I just hope that he acknowledges Wonder Woman's bondage past.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am confused by this IMDB piece:
Hollywood hunk Mark Wahlberg has slammed Eminem, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for giving a false impression of tough, impoverished childhoods in their music and films. The Planet Of The Apes star has lambasted Damon, his co-star in new movie The Departed, for romanticizing difficult upbringings in Good Will Hunting, his debut film with Affleck. Wahlberg - who blames his assault conviction 17 years ago on his harsh childhood - has also attacked rapper Eminem for idealizing his difficult formative years in his biopic 8 Mile, in an interview with Details magazine. The 33-year-old actor complains, "My childhood wasn't like some 8 Mile bulls**t where you go and have a rap-off. Or like West Side Story, where you all start dancing and s**t. If I make a film about my upbringing it's going to be about more than a f**king kid doing math, like in Good Will Hunting, you know what I mean?"
First off, it doesn't seem like he's harshing on Damon and Affleck, and secondly, why would you harsh on a rapper's semi-autobiographical movie for not being like your life? It's because there was no Funky Bunch, right?

Up with the sun
So he's saying "West Side Story" wasn't realistic? I never would have guessed.

Not only that, but neither Affleck or Damon have ever claimed that their upbringing was remotely like Good Will Hunting. They've always acknowledged they were Cambridge brats.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It sounded impossible that there was someone who needed to get over himself more than Ben Affleck or Eminem, but apparently, there is.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I always thought Jennifer Lopez outdid both of them handily.
I must admit I'm interested in seeing how Eminem reacts to a sniping war in the press with someone who doesn't wear high heels.

If I only had a brain...

You mean 1950s punks didn't dance down the street and have better air time than Michael Jordan?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was going to say. When your mom is a professor and you went to school with Jesse, you probably did not have a tough childhood.
Eminem, I sometimes cannot tell if he is actually that scary/angry, or just the biggest poser in the world. Which I suppose is the whole point of his shtick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
