That's what I get fer thinkin'...



Uh, isn't casting someone unknown a show of imagination??

Oh... you mean they didn't do what YOU wanted, and thus they are disqualified... Got it.

Seriously though - she never had a chance. And not because of race, but because of age. They were never going to cast a 40-something Wonder Woman, simple as that.

Wow, a little pissy tonight, eh?

I meant imagination as in they picked somebody stereotypical(boring little white girl), I really could care less either way, since I always thought Wonder Woman was dorky and I was just making conversation...

Technically Gina is a dark-skinned Latina. Wonder Woman is a member of an Amazon tribe. While clearly the original DC version was inspired by the Greek idea of the Amazons, semantically I'm not seeing a problem here.

Really?

Did the "seriously though" transition in there not clue you in that I was ribbing you? Lighten up.

I don't know how many times I get misunderstood, maybe Haken should start working on FFFDelta now so someday we can leave voice messages...

I didn't know if seriously though was like seriously ha ha or seriosly serious, sounded like the latter, sorry...
