Discuss Wonder Woman

Who what I've read, this seems like the millionth movie where they slaughter Germans en masse, and portray the Entente as the messianic good guys. It's 2017, and we're still making one dimensional movies where the Anglo-Americans (and whatever allies they have at the moment) are the heroes, and the Germans are evil, sinister barely humans who need to be slaughtered.

A shame.

I'm sure if the allies had lost, the Germans would be making one dimensional movies of the Entente getting slaughtered en masse. As they say, "Movie scripts are written by the victors."

Messianic good guys? Not really, the true villain turned out one of the Brits and WW was generally speaking of the duality of human nature at the end. Didn't she make the exact point at the end?

Ze Germans are evil people, like Gingers, and anyone named Keith.

I thought the same. I didnt see germans being slaughtered. German high command wanted to call a truce to end the pointless trench warfare.

what if Steve was a German spy and the British were the ones with the nerve gas. The OP would likely be upset because the puppet master would be (as always....) evil German.

I think that was they really wanted to do was an old Hollywood WW 2 movie setting but since Captain America: TFA, beat them to it, they had to settle for a WW 1 setting. Now the actual history was that WW 1 really had no good or bad sides, just absurd and pointless alliances and treaties that forced the conflict and that both sides used poisonous gas. But that to me is irrelevant as it all gets so confusing after a while. In reality the British would certainly want to colonize Wonder Woman's Amazon home if they weren't busy with a war and happened to come across it. It is just cartoon history for a cartoon movie. I liked the movie but after a while it just faded away.
