#WonderWoman1984 accomplishes everything that it intended. Set in 1984 for a reason. Revisit the message of Christopher Reeves’ Superman, pls. When superhero movies aspired to be about something bigger than simply being “badass.” When Superhero’s were, yep, more corny than cool.

I am obsessed with #KristenWiig as #cheetah. That force push! Those outfits! The humor. The pain. The rage!!! THE ACTING!!! #ww84 also is there anything more powerful than the bad ass and gorgeous @GalGadot as Diana???
