Why not get a woman with the body type of Serena Williams?


I mean if we are being real here, these are 'amazonian' women? Gal Gadot has like zero muscle on her body. And we are supposed to believe she is this strong woman.

Oh yeah she was chosen for her looks.....tbh she looks like some housewife in LA on her way to her yoga class. Not a superhero.

It's cringe worthy when I see her fighting bad guys in the films and like it's so clear there is no way in hell she is doing that. Zero believe ability. Just like how you play a shitty video game and are like....the physics are so off.

Look at women who are Olympic athletes who actually in a way 'fight' their opponents and you will see they don't have a body like Gal. Hell look at military women. So sick of 'tall white model' being the default female role in these types of movies.

Just like in everything else we need that token slutty girl to get the perv audience in.....sad.

This movie is supped to be partly about female empowerment. Funny how the only females that are empowered just happen to be tall white beautiful models.....how empowering....??? LOL

She wasn't just totally inappropriate, casting her was a rather profound insult. Making it worse, the word is that on Themyscira in the movie, there are actual Amazon-looking women. WW, who is supposed to be the most outstanding of the batch, is a heroin-chic model.

I'm glad the movie is a success and everyone seems to like it but casting her was a serious dick move.

If they actually cast a woman like Serena you'd get some assholes saying she's fat or too manly. There is no pleasing dickheads.
