RUN - do not walk - to see Justice Society WWII (Patreon)
Content
For you animation fans, have I got a doozy for you.
You HAVE to see the Warner Bros/DC "Justice League: WWII" movie that just came out. The story is fine, and the animation quality is better than some recent efforts. But here's why it's officially endorsed by the MKU: Boy, does Wonder Woman kick all kinds of ass.
In this modern time, when some get skittish with violence, or objectification, etc., WW is sometimes watered down. She becomes the peacemaker, and I suspect she is sometimes deliberately drawn to de-emphasize her physical appearance (sometimes, she looks downright...strange.)
Well, in JS: WWII, the gloves are OFF.
In this one, Diana is tall, beautiful, and actually buff! And as fans of our little niche, she is EVERYTHING we could hope for. She's regal, but not stand-offish, she's serious, but not humorless, and she is absolutely in charge of this team of heroes. And she kicks ass - so much ass, there must be piles of dead Nazis in her wake.
She has one of the best, most epic intros of any superhero movie I've seen, with a great "oh, shit" moment from the group of Nazis she's about the decimate. And DC didn't shrink from making her brutal when she needs to be - this is war! She blurs into action, wiping out platoons with some of the best action scenes I've seen in any DC animated movie. She performs body throws on at least two guys whose backs have to be broken after she's done, and one kick snaps a guy's leg like kindling.
"We all have to die sometime," she says, and then kicks in a massive door right when a Nazi tries to run through it, squashing him like a bug. Boy oh boy -- I feel like they made this movie just for us. She cuts through at least 18/two dozen soldiers, wrecks two tanks, and has not one, but TWO scenes where she lifts the Flash and hold him off the ground by his throat, for at least a minute and a half. LOVE. IT.
Anyway, this is probably the best depiction of WW I've ever seen, and as a HUGE fan of the character, that says a lot.
