[–] III@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) The first Wonder Woman had all those tropes too. People just seem to not remember that. I have never figured out why. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago Having the tropes doesn't make the movie bad per se. A bad use of the tropes makes it bad. WW1 works as a dumb action flick. WW87 fails even at that. Diane giving that moral speech at the climax of the movie felt like a 80s cartoon "moral lesson" - thinking about it, it sure feels like the movie was a big budget, 80s toy-seller cartoon episode permalink fedilink source parent [–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago I'd argue that the first one used those tropes whereas 87 fell back into them to the point that they became themes. permalink fedilink source parent
