Bullshit. The full context makes it significantly better because it reveals that isn’t just some random homeless man.

I see you’re just going to deliberately leave out the context.

That wasn’t a homeless person, it was a patient at the asylum. Hugo Strange had injected him and 4 others with grown hormone that turned them into mindless, rage filled monsters, and there was no cure. It’s needlessly violent and careless but that is in no way “Batman lynching a homeless man”

I don’t know what it is with people on Lemmy trying to dishonesty reframe the legacy of that character just because he’s wealthy. It’s so petty and pointless.

I mean, going to the original run of WW is almost cheating. Those were written with the explicit intent of depicting bondage, and more importantly, Wonder Woman breaking the bonds. Marston knew exactly what he was doing and how it would look.

Under the original run by Marston, yes. And it wasn’t a “fantasy”, so much as it was an attempt at depicting a strong female character by routinely depicting her bond and then breaking those bonds.

Oh yes.

In the original Japanese version of the movie, Mewtwo is less of a “destroy the world” villain and Mew is less of of an innocent that shows up to save the day.

It’s not quite as big a flip as the person above is suggesting, but it is absolutely more gray.

Basically, Mewtwo is depicted as deeply confused and trying to justify its existence by proving that it and the other clones are superior. It’s not out to destroy anything, he just wants to prove he deserves to exist.

Meanwhile, Mew is actually kind of a purist, claiming the clones are just fakes and don’t deserve to exist. It definitely starts the movie as a vibing space cat, but once it encounters the clones, it instigates the battle as much as Mewtwo does.

I could get into it but this article does a good job summarizing it.
