I’m boycotting super-hero movies until Hollywood makes a marxist super-hero.

Okay, saw it.
It was okay. Not great. A bit hokey. A bit predictable.
Visually, it was good but we’ve seen it before. I like the female superhero running the show. That’s a good thing. I like the actress playing Wonder Woman. It wasn’t a bad film. But I’ll still take The Dark Knight trilogy as the standard for these things.
I will see Justice League. I have to. My wife is in love with Jason Momoa.

Good post. You captured a lot of what I saw.
There was also a subtle sense of double entendres.
Like the scene where she walks in on him bathing. She says what’s that and indicates with her head in a slight gesture, seemingly aiming at his body. He gets a startled look then goes oh I get it…and so he lifts up what she was “pointing to” and says, that’s a watch. And she says “you let that little thing tell you what to do?” It was funny.
I notice reviewers are missing things. Like there are reviewers who actually think she was molded of clay and brought to life by Zeus. They don’t realize that’s a lie she was told (the truth being more clear when she says to Ares, “good bye brother”).
And one review that says Trevor initiates their lovemaking. No he doesn’t. She gives him a frank and clear “come hither” look…he was about to leave till seeing that.
It’s amazing isn’t it btw that little Buttercup of The Princess Bride is the same actress who plays General Antiope, Diana’a Aunt, in Wonder Woman (obviously Robin Wright).
The “twist” didn’t surprise me but the fact that Lucy Davis from the BBC version of the office was Etta WAS a shock.

Is it not true that Gods can be killed:

Ragnarok
“Battle of the Doomed Gods” by Friedrich Wilhelm Heine (1882)Ragnarok (Old Norse Ragnarök, “The Doom of the Gods”) is the name the pre-Christian Norse gave to the end of their mythical cycle, during which the cosmos is destroyed and is subsequently re-created. “Ragnarok” is something of a play on words; an alternate form, which sounds almost identical when spoken, is Ragnarøkkr, “The Twilight of the Gods.” The significance of this variation will be discussed below.
But first, here’s the tale itself….”
Norse mythology is one of the few that has that happen. I’m just started on a new scholarly work about Irish mythology (2016), a subject which has fascinated me since I was nine. Good, but a little bit too cautious, IMO. He seems overly worried about making firm deductions from the evidence — archaeology, religious texts, literary works, etc.

But the Greeks didn’t do things that way. They didn’t kill off their Olympians. Though the Olympians overthrew the previous pantheon, the Titans (Prometheus was one of them).
Ares was sometimes made fun of by the other gods, and was never depicted anything close to the most powerful. He wasn’t really all that respected by Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Demeter, Athena and company.
