dcu: Fact. this is why brett is awesome. and correct.

Who said that, exactly? Because I’m pretty sure it wasn’t DC. http://comicsbeat.com/the-problem-with-wonder-woman-and-the-solution-melissa-mccarthy/

Even Joss Whedon struggled with Wondy. Marvel’s spent a half-dozen movies building up cred for them to do stuff like GotG. If it had been the first Marvel movie out, it certainly wouldn’t do as well as it probably will.

Also, there’s the “Norse mythology worked for Thor” thing. Thing is, Thor was based around Shakespearean themes of family and responsibility. You could transplant the basic story to pretty much anywhere. It was character-driven, not setting-driven. Wonder Woman is pretty much defined by the setting.

DC clearly wants a Wondy movie. Even if they say it’s too complicated, that doesn’t mean they won’t do it, that just means they’re struggling with it. We saw what happened when they half-measured Green Lantern and the TV series. I don’t blame them for being chary about wasting a gajillion dollars on a failure…again.
