I'm trying not to watch the new trailers popping up for Wonder Woman. If my expectations are low and most of the movie is a surprise, then maybe I'll enjoy it more. Fingers crossed.

True buns of steel. DC is not really promoting this film as much as I thought they would.

Considering there's only 3 weeks until this is out, they should have her all over the place by now. I'm actually shocked at DC's restraint with what advertising they've done in terms of content. They haven't shown the true villain yet in trailers as far as I know so maybe they learned from BvS. I'm afraid Wonder Woman will be a good film that will get my hopes up for DC films then all that will be ruined again with Justice League.

They're not pushing merchandise for her either, which is surprising considering how much stuff you see from every other comic book movie. Unless you count this I suppose
That will be categorized as fat shaming

My wife used to eat those. They're pretty good.

That's what I though when I saw it. How are women not pissed about that advertising?
I still can't grasp them freaking out over her shaved pits...

That's ****ing ridiculous. I don't care if she shaves her armpits or not as long as they make a good ****ing movie. I guess I should have thrown a fit and caused a commotion when Superman didn't end up having the "S" curl in his hair. Little did I know that that was the least disrespectful thing they would do to the character in the new films.

I think all this "body shaming" bull**** will eventually lead us to the world of Wall-E. I don't think you should be cruel. I think that's something any decent human being should know better than to do, nor do I think the beauty standards young girls should be "told" they should aspire to be like are whatever chainsmoking model with an eating disorder happens to be wearing a dress made out of bubble wrap and a ******* peacock on her head in the latest issue of Vogue, but, at the same time, all this "body shaming" stuff? We act like, as a society, we're so much smarter than previous generations, and, to my mind, it all stems from our own ego. We don't want to acknowledge our flaws, and as someone who has been overweight, and who still is overweight, albeit a hell of a lot less than previously, it is a flaw.
Same deal with correcting their kids. People have been doing that for, probably, the whole of human history, and while I'm not condoning using your progeny as a ****ing punching bag, parents today act like they're so much more knowledgeable than those who came before, and they know nothing. I don't have kids, but I've been around family members who let their kids do whatever the **** they want, and it's a pitiful display. I think back to Alfred's speech in The Dark Knight, and, to my mind, he's basically making the case for why children are irrational ***holes and why they need a guiding hand; "some men aren't looking for anything logical; they can't be bought, bullied, or reasoned with; some men just want to watch the world burn."
But yeah, back to the "body shaming" bull****. No, I don't care if you're a man, a woman, or a child, if you have a problem, don't be so ******* obtuse that you'll flush yourself down the drain just because you don't want to admit to it. At what point will we, as a society, leave doctors feeling they're unable to lay it out on the table for patients that they have high cholesterol, are obese, having respiratory problems, and heart palpitations because doing so would be "shaming them" and they should "feel comfortable in their body." It could also be lifesaving advice, but, hell, I don't know. Generally, I'm a very progressive person, but I feel like there's a limit to it. Like I said, I don't believe anyone should be "shamed" for losing weight, and I can acknowledge that there are situations where people can't lose weight, but to my mind this whole "fat acceptance" movement is ludicrous. Being told that the fat is just a part of who we are, to my mind, is akin to telling a cancer patient that that Tumor is nothing to be ashamed of and that "it's a part of you." "Sure, it may be killing you, but it's beautiful! You go girl! Rock that 30 pound growth coming out of your side!" When the leading cause of death in America is heart disease and when we, as a society, decide it's okay to tell people that what may be killing them is a part of who they are, that's when you know the world has gone down the ****ing pipes.
