I think it’s unfortunate that Joss Whedon would get slammed by anybody, but that doesn’t mean it’s innappropriate at all. In this world, or in this virtual world and forum we should still have the right to criticize as well as praise.
After all, it is OUR INDIVIDUAL OPINION THAT IS BEING SOLICITED and posted. Trying to silence someone or move them somewhere else because they don’t have the same opinion as you with regards to one thing that an individual has done is borderline fascist.
NOW... on to Joss. A brilliant man. Gave us(and will yet) a lot of good, entertaing moments in comics, tv, film, GOSSIP (LOL).
But nobody is always right. And just like I don’t like every single song by many of my favorite artists, I feel Joss should have put any differences aside(if that is why) to cast Charisma Carpenter in the role of Wonder Woman.
It’s almost as if everything has been leading, or even molding this woman’s carrer into giving her the experience she would need,(god and/or nature gave her the beauty) ;) — to play this role. All at the right time.
She has the physical appeal, look, and personality to play an iconic character like this. And like it or not comic characters are as much visual as they are imaginary. They present; rightly or wrongly,.. a challenge visually to have someone who looks the part, AS WELL AS someone that can play the part.
Through her experience with BTVS and ATS she has attacked character traits with humour, vulnerability, strength, action, romance. And don’t forget WonderWoman will require someone that can convincingly play a dual personality in guise of secret identity.
Taking a beauty and making her tough or taking a tough lady and making her a beauty is as far as many roles like this ever get... And it’s in that attempt where they traditionally fall flat.
Charisma has it all, and a wicked- fall in love smile to punctuate it with. :) Good Luck , Cordy.
