      she was stiff in WW too, but it worked because the whole side plot was that she’s never met human beings and doesn’t know how to interact with them. also she’s like a demigod so being devoid of emotions doesn’t look that weird on a character like that. they played to their strengths.

      most issues with movies about acting are actually issues about casting. i love Keanu, but he’s also stiff. but that worked perfectly his best roles: johnny mnemonic, constantine and of course neo. even john wick worked mostly because he’s built up for the first half of the movie as a mythical, inhuman force of nature.

      so yeah for that particular rendition of wonder woman, great choice: she looks like a demigod; she acts like she’s never seen a human before. perfect.

      for anything else, please kill me so i don’t have to suffer through this scene.
