Wonder Woman
Can one person create or stop the war? Wonder woman, directed by Petty Jenkin is a superhero origin movie where the main character Diana, the princess of Themyscira (Gal Gadot) is conflicted with this question. She believed that killing the God of war, Ares would stop the war. She is naïve and is unaware of the way of the society. The movie is set in the time of World War I which is favorable as it was a changing time of the history. The movie has a clear and simple plot. The performances of the actors were solid, the action scenes are well-constructed and the special effects have shown the different situations in the movie with a beautiful soundtrack giving it a life. The film showed the development of Diana as a person and shedding of her childhood innocence as she witnessed the horror of wars and ultimately learns that evil is not manifested in one single person.
The movie starts with a beautiful setting of Themyscira, where Diana is brought up by Hippolyta, Amazonian queen (Connie Nielsen) and other amazon warriors. She learns to fight from her aunt, Antiope (Robin Wright). The opening action sequence in Themyscira was incredible and emotional as well when Antiope dies. WWI setting gave Diana to develop her character through the movie. According to Petty Jenkin, “since the movie will show Diana's first time venturing into the outside world, it was important to place her in an environment where she would see firsthand the horrors that humanity is capable of.

Athena and Diana were very bright women because both were against injustice and would fight towards one’s right. Both were intelligent, but in their own way, Diana Prince showed her true emotions, “watching Wonder Woman grow up surrounded by the love of other
In the 2011 film, Captain America: The First Avenger by Joe Johnston, a rejected military soldier transforms into Captain America after taking a super-soldier serum to fight in the war against a terrorist organization, and discovers that to be the hero everyone loves sacrifices have to be made. Steve Rogers, the main character, symbolizes a young man who wants to fight for their country in World War 2, but is too weak and small to be enlisted. The film reinvents the typical man by making Steve into a super-soldier making him taller, stronger, and better looking, thereby encompassing the physicality of masculinity. However, Steve ultimately rejects the modern conceptions of what it means to be a man which creates a new type of masculinity that focuses more on emotions and natural goodness, and is therefore somewhat feminized. Although the film appears to just be another stereotypical representation of a male leading others to victory fearlessly, it also challenges the hegemonic codes for masculinity while also presenting an idea of what a “real” man should be.
She and her father prove they are dynamic characters because they both thought of Diana as a troublemaker and a monster at first, but now they think of her as a sweet, pretty, and shy girl. They continue to progress that way of thinking throughout the story, and keep thinking the nice things. Diana also begins to think of Lissa of a nice friend, rather than a snob like she thought in the beginning. Therefore making them round characters.

The article “Out of Character: Wonder Woman’s Strength is Her Compassion- What Happened”, by Stevie St. John takes a look at the various depictions of Wonder Woman’s character. As many know, Wonder Woman is shown to have compassion for people with the goal of fighting for “peace, justice and equality” (St. John, pg. 459).

However the methods have shifted and the article proposes that September 11th played an influence in the superhero industry. With this, there is an article by the Los Angeles Times named “Post- 9/11 world: What caused the rise of superhero movies” by Cassandra Hsiao, that takes a look at this new movement.

Her mission is to bring love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men. The heroine Princess Diana of Themyscira, more famously known as Wonder Woman, has gone through various reimagining and different retellings in both media and comic books. But all of these have the same basic origin. She was born and lived the majority of her life on the isolated paradise island of Themyscira, an island inhabited entirely of Amazonian women. Everything changed one day when pilot, Captain Steve Trevor crashed on the mysterious island. Soon after he crashed, as he was being held and treated on the island, Queen Hippilyta held a tournament to decide who would have the honor of escorting Captain Trevor back to the
Isolation in her relationship with her husband, Leroy, causes Norma Jean to defy typical women's roles, as it helps her develop a sense of physical and mental power, eventually leading her to the desire for a separated life from her husband in which she holds dominance. After the death of Randy, their infant son, Norma Jean and Leroy’s relationship is stretched, as they are isolated from each other and their emotions, and Leroy provides no support for Norma Jean when he goes onto the road as a truck driver. Leroy leaving Norma all by herself leads to her growing independence and her advancements in her emotions towards the past tragedy. When Leroy is hurt from his truck accident and stays at home, his views on Norma Jean have changed as she is stronger than ever, and “Standing with her legs apart, [Norma Jean] reminds Leroy of Wonder Woman”(Mason 1). The representation of Norma Jean as Wonder Woman can display the growing physical power that the author has demonstrated in her. The character of Wonder Woman is strong and is able to challenge men who are supposed to be stronger than her, contributing roles the woman have and how the society views them. Furthermore, the accident that Leroy is involved in leads to his gradual defeat in his dominance over his marriage, whereas Norma Jean is able to gain power through the weakness in the masculine power in her marriage. However, the roles that women are expected to follow, are to obey the husband and not to display preeminence over them. These roles are established so that the feminine power is always smaller compared to the masculine power. Moreover, when Leroy needs a physical therapist in order to make himself stronger again, Norma Jean uses this as an advantage of making herself stronger. By establishing herself as a physically stronger individual, Norma Jean moves forward to be mentally stronger which would allow her to be the most powerful. Despite the roles that women are expected to follow, Norma Jean chooses to challenge them and be equally or more powerful than men. Through mental power, an individual can control one’s emotions and feelings towards other. Norma Jean chooses to bring herself outside her home as she finds a job and starts to take writing

In the movie, Diana Prince left the only home she had ever known. She knew that she would never be able to return to the secluded island where all of her friends and family lived. She was taken into the heart of London. The city had no beauty compared to her island with the clear blue water and the green mountains. In London people buzzed in the busy streets. The air was polluted with a grey smog that hung over the city like a sad cloud. Diana being thrown into a completely different culture was perplexed.

Although her partner, Steve Trevor, tried to explain to her what was going on, she did not grasp the quirky ways of London.
