Wonder Woman (2017 film)

Wonder Woman (2017) is a live-action DCEU movie. It stars Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, and Robin Wright as Antiope.

Diana, Princess of Themyscira, longs to train with her aunt and adoptive sisters as the Amazons hide from the world of men. Her mother Queen Hippolyta at first tries to dissuade her, saying that she's still a kid and should not know the horrors of war. Aunt Antiope starts training Diana in secret, telling her how Ares wiped out his sibling gods and that Zeus entrusted the Amazons with the only weapon that can defeat him.

One day, after Diana accidentally sent her aunt flying during training, she notices something fall out of the sky. It's a plane, with a man trapped inside. She rescues him and gets him to the Themyscira beaches; enemy soldiers follow, attacking him and the Amazons. The man is revealed to be Steve Trevor, a British spy that stole a notebook on chemical warfare from the Germans. It's World War I, and the Germans may be violating war protocols by developing gas masks.


 * Adorkable: Diana has a few moments in London, like when she tries out a few outfits that Steve buys for her, seeing if she can fight in them. She charges through a revolving door like it's an obstacle course, and swings her sword. Later, she makes a beeline for a baby, and Steve has to stop her. Before they leave London, Steve treats her to ice-cream, and she tells the vendor, "You should be proud."
 * Combat Pragmatist:
 * Antiope encourages Diana that there is a time and place to fight honorably. She demonstrates that if your back is to the wall, then you have to prepare to forsake honor and go for the cheap shot..
 * Steve is willing to fight dirty to defeat an opponent. He draws the line at poisoning them via gas because that could endanger civilians.
 * Likewise, Chief is perfectly willing to lob a grenade at an opponent unable to dodge. He has plenty of them on hand, and his fists as well.
 * Everyone Has Standards:
 * Steve was supposed to get in, get out, and report back on info that would convince the British that the Germans had upgraded their chemical warfare. He broke protocol and stole Dr. Maru's notebook when seeing her experiment on a chained-up soldier, as the latter was screaming in pain while a mask gagged him. Why? Because Steve realized that if he didn't act, innocents would die..
 * During the Veld scene, the British soldiers go Mass "Oh Crap" when they see Diana climb over the trenches and enter No Man's Land. They move to go help Steve and his crew when they provide backup for Diana; their commanding officer has to yell at them to hold their positions so they don't get killed. It's only when Diana makes sufficient ground that the officer gives them the go-ahead, and they're cheering, "She's done it!" as they end the stalemate.
 * Hero of Another Story: Etta Candy mentions that she's running a militant women's rights organization in London..
 * Mama Bear:
 * Hippolyta has not properly led her warriors into battle since Zeus hid the Amazons on Themyscira. But when she sees Diana with a strange man on the beach? She raises her army and warns him to get away from her daughter.
 * Antiope has trained Diana to be the best warrior possible. She also spends much of the battle on Themyscira protecting her niece, taking a bullet for her.
 * Properly Paranoid: Even though the Amazons have hidden from humanity for millennia, Antiope still trains regularly, while Hippolyta watches the cliffs for the day that Ares will return. Turns out that training pays off; when Steven's plane crashes just off the island, the Germans manage to find Thmeyscira and fire the first shots at the Amazons. They manage to slaughter everyone that hits their shores, but suffer some casualties as well, including Antiope.
 * Reality Ensues: Diana thinks that if she finds Ares in human guise and kills him with the special Godkiller sword, mankind will no longer be corrupt. So she goes for and slays him. Only...the Germans are still loading the planes with gas. Steve tearfully tells Diana that killing one "bad guy" doesn't mean you stop a war or a conflict.
 * Sacred Hospitality: After the Amazons use the sacred lasso to interrogate Steve, they realize that he's not a threat like the Germans were. Hippolyta gives him private chambers and the medics attend to him, and he's locked up in a Gilded Cage while they discuss what to do with him. Steve doesn't seem to mind once his wounds are dressed and is willing to answer Diana's questions.
 * Would Hurt A Child:
 * It's revealed that the German soldiers are beneath their gas masks. This means that Isabel Maru and General Erich Friedrich Wilhelm Ludendorff were  when trying to create a gas that would disintegrate the protections.
 * By necessity, in the climax,.
