Anyone remember Animaniacs?

Good idea: Giving Wonder Woman pants.

Bad idea:



ETA: Blue high-heeled boots, for realsies?

Wheel of morality, turn turn turn
Tell us the lesson that we should learn.

Moral number seven! People in glass houses should really dress with the lights off.

I can literally think of several dozen cosplay costumes that I've seen online which would be more deserving of being on television than this.

And I love the fact that they gave her pants to seem less sexist, but they also gave her incredibly impractical-for-combat high-heels that the character doesn't even wear in the comics, which actually makes them even MORE sexist than the source material that they're so desperate to "improve."

I'm starting to feel about this poor gal as Wonder Woman the same way I did about Dean Cain as Superman — he actually wasn't badly cast at all in that iconic role, but the scripts and the stories and the special effects and everything else sabotaged him at every turn.

This is DOGSHIT.

Wait, I'm actually agreeing with Box on something? Wow.

How can you call this a bad idea? I love it!

And... oh yes, I remember it! I totally loved that section of Animaniacs!!

Really, I don't think it's that bad. The colors could use a little work is all. The blue boots and lack of silver anywhere but the bracers really throws the color balance off.

didn't they say she had multiple costumes in this show?

That's...you know the lack of pants was never a problem with me (I think Wonder Woman has a great mix of femininity and masculinity which makes her great as a feminist icon) but if they were going to redo her costume, the least they could do was make it so....let me put it this way, I've seen cosplayers put more thought and care to their work than this.
