Wonder Woman is an animated film from 2009 and part of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line, involving a kind of Superhero Origin for the title character. It stars Felicity's Keri Russell as Diana/Wonder Woman, and Firefly's Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor. The film involves Diana's first venture into the outside world in order to stop Ares, the Greek god of war, from gaining all the powers of Olympus and using them to destroy the world.Along the way, she is helped by Steve Trevor, and the two become involved in a somewhat complicated partnership whilst trying to track down Ares.Not to be confused with the 2017 live-action film. Though, not surprisingly, it was re-released just in time to celebrate said live-action film. | |

Wonder Woman (2009) / int_1228314a | comment |
Strong as They Need to Be: Wonder Woman goes through this hard during the film. She initially has trouble fighting a fellow Amazon during a ceremony and later takes down Deimos, son of Ares, by herself. Then she gets caught by one of Ares' flying monsters and injured to the point she ended up unconscious in a hospital bed. Then proceeds to duke it out with Ares, who'd been amped up to be stronger than ever, and gets pummeled with nothing more than a nosebleed. | |

Good Is Not Soft: Members of the Amazons rack up quite the body count when they're portrayed in battle, Hippolyta, Artemis, and Wonder Woman included. Steve, the only man the Amazons encountered from Man's World on their side, kills a fair share of people throughout the film with weapons and with his bare hands since he is a US Soldier despite being only a pilot. | |

Ironic Echo: In the opening battle, Artemis rebukes Alexa for relying on wisdom from "some dead philosopher" rather than fighting with her sword. Later, during the battle in DC, Alexa saves the Amazons from their own dead sisters by revealing to Artemis a chant which releases the undead Amazons from Ares' control... a chant that Alexa learned in a magic book by "some dead philosopher". | |

Mythology Gag | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Possibly. In the closing scene, Diana is seen wearing glasses as part of a new secret identity and begins changing for combat by pulling opening her shirt to reveal her costume underneath. A rather literal one to Greek mythology. Persephone is refused entry into the Underworld by Cerberus. The most famous myth surrounding Persephone is her abduction by Hades and having to remain in the Underworld for six months each year. Ares is hated and despised by the other gods for his bloodthirsty ways. Just like in actual Greek Mythology. | |

Wonder Woman (2009) / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: As per usual with Wonder Woman stories the Greek Mythology is mostly In Name Only, and some of these changes are new to the film: Hades seems to be reviled and looks and behaves more like an overweight Bacchus than the impartial ruler of the underworld. The Amazons of myth were called the Daughters of Ares due to his favor of them, their warlike nature and the fact that he acted as consort to one of their queens. Hippolyta was his actual daughter with said queen and, like all his children, under his fierce protection should she ask for it. She was not someone he'd have attacked and raped as in the film, especially since Ares is one of the few in the Greek pantheon who doesn't have any famous tales of non-consensual relationships and supposedly caused the first ever murder trial when he killed one of Posideon's sons for trying to rape one of Ares' daughters. While Zeus in the film actually saved Ares, in mythology he hated Ares and laughed him off whenever he tried to ask for help and considered him an embarrassment and tattle-tale. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_2f94135c | comment |
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Critics of the 2011 TV pilot called the writers out on having Wonder Woman killing bad guys in cold blood, but she'd already gone there with this movie which at one point shows her slicing the throats of two of Ares' cult members guarding an entrance with her tiara. (Steve also does a Neck Snap on a guy from behind and kills another by throwing a knife at the guard's head.) There were a few critics of that here too, according to That Other Wiki, to the extent that the Novelization leaves out them murdering the guards. The producers of the 2011 pilot were either warned too late about this reaction or just didn't listen. | |

While he ogles the bathing Amazons, flirts shamelessly with Diana and tries to get her drunk to have a better chance - he doesn't seem to have a problem respecting female combatants, and says he likes to hold doors open for women to be polite. | |

Batman Gambit: Hades helps Ares by breaking his restraints, secretly anticipating his defeat and subsequent enslavement in the Underworld. Diana tricks Ares into using Zeus' lightning to finish her rather than doing it the old-fashioned way. This lets her pull him into the blast using her lasso, weakening him long enough for her to behead him. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: As there are no "magical spins" that changes Diana into her battle outfit, she wears it concealed under civilian clothes, and has to carry her tiara, lasso, and boots separately. But as it appears Steve neglected to get a bag large enough to carry the boots, when Deimos attacks she can only slip off the high heels given to her and fight barefoot. At the conclusion, she has a messenger bag or a large purse, so as to have everything on hand. The Amazons are isolated on an island with no men. This means that none of the Amazons are able to have any children or families of their own. Hippolyta was granted a child through the magic of the gods, but otherwise no other Amazons can have families. This is Persephone's primary motive for her Face–Heel Turn, and realizing this triggers Hippolyta's Jerkass Realization. Diana was the only child to ever live on Themyscira. This invariably means that she has never seen children herself. She's in awe at the sight of little boys and girls playing in Central Park. | |

Why Couldn't You Be Different? | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_4623b3bb | comment |
Why Couldn't You Be Different?: Artemis criticizes her sister Alexa's non-warrior ways. Instead of grieving for her death, she's angry at her for allowing Ares' escape. When Alexa comes back as a zombie, Artemis curses her for all her mistakes in life. However, they reconcile after Artemis realizes she's trying to speak a spell to free them from Ares' command. | |

Emotion Eater | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_47fa30cf | comment |
Emotion Eater: Ares is one, essentially feeding off the emotions of fear and carnage around him to fuel his godhood, in addition to being an Emotion Bomb whose presence fuels aggression and hostility in others to fuel his power. When more powerful weapons are used, he becomes even stronger. He spent much of the film trying to break the metal bonds that seal his powers and render him mortal. | |

Brought Down to Badass: Demonstrated with Ares. Even without his godhood, Ares is still a dangerous manipulator, capable warrior, and skilled spellcaster. He manipulated and seduced his jailor Persephone for centuries to convince her to free him from his prison, could fight Steve Trevor and Diana on his own for some time, and summon stone creatures by reciting spells. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Ares very deeply cares for his son, Thrax, and desperately begs Hippolyta not to kill him. He suffered a Villainous BSoD at the sight of Thrax's lifeless remains, and even thousands of years later, he is clearly still very bitter about Thrax's death. When Ares sees Thrax has become an undead slave of Hades after his death, he's visibly upset. Ares and Persephone likewise seem to be genuinely in love after centuries of courtship. Or at the very least, Ares respects her as a powerful combatant. | |

Foot Focus: Diana is barefoot during her fight with Deimos, and uses a lot more kicks than usual in comparison to her previous fights. It ends with the aforementioned Finishing Stomp followed by a jumping spin kick for good measure. Lots of close-ups focused on Diana's feet right at the impact of each kick. A brief one focuses on Cheetah. After jumping on top of an officer's shoulders, a close-up shows Cheetah's feet standing on his shoulders before she uses them to kill him with a Neck Snap. | |

Wonder Woman (2009) / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: Wonder Woman and some of the other Amazons have tendencies in this direction, but mostly seem to get over them by the film's end. Hippolyta herself generalizing all men as wicked and evil based on her past relationship trauma with Ares. | |

Wonder Woman (2009) / int_7eb49b31 | comment |
Almost Kiss: Steve tries this on Diana twice. The first time, he's very drunk and she rejects him (by moving out of the way as he leaned in, letting his head fall onto a bar stool). The second time, it looks like it’s about to happen after Steve both points out the hypocrisy of the Straw Feminism that some of the Amazons possess and expresses his true feelings for Diana... then she slaps him in the face (supposedly for attempting to make another move on her). | |

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Subverted. Body language right before the fact strongly implies that Ares will sacrifice Persephone—who betrayed her fellow Amazons to free him—to open the gates of Hades, but he simply uses one of his cultists as a sacrifice instead. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: In addition, this version of Etta is much bitchier. Being a rival with Wonder Woman for Steve Trevor's attention. Steve in the comics and other media is a Nice Guy and gentlemen, with his goodness being the entire reason why the Amazons and Diana in particular give mankind a chance in the first place. Here however Steve is instead a horny creep who can’t seem to go a minute without hitting on Diana and treating her like a piece of meat, with other Amazons understandably wanting to castrate him for his lechery. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Persephone may have killed innocent people and nearly brought about an international war, but her death at the hands of Hippolyta is played very sadly. She was driven to join Ares by her desperation for companionship and children of her own which Hippolyta strictly forbid for centuries. Her Shut Up, Kirk! to the queen is said in a very tragic tone. | |

Oh, Crap!: Used repeatedly throughout the film. Particularly effective when Diana herself uses it after Ares' influence pushes the President of the United States to launch a nuke at Themyscira, causing the war god to reach new levels of strength. A hilarious one is when Steve tries to prevent the missile strike on Themiscyra. He panics when it seems that the jet won't shoot anything...before realizing that the invisible jet's missiles are also invisible. | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
The Amazons are isolated on an island with no men. This means that none of the Amazons are able to have any children or families of their own. Hippolyta was granted a child through the magic of the gods, but otherwise no other Amazons can have families. This is Persephone's primary motive for her Face–Heel Turn, and realizing this triggers Hippolyta's Jerkass Realization. | |

Double Standard | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_b6cebad3 | comment |
Double Standard: A major plot point. The reason Persephone defects is her frustration and resentment at being forced to live a military life of solitude while Hippolyta was allowed to have a baby and raise a family. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Invoked by Hades when Ares comes to him. Ares says that children should not take second place to politics (referring to Zeus' denial of freeing Ares for fear of upsetting Olympus' power balance), and Hades calls in his servant, who turns out to be the spirit of Ares' son. Hades really enjoys mistreating them while Ares can't do anything, as this would be unpolitical. | |

No Social Skills: Wonder Woman. She's less naive than her portrayal in Justice League—while she questions things just as often, it's not because she doesn't understand what's going on, it's because she finds social mores that are borne of patriarchy annoying and pointless. | |

Critics of the 2011 TV pilot called the writers out on having Wonder Woman killing bad guys in cold blood, but she'd already gone there with this movie which at one point shows her slicing the throats of two of Ares' cult members guarding an entrance with her tiara. (Steve also does a Neck Snap on a guy from behind and kills another by throwing a knife at the guard's head.) | |

Steve in the comics and other media is a Nice Guy and gentlemen, with his goodness being the entire reason why the Amazons and Diana in particular give mankind a chance in the first place. Here however Steve is instead a horny creep who can’t seem to go a minute without hitting on Diana and treating her like a piece of meat, with other Amazons understandably wanting to castrate him for his lechery. | |

Shout-Out | |
Wonder Woman (2009) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Diana's suit-up sequence into her trademark costume plays out very much like a PG-13 rated version of Taarna's "suiting up" sequence from Heavy Metal. The cyclopes glimpsed in the battles are based off the ones from Ray Harryhausen's film. The invisible jet is parked in a city park late at night unnoticed by anyone but an unreliable witness, just like the cloaked ship in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Diana and Steve run to each other across Washington D.C.'s Reflecting Pool just like Jenny and Forrest. The following exchange is quoted near word for word from Ninotchka: | |

Wonder Woman (2009) / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Ares gains the powers of the Olympian pantheon, with the intention of using them to overthrow Olympus and destroy the world. In his fight against Diana, he attempts to use Zeus' lightning to finish her, but she uses her lasso to pull him into it and jumps out of the way. The blast of lightning depowers Ares long enough for Diana to decapitate him. Seconds before this, Ares calls out to Zeus to save his life (like he did in the prologue), but it seems dear old daddy wasn't too pleased with the "overthrow Olympus and destroy the world" plan. | |

Hypocrite: In his angry rejoinder to Diana's "The Reason You Suck" Speech after he saved her life (and her frequent and vocal dismissiveness towards himself and Man's World in general), Steve accuses the Amazons of this. While they pride themselves on being brave and fearless warriors, in fleeing from and hiding themselves away from the rest of the world they made themselves look cowardly. They sneer at the patriarchal systems of Man's World and the power imbalance between men and women it results in, but their own matriarchal system has created a similar power imbalance, just with women at the top. And while they hold Man's World in contempt, rather than do anything to change the way it worked they just threw up more barriers between men and women. Then Diana slapped him, for being right. Then there's also the fact that the only reason Hippolyta hates men at all is because her past relationship with Ares. Something Steve also points out earlier on, as of course someone who calls himself the "The God of War" would not be a good person to begin with. And that she has no one but herself to blame for Ares' treatment of her. | |
