If my coworker talked to me about being socially awkward and then asked if I've ever been in love, I would hardcore think they were totally into me.
Amateur bad writer:"Have you ever been in love?" Legendary bad writer: "Anyway hows your sex life?"
"It's true, I don't get out much socially. " "What – not even a boyfriend?" There. Dialogue fixed.
The fact that they didn’t even attempt the basic human exchange “You’re very pretty” “No I’m not” “No really, Im sure if you styled your hair, a bit of makeup. You’d get a boyfriend no problem” “You think?” “Absolutely” “So what about you? How’d you meet your boyfriend” “Oh… um… No I don’t have one… well I did but… ” “What? Who would break up with you? “No. It wasn’t a breakup” “…Oh my God im so sorry” “No No don’t worry… it was a long time ago” Like… that is NOT great dialogue. I wrote it in 5 minutes. But it’s at least a dialogue.
"What about character motivation?" "We'll fix it in post." BEST FILMMAKING JOKE EVER!!
The message that it's okay to have a love affair with a stranger's unconscious body is a phenomenally poor writing choice
"the most toxic moral ever" 13 reasons why peeking around the corner soflty whispering " hey psst if you kill yourself you get everything you ever wanted"
If you realize that the protagonist is using the body of her love interest for her own sexual and romantic desires without his consent, this turns from a superhero movie to a dark bleak horror real quick.
She clearly had no idea how to portray someone accidentally turning themselves into a cat. Its definitely not like that, and I think a certain lawyer on Zoom can attest to that.
Biggest example of "unintentionally harmful" entertainment: Thirteen Reasons Why. It's basically a suicidal teenagers fantasy of how things will play out after they kill themselves.
I genuinely thought that the moral of this movie was to give up on your dreams
1:18:00 To say “this is the kind of thing that you would expect to see written by like a fifteen year old” is an insult to fifteen year writers
Why was no one talking about how this poor random man’s life was taken from him by a ghost, and Diana was willing to make it permanent. She didn't have a second thought about it. They didn't even gloss over this.
when you pointed out Barbara saying "have you ever been in love" my head immediately jumped to "anyway how's your sex life" in The Room
It’s so stupid that they didn’t consider that even one person might have wished for the world to end or something. As soon as the whole wish granting thing happened, it’s highly probable that the world would have just ended
This movie broke me mentally and emotionally. Not just because of all the reasons you mentioned here and more, but because the first Wonder Woman movie is arguably the most enjoyable and downright earnest superhero movie I had seen since Raimi's first Spidey film. It blew me away and immediately shot up to the top 5 of my all-time favorite superhero movies of all time. I felt inspired to be a better person after leaving the theater. Then '84 happened and holy fuck.
Honestly that "have you ever been in love" moment could have been completely fixed if they'd just had an awkward pause. They run out of things to talk about, they both kinda glance around, then Barbara asks a question she thinks will kind of restart the conversation. Literally nothing in the script changes, and you add like 6 seconds to the runtime.
