Wake Up And Get Real: Wonder Woman's Makeover (VIDEO)

Posted: 07/02/2010 9:30 am

Legend has it that Kelly and Justine had a vision in an upstate NY forest of a giant Jackalope leaping through a starburst and knew the time had come for a talk show that would express the views that aren't on THE VIEW. They knew there were others who wanted to wake up and get real too, and so "Wake Up And Get Real" (WUAGR) was born.

This week the cross-country pal take on Wonder Woman's recent makeover, saying the superhero's look went from "Paris to Poughkeepsie." What do you think?

She lost her powers in the 60s for 4 years and then got them back. What is with this? Making her powerless every 40 some odd years? Not cool. As for her dress, who cares, does it matter? It is the message, not the dress.

The New Wonder Woman's costume looks like she beat up Black Canary & stole her outfit.

I don't think the values that wonder woman was created to embody exist in our society at large.

I only clicked on to see the Jackalope; now nursing disappointment with Herradura.

We'll see how this all turns out.

DC tried to totally revamp Superman a while back; new costume and powers. Didn't last too long.

While campy, her skin-tight classic suit is immediately recognizable and instantly identifies the character. Not sure the fans will like the change.

I love WW's new look. Much more suited to an action star and less the sex bomb. Who could fight while being worried that your chest is going to pop out?

If you've seen pictures of the woman who'll be playing wonder woman in the new film, then trust me, you don't want anything covering her up.

I may be going against everyone else, but I like it. If you think of it in terms of her being comfortable while fighting and not having to worry about anything falling out, the new look wins hands down.

" Urban-Club " bent shoulders of a tall girl forced to look shorter look is not
the red blooded RED WHITE and BLUE Wonder Woman .

DC Comics is grooming Wonder Woman for a movie franchise. They believe that a Wonder Woman who doesn't look so American will be more appealing to international audiences.

***DC Comics is grooming Wonder Woman for a movie franchise. They believe that a Wonder Woman who doesn't look so American will be more appealing to international audiences***

If that's the case, they may as well create an entirely new female superhero for an international audience.

What's up the 30 second product endorsement of Mulberry Power superfruit?

She was fighting in a busty spanx before. Could never take that seriously. Glad of the update. Seems way more practical. What I am mad about is that the revamped her story so it's more like Superman's. What, can't be original? It's only a female superhero, I guess. No one cares very much about them.

Wonder Womans story has been revamped 2 before..
She is the FIRST woman Hero comic book..
She changes with the times occasionaly, what's important is that
she can remain the hero to a new batch of little girls who want to grow up into a amazon..

GO AMAZONS!!!
(I am upset over the destruction of the Amazon Isle tho)

I was being snarky, J the Red:)

I love Wonder Woman. Always will.

Personally, I'm a little miffed by the countless Spiderman, Batman and Superman (not to mention other male superhero movies we keep being subjected to) and no one can figure out how to make a Wonder Woman movie (not that I'm not a little afraid as to how one would turn out - I'm thinking perhaps Kathyn Bigelow would be a director I would be pleased with).

I love you Kelly but the "Barbie" Wonder Woman look had to go. Hot pants in Stars and Stripes? That headband, YUK! I love the hip real girl look. Not with you on this one sweetie.

The costume looks a lot better in the actual comic. Stop looking at the awful sketch that has been floating around.
