OMG that's totally awesome, Matt.
Marvel Universe: Infinite Chrises
Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
The Wonder Woman pilot is quite easy to find online.
In this case I'm willing to accept the general consensus. No need to torture myself.
That's a great story, Matt.
If you're gonna make an awful WW pilot, you gotta be prepared for the nerds to rant at you. Or any comic pilot, really. Nerds rant, it's what we do. Don't be so sensitive, Mr. Kelley.
Zen FTW.

I'm mostly handwavy with things I don't like in the MCU, but that Sudden Useful Plot Twist made me grind my teeth. I could rant like a nerd about why, but I'll spare you.
Given the traditional vulnerability of spy families, it just seemed too blasé of Clint to say "Oh, Fury promised me they wouldn't be in any of the records." And I know what the fate of that family was in the comic books.
It would have been funnier to try and hide them all in a ratty apartment building in Bed Stuy--though we would have missed the wood chopping scene.
