Woah. I can’t believe I never realized this, but none of these are the “sexy female superhero pose” poster. Upper left-hand is the closest, but doesn’t show off her ass or boobs.
Most female superheroes get stuck in this pose where they show off their butt and cleavage instead of just looking badass. Wonder woman’s still forms to her body without being too sexy. And in her posters, she isn’t forced to pose sexy. She gets to pose like a male superhero.
I also read somewhere about how unusual (compared to most recent superhero movies) it is that in most of the posters for Wonder Woman, she is the only person in it
(this is actually the first time I’ve seen posters where she’s not solo)
Superhero movie posters are often very busy, with much of the supporting cast featured, especially if its the first film in that franchise (see: Iron Man, Spider Man Homecoming, Captain America the First Avenger, Thor)
But here, almost every poster is Diana, front and centre, carrying the entire image by herself
I’ll take it a step further… I find those wonder woman posters sexy, and i’ll bet a lot of people sexually interested in women do too…
But she isn’t sexualized… sometimes we forget that these two aren’t the same thing…
Not to mention they are some of the best movie posters we’ve seen in a long time
If Marvel is humans becoming gods, DC is gods becoming human. And this is that done right. This reminded me of what’s wonderful about DC and why its characters are still timeless. When done correctly, it blends myth with reality, the ordinary with the extraordinary, mortal with immortal. It’s the closest we have to current Greek mythology. It’s honest. It’s powerful. It lasts forever. This is the movie that made me remember why I love DC in the first place.
