Hmm, Will Smith's movie girlfriend being black didn't keep me from seeing Independence Day. Though, in retrospect, I wish something had...
Jayne, you'll scare the women.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

brillig
But they weren't counting on Will to carry the movie, I'm betting. He wasn't the big draw he is now, yet, IIRC.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm afraid I do for this - it's not a standard I hold all comic book character adaptations to, but I think the big icons like Wonder Woman and Superman really need to bear a strong resemblance to their original printed sources.
Seriously -- I can't imagine a black Superman, despite how kick-ass Djimon Hounsou could be in the role. (Seriously -- the man has got the physique, no question, and he can even get his Clark Kent on.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think Morena bears a strong resemblance to Wonder Woman. She's got the colouring, but I'd rather see Gina in whiteface (okay, please don't, but I think that'd be closer to looking like WW than Morena even after the Jessica Biel program).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
blonde girlfriends make people nervous
Heh. Don't know if we make people nervous, but we do occassionally get second looks. Not often, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What I really like about the way they've been drawing WW in recent years is they've given her a specific Greek ethnicity, right down to the turn in her nose.

Oh, that means it's Jennifer Garner, for sure!

Who? moi??
Wonder Woman should have a dancer's body. Morena doesn't, Gina Torres does.
