I don't like she shift away from red white & blue, to a more "dark" look.
Not impressed.
I understand that the idea for some time has been to make WW look more Greek. Surprised the comic book character still has blue eyes, to be honest.
I really liked the tones used in BvS. It comes out of my studies in ancient Greek history. Indulging in pedantry for a moment: Amazons would have worn leather cuirasses, not swimsuits especially coloured red and blue when both colours were extremely difficult to get as clothing dyes. The quasi-hoplite armour isn't quite right to be honest (it post-dates Mycanean times - 700BC, and is more 400-250BC) but why quibble.
There is controversy which we have discussed before about the evolution of established comic book characters so as to steer them towards becoming women, minorities or other ethnicities (Firestorm, Spectre, and most recently Nick Fury, Hulk, Thor, Captain Marvel, Captain America, the new Chinese Superman). On the one hand, why change the legacy of characters for the sake of change? On the other hand, to accommodate non-traditional markets amongst women and minorities, as well as overseas markets, where is the harm especially if it increases sales (the effect on sales of Thor was enormous) and anything which doesn't work can be reversed?
As someone who isn't especially attached to any character and just like good writing, I don't especially care one way or the other, although I see both sides of the argument.
With Wonder Woman I especially see it. A 60 year old character which everyone expects to see as a blue-eyed brunette in a swimsuit bouncing bullets off her bracelet, transformed into a serious melee fighter with a sword and a shield and a golden lasso that seems almost alive and acts like a whip. I thought it was awesome, but anyone expecting to see a bouncy brunette like Linda Carter would have been let down.
