Geekshow's Scott Carelli reviews the new Wonder Woman pilot... WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS

Review Opinion

Geekshow has posted an interview with someone who has seen the new Wonder Woman pilot episode.


The interview begins with a non-spoiler review of the pilot before moving on to SPOILER heavy discussions.


You can listen to the interview/review HERE
but I have outlined some of the key points below:


  • The pilot features 2 costumes; the one seen in the set pictures with cloth like pants and red boots, and the classic "bathing suit" which is described as looking the better of the two by a million miles. The costume she ends the pilot wearing is the classic "bathing suit" costume. The one that was first shown in Entertainment Weekly, with the blue boots and shiny pants, does not appear in the pilot.

  • Despite some cheesy dialogue most of the actors are described as good, especially Adrianne Palicki (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman) and Tracie Thoms (Etta). However Justin Bruening (Steve Trevor) is described as "awful", lacking charisma and he even suggests recasting or scrapping the character altogether.

  • The action is described as over the top with a needless amount of violence, with Wonder Woman killing people and using her Lasso of Truth as a whip.

  • The script and dialogue is described as overly cheesy, with Wonder Woman even saying "tits".

  • Despite the pilot's flaws the reviewer says if this was the first episode of a T.V series he would tune in for the next episode, BUT only if the script showed improvements, as it currently "feels like a David E. Kelly show" and not a Wonder Woman show




So to summarise; the pilot is "really really average", Adrianne Palicki and Tracie Thoms are great as Wonder Woman and Etta respectively, and Justin Bruening as Steve Trevor is "awful".

Thats just a few of the points I have picked out, the whole audio is over 30 mins long, so if you have a vested interest in the Wonder Woman pilot then listen to it HERE

@EditNinja - there is more detailed info in the actual audio itself, but these are the things that grabbed me

@everyone else, remember guys this is a pilot, ALOT of show's pilots pale in comparison to the finished show, so hopefully this only gets better

I can't believe WW would kill people in a David E Kelley production...sounds a bit iffy this report!

@m73 go listen to it, the guy speaks about it for half an hour with detailed information and without contradicting himself once

I'm just not interested in this version of Wonder Woman. Her using the lasso as a whip sounds obvious and rather cheesy, in my opinion, as does the obvious need to "sexualize" the character and violence in just a crass, thematically simpleminded way. Even without the pants, the costume reminds me of a porno version of Wonder Woman's outfit, cheaply designed and executed.

Also, despite some decent buzz, Palicki doesn't meet my mental image of Wonder Woman. She doesn't have the facial structure and look that I associate with the character...

"needless amount of violence, with Wonder Woman killing people and using her Lasso of Truth as a whip."?

I am there, the show may end up sucking but this bit alone has piqued my interest

For now it only look okay with potential to improve. Sounds good. I'll be givin this a try of at least 3 episodes since it's based on a comic book superhero.

here's a bright idea, SHOW US THE PILOT lol you know, the fans who will ultimately decide its future.

Aside from a few downs tho, the show sounds like its worth watching..........correction, the "PILOT" sounds like its worth watching.

Justin Bruening being said to be awful is no shock whatsoever........3 words......Knight Rider Reboot...........nuff said :P

I agree with others post saying that she doesn't fit the image of Wonder Woman. Big, round, small...whatever, WW's breasts should be all natural. (thanks Linda Carter!!) And for those saying it will fail like Smallville, without even seeing the pilot, could it and will it last 10 seasons? I hope so but...

Needless violence? Sounds like Anti-Smallville. I'm in!! Love Smallville but the lack of action is disappointing at times.

SWEET. I knew they were going to have to load it with violence! How can you take someone in that costume seriously, unless they are absolutely kicking @$$?

I think the show is already worse than this review describes.

Adrianne Palicki was a bad choice for the character. She has no charisma to play Diana - just watch her on Smallville and on that fail Aquaman show.

And everything from the show that came to surface was terrible.

Must be canceled, urgently!

@marvel72 - Agree with you 100%, I'm marvel biased but I love those DC stuff you listed. But where are Begins and TDK there?

@ aklashpahk

i think they're good,but i don't think they're as great as everyone else thinks.

i'll add them.

Cool. I'll give the pilot a look if that's all that is wrong with it. It's a t.v. show not a glorified movie.

@marvel72
you can't put stuff on what you like or don't like if you haven't seen them yet.

Where's Swamp Thing? LOL

Batman Begins & TDK good but not great please with that lame ass shit.
