Wonder Woman Review SPOILERS

Going into seeing Wonder Woman I wasn’t expecting much. I didn’t want to get my hopes up and be devastated with it like I had with many of DC’s other movies. But I was happily surprised with the movie.

It was a great origin story with an adorable baby Diana that led all the way into adorable adult Diana. The movie gave a great origin story that was much overdue.

Wonder Woman has come a long way from the sexist world she was created in. Though there has been many comics and she played big part in the animated series, she has never seen the big screen. 
Now that she has it was worth the wait to have it done the right way.

You see Diana thrust herself into the world of man and learn that everything isn’t as she been told by her mother. She learns also from her love interest, Steve Trevor that man might not be perfect, but they do deserve to be saved.

The action scenes were great. Clad with her armor of bullet deflecting bracelets of submission, breast plate and knee high boots. She also has lasso of truth, shield and sword called the God Killer. Diana is armor in herself also as it turns out she’s a God.

Born of Zeus and the Amazon queen, Hippolyta, Diana is more powerful than even she knows. In the end Diana defeats her brother and enemy, Ares, the god of war, with help from them team Steve Trevor put together. The movie explains the picture that we saw in the Batman vs Superman that was seen.

But there were a few holes in the story, as it connected with the other stories in the DC universe.
 The first being, if Zeus made the island to protect against a God how was a mere man able to get. Not only just Steve Trevor, but a whole fleet of German soldiers.

Now this could be an explanation of maybe Zeus didn’t make it keep out man, just Gods because he knew that the Amazon’s could defeat them. But some of the Amazon fell due to these men, including the warrior Antiope.

The other being if Wonder Woman was this powerful, to where she could kill a God, why did she not kill Doomsday. Diana is a god herself she should have easily been able to kill Doomsday especially after years of practicing her powers in the world of man.



So it has some hole in the story, but overall it was a good movie. I am excited to see Justice League now (and a little bit nervous), but DC’s finally made good movie.

Getting into Radio

Image
As we continue to talk about entertainment and all variations of this I think there is one that I have been leaving out. Recently I have been working with a with a public radio station and it has been eye opening to the entire platform.  A lot of people think that radio is just the local music channel you listen to. This channel play music and commercials and might talk every once in a while. While that is a type of radio that is not all radio is.  Public radio is news and interesting stories that you can listen to. They have everything that happening now all around the country and internationally. They also have interesting stories about prisons, ticks and convicts. Its like Facebook to your ears.  The process of public radio is also very hard, but also very cool. As an intern I do stories that air in a special segment. Though this is only one type journalism it works about the same way. You find a story, you go after the story, you get the story and you broad

Wonder Woman and Feminism

Image
With the recent release of the Wonder Woman movie, I only find it right to give a reason of why this is such a big deal.  Wonder Woman was created as a figure of the feminist move and has been fight for a spot on the big screen for years. She has been in comic since 1942 and this her only film on the big screen. As the figure of Feminism Wonder Woman has been through her ups and down in a world of men. Her outfit, origin, powers and equipment have all gone through changes because of this. Censorship and sexism is the only way to put it when talking about why this has happened.  Through the years some things have stayed the same for the most part. She is borne of the Amazon Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons. She was raised on Paradise Island and only left when her love interest Steve Trevor and learned of the unforgiving world that we live in. She is Princess Diana of Themyscira, but goes by the alias Diana Prince.  Though she has been in many animated movies and

How To Get Start With Comics

As I continue to talk about comics and what is happening with the in the entertainment with them, I thought it would nice to help those of you who are just getting in to comics. In this post I will tell you my way of getting into comics.  1. First you want to pick a direct character.  Whether is be the Flash or Iron Man you need to pick a place of jumping into these stories. Most of the stories are intertwined with other characters and groups like Justice League and Avengers. Even though this may not be the only character you want to follow, its good to find a starting place because these stories have a lot of twist and turns. These comics have also been going on for a very long time and have changed with the times. So your character might have different people that take the name and you need to be specific on what or who you want to follow. So for Flash you have to pick between Jay Garrick, Barry Allen and Wally West to pick which The Flash you want to follow. Some peop
