Wonder Woman has stood the test of time and not because the character is immortal. Her popularity in entertainment has lasted a long time. This blog will only cover the WW of my lifetime and knowledge.
Then 1. Lynda Carter starred on November 7, 1975, in the Wonder Woman television pilot. 2. I watched her on a small screen in-home weekly. 3. Wonder Woman's powers were mostly from her rope, tiara, and bracelets. She was supernaturally strong and fast, but she didn't do a lot of paranormal feats. 4. Her clothing was patriotic with colors of the American flag; similar to a fancy swimming suit. 5. She twirled to change into Wonder Woman from her alter-ego Diana Prince. She did have a weekly villain to fight in-between her day job. 6. Steve Trevor never knew Diana Prince and Wonder Woman were the same person. He crushed on WW but viewed Diana as a co-worker even though she loved him. Now 1. Gal Gadot starred as Wonder Woman in a movie on June 2, 2017. 2. I watched her on the big screen in a theater. 3. Wonder Woman is a badass physical fighter and her supernatural powers are more impressive than the 1970s WW. She also has more weapons than the prior WW. Her sword is brilliant in action and makes me want one. 4. Her clothing is darker-toned and more like a gladiator for sexy cosplay. 5. We never see her change from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman in a supernatural way, but there isn't a need for a quick change. The movies don't show her working a weekly job that gets constantly interrupted so she can fight bad guys in-between. Her fight is against one villain plus minions per movie. 6. Steve Trevor in the newer movie is much cuter than the TV show, and he knows Wonder Woman is Diana Prince. He knows all about her past and who she is. They share their feelings openly. Even though she's immortal and can't be with him forever, their love is worth the heartbreak. My interest through time: I wanted to take Lynda Carter's place after she retired from the TV show because at that age, I didn't understand that programs got canceled. I even asked God to make me beautiful like her. I still follow this fandom in the general sense. I'm totally ignorant in all aspects of the DC or Marvel comic world. I really like the new movies and the book written by Leigh Bardugo, but that's as far as my knowledge goes. I started following Wonder Woman during the Lynda Carter era. I began my pursuit of reaching for big things when I saw her on the screen. Though I didn't become famous for a role as Wonder Woman, I realized that my dreams could change to different ones. Each of us have to find our strengths and nurture them.
