If you read the headline and teaser, you know this is not a for or against Gal's casting as Wonder Woman article. I will admit, I'm not against her casting and that I'm willing to give her a chance, but none of that is the reason why this editorial exist.
1. Gal is too skinny, slim, anorexic, etc.
First, Gal is not anorexic; look up real anorexic people before calling her that. Second, yes she is skinny/slim/thin but that doesn't mean she won't be hitting a gym. I'm an amateur and I know how to build muscle in half the time of a traditional workout session. I'm quite sure a professional trainer knows more than me, and could probably have Gal ready before they start shooting in two months. Also, just because they are shooting in two months doesn't mean they are necessarily are shooting Gal's scenes then.
2. She doesn't have blue eyes.
This the second most common complaint I've seen, and one of the most idiotic ones. We are in the 21th century, and guess what, we have contacts that can change your eye's color. The special effects department could change Gal's eye color digitally. Now say that they don't decide to change her eye colors, well it's not that big of a deal. Before you burn down my house, look back to The Dark Knight trilogy; if you could forgive, how they pronounced Ra's name, how they made Ra's a white man, how the joker wore white make-up instead of being bleached, how Bane didn't use venom, how small Bane was, how poor Batman's fighting skills were, etc. Then the simple change of color of Wonder Woman's eyes, won't kill you.
3. Jamie Alexander looks the part better.
These are the complaints from those fooled by how Jamie looked in her Sif outfit. The bulky-ness of the outfit is what made her look like she was actually fit like a warrior, but she's not. Take a stroll over to Google, and well google her. Jamie is just as skinny as Gal.
4. Breast are too small.
First, I couldn't give less of a f@ck if Wonder Woman turned out to be flat chested, but since this is a problem for some, I'll show you why it could be easily fixed. Another thing, Gal's breast aren't really that small. All lot of photos people use to point out how she has small breast, she doesn't wear a bra in; in case you didn't know, when women do not wear bras, this weird thing happens, gravity(maybe you heard of it) pulls them down, flattening them, making them look less round. I've seen photos of her in a bra, which gives here the C-cup look, which is not "too small." I've recently graduate high school so my memory of it, is still fresh, but I will ask you to remember back to your high school days. You're in class, a girl walks in, and you notice that her breast looks large, but the next day they look average, or maybe even small. The point I'm getting at, is that there are ways to make people's breast look Bigger or smaller, so to those crying over the fact that Gal doesn't have those comicbook basket ball boobs, you so desperately want, remember with a little movie magic, she could.
5. She can't act.
There is not much I can say about Gal's acting because I've only seen her in the Fast franchise. I've heard she's only made six debuts in both the big and small screen, so this means I've seen three of them. I like the Fast franchise, but one thing I will admit is that it's not due to the acting, which I find the acting from most of the actors to be mediocre. The thing is, I'm pretty sure while making these films, the director, writers, producers, etc. know people didn't come to see Oscar worthy acting performances from the cast, but to see top-notch action and racing. If they know this, their efforts won't be on writing the characters well, or directing them well, so I can't say the mediocre performance we got from Gal in the Fast franchise was due to her own acting skills, poor direction, poor writing, or a combination of two or all three of them. We would need to see her actual performance as Wonder Woman, while knowing she was written well, and directed well, before we can say, she truly cannot act(which we know she can act, we just don't know how well).
Being for or against Gal Gadot's casting as Wonder Woman is your choice and opinion, but when giving reasons for or against the casting, the reasoning must be able to hold. So tell me, did any of these reasons hold up for you, if so let me know.
