10 Amazing Villains Wasted In Terrible Superhero Movies
6. Cheetah - Wonder Woman 1984
While the first movie's deep cut use of obscure villain Dr. Poison was ingenious, the sequel really needed to show off Wonder Woman's more classic baddies. And Cheetah was an absolutely brilliant choice.
But that's where the compliments end.
Fortunately, the problems with Cheetah don't extend further than just not having a lot going on besides her sick ass design, which - frankly - has always been a problem with the character, so I can't act like that's some great adaptation sin.
Which leaves Cheetah a hell of a lot better off than the rest of this trainwreck of a movie. At least the problems with her here have been problems since the character's inception instead of getting dragged into the quagmire of poorly thought out plot beats with everyone else.
Hopefully Cheetah will get the second chance she deserves in the DCEU's future.
