Characters such as Wonder Woman are based on an ideal and serve as a reflection of how this concept has transformed over time. With the incorporation of renewed Greek mythology, it is easy to see why the comic book industry has taken the entertainment world by storm. No longer just for children in comic book shops, its reach is now far more extensive.
The news regarding the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman has once again sparked discussions and debates about the representation of superheroes in movies.
While Gal Gadot possesses numerous attractive attributes, her portrayal of Wonder Woman is a departure from the traditional depictions of the legendary Amazonian heroine we are accustomed to. The iconic physical characteristics of Wonder Woman, including her broad shoulders and hips, strong arms, large breasts, muscular legs, and angular face, have been noticeably altered.
The portrayal of Wonder Woman by Gadot has undergone a transformation similar to that of Victoria’s Secret models, with a focus on a slim figure, tiny waist, delicate facial features, and average-sized breasts.
It’s quite challenging to picture an Amazon warrior princess who fits into a size zero with a supermodel appearance and appears more graceful in high heels than rugged boots. Only time will tell what DC Entertainment comes up with for the upcoming film.
