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
