Wonder Woman: 10 Major DCEU Problems It Fixed

In retrospect, it's not hard to see why Warner Bros. felt like they had to rely on explosions and destruction to keep people's attention in their prior films. After all, the plots in said films had a tendency to be more than a little bit unnecessarily convoluted, all while not making good use of the characters themselves.

Batman v Superman took a simple premise and made it into something so needlessly jam-packed with more plot points than it knew what to do with that it was simply hard to care about any of it, all while underplaying the characters of Batman and Superman, who should have been the driving force behind that movie.

Throughout Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, very little was done to give any of the key characters any sort of unique personality, whereas too much was done to make the plots feel more complicated than they needed to be, which created an ugly contrast. Plus, Suicide Squad's idea of character development practically equated to statistics on the back of baseball cards.

On the other hand, Wonder Woman has a plot that is not only interesting, but gets that way through natural progression, as opposed to divulging into a needlessly intricate mess. The deeper, more complicated stuff, is reserved for the characters themselves, most prominently, Diana herself and Steve Trevor. They are constantly learning more about themselves and growing as complex individuals in a way that's easy to follow, rather than being flat characters in a complicated story.
