Joss Whedon

Scott: If it’s okay, we’d like to start with Wonder Woman, because we do have page after page after page of, of course, Buffy and Angel and Firefly and Serenity questions...

Joss: And we can actually sortof finish the whole Wonder Woman subject really quickly...

Scott and Oliver: Oh, really?

Scott: You can’t talk about it?

Joss: No, I’m writing it, I’m still writing it. I know it sounds ridiculous, I mean, I know it sounds like it must be “Remembrance of Wonder Woman Past,” must be a thousand pages long, but it’s not, I’m just slogging away... So there’s really nothing to say...

Scott: Nothing to say.

Joss: Except that I’m the sort of person who likes to do things very meticulously and then humiliate his assistant on radio. I feel bad about that, I mean, I realized we were live.

Scott: What’s your overall take on the character of Diana Prince? I mean, is she an intimidating feminist, a caring naturalist, a (?) superhero, or what?

Joss: Yes

(All laugh)

Joss: You know, she is intimidating, because she is an Amazon and a princess, and somebody who believes very strongly in what she is. I don’t believe that she’s an intimidating feminist in the sense that that term’s usually used. It’s not because she’s a feminist that she’s intimidating, it’s because she’s frikkin’ Wonder Woman. And, um, you know, she can kill you with her pinkie. She doesn’t because she’s good. You know, the things that’s interesting to me about her is that she’s simply, that she’s so righteous and so completely above human nature that she doesn’t see it in herself and until she does, she’s not actually that effective a superhero.
