Wonder Woman: 10 Reasons To Be Excited

In the recent trailers for Wonder Woman, Diana Prince lives in a matriarchal, female-only society on the fiction Greek island of Themyscira. Before long she discovers Chris Pine's Steve Trevor washed up on her beach, finds out that the First World War is happening, and decides to enter the world of men in order to stop it. Later, when Trevor tells Prince that he can't let her do something dangerous, she replies, "What I do is not up to you."

The Prince of the movie appears to be a confident, intelligent and completely capable person able to keep up with and best men in most areas. She also seems to have little interest in the early 20th century's regressive gender roles, as shown by her assertion to Etta Candy that going where a man tells you to go and doing what he tells you to do is tantamount to slavery.

So is Wonder Woman going to be a feminist superhero movie? Here's hoping that all those great moments from the trailers aren't one-offs and that the movie really states a case for true equality. If you're going to risk your life saving the world, it might as well be one worth fighting for, right?
