This poor super hero is plagued. How many years has the Wonder Woman idea been on the back burner?
Well, I guess it's going to stay there for a few more.

I actually pretty well dig it too, I'm just saying that they should've figured there'd be significant backlash given how it went over with most people.FangShadow said:
I suspect the TV execs took one look and thought, "so whats the non male half of the TV audience going to be watching while this is on? Ah, the other side". If this had got the green light, then you could probably have expected another series of "Baywatch (now with added thong)" to air as well.
Ah that is true. I remember when it came out I was on some other forums and people were not pleased.NickCaligo42 said:

That's like saying you have too much cotton candy or mileage in your paradoxically ultra fuel-efficient Hummer. It just doesn't make sense.standokan said:
That said, I had no idea Lord Voldemort was a fan of DC comics, much less one with backstage access.
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like she's wearing a cheap halloween costume? Wonder Woman is an Amazonian Warrior goddess. I know the show went a different direction but jeez the phantom costume was better
Looks like internet video series is the only place where this series will see the light of day. Honestly, I love Wonder Woman, but this actress just doesn't do it for me. I don't know what it is, but I know it's not the costume. Well, not only.
But I think this is the problem with many super-hero outfits, they just don't translate to the real world as well as they do on ink. Just look at the X-men. Many of the X-men outfits would have been terrible in the movies, such as [insert male X-man] in a skin tight suit.
Why did you remind me of Billy Zane in a skin tight purple suit?Lono Shrugged said:

Look, here's my problem with all of this. There was a successful Wonder Woman TV series. It starred Linda Carter in a Wonder Woman outfit.
Now, I know, that was way back in my childhood, and many of the people they were hoping to watch this weren't even born. But, it's been done. Successfully.
Although, frankly, I think I'd much rather they brought back the Tick. Dammit, why'd they have to cancel the Tick!

"I can't help but wonder what would've happened if Kelley and his crew had released some promo photos of Adrianne Palicki in the classic outfit instead of the ones that were shown off to the public. I'm not exactly wild about it, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it wouldn't have been as widely-reviled as the retconned costume was."
While I didn't like the costume, it isn't what would have made me not watch the show. What made me not want to watch the show was that awful script for the pilot.

People said the same thing about Thor, that the character is too preposterous to work. Well, it seems to have worked wonders on a lot of people.Casual Shinji said:
I admit visually and thematically Wonder Woman really needs a work over for modern viewers though. Aside from being author appeal for bondage and other stuff, she was created as a feminist answer to Superman and during the times of the suffragette movement it was socially relevant.
Now however, that level of overt oppression really only exists in third world countries like Africa and most of the Middle East. While I personally would enjoy seeing Wonder Woman drop kick members of the Radical Islamic caliphate into the Black Sea, capping it off by using the Ayatollah as a make-shift Olympic hammer throw, it would be really tacky.
Of all the heroes in DC's stables, she deserves a good re-imagining most of all.
[a href="http://thecinemasnob.com/2011/05/16/dvd-r-hell-heil-honey-im-home.aspx"]Heil Honey, I'm Home[/a] (literally a sitcom about Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun) got to air a pilot before being cancelled and this show didn't even make it that far.
That says quite a lot.
