The Untold Truth Of Wonder Woman's Costume
video description
Contralto of Danger: Thanks to Gal Gadot's serious and confident voice.
Cool Sword: She uses magical swords as her weapons of choice. More specifically at the time of World War 1 she wields a sword called Godkiller, a gift to her people from Zeus to protect them from Ares. The hilt is adorned with two dragon heads biting the blade. It is eventually revealed that Diana herself IS the god killer, the sword was just a conduit to her powers and gets destroyed effortlessly by Ares.
Cultured Badass: She is a Cunning Linguist, and knows her Greek classics. As Diana Prince, she is an art restorer/curator working at the Louvre museum in Paris.
Cute Bruiser: She's one of the most attractive females in the universe and, during World War 1, was a sincere, kind idealist, but also one of the strongest heroes alive. For long portions of the fight against Doomsday, she's the only of the three heroes actively participating, and she survives the fight without a scratch on her plus I'm just glad Diana finally looks like a warrior of Greece.

Gal Gadot Varsano as Diana Prince better known as Wonder Woman has the second largest bust of all the heroines in the DC Universe and since there are only a handful of heroines that are stronger than her, she is almost guaranteed to be the hardest hitting female in any team up plus Her original costume had knee-length star-spangled culottes that looked like a skirt unless she was in action. This was revised to the familiar star spangled short shorts and a strapless halter top. Over time it became a leotard and a corset with varying amounts of cleavage, and was otherwise not protective wear. Even within the comics through all sorts of redesigns they've experimented with adding pants and fully covered armor, but often revert to something closer to the classic appearance due to fan outrage of changing the costume too much (making her look like a generic female warrior rather than Wonder Woman. The DC Extended Universe included a Grecian/Roman inspired combat skirt that ended up well received, emphasizing the heritage of the outfit both in the comics lore and in real world comics history then Adaptational Curves: Right Side Up then Inversed In the comics, Wonder Woman is curvaceous with a hint of muscle. Here, she's got more of a swimmer's build then Alliterative Name: Wonder Woman. Applies to the actress who portrays her as well! Gal Gadot Varsano was born to play the character and then Chest Insignia: The upper part of her outfit is shaped like an eagle, or two juxtaposed W, alternatively Finally of course The Chick: Diana has the strength of a superhero, but at the same time, she's loving, sophisticated, and has a lot of emotional intelligence with these 4 qualities such as:

Honestly I hate the over-representation of the sword and shield. Wonder Woman is a character that was known for many decades for her defensive weapons (guantlets/bracers, lasso, and her tiara, which writers seem to have forgotten also serves as a weapon or tool, because while she is a powerful superhero, she was also a seeker of peace. Not only is having her constantly walking around with a clunky sword and shield bothersome, it also takes away from the diplomatic peace seeking image. At times writers have tended to go with a more Xena vibe for her, than actually Wonder Woman, forgetting what she is supposed to represent.
I don't mind the battle skirt and armor top, I just dislike how the sword and shield seems to have over-shadowed her traditional armor as well as the over-use of them.
George Perez did a lot to propel Wonder Woman into become a powerhouse, however, DC with their constant reboots, or hack writers who do not understand Wonder Woman has led that character to undergo some mind boggling changes and experiences. I wish that George Perez could come back to writing Diana. We need writers and directors who know and respect her as a character and her characterization.

Wonder woman does not wear a costume, nor does any superhero. They wear uniforms. These uniforms are functional, practical and distinctive. People wearing these uniforms are instantly recognizable as part of these particular squads.
Costumes are worn by people attending fancy dress parties, such as Halloween or New year's eve fetes. They're not meant to be practical or functional. They're just for show.
For example, the capes of both superman and Batman seem to be superfluous. Yet each is capable of deflecting weapons, from both the wearer and people they try to protect.
So yeah, call them what they are, uniforms. Costumes are for fun. :)

It's laughable how wrong Looper is about the origins of Wonder Woman's costume in 1941 and it's an acknowledged fact that it came for William Marston's fetishes not patriotism. The rope, bracelets, bustier, and knee high boots were well known to the S/M subculture of the era and H G Peter was just the illustrator that was hired to do the drawings. At the time comics could print images that were banned in films, that it wasn't unusual for a female character to be tied up or even Flash Gordon's Dale Arden was drawn being whipped in a semi nude state.

no confusion. they used a metal bustier to make it look like she had boobs, which none of the amazons had.
I loved the movie, but lets call it what it was. they didn't even consider women with breasts over a c cup. obiously the message was 'a woman with large breasts is either incompetent or incapable of being a heroic role model. '
it's ok to depict skinny flatchested women as heroic, or overweight women as heroic.
but healthy, strong, busty women? obviously CAN'T be.
sorry, that's just how it looks

I am very happy Gal Gadot is wonder woman, she is gorgeous and totally fits the part. Secondly, thank you for posting this video as it helps people that don't know much about the character understand why the movie didn't go all patriotic with her outfit. I am glad they didn't give her a cheesy stars and strips costume and did something more bad-ass. So many people were giving her costume crap because of that but hopefully this video will expose how silly getting upset about that is.

I've always taken the current movie design of WW to be a nod/ inspired by her Hellenic conections to the Hoplite armour worn in ancient greek times. Her Lore I don't know how long has had a major re-focus to actual full on greek mythology and it was fantastic to see the movie embrace wholly. All this gender obsession aside THAT is what makes this one of my fav super hero movies all the ties to mythology. also I freaking adore period movies so its a 2 for one film for me lol

Watch Professor Marston and the Wonder Women it will blow your mind. Its about the inspirations of Wonder Woman. True Story. Also he was in a Polyamorous relationship and the women he was in the relationship with inspired Wonder Woman. They also invented the lie detector. William Molten Marston, Elizabeth Marston, and Olive Byrne.
Watch the film, its super interesting and engaging. These people were way ahead of their time.

She didn't cut her hair in the 90's. It was a wig. It didn't instantly grow back like is said here. That wig was actually shown in later issues when Cassie stole the wig and a gauntlet of power and became the new Wonder Girl. Cassie ended up being the daughter of Zues, who gave Cassie powers. That since has been changed but I think that's where the idea started forming to make Diana the daughter of Zues.
