You're right, sequels rarely equal their predecessors.<br /><br />I think all-female-friendships-turn-to-rivalry is VERY sexist, if it's within the same story where male friendships don't. Now, they do still have all the Amazons cheering each other on at the beginning, so you can't say this movie says all Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-51188303853555998532021-02-03T21:16:53.566-05:002021-02-03T21:16:53.566-05:00R's Rue, definitely one that I think will play...R's Rue, definitely one that I think will play better for some than for others, so making up your own mind is a good idea!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-51128653120562203112021-02-03T11:29:43.100-05:002021-02-03T11:29:43.100-05:00I really liked the first movie, so I do want to se...I really liked the first movie, so I do want to see this one. I've heard it's not as good as the first one, but usually sequels aren't as good, so it's not that surprising. <br />*sigh* I can't stand it when all female friendships in fiction turn into rivalry. Not only is it annoying, but it's also kind of sexist.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who was bothered by her arc being basically the same.<br /><br />I think people who enjoyed the first one would also enjoy this, because it's similar? I do know some people were weirded out by the way that Steve Trevor came back, though.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-66613161088156740392021-02-01T10:19:29.131-05:002021-02-01T10:19:29.131-05:00A lot of the YouTube reviewers I like to follow ha...A lot of the YouTube reviewers I like to follow had the same concerns--that Wonder Woman wasn't allowed to evolve/grow as a character beyond the last movie, and that she wasn't allowed to have a genuine relationship with another woman (or really with anybody beyond Steve Trevor??) <br /><br />I loved the first movie, and I'm kiiiiiiind of curious to see this one, but also not.
