Wonder Woman: 10 Major DCEU Problems It Fixed
10. A Creative World For The Characters To Inhabit
When you are telling the story of inherently outlandish characters such as Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman, you have to get creative with the environments they reside in. To put it another way, filming a big city and simply calling it Gotham or Metropolis is not going to cut it. Especially when nothing is done to make them feel truly unique or even distinguishable from one another.
In Wonder Woman, the environments we see actually fully embrace the outlandish nature of the character. We're given an extensive look at Themyscira and also receive insight into their customs, beliefs, and teachings. Diana's ties to Greek mythology are given the spotlight as well, further illustrating that Warner Bros. has finally become comfortable with embracing what makes these larger-than-life characters so great to begin with.
Finally, when Diana does enter the "real world", as it were, she feels confused and out of place, which doubles down on the same idea. And what follows is World War I, but a version of it that further lends itself to Wonder Woman's inherent uniqueness.
It's a movie that makes the world just as interesting as the characters, something the DCEU has failed to do in the past.
