As a long time WW fan I'm on the boat of "this is just something us longtime fans need to get over."
It's an adaption, things are going to be changed. Change itself isn't bad, you'd think comic book fans would be used to this by now with how much everything changes due to writers. Be it characters, stories or even universes. When you look at movies, tv shows, or even comics based on these superheroes, they're going to be different. Look at Batman, Burton and Nolan's Batman movies were very different than the comics, from the way they handled the stories and characters themselves. Were they bad movies?
Things should be looked at as its own individual thing. Does it do what it sets out to do well and fit within the confines of that story being told? Does it entertain?
You yourself admitted that it would be seen as good if not for knowing about the things it does differently.
p.s.
And this really isn't something to get so worked up over. -

Good call, if everything stayed the same people would be complaining "it's the same old stuff".
When I read G/L comics he and g-Arrow were on earth fighting slum lords & drugs & social problems in the 1960's.
I liked the GL animated series a lot more. Things were different than the 60's thank the Sapphires, and better than I remember them. Gl:TAS is different from the other 2 GL movies & I love them all (except Super Friends).
I am 50 yo w-male & I love Wonder Woman Both the JLU & Linda Carter & what I have seen so far of this movie. I pulled this out when I had an 84 yo woman guest (Mom) & her first reaction was I am not watching dumb crap. I started with the extras on the Blue Ray. Just the story of how Wonder Woman was created & why got her interested. She was in the next room reading & When she heard "And they don't need men" she laughed out loud & sat down to watch. She had been listening to the whole thing & liking what she heard. She was 14 years old when WW came out & never really saw it but understood in the history the crap women were served. We only got about ten minutes in (& were interrupted)but she really likes it!
Just the extras have made this a purchase B-Ray on next order item, I have a Netflix disc. The role she played in womens empowerment/rights needs its own thread but this whole package kicks tail. Young women should least see the extras to see how Mom & Grandmom were treated.
I think they whole Blue Ray DVD is a great package, and so does at least 1 old lady. -

I have to agree. The Misandry is what really bugs me. In George Perez version didn't have Wonder Woman acting like such a bitch. Or Treating Steve Trevor like Sh!t. If this a Wonder Woman live action movie would look like. I sure as hell wouldn't want to see it. Frankly I thought Superman Doomsday was better than this. Sure when they make Super-heroes movies they do wind up changing something. But what matters is if they keep to the core of the character. And in this I don't think they did. That's pretty bad coming from Bruce Timm.

i just want to know why all the hate for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2 before its even out, don't pre-judge a film before its out,
the trailers have given very little away, unlike some trailers.
the only 2 things the trailers HAVE given away is
1- Groot is a teenager
2- Mantis is in the movie
thats it
so give the movie a chance before sh#tting all over it, before its even out
Marvel has a good track record for their movies thus far except for maybe IRON MAN 3 cause they ruined the mandarin for the fans.
so wait for the movie to come out then whinge and complain to your hearts desire. -

Yeah me too. So nice I was surprised at the beginning, thinking, well the trolls didn't come here, but then i remembered i put all of them in ignore at the Doctor Strange Board. I guess they are always the same.

Thank you Thornspike for your answer, i have noticed that the DC fans think that their movies will somehow top Marvel, but Marvel has one advantage, they have been doing this longer than DC and have more experience. Personally i like both Marvel and DC movies despite their flaws, and i don't pre-judge movies until their out and i have seen them too, i bet your the same in a way.
and a thank you to also Ultradog and droideka75 for your postive comments, as you have noticed i already ignored one poster for being a " Idiot " -
