How exactly did she 'steal the show'?

Watched the movie a second time and I don't get it. I thought she was a poorly-casted snooze as WW, but opinions vary (hell, I actually liked eisrnberg's LL.)

So I disliked her performance in BvS, but some people on here who disagree with that opinion go way over the top saying she was the 'best' and 'stole the show.' How in heaven did she steal the show? What moment in your mind convinced you of this? I am truly curious to understand that opinion.

I mentioned this in a post way back when the movie had just released.

She was handled very well in the movie. All her action scenes were basically her coming in and saving Batman and kicking Doomsday's ass. Most of those shots are just her posing and then they switch to a CG model of her which does all the action. Now you have her lower her shield or do a hero pose clubbed with the theme and it makes for a very obvious cue for the audience to cheer in spite of it not actually being performed very well. This creates an illusion of her "stealing the show"
