Ok, and why again wasn't she cast as Wonder Woman in B vs. S?


She looks perfect for the role. Right age too. Anyone?

You talking about the 2016 movie, where Gal Gadot is cast as WW??

Gemma is a cutie but personally I don't see her playing Wonder Women. Have you seen her run? She doesn't look very athletic and she is of average height. Gadot is tall and athletic and just seems a much better choice.

Why would you even think Arterton might have been considered??

Because she's young, has dark hair and looks a little like her in the face. I'm one of hundreds online who proposed her in the first place.

Now you see how well that worked!! 

What's that supposed to mean Captain Patronization?

It just seems pretty silly to me for fans to try to tell the studio who should play a certain character. There's a lot more than "she looks a bit like I think WW should look" to picking actors for certain parts. They are in the business of picking actors, that is what they do, and they can't just try to please a few vocal fans.

I like Gemma, I just don't think she would have been a good pick to play WW, and I believe the one they picked is going to be great in that role.

If you disagree strongly you DO have the option of avoiding the movie. As we all do for any movie.

Welcome to the Internet. People have been doing this since 1996. Where have you been?


"There's a lot more than "she looks a bit like I think WW should look" to picking actors for certain parts. They are in the business of picking actors, that is what they do, and they can't just try to please a few vocal fans."

But you asked me a question and I answered it truthfully. Lots of people on here suggested Gemma Atherton. I saw a pic of her on her birthday posted on imdb and I remembered her being actually a big fan pic.


"I like Gemma, I just don't think she would have been a good pick to play WW, and I believe the one they picked is going to be great in that role."

You're kind of passive aggressively making me out that I have a major problem with the Gal Gadot casting. I never said I did, but yeah she wasn't my first choice but it is what it is. I'd like you to go single out the hundreds of dozens of others who were much more "wrong" about their disapproval upon Ms. Gadot's original announcement of her being cast.



"If you disagree strongly you DO have the option of avoiding the movie. As we all do for any movie."


You're being ridiculous. All I did was state my opinion. It wasn't done with sass or any sort of fervent retort. On that fact alone, you're overreacting. But keep playing keyboard psychiatrist if that's your niche---who knows what better for them then themselves, am I right?

Your opening post is " She looks perfect for the role. Right age too. Anyone? "

So I responded, as you requested. That's all. Nice chatting with you. 

You're a douchebag.

And please tell me you're not married. The poor spouse having to deal with someone as self-righteous and know-it-all as you..
