They were wonder women. They made you wonder why they were behaving that way. men tend to come out of superhero movies looking for a villain to defeat. it's not too much of a stretch to assume women are doing the same. |

Thank the gawds for that, I was hoping not to have to deal with "Its a woman thing, you men dont "get" it?..! even from your first post, it was sounding more to me like like it was a case of women with a penchant for bullying taking cheap shots at "unescorted" males. men tend to come out of superhero movies looking for a villain to defeat. it's not too much of a stretch to assume women are doing the same. Sometimes, no movie required. Sometimes, no known or logical cause required.... Case in point, a few days ago, met head to head with "SJW" pushing a pram in a doorway, whilst halfway through the door... It was a case of who was going to go into reverse. Me or the SJW... As I say, I was halfway through the door, but the amounts of "well excuse ME!" language I was getting from the sjw who had to wait until I cleared the door, you would think I just ran over her toes?.. The whole family was behind me, its not as if it would have been possible to all go backwards anyway. Then from over my shoulder, my Son, "Other doors are available?." laying the sarcasm on with a trowel. "But your holding this one open..." Kid number three behind me makes a point of shutting the door after himself when we had all got through.... Who Us?.. Sarcastic overload?... YOU lot are responsible, I learnt everything from the other readers of this board. |

one on my mother's "special" customers was one who didn't walk well, and in her experience, with a self closing door, if she took hold of it and the other person let go then the force of the closer was enough to unbalance her. if she opened it, herself, she could manage it, but having the tension hit her when she was unprepared would be more than she could adapt to.
so instead of asking them to please keep hold of it so it didn't knock her over, she would tell them not to hold it for her.

Why not?..  No seriously, I know some of my sarcasm has "Rubbed off" on a few of you over the years, but I can honestly say, none of that was me?.. honest?..  |

I have to say, that was the most fake looking armadillo I have ever seen, and it added absolutely nothing to the story.

I did a search on wonder woman armadillo, and got quite a few hits, but I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't get to see if any of the hits actually talked about the armadillo in the movie - but it sounds like DC comics has an armadillo character. |

The Armadillo can be seen scuttling across the steps when Diana is running up them near the start of the film as a child. This is just after she was caught watching the Amazon's training.
The significance may be that Armadillo's are not native to Europe but South America. That would indicate that the Amazon's were very well traveled and aware of the America's some 1500 years before the rest of Europe*. This in turn would also explain why the Amazons ranks are not comprised of women exclusively from European areas.
(*Based on the time needed for the Amazons to have passed into Greek myth by the time they are written about. They would have had to have been cut off from 'Man's World' for at least 2,500-3,000 years. Of course this doesn't explain why they can understand English, or for that matter any other language, spoken in 1918 since none of these would have existed at those times. Even someone fluent in ancient Greek would probably have considerable difficulty communicating with them.
Nor does it explain why the Amazon's have horses, since the types they are seen using have only existed for a few hundred years. Prior to this a 'warhorse' would have been closer in size and shape to a large pony.)

Austria-Hungary was part of the central powers and has/had a coastline on the Adriatic, it was also where the facility he was investigating seems to have been located.
So Steve Trevor was most likely trying to fly from Austria-Hungary to Italy (which in WW1 was allied with Britain and France) when his plane crashed. This would also make sense given the limited range of the aircraft of the period, or at least the aircraft he was flying, as he would have actually stood a chance of reaching Italy and from there he would have been able to take a train to France, then to Northern France and England.
This doesn't explain how they were able to travel, by sea, from the Adriatic to London while Diana slept. Unless Amazon's usually sleep for around a week at a time.

I was thinking he was investigating a facility in belgium. I checked the wiki and it says ottoman empire - Turkey - which is consistent with trying to fly to a base in italy this would return to the idea the island moves to where it needs to be - which would allow it to drop them off in the english channel for the short sail to London. addendum: actually, he would more likely have been trying to fly to greece, as it was friendly to the Allies by that time. |

I'm actually wondering how much of what we were told about the Amazons turns out to be true, since we get that information through what Diana herself was taught and some of that turns out to be untrue. Or at best misleading.
I don't want to get into spoilers (Nothing said above gives away anything that couldn't be deduced from the trailers). But it does seem that the way they gave us information on the Amazons would allow them to recon a LOT of elements; Including the idea that the Amazons have had no dealings with Man's World since they moved to the Island. (Which would fix the issue of having modern horses)
