Because writers still haven't figured out how to get across that men can be shytty without immediately going to rape and unwanted advances. It's almost like it's the only way they think they can get us men to sign off on random guy #27 being a piece of shyt.
BRUH. I died laughing at that shyt.
On one hand, I very much see where they were going with trying to work in a bunch of 80s movie tropes. The plain girl suddenly being attractive by taking off her glasses bit (complete with the standard coworker suddenly willing to damn near be her servant just because he thinks she's hot). The "what will this character wear" montage. And the mall scene felt like an homage to the old Superman movies where Superman would do literally everything but just lightly backhand someone, all while winking at kids/the audience. The White House fight seemed like it was trying its hand at old school Jackie Chan situational combat where the protagonist is trying to fight while also avoiding hurting some innocent bystander, or breaking a bunch of valuables, but they forgot to put effort into it.
It's clear what they were TRYING to do. They very much wanted to make a version of those old Superman movies, but forgot that those movies, but forgot that those movies are 40 fukking years old, and people expect more out of their superhero movies now.
I think what stuck with me the most was the invisible jet. They really spent something like 10 minutes essentially giving the invisible jet an origin story, then bush that when she just says fukk it, and learns to fly, while simultaneously using the lasso like Spider-Man's webs, and Mjolnir. It's indicative of what's wrong with the rest of the movie. This is a two and a half hour Wonder Woman movie where she spends most of it not Wonder Womaning (yet another homage to Superman II, really). And the climactic conflict is quite literally resolved by her sitting in a corner and crying.
And fukk them for that mid credits scene. We all know that isn't going to mean shyt in the long run.
