on
christmas so they just decided to delay the movie
because theaters aren't totally open in the united states yet
but the good news is it's still coming out in 2020 at least for now
if there are any big changes to the release schedule or anything like that
of course i'll include that in the videos that i make for the movie
so while you wait for everything click here for that brand new justice league
snyder cut trailer and click here for the brand new batman trailer
thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe i'll see you guys tonight!
