WONDER WOMAN 1984 Is Not A Sequel And Will Be A Standalone Adventure
- Thread starter Cpt-GargameL
- Start date
Far as I'm concerned, there is no DCEU anymore. Just stand alone films where you might get a cameo from time to time.
Ok, I love DC and WW but this is just stupid. Not a sequel but all the characters from the previous film are in it? Are we supposed to disregard everything that happened?
You're reading into it too much. It is a sequel.
Steve isn't randomly going to just be alive. There's going to be a reason why he is back.
I loved the first one so them telling me it isn't going to be like the first one makes me less interested in this.
I think the first film being a success is pretty much a happy accident. It's obvious that they have no fucking idea what they are doing.
So uh... why are they trying to distance from the original film? Better yet, does anyone at DC have any idea what they're doing? I was interested in the film, but everything I've heard about it is so confusing that it will take a lot to get me in a theater to see it at this point...
When you're an artistic visionary and not someone making superhero movies.
The original Wonder Woman sits in a weird place for the DC films because it was a well received movie sandwiched in between a couple poorly received ones. With Shazam and Aquaman clearly being positioned as the start of the "New DCEU" as it were, I can see them feeling like they have to try and distance WW84 from what came before. Even it that includes its own prequel. Especially when people aren't quite ready to be receptive to DC's films again (look how quickly people started breaking out the old "they don't know what they're doing!" posts in here over a bad interview).
I do think it's a bit silly, though. People liked the first Wonder Woman. Just lean into that and ignore the movies that surrounded it.

Yeah the Indiana Jones movies are sequels.
I don't know why they don't want to call it a sequel. If it's like the Indiana Jones movies then WW84 IS a sequel.
Temple of Doom is completely standalone, it could be watched before Raiders.
There is almost nothing that attaches it to Raiders.
"With different tv and movie universes and us rebooting everything ever 5 years, who gives a shit about continuity?"
DC reboots there comic universe so much why not do the same with the movies.
Besides better to distance themselves from all the grim dark shit

It's not a sequel but instead it is a sequel !
that's because Temple of Doom is a prequel

Most people aren't even aware of that. There is nothing that makes Doom a prequel, aside from a blink and you'll miss it time date at the start of the opening credits.
It's deliberately done so because that's how the 30's adventure serial was
Makes me wonder how Winter Soldier would be with the same reasoning: Cap just walking around 50 years later with Bucky in casual clothes... like nothing happened, talking about cell phones and Youtube... just an unrelated adventure fighting Serpent Society.
That's just weird
That's just weird
If it's not a sequel can Wonder Woman get a main theme that isn't actually shit? That'd be great thanks.
Fuuuuuck this opinion. The main theme to Wonder Woman is the best one going in super hero movies rn.
