When Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman back in late 2013, the Internet was not happy, with many fans believing that her slender frame wouldn't do the Amazonian heroine justice.

As it turned out, Gadot was one of the most widely-praised aspects of Batman v Superman, and Wonder Woman is the only critically successful DCEU movie to date, which just goes to show how ill-founded all that initial hand-wringing was.

The way fans reacted to the news, you'd think someone just murdered their dog, but it's yet more proof of an unconventional casting announcement that ended up totally hitting the mark.
