Movie Moments LXIII: Superman Edition (May 2021)

Movie Moments XXIX: June 2020 (DCEU edition)

What I’ve discovered after this run is that these movies are all actually pretty fun if you want to think about character and world-building, but the “plot,” such as it is, generally makes very little sense.

• I will forever be grateful that they didn’t cast a milky-pale woman to be Diana, for the record.
• Everything about the Themyscira scenes are perfect. And the costumes! They’re made practical even while they seem skimpy. All those tunics look functional, and there isn’t any point when we’re looking at someone’s body simply for the sake of it. (I would absolutely wear any outfit we see Hippolyta wearing. I’d look ridiculous, probably, but it would be worth it. Those heavy skirts slashed so you can still ride and kick in them? WANT.) Everybody with long hair has it braided back in some way so it doesn’t get in their eyes! Seriously, everybody on that island looks like they could do some serious damage, given the need. And the fight choreography! Ah!
