10 Plot Points Wonder Woman Stole From Marvel

3. The Bait & Switch Villain

Wonder Woman's big twist is that General Ludendorff is not in fact Ares, but rather, the God of War's real identity turns out to be Imperial War Cabinet member Sir Patrick Morgan.

This is rather reminiscent of the similar bait-and-switch in Iron Man 3, where Ben Kingsley's character is revealed to be an actor named Trevor Slattery, hired to act as a fake Mandarin while Guy Pearce's apparently real iteration of the supervillain operated in the wings.

Thankfully the Ares reveal didn't upset fans like the Mandarin twist did, even if it was insanely predictable to anyone who had been remotely following the movie's production.
