It embraced heroism.

It was able to use the dark and serious themes the other movies wanted to, but without descending into mean-spirited, joyless angst.

Wonder Woman herself was very charismatic and despite dealing with personal issues and uncertainty, still embodies a particular virtue.

Though I actually enjoyed JL so who knows

Likeable characters.
Coherent story-telling.
An understanding of why people are drawn to these characters in the first place.
Storylines that covered dark concepts, while not being relentlessly grimdark.

Heart. It was a super hero movie, not a grim dark boring storyline. Ending kinda failed, but everything else made up for it.

It starred a female.

literally this is all it took. it could have been a heaping pile of shit, but because of the current socioeconomic climate, it wouldn't have mattered.


and that's why ghostbusters2016 was a success

They largely left the director alone to make her movie.

WB doesn't have the talent Disney does for mixing their input and control with the director's vision(and even Disney gets that wrong sometimes, like with Ant-Man and Age of Ultron), but they hired an extremely talented director, gave her a basic template, and let her do her thing.

I thought it just "got" Wonder Woman a lot better than the other movies "got" Batman or Superman.

I think it's still overrated for what it is, but at least it didn't feel completely tone deaf as to what the hell it was supposed to be.

This is about right. It's only overrated because the other movies were just... garbo.

The movie was actually quite shitty. But because it starred a strong attractive female, it did well.

Same with the success of black panther. Targeted a specific audience in these sjw times.

If Hollywood made a movie consisting of all English speaking Asian actors. It would be a massive flop because we all know white people are racist to Asians.

Eh, whilst TFA had issues, it was overall good, just like WW. You can not say with a straight face that WW had no issues, most if not all of the 3rd act was pretty horrible.

Wonder Woman was a mediocre movie. Good start, but lousy finish.

It was successful because it was new. We've seen Batman and Superman in media for the last 30 years. It was also more friendly toward the female audience, which gained additional support.
