Rate Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman (1-10)

I take you have seen all her FF movies? Didn't like her in those films?

From Wiki on Gal Godot:

She served for two years as a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces.^[1] She is an avid motorcycle rider and owns a black 2006 Ducati Monster-S2R.^[7] She also plays in volleyball, basketball and tennis teams. While starring in the Fast & Furious films, she does all her own stunts.^[8] She says "I think the main reason was that Justin Lin really liked that I was in the military, and he wanted to use my knowledge of weapons

WOW, not just a pretty face !!!

I don't want trash.

For real though I've never watched past part 2, though I hear they've been actually sort of good for the part couple movies. Those movies will never be my cup of tea either way, I really don't care about cool cars driving fast.

I HAVE seen her in her part though, and she's still crazy skinny, even if she is a little better defined than previous appearances.

So, I've done a little research and apparently, Wonder Woman's been all sizes and weights. She's been anywhere from 5"9' to 6"3', from 122 lbs to 165 lbs. So apparently, Gal Gadot really isn't that far off the mark. We're knee jerking here, people.

No, she look like what ellen degeneres and rosie o'donell want, not what the nerds and movie goers want.

In her facebook fanpage, those isis and hamas lovers always attack her

I hear next in line for the role behind Gal Gadot was a Lovecraftian horror.

There are probably other more reasonable reasons why we shouldn't use just any comic book as a point of reference for character design, but I like this one the best.

whyisthereaWonderWomanmovie?/10

why are discriminating on normal regular slightly slimmer woman? why do women have fit to your standards of muscularity and curviness?

why cant a slimmer woman play a powerful woman role? why does it have to be to your sexualized vision of a muscular curve female?

ROFL

Why not.

Do you even know what discriminating means? Is it discriminating against skinny guys if I say that Spartans in a movie should be played by muscular dudes rather than skinny guys with very little muscular definition?

Gal is not the "perfect height".

Wonder Woman is 6'0" in the comics. 6'3" in heels.

And I'm not sure about the other guys, but Carano looks much closer to the older WW than the newer style. Especially in the face.

Looks sure can be deceiving. I wouldn't normally expect a pretty girl with a skinny body to be an ex-soldier.

If that's true, then she is more than qualified to play Wonder Woman, more so than most of the other actors and actresses who usually play superheroes and superheroines.

Israel bashers =/= ISIS/Hamas lovers. Two different things. Most of the people bashing Israel don't like ISIS or Hamas either. Hell, even ISIS and Hamas hate each other.

Either way, almost every celebrity who expressed an opinion over the last Israel-Gaza conflict has been bashed for it online. There's nothing unusual about that. A lot of people just don't like it when celebrities express political views.

cant you tell that I was trolling you with feminist logic?

Sorry mate, Poe's Law.

Gal gadot in one word - "Multi talented women" ..

she looks average at best

She's an ex-solder. What more needs to be said? Soldiers don't need to look beefy. You can be skinny and toned at the same time. If anything, bulky muscles can slow you down and/or lower your stamina.

Your "feminist logic" makes no sense. A typical "feminist logic" would be more along the lines of "she was only picked just because men prefer pretty skinny girls over muscular women."

First of all, that second part really doesn't make sense. I've never suggested that she should be "bulky," I just think she needs more muscle mass, like at least kind of the way all MMA and UFC fighters are built. But besides that, having a lot of muscle and being in genuinely good shape are not mutually exclusive. Unless you're attempting to do some disgusting body building roid crazy stuff.

Second of all, she's an actress and a model now, not a soldier. Whatever previous profession's she's had, she's ultra thin now, in all of her relevant appearances.

In fact, this whole "she was once a soldier!" thing is basically nonsense. Israel has a mandatory period of service for all citizens, of which she served the minimum, and probably was never sent into combat at any point.

Looks like my 9 year old could kick her ass/10....

you dont know that because you dont live in a muslim dominate society.

In the place I live, those support hamas also support isis ... blindly

@indzman: she's hot, i would have prefered Gina Carano as Wonder Woman though

@hippiesanta:

You're crazy. Lucy/Xena is the best heroine ever. It you ever watched Xena, it felt natural. I cannot say the same for any other female actors who beat up villains and save the world in other movies and TV.

@SaintLeonidas said:

She looks bad ass in the official pic and actually really similar in the face to the cartoon version, which is the only WW I've ever known.

Anyways, I can't rate her as WW. I've seen a picture. Movies are not a single still image. I haven't even seen her in the actual medium, yet alone seen enough to make a judgement.

There are plenty of soldiers who have very little muscle mass. It's not about how much muscle mass you have, but about how toned you are, how much stamina you have, discipline, training, handling weapons, etc. Besides, you can be toned and skinny at the same time. And if stamina is what you're aiming for, then less muscle mass is actually preferable. If you look at champion distance runners, they're often even skinnier than Gal, yet have the most stamina.

And yes, being an ex-soldier gives you more credibility than a random civilian with a more muscular physique. I'd prefer a skinnier actor/actress who has military experience over a more muscular actor/actress with no military experience.

Hamas themselves hate ISIS, so it would be incredibly stupid for Hamas fans to support ISIS... ISIS would annihilate Hamas and their fans the first chance they get. ISIS despises both nationalists and Shiite sympathizers, and Hamas happens to be both.

even though she doesn't have the body for it, generally she's a ten.

Lucy Lawless unfortunately was only made for TV .... not the BIG SCREEN .....

Xena would of been a great movie. And from what I saw, other females actors don't belong in action movies that have them beat up bad guys and save the world.

Lucy Lawless was an actress ... but Gal Gadot is a real life soldier

Thanks for bumping a two and a half year old thread to say so. It take you all that time to come up with this post?

Quoting you on it. YOU WERE RIGHT :D

As long as I'm inb4 lock and having a retrospective look back on this topic, I'd just like to point out that after looking at some Wonder Woman trailers my opinion has at least changed a bit. While I would still prefer they had pulled someone out of /r/hardbodies since my ideal is a woman who can destroy me, Gal Gadot looks decent enough for the part. And Hell, her casting is the goddamn least of DC's worries at this point, after how the last 2 movies turned out.

Cap's costume in Avengers is still terrible though. Like a goofy child's onesie. Looks a lot better after Winter Soldier.

@rdchili96: And you are suspended, with a second strike to boot.
