accomplishes everything that it intended. Set in 1984 for a reason. Revisit the message of Christopher Reeves’ Superman, pls. When superhero movies aspired to be about something bigger than simply being “badass.” When Superhero’s were, yep, more corny than cool.

With messages as overly simplistic as, god forbid- LOVE. 
How dare they! 
Fam, it was REFRESHING to watch an all powerful Superhero hate “guns.” She could easily rip her enemies apart with her hands but always made the harder choice. Forgiveness. Second chances. Have we...

... really become some hard & jaded that we refuse to even aspire to THIS message in our movies? Our movies?! Movies about a woman that uses a Golden lasso that forces people to tell the truth? Fam! A Golden lasso?! 
Have we become so accustomed to watching men direct these
Have we become so accustomed to watching men direct these
movies intended for 14 year old boys that we scoff at a woman’s vision that dares to bring us back to a time when our Superhero movies dared to have a soft & cheesy heart? I read someone say the “villain was bad because he had Daddy issues? Come on!” Um. Yeah! That’s how it f-n
starts! What the F lies at the bottom of Trump’s problems?! Yes! Daddy issues! Mommy issues! Issues can derail a child & have them turn into a self-loathing ass that wants to inflict their pain on ALL OF US. The monologues swung for the fences!
Were they always successful? I don’t know but GD the mere act alone is revolutionary in this time! I cried. It was & continues to be REFRESHING to watch movies about strong women, directed by strong women, show us what THEY VIEW AS STRENGTH! Yes she can kill us with one blow

but she repeatedly makes a BETTER choice. She continually doubles down on her belief that people are fundamentally good. That we’re ALL wounded & angry. That bad things have happened to ALL of us. But in spite of that we still need to be GOOD PEOPLE. Decent. Honest. And if that
message is cheesy & makes someone not a badass? Welp. That’s the kind of badass that I want my child to be. And let’s be honest, isn’t THAT who these movies are ultimately intended for? 
Feels good to sit down w/ my 11 year old & have her watch a Superhero movie about a woman,
Feels good to sit down w/ my 11 year old & have her watch a Superhero movie about a woman,
Co-written by a woman & directed by a woman. Thus eliminating the male gaze of a male director. That’s the best part! To watch her grow up in THIS new emerging world.
And sure, I’m not naive, we have a LONG WAY TO GO. I’m a black man. Shit. Enough said. But GD it feels good to watch her eyes grow big & receive a message about HONESTY, about TRUTH. & to have that message come from a woman that could rip the head off of any man with her bare
hands but CHOOSES not to do so. She chooses to go for the better choice. Repeatedly. Deliberately. Is it corny? Hell yeah! But GD let’s at least shoot for the stars in our MOVIES! The real world will come crashing in soon enough. Let them dream.
