Wonder Woman, in your satin tights, fighting for your rights... in your starry baby diaper...
The 2017 film got the costume right. I did make jokes about an Alfa Romeo grill and all that, but just like with SUPERGIRL, she could be taken seriously. While Lynda Carter does look really great in the TV outfit, she doesn't appear to be, uhm, street-legal. She seems like a total nut-case running about albeit in spectacular form. But one skip away from the funny farm. Unfortunately that is how it is.
That said, I'm about to go to the last disc of Season One (yes, no specialist on the subject matter just yet) but the gigantic drawback of this show is the boring boring boring other characters. Steve Trevor, oh snore! Etta Candy, more snore! And Diana Prince (yes, Diana Prince (when she is Yeoman Prince)) bored snores galore! Gets really awful to watch with these drones buzzing about. Ah, there's Wonder Woman going through a transformation spin again, but aw, then it's back to boring old has beens again... endlessly. Endlessly. I'd complain about ridiculous storylines too, but the whole concept is ridiculous of course WITH THE PROBLEM BEING that they couldn't really get the show to fly. It's an idea taken on on a limited budget, and that shows.
Yes, Lynda Carter shows considerable heart. There is oodles of that. But try peddling this to the young generation of today. They'd laugh in your face. This looks wacky without being wacky, it's really just one big failure that made it because it was so different, so ahead of its time. But now? Watching it today you feel like a fool.* When it came to that gorilla episode, well, my patience got severely buckled and I'm still not over it past old Andros with his whistling lips.
*yet I don't feel like a fool when watching SUPERGIRL (2015). Okay, that's not quite true... :) Unfair comparison? No, I'm really talking about some really laughable cheapo plot devices in this one, stuff that was corny even back then in 1975. That awful gorilla suit, for one... I could never forgive that...!
Ridiculous times ten thousand. Looks good in that outfit, but don't stand in front of the window like that, honey. Go out in the street, are you daft...?
