I dunno. Women who have to normally be fit... sometimes tend to not show so much till some good time later. It wouldn't be out of the realm for her to not show much of anything for 2 or 3 months. They'll be fine.
Shit. I've a friend who isn't athletic at all but found out she was 4 months pregnant about 2 months ago. You couldn't even guess that she was.

In other news, Gal Gadot would like Halle Berry to be Wonder Woman's first on-screen female love interest:

Depends what they need to shoot and what angles they need. They could get around her pregnancy regardless of her stage. ScarJo was very pregnant during the filming of Age of Ultron.

In the Walking Dead threads it has become a bit of a running joke whenever we bitch about something unbelievable (such as a van falling off an overpass and landing on its wheels or a character being hit by a speeding car and being fine the next week), somebody retorts with "but, but, but ... Zombies!"

Dang. Someone's taking it personal.

Seems like it'd be a pointless thing to add on to whatever else the film property needs to be worth a damn. But the mere mention of Berry and I know nothing worth a damn can come from it.

Over 75 years, WW is NOT Bi-Sexual and one editor/writer make her that way, now the movies have to follow suit.

Diana was raised on an island populated by only women. It's highly likely that she (along with others of said population) had same-sex relations at some point.

I would say that any and all societies would experience some level of homosexuality or bi-sexuality. Heck, all kinds of sexuality. But I think the argument here is that Amazons (generally) are homosexual. Or at least bi-sexual. But, from a Greek mythological perspective, Zeus created the Amazons and I doubt he'd be inclined to make a society of women that he'd be precluded from consorting with. Also, in mythology, the Amazons would visit a nearby tribe called Gargareans, have sex like wild, then go home to have children. I don't know, maybe Zeus mixed up the sauce when making Amazons and they came out lesbians. Or maybe they "turned into" lesbians over time? Both options seem ridiculous to me. Better to assume that Amazons, like every other society have homosexuals among their population. From there, the question is "is Wonder Woman one of them?" Comics history and continuity suggest she isn't. But heck, this is fiction. If it's a good story...right? From there, the question is "is this a good story?" The jury is still out on that one.

Yeah, I don't get the whole "backlash" over her partaking of bush. 75 years later - the character has to change it up a bit. Signs of the times.

Fury Road may be the most overrated movie of this decade. It makes Road Warrior look like Citizen Kane.
The trailer resembles a bog-standard Hollywood action vehicle which just so happens to feature the most famous female superhero of all time. That sells, so I am not doubting WB's choices with Wonder Woman.
My gut tells me many people that haven't liked DC's movies of late will enjoy it. This is one case in which the retro time setting will help a great deal.
I wonder if there will be any DC fan service in it beyond WW herself. There are a number of DC characters that could pop up in that time frame.

Sorry, the sarcasm wasn't evident. I actually agree -- my "rule" is one concession.

It seems like I've gotten pushback in the past on what I think are fairly basic, no brainer concepts, so I guess I was bracing for that here.
Thanks for taking time to explain the reference.
Every place I've seen report this explicitly quotes the term "on screen" which to me suggest there will definitely be an implication of Diana being or having been involved in a physical/love relationship with one of her 'sisters' on the island in this film. I'm still betting it's the chick who looks to take the bullet in the trailer. Cliched, but I don't see why they (the studio that gave us MoS and BvS) would avoid an opportunity to hammer that point (VENGENCE!) yet again.

I'm with you. It bugs the living shit out of me when a show wants be "grounded in reality" and then completely ignores reality out of convenience for the story (often due to bad writing). Be careful though ... It is a fine line between that and a full-on Taffer Vortex.

OK, nerdiness to the extreme here, but why would any of them need to? Humans have sexuality as an evolutionary reproductive need. The Amazons were all made by the gods, right? They really wouldn't need to have any kind of sexuality because it wouldn't serve any purpose. It is kind of odd how every creature in fiction not only looks human, but has the same biological needs.

It's not all biological with humans though. Zeus liked to sleep around for fun. Why wouldn't he pass that off to his offspring?
