Grump.
So I woke up this morning at 3am on the dot. After I'd read for an hour it became clear that sleep wasn't coming back, so I started wandering around doing stuff. Which is always kind of weird, especially on a Saturday.
(Fun Fact: It is possible to read at a normal rate while doing sit-ups. You live and learn)
Then I went on the internets, and saw the new TV Wonder Woman outfit.
...
I don't really have much invested in Wonder Woman. The old series was before my time, I never got into the comics or cartoons... but still, this irritates me. Because... well, for starters it's way too shiny. Whatever version of Wonder Woman you're going with, I'm pretty certain she doesn't wear PVC. Seriously, the Wonder Woman porn parody* had a better costume than that.
Most of the rest of the internet seems to be fixating on the blue boots (they should, of course, be red. Batman knows this better than any of us), but that's really a minor detail. The costume is wrong at the most basic level. I mean, I'm pretty certain the new Superman movie isn't going to put him in vinyl. Plus, the belt and chest piece look like they're made of plastic.
... Yeah, it appears I actually care about this way more than I should. I blame being up for eight hours without eating anything. Hey, how about that lipstick? Red enough for an Amazonian ambassador?
(Adrianne Palicki herself... eh. Her arms look a bit skinny for the role, but I guess she can work out)
* Yes, there's a Wonder Woman porn parody. I know, I was shocked too. There's also a pornographic performer who operates under the screen name of "Diana Prince"; a quick google search reveals that her blog is, as they say, geektastic. And also very NSFW. Here are her thoughts on the TV casting.
