This, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever, who the fuck thought it was a good idea ?
Comics definitely do that, they're a damn mess lol. Another thing I love about the MCU, it distills everything down to a single continuity. You don't need to look up a reading order to understand what the hell is going on. Just watch the movies in the order they came out. Simple.
And while it's true that a good movie is a good movie, it's also true that a good superhero movie in a 20-movie series that has little winks and nods to other movies in that series is more enjoyable to me. It just is, I dunno what else to say. In 2019 I have way less motivation to see a cape movie that isn't connected to anything else.
The frustrating thing is that there is no reason that DC couldn't have the exact same thing going for it. Hell it could be even better, since WB actually has all of the rights to their A-listers. Batman and Superman are fucking monstrous properties, the cinematic universe could be legendary. But nooo, now we're back to just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. Fucking hell.
Some filmmakers are really fucking weird. They get something in their heads about the meaning behind their creative vision or whatever and then say shit like this. This is the sort of stuff you should keep to yourself or wait until an audio commentary or something.
It's a sequel. It takes place after the first movie. The first movie didn't just not happen. Technically all the DCEU has happened they just want to forget the bad ones (impossible). So unless he is saying the approach is to not produce the movie with the thought "this is a sequel", I guess.
Dude, it's a sequel.
Dude, it's a sequel.
The amount of MCU movies which are considered more interesting than Dark Knight are still extremely low, aren't they?
I really don't get how what happened before doesn't matter is so confusing.
You survived 4 Spidermen just fine.
The only question is Trevor, if the movie ignore the first one and treat Trevor as if he never died, or this is WW first meeting with Trevor, again, than that would be really weird and confusing.
Now I'm more enticed to discover what they're doing with Steve Trevor. Is this what they're trying to do with their audience?
Because people are already using this as an excuse to shit on it before it comes out.
Nah, WW was a success. Everyone wants it to do well. This is just confusing and amusing.
Kind of a weird approach when it has the same characters.
I get they want to tell a different story without having to be bound with tying to the first film or BvS, but this is a surprising approach to that.
What other film franchise keeps most elements the same but makes an effort for it to just be another stand alone movie than a sequel? The Bond films?
It's going to be really weird to see Steve Trevor alive in a completely different decade with no acknowledgement of that discrepency. It will be like the Fox X-Men movies.

I'm going to assume that this will be a soft reboot. That everything that happened in the first Wonder Woman movie will still have happened, but certain details will be changed.
Like, Batman vs Superman kinda forced Steve Trevor to be in WW1 so they went with that in the first Wonder Woman movie but, in the not-a-sequel-but-totally-a-sequel, maybe they'll change it so it was Steve's grandfather instead and he just looks like him.
I'm going to assume, as well, that they'll change what happened with the gods. The idea that Ares was the only god alive kinda sucks, so maybe they'll change it so she still fought Ares in WW1 but he never wiped out all the others thousands of years prior to the movie.
Plus if Poseidon is still around you can use that in an Aquaman sequel and maybe even have Wonder Woman in it too.
A weird interpretation of sequel. I mean it can be a separate story but still a sequel provided it is a continuation of some sort, in this case of the character herself.
That doesn't seem to be the case. They mention "intervening years" so this is a sequel, just one that doesn't involve a continuation of the previous story.
But why since it was they most popular movie out of all the other DC one
this is totally something that should be retconned, yeah. It was stupid.
are they trying to distance themselves from the MCU? Because lots of movies are sequels (I.e. have characters from previous movies and exist in the same 'universe') without being a direct continuation - lik Indiana Jones etc.
It's only really recent years and specifically MCU that is doing any particular sense of continuity.
So in comparison to MCU it's not the same, but in every real sense of the term it's a sequel.

This sounds really dumb. Like maybe the first Wonder Woman was a fluke. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but good lord, this and that Steve Trevor is coming back is just so bizarre.

Maybe it's an excuse to just bring Steve Trevor back since people liked him so much so making this "a new take" on Wonder Woman is a way to bring back Steve Trevor and potentially not kill him in this new movie in order to continue using him? Idk just thinking.
Gonna be realm funny when's loki is in Thor 4 and Killmonger is in BP 2.
Like the DCEU needs anymore complications, Aquaman got the ship back on course, don't start doing weird shit and fuck it up again.
I'm hoping it's just them trying to make it sound like something different, but really it will still be a sequel, just with it's own storyline, at a different point in time.

If they mean it doesn't follow directly from the original's story of WWI monsters, but it's still in the same universe and Diana and Steve are still there, that's a sequel. If it's literally disconnected from all previous DCEU films, then they have themselves an Evil Dead2 situation where that gets murkier
I'll wat h it because Wonder Woman was great but this is some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard. The entire movie the majority of the audience will be scratching their heads wondering why the movie doesn't explain how Pine is still alive as I'm assuming the first movie won't be referenced at all. The vast majority won't know this is a standalone film because we are the minority. Weird choice
