Okay, Okay, Okay! Now, you know how I LOVE Wonder Woman, y'all know! So after getting bits and pieces of this pilot script, I realized why the networks passed on it.
The concept SUX! This is an insult to the character and the icon. Who told David E. Kelley that this was okay?
Here's what did it for me.
- She doesn't need 3 identities. George Perez killed that mess in his reboot in 1987.
- Diana isn't some street fighter, she tackles global issues.
- Why is taking spinning classes and working out to Lady Gaga? Is this a joke?
- Diana is running a company called Themyscira industries? Why?
- As Diana Prince, she is "mousy". Hello? It's the 21st FRAKKING century!
- She doesn't wear the costume, she wears a spandex costume. Does this strikes a memory?
- The script is loaded with Sex and The City-ish stuff. Again Why?
- Her origin is almost forgetten.
- She rocks out in her car, plane and office like a teenaged girl.
- She has a underground team helping her solve crime. GTFOOH!
And I've noticed that none of the male superheroes had their origins completely ripped up. Maybe some slight changes here and there, but they stuck to the heart and soul of the character. This is a mockery of her!
I hope NBC makes him rewrite this script, because if this is how the series begins it will be canceled within the 1st season.
