WONDER WOMAN Spinoff Rumored To Be In Development Revolving Around The Amazons Of Themyscira

WB/DC and spinoffs... A better love story than Twilight.

I prefer a Show for HBO Max. Something with gods and Diana's creation. A fantastic prequel.

Don't @ me cause I'm not a Marvel or DC fanboy but another classic moment of LOLDC.

I much rather see an Amazon vs Atlantean movie. Now that would be amazing in my eyes

1: Between this and the Trench, WB have firmly planted their flag as the amalgamation of 2012 Fox and 2015 Sony. Their 3 gears seem to be "do whatever a big star/director says they'll attach themselves to" or "milk our most clearly marketable characters dry" or "do whatever spinoff/sequel we can to whatever worked the last time". It's hard to imagine how you end up their when previous failures are so easily diagnosed and they still have a huge catalog of untapped and easily adaptable characters.

#2: The Amazons have gotten pretty washed in just 2 DCEU appearances, getting thrashed by Steppenwolf and somehow sufferring significant casualties on their own turf against some random soldiers who had no idea where they were. Their accents have been screwed up so that Gadot didn't seem out of place, and we already lost probably the most interesting one in that beach battle. I don't even know what the appeal of this would be other than capitalizing on WW's goodwill

#3: That said, I get it. It's hard to remember but Joker aside, this was a pretty abysmal year for WB, especially in the tentpole arena. The Godzilla/Kong universe isn't catching on, Fantastic Beasts has already started running out of gas, Detective Pikachu wasn't the box office breaker we thought and The Lego movies aren't taking off like anyone expected they would. They kinda have to just keep driving the CBM output forward at this point because they're running out of other franchise foundations to build off of

This is how the mind of a WB exec works. Instead of looking at WHY the movie did well and replicating that in other movies, they only know how to follow the WHAT. Ah, WW did well and Amazons were a big hit. We should make a movie about those! No. You should make other movies about different heroes with a similar approach - sticking to canon and paying attention to character and detail.

Where does the blame lie? ATT, WB, DC, some other entity? I mean who’s name needs to be featured in a twitter campaign to get them fired.

New flash, the fans are the base of their monetary income streams with these types of movies. Fans brings friends and family and general audience somewhat stems from all that potential word of mouth.

Point being fans do have pull if and when they can show overwhelming solidarity. The Snyder cut movement hasn’t gained traction bc it’s not overwhelming although there is a very sold base in favor.

#Fire the moron who’s wasting the potential of the DC universe. One too many bad decisions. At some point a line needs to be drawn.

I’m not against an Amazons movie, it’s sounds badass. But there are way too many other important characters that demand the spotlight. And until we make sure they understand that, we can forget about ever seeing the epicness of DC done right.

I wrote one 5 years ago.

Hippolyta was the main character and she goes through some intense inner conflict. It's not all pretty.

It tells the story of both the ancient Amazons and Atlanteans. They are essentially the same Empire. Atlantis was originally barbaric (the Robert E. Howard-style Atlantean) until Myrina, Queen of the Amazons conquered them and then used Atlantis as a perfectly positioned super-power to then conquer all nations.

Centuries later, Hippolyta goes to war freeing the Amazon pureblood priestesses from their own fvcked up system (involving human sacrifices) after the sacrifice of her own daughter.

It's quite the epic, involving the fall of Atlantis and founding of New Themyscira (Paradise Island) and revealing the golden apples and fountains of youth that give Amazons their strength and power (before this time they weren't immortal).

It ends with the molding of baby Diana out of clay.

I called it 'Hippolyta - or the Recompensation for the Sacrifice of Artemis' (Artemis was my version of Diana. I restored the original Greek names, like Perez did with Ares et al).

Also, very pretentious name and it moves like a big, bloody epic. When you're writing for yourself, you get to write it exactly how you want. It was violent and operatic and poetic, not so commercial.

But maybe I should sell them it anyway, they might be able to use some stuff from it. It was pretty good.
