Gal Gadot has the WRONG physique of Wonder Woman from the comics


So months after the news of Gadot's (mis)casting as Wonder Woman, her defenders (who are largely made up of fashion industry fanatics that want androgynous looking women to be as much in the media as possible) kept claiming that either she was completely right for the role as she was or that she will be just fine after she has some "intense" physical training and she will look totally different when all is said and done.

Well, after all was said and done, Gadot participated in the "Ice Bucket Challenge" so this was a very recent image of her and this is how she looked after all that "intense" physical training:

There she is in her noodle arms, chicken legs and her almost completely flat chest glory much to the delight of fashion industry fanatics.

There is a IMDB member who claimed that she looks just like how Wonder Woman does in the New 52 in some thread he/she started. Funny, since this is Wonder Woman in the New 52:

No noodle arms, chicken legs or flat chest to be found.

And even in those cases where some artist did draw Wonder Woman as some anorexic fiend, it doesn't prove anything because there are artists who get it wrong like when Rob Liefeld did this infamous drawing of Captain America:

Just because Rob Liefeld did Captain America with that bizarre looking upper body doesn't mean that's how he should be in a live action movie.

Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is one of the worst casting decisions in Hollywood and proof of the unfortunate influence of the fashion industry over mainstream media.

Casting Gal Gadot in the same role as Lynda Carter is like casting Toni Collette as Cleopatra. On no planet is Gadot in the same league as Lynda Carter or Liz Taylor.

Here is novel idea; if what yo miss is Lynda Carter as WW, then why you don't you just watch her shows and let us who enjoy Gal Gadot enjoy her as WW

My opinion is preventing that???

Not many women have the physique of Wonder Woman from the comics. Lynda Carter, sure. Maybe some supermodel types like Elle MacPherson of the eighties and nineties.

Oh well, at least she was the right colour.. amirite Little Mermaid fans??

Jamie Alexander was my choice and still is my choice for Wonder Woman.

James Gunn is hitting the reset button on the DCEU.IDK if he'll get the casting right tho. Gal was miscast.
