wonder

woman

search while you can I'll serve yes gobble gobble hello patty Spike Lee I see you got the gremlins two claws gremlins two claws the claws that says you can do whatever you want without interference from studio james cameron What is all this?

Isn't it obvious that we are inviting you to the league of directors of justice? Do you call her that because you always defend justice? No, because it's just us, the crazy directors. I don't follow Patty. Have you ever wondered what would happen if everyone said yes, if no one disagrees with you, but it's not compromise or workarounds that makes great art go to hell with compromise. I've never compromised a day in my life and sometimes that results in good movies, when Batman was a big hit they let me do it. I did what I wanted in the sequel and everyone really saw it.

I've been unmoored for so long that I turned a 90s psa into science fan fiction and people still remember talking about it. I basically made the phantom threat three times and no one. I stopped any of them amazing so what you're telling me is drive me crazy crazy pat crazy bananas whatever art you've thought of use it when a voice in your head says it's a bad idea silence it you're an artist, patty and part of being. an artist is getting drunk on your own weirdness, why waste this great opportunity doing something normal? Well maybe Wonder Woman can turn things invisible out of thin air, that's it and the whole world gets wishes, yeah they abandon them in seconds, now you're talking and and a man's body is possessed and used as a sex doll .

I will do that. This might be my only time to go completely crazy. So goodbye, God, I'm going to go completely crazy. That's the ticket. What's that? Oh, we have to take this. Hey. Guys, I wanted to talk more about my Snyder cut oh uh, we can barely hear you, yeah, yeah, a bad connection on our part is like a glitch, no, it's okay, I'll try again another time, that guy is poisoned, will never be popular again, so Hi, I'm the

nostalgia

critic

. I remember it so you don't have to. At Christmas 2020, we were presented with one of the most anticipated sequels of the year Wonder Woman

1984

.

The continuation of the great

critic

al and box office success Wonder. woman, the people who hated it really hated it and the people who liked it liked it this is one of those movies that you either get into or you don't, it's very different from its more grounded and serious predecessor, in fact, in terms of tonally, it's more that I thought a movie about an Amazon with a golden lasso from a magical island would probably be ridiculous and silly, it makes little sense and God help me, I love it for that, I can't help it, I'm fascinated by the movies that I never said no to anything and even being a disaster, there are a handful of things that really work.

Now the question is why would you want just a handful of things that work when more than most of the things worked last? one because, christ, it's so entertaining when I first saw it. I remember being bored in some parts, but watching it again with the mentality of just giving in to the madness, it's actually quite fun, the constant questions of ethics and logic originally hurt the movie for me, but now those same unanswered questions make me They make you enjoy it on a completely different level. Does that make it good or bad? It's something completely different and we'll see it here today, so prepare for a lot of unanswered questions.

This is the Owellian Wonder Woman

1984

. Oh there's that VCR type font, we're definitely ready for an 80's style fantasy island, okay yeah, unless these two are there, that doesn't match, we see the young girl Diana participating in the games that Therma hasn't yet. I'm going to say it right, it's kind of like American gladiators meet the zone of discovery. A lot of people thought this went on too long, but I think because the effects are so much better than the last movie and the stunts are really good, I don't know. like seeing what this island considers a difficult challenge and here they are Sylvia Braun and Joni Edwards Sylvia is a psychic and crossing dog oh it's not even close yeah for this psychic crossing guard there should have been a sign right?

You know things are going wrong, though when Diana falls she gets off her horse and doesn't click her sign, she finds a shortcut and almost wins, but she is disqualified because she didn't follow the rules. Hooray, you beat a girl on a technicality, she still feels like a loss. No true hero is born from lies. romantic comedy ever disagree with you you're not a real advertising executive I'll still marry you real relationship problems look at the golden warriors she didn't become a legend in a hurry she did it through real acts well yes she's a legend implies there was some lie involved legend hello you will become everything you dream of and more and the courage to face the truth in fact all you need is courage to face the truth 20 years later well she has countless people to talk about lie to her, as she also continues to lie about her secret identity.

Well, I for one am glad that we finally got to see what Sam Raimi had in mind for Spider-Man 4, but wasn't this a Wonder Woman movie? I'll give this to the movie. makes it very clear from the beginning what awaits you in that aggressive and brave world that expects a hero to walk on a battlefield that gives you chills with his bravery is not here now, everyone is a caricature, an uncomfortable caricature, I feel that this bumper is going. alright with that you're watching Disney Channel sorry ok remember when he cut off a guy's head in the Snyder cut, there are a lot of dead people, who exactly even stopped this crime, a mysterious savior, over half a dozen similar sightings .

I'm Jimmy Click and tell me I don't belong in this movie, yeah, to put it bluntly, if you don't agree with anything you've seen in these first 10 minutes because they took it up the ass, man, oh and I hope you did enjoyed that scene of Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman saving the day because we literally don't see that for another hour. Yeah, she doesn't put on that outfit and fight crime for the equivalent of three episodes of Young Sheldon. cn1 shirt service, but fear. Now we have other walking animated clichés to entertain you. Rare animal print like electro nigma kyle played by kristen wiig.

She's an over-the-top nerd on the verge of becoming a villain. She even drops the papers out of her briefcase. I know I walked a lot. Sorry, they wrote to me. rushed, most of his performance is the usual Kristen Wiig stuttering shtick and again, you're either a fan of him or not, I personally think it's okay, sorry, it's her heels, you know, I'm just stupid, no I know why I was. I'm going to wear heels. Scientists don't wear heels. I thought she was a bit of an odd choice to play a super villain, but she goes from clumsy to competent to bitter to vengeful with surprising smoothness.

It's a shame it looks like a soggy coloring book. The movie Cats, but we'll get to that in a moment. She works with Diana restoring ancient artifacts. Are they making Dr. Octopus? What is that thing? What is it? I think the technical term here is extremely silly, meaning literally rotten tomato. Score, they didn't even bother with a percentage in this place on the object held, but a great wisher stumbles upon an artifact known as the wishing stone that grants a wish when you hold it, although most people don't realize It counts when they do it. Thanks for talking to me, you know we could go to dinner early, really, I know another Wonder Woman movie that starts very similar to this one.

Wow, you're so funny, that was a totally real conversation we just had. You are so nice, so free. You envy me, that doesn't make any sense, oh my god, so even though everyone is delightfully out of place in this movie, there's something almost like a school play about it and I mean, in the best way, everyone acts like If they were in a movie that's so cool, oh Barbara, I'll pick one, hey, do you know I'm in the White House now? Yes, it's true, I can't explain it, there's something strangely innocent about her, although no one acts like a real person in this. they are passionate about how they act life is good but it can be better like pedro pascal like maxwell lord the guy acts like a wax model who just realized he magically came to life all you need is to love him he looks like he's behind the wishing stone, as it seems like his oil business is falling apart, this can be seen by the clever visual storytelling that the higher he goes, the less he has a concept that will follow him for most of the film, even his son he realizes. how much you seem to be constantly losing where is the pool dad, it's not finished yet buddy, Rome wasn't built in a day, no no, but it was sacked in a day.

Con. I'm not a scammer. The FTC receives an anonymous report. It sounds like you're doing great dad, meanwhile, Electro Kyle wishes she was more like Diana and now she's admired by everyone, but I still can't walk in heels. I'm just not that good in heels, little problem walking in those heels. I still do it. I don't get it while Diana shows up late to a perfume commercial and realizes her wish came true to wish her old love Steve Trevor played by Chris Pine mostly we'll get to that back to life Diana luckily it's Like a day hasn't passed, it seems like he's back but he's in someone else's body and this really is an 80's movie because they do whatever they want with this character's body and no one gives a no.

I like it, it's cool, but all I see is you, I think. Most people have talked about how disturbing it is that this random guy is being used as a shell for Chris Pine's soul without his knowledge or permission, but what I like most about this is that there is absolutely no reason to keep him in mind. the script, steve trevor could be He wanted to come back to life without possessing anyone and the story could continue exactly as written. There is no reason for this unconscious soul to be treated like a human inflatable doll with how on top of each other these two are.

Can you imagine him waking up after not being possessed? Well, why does my dick hurt? Well, that's happening. Max finds the wishing stone and unlike other movies where the wishes made are usually pretty silly, he is legit and has a good wish to make. I wish to be you, the stone of dreams itself, that's right, so every time someone knocks. him and wish for something to come true but something is always taken from them and he is in control of what is being taken of course I wish for that too then your wish will be granted and in return I will take all your actions and the total control of black gold is like a constant ponzi scheme i'm not even sure you have any idea how far it should go.

I think he is so used to getting more and more that in his mind it must constantly keep accumulating. an evil plan doesn't make much sense, but as a compulsion it makes too much sense, but enough of that clothing montage, we're having fun here, who would wear these parachute pants? Yeah, does everyone skydive? You're so much funnier when you're Trying Not To Be Funny, I guess you could say this fish out of water is also a call from an 80's movie, but wasn't this guy A soldier? Would he really be that dumb to react to everything he bought, going to space? 80s hairstyles, I get it's trash can, but suddenly it's like, oh yeah, superhero stuff and they find out the wishing stone is missing, fearing Max Lord is behind this.

They follow him to Cairo knowing that he will use his power for more evil, how are they going to do it? Get there, thank goodness, the Smithsonian keeps their planes fueled without security. You want to choose this engine. Here it goes. Nothing. What is this? The Simpsons with an idiot-proof air force. I feel like it would be harder for a WWI pilot to fly. these radars I can't explain now with lcs anywhere, well Diana, now of course Wonder Woman's famous invisible jet has to be in this, so what do they find? A top secret plane that can camouflage itself or summon one of the gods to lend him his powers? or something like that, no, she's just been practicing off camera to become invisible, kind of a hobby, she did it in a coffee cup, it was just a coffee cup and I lost it now.

I haven't read that many Wonder Woman comics and movies. doesn't help me with that, I don't know if wonder woman ever had thesepowers, but the way this movie presents it, I don't think they know that either, it's like Mr. Incredible suddenly says it's true, I forgot, my ass explodes. For a nice moment when they fly through a sky full of fireworks I want to hit hell, yeah, why is there a squirt knob in my butt?

Don't forget to check me out playing Kingdom Hearts on Fridays from six to nine on Twitch we have content six days a week hope to see you there so electronega kyle takes a trip down trash lane hey babe you're pretty slow sexy disappointed I can't think of a joke about a cheetah they call a cat and she meets a drunk I literally attacked her a few nights before still in a suit and still drunk how come I really want and don't want to know this guy's story ? Where are we going to do that with everyone mentioning Ghostbusters 2016?

Meanwhile in Cairo, Diana and Steve Spot Maxwell Lord is now armed with more security and tries to stop him, what's that noise? Oh yeah, the Wonder Woman thing, this is a Wonder Woman movie, yeah, in this two and a half hour long movie, this whole trip to Cairo, honestly, it could have been cut and he would have done it. . I didn't miss much, but screw it, it's the first time in an hour we see her Wonder Woman and the action is still very sweet, ladies and gentlemen, the most realistic reaction in the movie, you're getting yourself and all the others in serious danger.

Who wouldn't be scared to see this fall in front of them? He says: Am I on a game show? Does Cairo make game shows? Yeah, if he were a kid, he wouldn't recognize the trucks from her car in a damn tank on the highway, nor would she save. The children allow the villain to escape so she calls Cruella de Vil to meet with all the information she has about the wishing stone. You destroyed our people in a matter of months. Jerry Lawler. I knew it. All this desire. I don't think it's a Kaufman Joke. It seems that this stone has destroyed tons of civilizations and the only way to stop it is if people give up their wishes.

I'm not going to be a part of that, no, no, there has to be a better way, no, I was. terrible with single white women this is the closest i've ever come you're like the fifth bullseye i've ever been through max lore continues to trick people into making wishes which makes him lose his mind skull's performance here is really a lot of funny and legitimately uncomfortable at the same time, you can tell he's putting every part of himself into this performance. I need to find a way to touch a lot of people at the same time, that's something a rich and powerful guy would ask for for this movie.

I can't get enough, let's give his battle armor a story too. His name was Asteria. She was our best warrior. My people gave up all of her armor to make her a suit strong enough to take on the entire world. And if I may say, she looks. Pretty good for almost being 70 years old. Max Lord eventually meets with President Martin Reagan Sheen and tricks him into handing over his power and authority. He is also interested in their new satellite system that can broadcast to all the televisions in the world. It uses particle beam technology just like the star wars show and just like star wars it will find new ways to disappoint and disappoint us tinker with any technology that touches the particles you're sending are touching well I'm not a stone scientist wishes, but I think even the gods of magic that conjured all this would be like no, that's not at all how that works if I see that you are my eyes touching your visual presence this is not a Clinton interview touching is touching wonder woman He finds him and again tries to stop him.

However, his powers continue to weaken due to his desire. No, Steve, you can't use it. It's not his fault. We could have seen Chris Pine fight guns in the only movie that will ever be a possibility. I never thought he would say this wonder. woman in 1984 but I'm deducting weird points from you why I have bruises all over my body what happened to me this week I think everyone has pointed out that Trevor had the opportunity to wish this would all go away when he grabs lord and handcuffs him he even suggests it, does he? what do you want once?

Do you want to be a real boy? I have to wait. I guess you could argue that they would take something away from him, but the only other alternative is to kill the guy or have the entire world give up wanting him so what. are the chances of that happening oh that's right, this movie is fucking crazy. Sorry, I didn't mean to think logically. Electronigma Kyle stops them, though for fear of having his wish taken away again, these fight sequences are pretty cool, well, someone's doll was. Cheated on that push, you've always had everything, while people like me have had nothing, a job in a field, I like good salaries, an excellent education, people like me actually received a lot, but you're used to it to that, hey, look at that. she can walk in heels now the world starts going because of all the wishes made and you're sure this isn't Wonder Woman 2020, huh, someone who uses a space blanket to protect themselves, this is definitely 20 20.

You realize that to get her powers back, she has to give up her wish, give up Steve, and worse yet, allow that poor puppet of a human being to get her soul back, lies, theft that violates a person on countless levels, this really He's a superhero that the 80s would have, but at least we have this strange adr. I will always love you Diana, no matter where she is, that felt so tacked on at the last minute, it's like Joss Whedon took over directing, yeah there would have been more annoying dialogue if that was the case.

I will always love you, Diana, no matter where I am. like a brunch like what is a brunch diana gives up the desire she runs very funny her feet even touch the ground and she regains all of her powers oh and apparently she took flight why does she even need the justice league ? She will have all her powers in the In a matter of a week, she binds herself to lightning, which I have no idea how it works, but God, it's cool and Max Lord offers Elektronegama Kyle another wish to help him. I want to be the number one predator, that's really how we're doing this.

I mean no, I pretend to rub a magic eight ball and disappear, but it's still pretty weak, even when Diana walks up dressed as a golden chicken, the big cheetah reveal isn't even ridiculous, that's how bad it is, I can't even laugh of it. I don't know the backstory of this character, I know he started out with a cat costume which is very original, but check out these other designs, you can really have fun and go crazy with this, it looks like someone left scrap in milk soaked for too long for a movie. with so many colorful and great looking effects this bites in all the wrong ways barbara what did you do?

You must hold back your giggles, no, my wings, I won't be able to fly, wait, can I still do it or not? You know, because of the armor he apparently defended. The world is like breaking a Diet Coke. I don't know if they are fighting or recycling. So I'm very sorry. I must kill you. She electrocutes the predator. Diana, by the way, feels good and tries to stop. max lord tells the world to make any wish he wants bring it to chaos whatever you want you can make anything happen a dream is all yours for the profit isn't it exactly like he's touching all your technology that's what this world was like ? a beautiful place just the way it was and you can't have it all wonder woman calls on everyone to give up her wishes and naturally each person decides to do so.

I know you're thinking this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but you didn't see the video he played to bring everyone together, admit it, I took a lot longer to make that joke than you expected, we have 10 minutes left, why don't we dive into the villain's backstory now, but how much does it cost you to do so? You see the truth, I have been frustrated by the power of love. Actually, I'm not very far away. Max gives up his wish so he can go save his son and everyone, including Cheetah, withdraws his wish because of Wonder Woman's poetic words, even though we can.

Be different I guess some words really win everyone over, like Don't make a wish or we'll all die. I feel like that would have gotten to the point a little quicker. Max apologizes to his son for all the mistakes he has made. One day I will be able to make you proud enough that you can forgive me. I don't need you to make me proud. Why start now? Oh, that's worth it, never going to jail because yes, we'll never see what happens to him. After this, I'll assume he lived a long life as a wrestler, but the rest of the world goes back to normal.

Hey, can you help a sore, confused, bruised man with a plane part stuck up his ass? Wonderful, so many things, you know what I mean, yes, this is not a sweet moment, that you will be John Malkovich Tim for days and no amount of medicine will make it better. I like your outfit, thank you. Well, now I'm going to see my therapist, plural. They have a team working on me. She smiles. like they're in a Macy's commercial and even Asteria gets a shout out at the end. I've been doing this for a long time. OMG I can't believe they got the original Supergirl and that was Wonder Woman 1984.

She's crazy. What the hell, but it's unique, it's got good action, good effects and even good ideas, they're just not given enough time to breathe so they throw them all together. I feel like if they split the villains into two separate movies like one for max lord and one for cheetah it would have had more focus and maybe we would have something more on par with the first as it pushes every tone of thought and style into one big mess , but if you constantly ask yourself why he does everything, does it become fun in a different way?

I wish we could have had a more serious and legitimate sequel to the first movie, but I can't act like I'm not amused by the over the top and it's ridiculous, there's a lot of good stuff in it, there's also a lot of dumb stuff and half the time they're both equals. I can't act like I don't understand people who are angry after seeing something like that. powerful first movie in what feels like a live-action Saturday morning cartoon for the second, but I admit, the more I think about how silly it is, the more it makes me smile.

I know this is a strange review as it sounds like I'm saying it's both good and bad and yes I guess that's what I'm saying. I guess it brought me too much joy to write it off and while I understand it's not what everyone is looking for, I know it certainly wasn't what I was looking for and I still found myself entertained in the strangest ways I've ever been entertained. I'm nostalgic. I remember, so you don't have to. I need to find a way to touch a lot of people at the same time, hello doug walker, here doing the charity salute and this week we are doing a bread institute for the world, that's a name to remember, I bet you'll be If you ask what they are about, I will tell you that this institute provides policy analysis. about hunger and strategies to end it, educates its network of effectiveness, opinion leaders, policymakers and the public about hunger in the United States and abroad, believe that a well-educated and motivated American electorate will , I actually had to do this again because I said That word is wrong, so I got it right, there are small goals, but much bigger goals here at this charity, sorry, surely I'm the one who cares about the hungry people, who lastwill ultimately change the politics of hunger by empowering people with information.

This institute affects real progress towards the end. hungry and they have a four star rating on the charity navigator so this is a really good one to not only donate if you can but to do more research because the site has all kinds of great information on how to do both. on a small scale on a large scale we will really end hunger so check it out even if you don't have money to donate just check out the site because it's very interesting and they have a lot of interesting ideas. there and share the link if you can, as always, share the good that people are doing in this world game with as much attention as possible and that's it, I'll see you next time, take care.
