We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm just not buying this guy's argument: We Don’t Need No Stinking Wonder Woman Movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
MAKE A SINGLE CLEAR STORY. You're writers. Throw something together.
Wonder Woman is more famous than Iron Man or Captain America was. She sustained a TV show that many boys (and more than zero girls) pubesced watching.
Pick a story. Don't leave out too much--lets have Amazons and a pantheon and Themyscira. She might be part of the DC trifecta, but I'd wager more people know Supes is an alien who works as a reporter and Batman's parents are dead. For them it's a big deal. Look at what the Perez-drawn reboot did. Why can't that version be made into a movie, even without using any of her Men's World stories from then, just the way he scrubbed up the backstory for a reboot?
Give her an adventure, don't be chicken about mentioning feminism and having a woman fighter and leader. That should not be so hard in 2013.

He seems to be of the opinion that everything since her original run is wrong/bad/untrue to the character. (Though he seems to have no issues with the fact that Batman and Superman have been reinvented over the years as well.)
