Why is having Wonder Woman in the movies so important?
"Wonder Woman" promises to be one of the big blockbusters of this year

A television movie, three seasons of a series and an animation. until the production of "Wonder Woman", movie of Justice League, won dozens of adaptations for TV, cinema and even games of the most varied consoles. 6n3i2n

But the fact that a blockbuster of this dimension being produced today signals that the industry is opening paths – although not many – for strong female protagonists. Therefore, it can be speculated that this film has the potential to be a milestone in superhero cinema. Check out some reasons:

Representativeness 3i2d2d

As children, boys are encouraged to be adventurers and scientists, while girls are given toys associated with home care and motherhood. In addition, a study published in Science shows that, as early as 7 years old, girls feel less likely to feel brilliant than boys, even if they recognize that they are more dedicated to school.

According to the researcher Lin Bian, from the University of Illinois and lead author of the research, “this is likely to affect women’s professional aspirations.” In other words, since childhood, women feel less qualified to pursue careers considered complex, such as Physics.

Therefore, having a strong female character, capable of saving humanity, is a very relevant instrument to break, to some extent, gender stereotypes. It's giving confidence, just like they did Rey e Star Wars, for the girls that they can do whatever they want. And more: showing boys that girls are not inferior or weaker because they are girls.

The most ionate comic book readers know that the figure of Wonder Woman is quite sexualized in the comics. Just look at the covers of most of the stories in which she is a protagonist, especially in the early years: she is always imprisoned or gagged. Knowing that the educational consultant who changed the character's paths was a fetishist, you can understand why.

However, the heroine was solely responsible for breaking free from the chains, a metaphor for oppression. This idea was partly inspired by the abolitionist campaigns of the early part of the century, as well as the women's suffragette movement.

In view of the actress's uniform Gal Gadot, the issue of sexualization must still be present in the 2017 production. However, the character will certainly once again be a symbol of liberation.

Esperança 1t1i53

Wonder Woman is a self-confident, tolerant and comionate character. She came from a faraway land to defend and protect the values ​​of humanity because she recognizes that there is something good left to save. She is an example of posture, especially if we take into the political, economic and social turmoil around the world. It is, therefore, a hope.
