Opinion | Sam Thielman: Why movies like 'Wonder Woman 1984' don't have to be great to be a success - NBCNewsTHINK

Dec. 30, 2020, 10:57 PM UTCSome superheroes, like the titular heroine of “Wonder Woman: 1984,” are unapologetically styled on gods — and according to a popular school of thought, all superheroes, in one way or another, are our contemporary deities, as comics writer Grant Morrison declared in his book “Supergods.

If you read superhero comics today, you’ll find a lot of ink dedicated to the awe inspired by the versions of our best selves in capes and costumes. But if you like to watch movies — or if you read nonsuperhero comics — you might be forgiven for regarding costumed do-gooders less as deities and more as corporate overmen forcibly changing the way we consume entertainment, whether we like it or not.

THINK 'We put the literal rape of a man on screen and no one liked our movie. So here's why that's ok' Fixed the title.

THINK Awful movie

THINK 😂😂😂😂 so because the feminazi brigade had their deity flop, now it doesn't have to be a success. But if it was a hit, it would be in the running for the fucking Oscars. What a joke.

THINK Stop with this crap. Just tell the truth. The movie is awful.

THINK Female empowerment pap

THINK It would just be better if it was actually good. Why is this asking too much? 🤷‍♂️

THINK Well, that’s for sure. That movie is just awful.

THINK Preaching for mediocrity wow what has our society become. Makes sense when you a tabloid news garbage outlet that covers things that no one cares about

THINK I like the soundtrack.

THINK Bunch of nonsense.... What happened to the first one... Im a guy and it was dope...

THINK I never watch

THINK let's just cut it out with the fucking superhero thing, every year it's been the most populated genre of 'TV Shows' and of Movies released to theaters. This need to franchise make everything into a series is killing if not killed creativity in the industry.

THINK Apology tour 2021!

THINK Tell that to the investors lmao

THINK This one is not how i expect it

THINK Same formula that joker used
