1/6 Hot Toys BvS: Dawn of Justice-Wonder Woman

Warts & all, I like the DCEU. That being said...that tornado scene is just plain stupid. I liked Costner as Jonathan Kent, but the writing of that character was downright laughable.

I find the scene where Rhodey gets shot down laughable – IM tells Vision to shoot Falcon... I guy with only a set of wings... so he didn't mind him plummetting to his death, but when Vision misses and hits War Machine (a guy in protective, super duper armour) instead, it's suddenly terrible... you told him to take the shot!!!

totally agree with this. A lot of Civil War makes no sense to me and is pretty laughable as a whole.

that is so stupid but hey it's MCU- it all gets a pass so they can rag on BvS

:good post: seems to always be the case

For my personal taste, I prefer the tone of the DCEU films than the MCU.

I personally liked the tornado scene in MoS. I can understand where people are coming from when they say Superman would never let his father die, which on the surface is true, but I think the psychology behind the scene does make sense when you go beyond the surface. The way I saw it was Clark was not "Superman" at that point, or at any point in MoS really. During the tornado scene, he was simply 17 year old Clark Kent who was unsure of who he was. However, the fact that he chose to save his classmates in the school bus and actually was about to run out to save Jonathan, demonstrated his natural inclination to want to help others. Clark didn't "let" Jonathan die, Jonathan made a choice and a sacrifice. Not to mention by the way we don't know at this point how developed Clark's abilities were and if he was even aware of what he could do to his full potential.

Would Superman have saved him anyway? Absolutely, and mostly because at that point he would have already been revealed to the world. But to a 17 year old Clark who was unsure of who he was and with his father giving him a firm "no", after him already having explained the ramifications of revealing himself and why he was trying to protect him, made sense to me from a psychological sense. Even a 35 year old (presumably, since BvS took place two years after MoS where he stated he was 33) Superman in BvS was having trouble dealing with the ramifications of him revealing himself; imagine how a 17 year old would (or wouldn't) be able to handle it.

totally agree here

Dude if you can make leaps in logic like that then things that happen in civil war is real easy to excuse.

Yes! In Kill Bill, Tarantino gets a lot of credit for that Clark Kent v. Superman speech, but what I think MoS got right was that it isn't Clark v. Superman so much as it is Clark + Kal-El = Superman, and it takes time to get there and balance that equation. An orphan of one world, an adopted son of another, he chooses to make himself into Superman. I thought it was great.

Marvel and DC are different so it's not fair to compare them imo. Marvel movies are supposed to be fun and lighthearted, all with an inspirational undertone, while DC is more dark and gritty. Both studios are different, and that's why I love them. They both shouldn't do the same thing imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know right? I like variety. Can't have all blondes, need a brunette and a redhead too.

My sentiments as well.

I don't feel the need to compare and contrast each one. For my personal taste, I prefer the tone of the DCEU. Does that mean I think the MCU sucks? Absolutely not. I just watch the films and allow myself to be entertained by the characters I like. I don't feel the need to vet each film and see just how many flaws I can find with each one and then compare which ones have the lesser amount of things "wrong" with them.

But it has the opposite shoulder belt as portrayed in posters...

 

[nikgrid]

I guess end of the day.
If you are happy with the headsculpt, try get it. (If it's within your financial means)
If you are not happy with the HS, don't force yourself to get it. ( you may if you have too much money).


Just a hobby, I am sure many collectors here admire their priced collection themselves more than for showing off to others..

I see more Morena Baccarin than Gal in that sculpt but it does look better than the previous sculpt.

 

[**16k**]

True that!

Oh, never mind, Morena Baccarin is way hotter!

Nice looking sculpt. Difference in skin tone between the sculpt and body is pretty discernible though.
