I just watched #WW84 . It is as racist as I have read. The overall theme of 'greed is bad/be careful what you wish for/I know things are bad' rings incredibly hollow given Gadot's support of the IDF as well as Wonder Woman's refusal to grapple with why people are disillusioned.

A good-looking god, also a princess, has incredible powers and items, seems baller rich, has a cool job, and also is treated by most men as only a sex object...then has the gall to tell a woman who is treated like shit and nearly r*ped that she should get over her powerlessness

And while the main pairs chemistry is still great, who in their right mind thought it was cool for them to basically hijack some random poor guys body and r*pe him. Changing it to be actually Steve only changes the outfit scene

Continuing with race, okay so an Arab oil tycoon wants his ancestral home back. Which apparently is the same as the US president (not Reagan for some reason*) wanting more nukes.

Maxwell Lord's plan is to get more and more with no specific goal because...

*checks notes*

His father abused his mother, which leads to him wetting the bed and his father berating him, and also all the kids were mean to Max because he's no quite white and also poor

Both Maxwell and Barbara are victims of patriarchy, rape culture, and abuse. They seek power due to the structures of the world leaving them tormented.

Diana helps by...um...preserving the status quo. Nice.
