But 2020 was so miserable that this year it all feels kind of perfunctory. And as for the villain, well Im salty about this year, so let me have my fun. Theres no need for qualifiers or addendums. His turn as Levee is heartbreaking, electric, and counterbalances perfect with Viola Davis Ma Rainey. Its heartbreaking we wont get to see another one from him, but we can treasure this work....
In many ways, for better and for worse,Wonder Woman 1984plays like a throwback film. ), but to previous eras of DC filmmaking. It is without exaggeration that I believePedro Pascaldeserves an Oscar nomination for his work in this film. Image via Warner Bros. But it aint all melodrama and cheekiness from Pascal. Pascal jumps on these shades with verve, with excitement, and with triumph. The character plays on paper, and Pascal makes it soar even more....

Lithe, ferocious, cunning, and powerful, Cheetah is a formidable antagonist for Wonder Woman. Over the years, the Cheetah vs. Wonder Woman showdowns in the comics have become legendary.

For better or worse, one of the iconic pieces of Wonder Woman’s history is the invisible jet. However, an invisible jet is somewhat difficult to depict on screen without it looking silly. JENKINS: That was something that I was dead set on. Image via Warner Bros. And number two, none of them are cool. Like none of these characters are cool on the page in the 1950s. We make them cool....
Theres plenty to praise this year, and a refreshingly diverse crop of contenders for everyones year-end lists. That extends to the craft of film scores, of which there were many worthy of note. There was a lot of great film music this year, but these original scores moved us the most. Adam Chitwood 9. -Gregory Lawrence 8.

Yes, Virginia, that isLynda Carterreturning to the world ofWonder Woman! Carter herself has recently rejoined the DC television family,playing President Olivia Marsdin in the CWsSupergirl. This meta-textual surprise provoked two reactions in me. Image via Warner Bros. Its the kind of credits-stinger that feels right in place with the rest of the tone ofWonder Woman 1984.
