We have seen Halle butcher both Storm, and Catwoman.

Storm is the premiere black superheroine. Angela Bassett should have gotten that role.

Wonder Woman is the premiere superheroine.

I already have misgiving about skinny Gal Gadot.

We should be getting this.

Instead, we will have to settle for this.

At 5'3", Kim Kardashian is way too short to play an Amazon Princess.

In the comics, Wonder Woman is also the Greek Goddess of War.
I mostly agree on your wonder woman preference doc.

I think angela might have been too old to play storm though.
I was ok with halle playing storm. The part didn't appear to be demanding. In fact lupita would have been ideal imho.

For such an important character, Storm was treated rather insignificantly in the films.

IMO, Halle was not a great Storm.

I think Angela would have done much better, even with the under the minimum screen time the character received.

As you well know, black don't crack, Sir Snidely.

Like WW, Storm is a tall & powerful woman. Both heroines are imposing, physically. I think Angela would have been fine provided she kept the conditioning she had when she played Tina Turner.

Lupita may have been too young back then. She could work now, but the X-Men film continuity is a mess.

I really want Lupita to play Shuri, who like her brother, is also called the Black Panther.

It was whack not giving Storm a better storyline.

Storm is supposed to have an African accent, at the very least.

I just checked, Angela Basset is only 5'4" while Storm is 5'11".

Oh well, Wolverine is 5'3" in the comics while Hugh Jackman is 6'2".

I should deactivate my geek mode now.

Basically all the X Men played second fiddle to Wolverine in those movies. They even screwed up the Phoenix saga putting him front and center

Must.....resist.....urge to......rant about that......!

On a much brighter note, the main version of Wolverine is still dead in the comics.

Thank goodness for Mickey Mouse sticking it to Fox.

Right.

Wonder Woman is the strongest superheroine and she's stonger than most of the men, except Superman, I think. She's definitely stronger than The Hulk, Hercules, Batman, Aquaman, etc.

That's why I think they should have a woman who looks the part. I don't care if her strength is supposed to be magical, I would still prefer to see someone who's both sexy and buff.

dunno
but we talking about motion picture


... all dat buff could translate to stiffness and no beauty in motion required for a successful action movie and very important to the movie director


i don`t know much about the 2 ladies above

i suspect the director will always go with the more fluid actress

...just saying
rock solid yeah!!

rigid like a rock ...dat one 2

ps:

me...
going midway... Angeline Jolie will do ok

Bro...
That's exactly where they fucked up at. To the point where they started killing key xmen off. Wolverine was always the one who saved the day. Fantasia four and avengers did a better job at actually making a group the main character
