- Patty Jenkins, Director of Wonder Woman
#I was over the whole ‘careful don’t like anything TOO much as it’s a sign of weakness’ thing like a decade ago#I’m very ready for earnestness in films#when even superhero films - which like mythology are made to show a Larger Than Life approach to motivation and reaction#when even THOSE film have been stuck in a rut of smugness and mockery and distance#better joke about how we’re wearing tights every 5 minutes! quick mock ourselves before everyone mocks us!#when we’ve had that for a decade (say 15 years?) then I’m ready for earnestness#give me my billy zane phantom#give me my ‘my mother made it for me’ superman costume pride#if you make a superhero movie afraid of being made fun of them are you sure you’re the right person to tell a Big Myth story?#honestly go big or go home - and I mean emotional commitment#which is a concept that has been stuck in ‘emotional commitment=grief’ for like everrrrrr#there’s more than one big emotion my guys#I’m just going to make coward chicken noises at the next superhero movie where the only Big Emotion on display is some dude’s grief and loss#Bruce has that covered thnx - what else do you have? #wonder woman#patty jenkins (@harrietvane)
