The New Wonder Woman in Action

March 30, 2011 By

The first photos are out of Anna Palicki as Wonder Woman and they are as disappointing as we had originally feared. 

Don’t get us wrong, we feel like Anna is just about as hot as they come and this has nothing to do with her, she just does not fit the part at all. Now granted we have not seen the show, and this is completely based on first impressions, but Wonder Woman is an Amazon Queen, not a hot young thing. Its as if you were to reimagine Spider Man using The Rock. Is he tough enough yes, but he just does not fit the mold.

Compare and contrast:

Anna Palicki as Wonder Woman

palicki as wonder woman

The Original – Lynda Carter

Womderwomancarter_lores

Two beautiful, but very different images. One a powerful Amazon Queen, the other, a sexy Halloween version.

Palicki in action

Snap_2011.03.30 13.10.12_003

Carter in action

Wonder_Woman_in_action

Again two beautiful, but completely different characters.

We have been waiting for years for a reimagining of Wonder Woman. Sadly, it went to NBC. Where all television goes to die.

‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ Official Trailer 2011 HD

March 26, 2011 By

The full trailer is out for Captain America and all we can say is wow. We were very concerned about this film, but it appears that Marvel has gotten it right from the look of the vintage WWII era to the Red Skull.

Captain America hits theaters July 22. In the meantime you can check out the 13-page digital comic book that accompanies the film, and take a look at the trailer below. We recommend full screen and high volume.
