Wonder Woman COVID-1984 – Part 1

WONDER WOMAN 1984 (2020)


 

Why did they choose 1984?

 

Wonder Woman 1984 (stylized as WW84) is a 2020 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Wonder Woman. It is the sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman and the ninth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Patty Jenkins from a script she wrote with Geoff Johns and Dave Callaham, based on a story by Johns and Jenkins. Gal Gadot stars as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman, alongside Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen. Set in 1984 during the Cold War, the film follows Diana and her past love Steve Trevor as they face off against Max Lord and Cheetah.

Discussion of a sequel began shortly after the release of the first film in June 2017 and the decision to proceed was confirmed the following month. Principal photography began on June 13, 2018, with filming taking place at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England, as well as the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia in the United States, London and Duxford in England, Tenerife and Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, and Almería in Andalusia, Spain. Production wrapped on December 22, 2018, after a six-month shoot, with additional filming in July 2019.

Wonder Woman 1984 premiered on December 15, 2020, via the DC FanDome virtual platform. It was theatrically released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on December 25, 2020, and also made available to be streamed digitally on HBO Max for a month before it will go to premium video on demand. In international markets that do not have HBO Max, the film was theatrically released beginning on December 16, 2020. It was praised for its “escapist qualities” and Jenkins’ take on the 1980s, but many critics found it “overindulgent or cliché”. It has grossed $85 million worldwide, and became the most-watched straight-to-streaming title of 2020. A sequel is in development, with Jenkins and Gadot returning.


 

On June 13, 2018, the title of the film was announced to be Wonder Woman 1984.

Plot Summary


 

In her youth, Diana Prince participates in a multi-stage athletic competition on Themyscira against older Amazons overseen by Queen Hippolyta. After falling from her horse, Diana takes a shortcut—skipping a critical component in the competition—to catch up to it; her aunt Antiope removes her from the competition for this, lecturing that “no true hero is born from lies”, before Hippolyta further lectures Diana and gives her words of encouragement.

In 1984, 66 years after the first film, Diana works as a senior anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., specializing in ancient Mediterranean civilizations; one day at work there introduces her to Barbara Ann Minerva, an insecure woman and newly employed archaeologist and zoologist with a bubbly personality who comes to idolize and envy Diana. Diana also continues to fight crime, albeit with as much anonymity as possible; this leads Wonder Woman to foil an attempted robbery that leaves the FBI asking Barbara to identify a cache of stolen antiquities from the robbery. Both Barbara and Diana notice one object—later revealed to be the “Dreamstone”—with a Latin inscription.

Diana unknowingly uses the stone to wish her deceased lover Steve Trevor back to life; though his soul returns and inhabits another man’s body, Diana only sees Steve even when Steve sees his own reflection as the man he possessed. Later, after Diana saves her from an assault, Barbara wishes upon the stone to become like Diana, inadvertently attaining Diana’s superpowers. Failing businessman Maxwell “Max Lord” Lorenzano then visits the Smithsonian under the guise of a wealthy donor, secretly coveting the Dreamstone in hopes of saving his failing oil company; during a gala at the Smithsonian which reunites Diana and the resurrected Steve, Max seduces the unwitting Barbara to gain access to her office and steal the Dreamstone. He later wishes to become the embodiment of the stone and gains its power to grant wishes while also having the ability to take whatever he desires from others; Max becomes a powerful and influential figure while leaving chaos and destruction in his wake as his powers trigger worldwide instability and conflict.

Barbara, Diana, and Steve later discover that the Dreamstone was created by Dolos, the god of lies, treachery, deception, and mischief. The stone grants a user their wish but exacts a toll, and the only way to reverse the exchange is by renouncing the wish or destroying the stone itself. Steve realizes his existence comes at the cost of Diana’s power, while Barbara’s newfound life has drained her humanity; neither woman, however, is willing to renounce her wish.

Max learns from the U.S. President that the nation’s satellite system can broadcast signals globally; Max uses it to grant wishes to the entire world while regaining his now-deteriorating health. On his way to the TV station, Max is confronted by Diana and Steve as Barbara joins forces with Max to prevent Diana from impeding him. Steve convinces a tearful Diana to renounce her wish and let him go, restoring her strength while gaining the ability to fly. She returns home and dons the armor of the legendary Amazon warrior Asteria. She then heads to the TV station and battles Barbara, who has further mutated into a cheetah-like creature after wishing to become an apex predator.

After defeating Barbara, Diana confronts Max and uses her Lasso of Truth to communicate with the world through him, convincing everyone to renounce their wishes. She also shows Max visions: first of his own unhappy childhood; then of his young son, Alistair, wandering the streets terrified and crying for his father amid the chaos Max created. A tearful Max renounces his wish and reunites with Alistair, repentantly promising to be a better father.

Sometime later, Diana meets the man whose body Steve possessed, while she continues to watch over the world. Meanwhile, Asteria is revealed to be secretly living among humans, much like Diana.

PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING
(COVID-Tyranny)


 

Predictive Programming is the concept whereby conspirators plan a false flag operation, they hide references to it in the popular media before the atrocity takes place; when the event occurs, the public has softened up, and therefore passively accepts it rather than offering resistance or opposition.

DC Extended Universe


 

The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is a series of superhero films, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and based on characters that appear in American comic books by DC Comics. The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books and the television programs, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. The films have been in production since 2011, and in that time, Warner Bros has distributed nine films, with several others in various stages of development. It is the eleventh-highest-grossing film franchise of all time, having grossed over $5.56 billion at the global box office. Its highest-grossing film is Aquaman, which earned over $1.15 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing DC film to date.

The films are written and directed by a variety of individuals and feature large, often ensemble casts. Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Margot Robbie, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, and Zachary Levi, among others, star in several films. However, unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the franchise has loosely connected story-lines, with greater autonomy for the filmmakers who create each individual film. The first film in the DCEU was Man of Steel (2013), followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Suicide Squad (2016), Wonder Woman (2017), Justice League (2017), Aquaman (2018), Shazam! (2019), Birds of Prey (2020) and Wonder Woman 1984 (2020). The franchise will continue with The Suicide Squad in 2021; The Flash and Aquaman 2 in 2022; Shazam! Fury of the Gods in 2023; and Black Adam on an undecided date. Additionally, the DCEU will expand to streaming television on HBO Max with Zack Snyder’s Justice League, a miniseries-format director’s cut of Justice League, in 2021, and Peacemaker on an unannounced date.

Walter Hamada announced that starting in 2022, Warner Bros. and DC Films plan to release four theatrical and two HBO Max exclusive films per year, though not all of them would be set in the DCEU. The studio also plans to develop spin-off television series from each of the films.
