1. I love this nt

2. I really want to take my little one

Also in Kindergarten. We thought maybe it was a bit too old for her though. Maybe this gives me some leverage with the hubby.

8. We tried to take our youngest

the other night. She was hungry first. After we ate she was too tired to see a movie.

My youngest is 23 years old. Lol.

10. My daughter is 25.

Never got into 'male superhero' movie franchises.

She liked 'Harry Potter' Hermione, 'Hunger Games' movies, and 'Divergent' series. All strong, heroic women!

"Everybody needs a hero!"

[Control-Z]

19. My daughter read all The Hunger Games

and Divergent books first. She was excited when Hunger Games hit the theaters. Katniss became her hero to the point that her boyfriend took her to archery lessons so she could be Katniss! She loved it!

She's a little more grown up now. She went to film School and is now working as a set designer in LA. She works for Funny or Die quite a bit (really excellent gig) when she's not working on a feature film. But she misses home. She just moved about 6 months ago so she comes down for mommy love (and daddy will-you-buy-me love) when she has a full day and night off. She really was tired when we tried to see Wonder Woman. I really miss her. I'm afraid now I may have to see Wonder Woman alone with her father. He'll ruin it, blabbing all the way through about every little thing he finds wrong with it.

24. Hahahaha. Lol.

Too funny and too true.

5. That's great- And let that be a lesson to those who say

"It's just a movie." Movies, novels, plays, music and all art is more powerful than we like to admit. Totalitarians always seek to crush the arts for a reason.

6. Next up?

Captain Marvel!

Oh, if only they would make a Ms. Marvel movie!

[GaYellowDawg]

12. Scheduled for 2020, I think.

15. Captain Marvel IS Ms.Marvel.

Same character.

[JHB]

21. No, there's a new Ms.Marvel

Kamala Khan, a muslim girl in Jersey City, not Carol Danvers

[PragmaticLiberal]

23. Yeah, I know about Kamala.

I thought you didn't know that Captain Marvel was actually the other Ms Marvel (Carol Danvers)


My bad.

[Nevernose]

22. I posted that from my comic book room

Let that phrase sink in: "comic book room." I know what I'm talking about

The new Ms. Marvel is awesome, by the way. I thought it was going to be pandering bullshit, but she's easily the best new character from a cape book in years.

9. Wonderful.

They are our future.

11. Yaay!

Wonder Woman has been great for kids, especially girls.

As for the male-based super hero movies, I enjoy them, too. The women in them aren't shrinking violets: Jane Foster was in charge of the scientific research team, not the secretary. Don't forget the Black Widow! She not only kicked ass, but she can and did mentally manipulate bad guys into giving up their secrets by playing into their feelings of superiority.

Other strong women in leadership positions: Peggy Carter, Maria Hill, the Scarlet Witch, Sif, and Frigga. Apologies if I forgot anyone.

13. Saw it the other day

Sorry to say - except for the action scenes which basically had WW jumping and spinning - it was boring. Silly plot line, mishmash of mythology, and generally a big yawn.

[DaDeacon]

16. well you are in the Minority opinion...

Sorry, you didn't enjoy the film BUT it seems that most people & critics young and old are loving it and that's a good thing!

20. "Rotten Tomatoes"

18. eggscllent

2 of my friends said that this w.w film was most eggscllent, and that lynda carter has a signifiicant role in this one . i hero worshiped the adam west (silent key) batman , my late mom had a fit about that. this formed my concept of right and worng. may these childerens path be as bright.

[Dave Starsky]

25. Lynda's not in this one.

But Gal Gadot absolutely nails it. You WILL believe wristbands will stop bullets.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

26. The movie is rated PG13.

Sounds like an awful lot of kids under the age of 7 are watching it, which doesn't strike me as all that fabulous.

And no, kids are not that much more mature these days.

[yallerdawg]

27. Take your kids to the movies!

PG 13

A trademark for a movie rating indicating that admission will be granted to persons of all ages but that parental guidance is suggested in the case of children under the age of 13.

28. "THAT IS WHY THERE ARE NO MEN IN TEMYSCIRA"

omg, my sides hurt!
