Steve finally steps in Diana's shoes, regarding questionable fashion choices.
Wonder Woman 1984 strays far away from the horrors of World War I, and settles for the cheesiness that ruled The '80s.- Diana and Barbara talk about falling in love. Millennia-old Diana has only ever loved one man, while Barbara - who is middle-aged at most - has fallen "So many times. Yeah, all the time". From Diana's perspective, it must be like a grown woman interacting with a teenager.
- The first meeting of Diana and Maxwell, culminating in her saying, "I'll stick with the TV I don't own".
- Later it turns out she owns SEVERAL TVs. It’s just that they’re hooked up to surveillance cameras all around the city, so she’s never seen his commercial on them.
- Diana tells Steve Trevor that the entire pavilion they're walking through (specifically The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden) is filled with works of art. Steve stops to stare at one particular piece made from plastic that's about waist-height and hollow. Diana tells him that's just a trash can. Even better is he's seriously contemplating it for some time, clearly attempting to grok the deeper meaning of artistic expression the artist sought to convey.
- Steve reveals that he tried to go after Diana...on a stationary bicycle, so "the damn thing didn't work".
- Barbara goes to a gym after discovering she has super strength and clearly has no idea what she’s doing. She tries curling a series of increasingly heavy dumbbells and is surprised how light they are. Then she casually lifts a huge barbell overhead before dropping it with a huge crash. The surprised looks of the men behind her really sells it.
- Steve Trevor brags about how he can fly without being detected...then Diana tells him about radar.Steve: ...well, shit, Diana!
- Diana has gained the power of invisibility in the interval between World War 1 and 1984, and she explains that she used her power to make a cup invisible...and then lost it.
- In a callback to the first film, Diana has Steve try on various outfits to blend in better...none of them look right on him. The most ridiculous one can be seen as the page image, and the following exchange occurs:Steve: Parachute pants?!
Diana: Yeah, uhh...
Steve: Does everybody parachute now?!- And he describes a fanny pack (which happens to be printed with an American flag) as "an American-issued bag"...which he keeps through multiple outfits.
- When Diana confronts Maxwell and asks where the Dreamstone is, his response is like a little kid who did something very naughty and is too scared of mommy to tell a lie.
- It turns out that many of Maxwell Lord's employees wished for Porsches, which Lord bemoans wondering why it's a thing. Later, amidst the chaos around Washington D.C. as Lord's wish-granting runs amok, an old lady tells her husband that she's seen multiple Porsches racing down the street.
- Said husband is complaining about how he had off-handedly told some guy (presumably Max) that he wished he had a farm, only for cows to suddenly show up in the park he presumably said it in.
- Maxwell grants the wish of an elderly, obese televangelist to get rid of a scandalous sex tape. Max experiences a bout of pain when he grants this wish, which can easily be mistaken for him getting grossed out at the thought of this man getting laid.
- Also, the part where a guy tells a lady "Oh yeah? Well, I wish you would drop dead!!", naturally, as the world's wishes are being granted at this point, she does. Before that, she tells him she wishes, "Someone would send you bloody Irish back where you came from." Cue the Bobbies appearing outside, shoving Irish people into vans (would this make them Paddy Wagons?)
- While Diana spins her lasso to deflect bullets, Steve's just punching the guards who remained behind it, one of them with a silver platter!
- After handcuffing himself to Maxwell, Steve still finds himself accosted by guards, meaning he has to fight them off while dragging Maxwell along with him.
- During the final scene, Asteria is strolling down the street when a nearby pole falls over, threatening to crush an infant in a stroller. Does she heroically run up and catch it like Dianna? No. She keeps walking as if she didn't notice it, then once she's under it, she reaches up and just lets it fall into her hand, all without flinching, missing a beat, nor even looking, then when a pair of men pull it aside, she takes less than a second to asses the situation, then continues walking as if heroism was just a day-to-day thing for her.
Previews
- The trailer really wants you to know that this film is set in The '80s. Every shot is dripping with decadence. It's so garish, even the late Joel Schumacher might say it's a bit much.
