Hello Friends,
Wonder Woman 1984 was an entertaining movie and worth seeing. However, the story of Wonder Woman defeating crazed, arch villain, ego-maniac, Max Lord who’s trying to take over the world and his cheetah woman ally, Barbara Minerva, didn’t captivate me as much as I wanted it too.
There had to be reasons why I didn’t enjoy the narrative as much as the origin story in the first Wonder Woman movie. I like reading about history, and particularly mysteries. The filmmaking showing the mythological roots of Wonder Woman being an Amazon of Themyscira, living on Paradise Island was fantastic.
If you’d like to
listen to some mood music, the soundtrack from Amazons of Themyscira plays in
the video below.
In Wonder Woman 1984, the scene of the Amazons of Themyscira competing in a marathon was also enthralling. So why wasn’t I as interested in the rest of the movie? I found the answer I was looking for in the history of Wonder Woman.
In 1941, Wonder Woman first appeared in comic books. According to the DC fandom wiki, Wonder Woman has been in comic books ever since 1941, except for four months in 2006. She has an 80-year-old history and at least hundreds of comics and stories.
In December 2020, for the second time, the comic book heroine was brought to life in a movie. Wonder Woman 1984 is a legacy movie from the comics. A movie for the fandom who know and like her stories, and that’s all right.
Take care,
stay well,

The Amazons from the island of
Themyscira change into Bikini Babe Warriors for the Justice League movie.
Ares, Wonder Woman and Xena, had
their beginnings in classical mythology.
Another special feature of the Wonder Woman movie was the Native American Chief.

Sword in the Dress had it’s fashion moment on social media as women and girls tried having a sword at the ready for themselves.
I recently visited the twitter world
and came across the interesting topic of, “From Princess to General”. The theme
features two actresses (so far).
Months before the film was
released, the Wonder Woman movie trailer and posters captured the
imagination of fans.
Last weekend, Wonder Woman from
the 70 year old comic book stories sprinted onto the movie screen with her
god-slaying sword, and gauntlets (wristbands) made from the Greek Goddess’s
Athena’s shield. Woo-hoo!
