Pattern Ghost

I also read that with WW2, the Nazis are so clearly the evil to be vanquished and Wonder Woman's fight ends up being against just one faction of the conflict. Whereas with WW1, there are no clear good guys and bad guys, just misguided leaders and idealistic soldiers; her battle is with all men, not just one faction of them. This makes for a much stronger feminist statement.

I believe you nailed it, PG. Steve Trevor in that trailer isn't exaggerating when he called this, "the War to end all wars." That's one of the ways his contemporaries referred to it. They truly believed modern (for them) warfare had grown so terrible, no nation would ever want to wage a major war again. A whole generation of young men was traumatized by the Great War, those who survived it anyway. Patriotism was deeply stained by the petty greed or fear which fueled much of the conflict. Romanticism over war drowned in the mud of the trenches.
 
Diana's commentary at the start of this trailer implies that her own idealism was shattered by her experiences in Man's World, the implicit reason for her long absence from world affairs. WWI works better for that purpose than WWII, which at least in hindsight had a moral dimension. If handled right that also has the potential for a more interesting character story, one we haven't seen before in a superhero movie.

We've seen that WW turned her back on the World of Man at some point in BvS. World War I is perhaps a better motivator for that than WW II, which was much more black and white. That's the main reason I can think of for the change of venue.

Did you guys notice? Some of the scenes had COLOR! 
 
This could revolutionize the DC movie verse...

Ha, I posted before I viewed, and our line is soooo similar!

A Ghost Rider series would have to be Netflix to be done right.  
 
And I'm completely on board with that idea.

They kind of predicted it in an episode of Black Mirror. Waldo was a bit more respectable though.

It may not be a great theory, but seems to fit in with the show's general level of writing.

Sorry, hard to tell these days. I mean, just look at the election. I thought they were kidding us, but I'm not sure now.

A quick scan doesn't seem to show any editor specific data though.

I'd settle for just one decade of an impartial court.

I kind of see it as his application for the position of Fox News commentator.

I'm well aware of him. The name remains lame, hence the joke.

Plus someone has to be Doctor Alchemy.

Or in this case, you can't wait for them to grow up and get out of the house.
