She'd get my vote...
Wonder Woman is a lame superhero. She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don’t get it.
So said Megan Fox in this interview.
Um. I’m sorry, but aren’t you the one from those giant transforming robot movies? But you don’t “get” Wonder Woman? Maybe if you read up a little bit, you would know more. Things like her lasso of truth was the inspiration of her creator, William Moulton Marston, who also happened to be one of the creators of the polygraph device (I know, that’s probably a really big word for you, and something else you don’t “get”…it’s that magical make-believe machine they use in police movies all the time to determine if someone’s lying).
Wonder Woman sprang from a period in history in which even the idea of a woman being portrayed as a superhero was ridiculously forward thinking. Yes, she started out wearing a pleated skirt and later shifted to Underoos, but she was still inspirational. Enough so that Gloria Steinem placed her on the very first cover of Ms. magazine.
Again, though, even more things that Ms. Fox doesn’t “get.” She claims in this interview that, “…if you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model, yeah.” Yet she fails to get how Wonder Woman was all those things and more to several generations of women. But she sure does look perty in cut-off shorts and has mastered the PG-13-approved boob shot.
Know what else I’m glad Ms. Fox is not getting? The role of Wonder Woman.
