Woman of Tomorrow — the graphic novel the movie is based on — is excellent. It would take a special kind of skill to fuck it up. Whether the director blew it, audiences are still sexist chuds, or nobody wants to have anything to do with a shitty company like WB who is being monopolistically acquired by actual nazis… the character and story deserve better.

    Yeah, but that's part of the problem. Adaptation to screen requires creating a manuscript to match. Usually a lot gets left out, bastardized and/or homogenized.

    Also writers in Hollywood are severely abused creatures (similarly to the "Call of Duty" mines in gaming), who get micromanaged and edited to death - so that also stands to reason.
