@Brettsky128: YES! And isn't it frustrating to be swept up in a blanket statement? "All EU readers?" Yeah.... okay. No major plot points were allowed without GL approval.

@dieofnv2: Yeah, you're right about that. But what I'm saying is, I "noticed" that there were more slo-mo frame ups of her twirling body in commercials over the past couple years than there are in your average Michael Bay movie. And I'm not complaining. Just saying maybe they both could be a little right. Personally, I think they're both a couple of self-important A-holes who think they wield way more cultural influence than they actually do. But this is just a passive pragmatic view on what I THINK, not an empirical argument. What I do know, and could empirically prove if I wanted to, is that little girls today identify with WW, and have never heard of Sarah Connor. So I guess that probably is the ultimate decider of the debate posed in the article.

I see both sides of the argument, really. On one hand, the movie propelled WW into being a more recognizable hero for girls. On the other hand, advertising for these movies was basically a montage of Gal Gadot ass shots.

Oof, I wouldn't want to "hive" him the stage, either. Sounds contagious.

@sellingthings: I'm sorry, I should stop. Arguing with you always makes me feel like I'm making fun of a disabled person. I ought to strive to be better than that.

@sellingthings: Haha, oh sellingthings, the best part is, I often agree with your initial arguments (like now). But you're such a beautiful mix of dense and ignorant, I can't help but mock you. I appreciate that about you. You can't even structure a complete sentence, and yet you proclaim "reading comprehension!" It's like an especially pitiful form of tourette's.

@halfofme07: Or maybe.... are you trying to pull a Jedi mind trick on me??? Like, "I did not list all of the movie's major plot points in my OP, these are not the spoilers you're looking for....."? That sort of thing?

@sellingthings: Huh? I may or may not agree with you. Because as usual, sellingthings, you speak in incoherent and contradictory gibberish.

@Oogazi: Fair enough. I submit to the possibility that the feedback I was referring to comes from the circles I interact with, and that they evidently don't represent the population at hand. However, if viewers are complaining about "lore gaps," then they have every right to be upset. Fans invested immeasurable time, money, and love into books, video games, and comics that officially developed that lore for over 30 years. And Disney has officially wiped every detail of it out. What disrespect and insult to the consumer base that this all was built on.

"Serious athletic competition"? Haaaaaa! Yeah, it should be treated as "seriously" as a men's event. But come on, dude.
