wonder woman is one of the oldest and most influential superheroes of all - time , and she paved the way for a lot of the modern day superheroes . to deny her influence and to pettily attack the core of what makes the character special seems silly , especially if these trolls enjoy the history of other superheroes . for those who don ' t have a problem giving into the wonder woman phenomenon , the film is in theaters now , where it is enjoying a particularly lucrative second weekend .

the staff at urltoken recently gathered some of the more interesting claims and read them off to the cast of the new film to get their thoughts on the comments . their reactions are about what you would expect :
wonder woman has been having amazing box office results — even setting records along the way — so a sequel is an obvious next step . in may , zack snyder revealed that one is in development , while dc head geoff johns wouldn’t confirm or deny snyder’s claim . wonder woman director patty jenkins was soon confirmed to be working with johns on an outline for the sequel . although jenkins hasn’t officially been announced as the director of wonder woman 2 , she recently said she’d like the sequel to be “contemporary” and set in america . now we know what time period is meant by “contemporary , ” why wonder woman would be in america , and very surprising news about a character planned to be in the sequel .
the director behind the universally praised and commercially successful wonder woman movie is “blown away” by fan reaction .
with the film expected to both vindicate female - led superhero movies and rescue the critically failing dc movie franchise , wonder woman had a lot to carry .

it ' s safe to say that wonder woman is the queen of the film industry right now , but that doesn ' t keep it insulated from some of the drama that tends to arrise on the internet , particularly through social media . thankfully , the cast and crew of wonder woman don ' t have any time for that nonsense and responded to the claims of several

amid reports that the extortion attempt centered around footage of hart and another woman , sabbag said wednesday
my name and my picture have been released and lies written about me .
the worldwide audience got their first glimpse of wonder woman ' s story in batman v superman , so the task of her origin film is to take us all back to the beginning - ideally , showing how the decision and tragedies of her past made her into the hardened warrior she is in the modern era of the dceu . the movie comes through , showing how wonder woman ' s story differs from batman or superman . and where those films planted seeds for the future of the movie universe , wonder woman is showing how it all began .
director patty jenkins is giving us wonder woman’s origin story . while comic book movie fans may be tired of finding out about how these superheroes began , wonder woman has never been given this treatment on the big screen before . it helps that she has one of the more unique origin stories in comic book lore , so this won’t feel like we’re treading familiar territory .
sabbag said she had nothing to do with a reported attempt to extort money from hart .

diana , princess of the amazons , trained to be an unconquerable warrior . raised on a sheltered island paradise , when a pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world , diana leaves her home , convinced she can stop the threat . fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars , diana will discover her full powers and her true destiny .
in a small , blue - collar town in pennsylvania , a 32 - year - old woman ' s teen daughter goes missing and she is left to raise her infant grandson alone . the story is told over the course of 11 years , from the time her daughter vanishes , through the the trials - and - tribulations of subsequent years looking for closure , leading up the long - awaited discovery of the truth .
but if diana defeats the god of war , why does a future turned away from humanity lie ahead ? and if the feud stretches back into ancient history , why only now has ares launched his final assault ? these questions and more are answered in our list of wonder woman : unanswered movie questions & dceu plot holes .

we would like to express at this time how sorry we are over the embarrassing turn of events that occurred earlier this week in our restaurant , here in delaware city . it is unfortunate that some of the public are not familiar with federal regulations regarding service animals , which , in fact , do permit service animals into establishments such as grocery stores , public buildings and restaurants , giving aid and comfort to their masters in their time of need . that being said , we would like to take what may have been perceived as a negative incident and turn this into a positive opportunity , by educating and enlightening the public about the role of service animals and how they help and serve many returning veterans who have suffered serious wounds and injuries , as well as those veterans suffering from ptsd . so , at this time , we would like to announce that we will be sponsoring a fundraising effort for veterans and service animals thru the montana wounded warriors . we would like to enlist your help as a sponsor , volunteer , or as a donor and help us enlighten and educate the public as well as to help those veterans in need . details need to be finalized at this time , but as they come together , we will make additional announcements to keep you apprised of our progress .
fox 29 contacted the restaurant for comment on the claim that staff members used racial slurs , and we were told
no comment
and referred to a statement they published on facebook . the restaurant also announced they would be organizing a fundraiser for veterans to raise awareness .

one of the most head - scratching moments in the new wonder woman film is when diana ' s aunt , antiope ( played by robin wright ) [ spoiler ] jumps in front of a german soldier who ' s about to shoot her niece . antiope knows good and well that diana is immortal ( and thus wouldn ' t die from a gunshot ) , so why would she jump in front of her ? you could chock this up to just familial instincts : perhaps antiope got caught up in the heat of battle and impulsively jumped in front of diana . in intense situations , logic almost always goes out the window . ( and it ' s also worth noting that at this point in the movie , the audience doesn ' t know diana is immortal either—it would have been a huge twist to reveal so early in the film . )

“making the very best version of very mainstream movie for all ages was my objective from the start . i wanted wonder woman to be that kind of classic film , and i was able to get just the amount of subtle adult story beneath it that i wanted to get in there too , so the film really is the film i wanted to make . ”
the wonder woman movie introduces a brand new wave of superhero fans to diana ' s dc comic history - but some of the movie ' s twists and turns may need some explaining . especially since the amazon princess is learning the history of her people and their millennia - long feud with the gods of olympus . where dc ' s headlining heroine had her mother hippolyta ( connie nielsen ) and themyscira ' s fiercest warrior antiope ( robin wright ) to turn to for insights and explanations , fans of the film have only ourselves . and believe us , with a story this drenched in themes of war , corruption , and man ' s lust for power , some of the smaller details are easy to miss .
“of course , right before it came out i started to really take on the pressure of hoping it did well on behalf of the whole dc universe as well . but i tried not to think about that part too much while making it . you can only make the best film you can , and just trying to live up to wonder woman is plenty . ”
six days after the slaying , police discovered the pelvis of a man — from mid - thigh to belly button — in a local landfill but are still waiting for dna results . “we don’t know definitely if it is our guy yet , ” baytown police lt . steve dorris tells people . “but it is safe to say it is our suspicion . ”
instead of taking the criticisms seriously , it ' s fun to see gadot and pine laugh them off , literally , with pine claiming he ' s actually the one that wrote the original armpit hit piece in question . the chemistry and camaraderie shown between pine and gadot in these videos is a great indication of one of the reasons the movie was such a success , and doubtless played a role into one of the movie ' s best scenes , which we now know took advantage of that chemistry with the two leads improvising the dialogue .
over the course of wonder woman ' s journey to the big screen , an odd number of specific criticisms have been levied in its direction , with a few attacks specifically targeting gal gadot . some fans , preferring the unrealistic proportions of some variations of the character , have criticized her for her own shape , particularly her bust size , while others took issue with her armpits , particularly their lack of hair . while these are some of the more odd attacks on the film , gadot and pine weren ' t afraid to address those topics head on .

the first film raked in $ 1 . 02 billion at the box office . it also inspired a collective sigh of relief as fans and critics embraced its optimistic , classic hero story .

we doubt that director patty jenkins , the producers , or studio would want fans to get caught up in the claim that zeus actually created all of humanity in the dceu , and it being presented as a legend or fable (
once upon a time . . .
) lends some creative license to hippolyta specifically , and the filmmakers generally . but it is a different creation myth than that of dc comics , where zeus was an unpredictable , often surly deity - leaving the spurned women among the gods to create the amazons . and it may tie into the larger mythology of the dc universe , with steppenwolf and darkseid coming to the movies soon enough .

the video seems very much inspired by late - night talk show host jimmy kimmel ' s celebrities read mean tweets segment , where celebrities read aloud personal digs levied at them by anonymous keyboarders on twitter . instead of personal attacks on the actors , these trolls are attacking the wonder woman hero herself , criticizing things like her outfit , her weapons , her superpowers and her villains . the comments aren ' t very detailed or sophisticated , sometimes even resorting to grade school insults like

the whirlwind , written by anthony street ( pen name only ) , is the best selling novel of the last ten years , its success largely attributed to agent carol ainsley - the daughter of an actress and a us senator - she who has already sold the movie rights further to capitalize on the success she ' s already generated . no one except street ' s publisher knows his real identity . henry pepper , associate editor of knickerbocker magazine , is assigned by his boss to write a multi - installment article on the success that is carol ainsley . carol is amenable to the idea until she learns that henry does not want to write a standard biography , but rather an in depth profile of her workings , she reluctant to make public many of her working secrets , especially anything that may place her or her company in a bad light . her next step , which she has the exclusive contract to do , is find the actor to play the hyper - masculine , romantic yet adventurous lead character of the whirlwind , the identity of that actor . . .
thornton sayre , a respected college professor , is plagued when his old movies are shown on tv and sets out with his daughter to stop it . however , his former co - star is the hostess of the tv show playing his films and she has other plans .
goesoff _ on _ tangent also thinks that if diana knew she was immortal , she ' d become a
lazy
warrior and not fight with the same
integrity
—so it ' s possible antiope jumped in front of her to prevent this from happening too .
after snatching up the lasso of hestia , the shield , and godkiller sword , diana pauses to gaze at the red , blue , and gold armor stored alongside them . so it remains something of a mystery , leaving fans to come up with their own theories . obviously , there ' s the presence of red ( a common color for hestia , the goddess of the home also responsible for the lasso ) and blue ( a color associated with the wisdom of athena ) , and the golden eagle imagery carried over from the comics - which may be the key . eagles in greek mythology have general and specific meaning , from suggesting the dominance , freedom , and ' higher rank ' of creatures that fly in the skies closer to the gods , to specifically representing the aetos dios , the
eagle of zeus .
sutton’s friends reportedly claimed to police that she confessed to shooting coleman in the head while he was sleeping in their baytown , texas , apartment after which she cut him up into pieces with a machete , wrapped up his body parts in sheets and duct tape and disposed of them .
they’ll screw it up . everyone screws the sequels up now . gotg 2 was a disappointment . deadpool 2 will almost definitely try way too hard . if they do the spiderman sequel and it doesn’t end up losing over half the charm of homecoming , i will actually be shocked .

as a result , he never put on a disguise to lead the war , or used his powers to amplify the effectiveness of attacks : he whispered in humanity ' s ear , giving them all the opportunities they needed to become the monsters he believed them to be . drawing that idea out , it ' s safe to assume that ares has been guiding humanity for centuries , if not millennia - all leading to the great war , when humans finally had the technology capable of killing entire populations . he showed us the way . . . but allowed us the time to destroy ourselves , as he knew we would .
the architecture reminded me of minas tirith from lord of the rings : return of the king if the structures were built into the landscape rather than just on the side of a mountain . structures are covered with greenery and have water flowing freely all around with much of the interiors exposed to the outside elements , not unlike the throne room seen above .
in order to stop ares , zeus creates the amazons , which includes hippolyta ( connie nielsen ) , the queen of the amazons and future mother of diana prince . there’s also robin wright as general antiope and lisa loven kongsli as lieutenant menalippe , both hippolyta’s sisters . they succeed in stopping ares from creating chaos , but only for a short time .
one of my favorite items in my new spring collection at walmart ( and i have approximately 9 , 000 things on that list , ha ) are these beautiful embossed storage jars . they have a great texture , and the lids are gorgeous and colorful , and varied according to the size of the jar . they’re sold in packs of four [ … ]
credit goes to gal gadot , chris pine , danny huston , connie nielsen , robin wright , and director patty jenkins for delivering the most measured responses as possible to the comments . they are for sure bewildered by some of these blunt criticisms , but they don ' t hurl many insults back , and they respond to the comments in a respectful way .
but a friend told police that she spoke to coleman on the day he disappeared and he’d said he was going to stop by her house — though he never showed up . the same friend said that coleman mentioned on numerous occasions that “if he was ever to go missing she needed to make sure the police looked into [ sutton ] as the cause , ” according to the probable cause statement .
zeus creates mankind to be companions to the gods , letting man and god coexist peacefully . but zeus’ son ares becomes jealous of the relationship that zeus has with mankind . ares manipulates the minds of mankind to corrupt them , turning them against each other . this thrusts makind into a series of wars , all the while ares decides to start killing off the other gods , stopping them from influencing mankind .
the superhero film achieved the huge sum in its forth week of release , beating the record set by phyllida lloyd’s big screen adaptation of mamma mia , which grossed $ 609 . 8 million ( £479 million ) in 2008 , as well as beating 2015’s fifty shades of grey , directed by sam taylor - johnson , for the biggest launch by a female director – after taking $ 85 . 2 million ( £66 million ) in its first weekend of release .
[ antiope ] trained her harder than anyone , personally made her the strongest amazonian , and if diana figured out that she was a god , she wouldn ' t have to work as hard anymore or even fight as toughly ,
the user writes .
she ' d lose her moral compass . she could just walk into no man ' s land like no big deal or even decide not to fight at all since she ' s immortal , instead of fighting with honor and integrity .
the movie opens in modern day , after the events of batman v superman : dawn of justice . diana prince is working at the louvre in paris in the antiquities department . while at work , she receives a package from bruce wayne ( ben affleck ) containing the photo that she was trying to obtain from lex luthor in batman v superman . since this is diana’s first adventure away from her life with the rest of the amazonians , she begins to drift back to the memories of how she came to be involved with steve trevor and the war to end all wars .
that eagle was zeus ' s messenger and courier of thunderbolts , which adds new meaning to both diana ' s armor and that of her mother , queen hippolyta . since the queen literally carried the weapon of zeus , the eagle on her chest has both literal and figurative meaning to the immortal monarch . given that diana ' s blue and red armor is a perfect fit , and carries over the same designs of her mother ' s . . . perhaps it was always meant for her , whether she knew it or not . here ' s hoping we get some more clarification soon .
in the comics , the tale of gods and apocalypse summed up in norse mythology were actually real gods of the second world . when war erupted among them , ragnarok sent a wave of divine energy across the universe , creating the greek , egyptian , and other earthly gods . it then reached the edge of the universe , and bounced back , creating lesser demigods , or ' metahumans . ' we don ' t know if steppenwolf or other apokoliptian gods will reveal that same story to our heroes in justice league , but if so , it looks like zeus took all the credit for the second world ' s gift .

the film which is a remake of the 1959 film of the same name has a similar premise to that the fly ( 1986 ) which is a remake of the classic 1958 film of the same name . the film is about a woman whom undergoes a terrifying transformation into a wasp like mutant creature .

not only did the o . g . wasp , janet van dyne , make a surprise appearance in ant - man , marvel’s weirdest movie yet , but her daughter , hope ( evangeline lilly ) inherited the mantle at the end of the movie . now , the wasp’s role in the mcu is getting even bigger : marvel has announced an ant - man sequel , titled ant - man and the wasp .
one of my favorite “b” movies from the 1950s is a film called the wasp woman , released in 1959 . the film is about a woman named janice starlin who is the ceo of a cosmetics company . as she is quickly losing her youthful looks , she decides to inject herself with the queen wasp’s jelly . coincidentally , a string of murders rocks the city . it becomes obvious that janice’s vanity is the culprit . if she hadn’t been so intent upon recapturing her youth , the vile creature that emerges when she injects the jelly would not have been unleashed upon the city .
the most spectacular and puzzling thing about the the wasp woman is probably the poster art it inspired – a man in the clutches of a gigantic wasp – yet there’s nothing in the film to suggest such a moment . how to explain it ? a publicist with no respect for the truth ? well , i never ! despite the brevity of the shooting schedule , the wasp woman demonstrates corman was not a completely talentless director . his obscure but extraordinary masterpiece the intruder ( 1962 ) , a film many mainstream directors would be proud to have in their resumes , was limited only by a small budget , as was ( to a lesser extent ) the masque of the red death ( 1964 ) . i hope steven spielberg is reading this .

in 1958 the world first met “the fly . ” it was a 50’s horror classic…there have been sequels , and remakes ! the following year , there came a film that was clearly inspired by that film . instead of a man with a big - eyed bug mask , leave it to roger corman to give us a woman with a big - eyed bug mask . can you stand the terror of “the wasp woman ? ”

during the early 90′s , roger corman started producing several re - makes of his own films from the 50′s & 60′s and the wasp woman was one of them . i saw the trailer for it , and it seems like the 1995 version of the wasp woman might even be more cheesy fun than the original , with a bit better make - up effects ( of course ) , a bit of inept use of cgi and… i even saw some sort of seductive bedroom scene in that trailer . seems like i might get what i wanted to see after all in the 1995 re - make .

originally , wonder woman was formed by her mother hippolyta from a lump of clay , and while the story of her birth has been updated over the years to reflect the times , it seems fitting that so many subsequent heroines have sought to shape their own fictional lives from the mud of wonder woman’s proto - origin . as we get ready to watch ( and re - watch ) the wonder woman feature film starring gal gadot in the title role , we thought it was the perfect time to run down a list of princess diana’s many imitators . here , then , are 15 warrior women who rode wonder woman’s coattails to varying degrees of glory .

ly call the most versatile film - maker on the planet , but certainly one of the most prolific ones and on top of that , one that is always very creative with a low budget . the wasp woman isn’t a bad movie . okay , i have to admit that the opening scenes ( sloppily filmed shots with the bee - doctor and the wasp - doctor and their buzzing little friends in the yard ) looked pretty bad and were not very promising for the rest of the movie ( i mean , a character - - in this case michael mark as dr . zinthrop - - taking to himself or his little wasp friends always looks pretty stupid in a movie ) . however , as soon as the movie makes the switch to the interior sets of the cosmetic company , the movie gets considerably better and the directing becomes tighter .

the character of diana prince ( the words “wonder woman” are not uttered in the film , nor do they need to be ) is an embodiment of inspiration . the debut success of wonder woman over the weekend , if we are eternally lucky , will help end the foolish myth within the industry that people will not see a movie about women . hopefully , it will allow more female filmmakers a seat at the table to direct other tentpole projects .
one such character is ant - man ' s hope van dyne who was confirmed to be returning as the wasp at the climax of peyton reed ' s 2014 film .
‘ mask and funny looking hands . nothing wrong with that , really , and considering the budget this was made on , they handled the wasp woman well . but the second thing that let me down was… i expected the wasp woman at least to do a bit more in this movie ( and have a little more screen time while at it ) . i thought she was going to seduce men , trick them into making love to her and then… devour them in the bedroom . or something… but nope , none of that . the lack of creature action became a bit annoying even , until the third act . then the movie picks itself up and becomes a bit more fun . well , that is… janice sterling only transforms into the wasp woman three times , and all she does is behave like a vampire : go for the victim’s throat and bite him . but still , it’s not like you’ll have the time to become bored , because of the movie’s 73 minutes running time . and after all , when the movie rushed towards its climax and the events came to an abrupt closure ,

i’m not sure what might have caused this disclaimer since it’s a public domain film . “the wasp woman” was the second film riffed by cinematic titanic , premiering april 26 , 2008 , as a part of the usa film festival in dallas . it was next supposed to be performed june 21 , 2008 , in hollywood , but the screening changed to “doomsday machine . ” if the

this weekend ' s release of wonder woman represents multiple cinematic milestones . it ' s the first female - led superhero film in more than a decade , and with patty jenkins at the helm , it ' s the first to be directed by a woman . wonder woman is also the first female superhero to get her own movie in either of the two shared universes from rivals dc and marvel . jenkins is just the second female director to make a movie with a budget of more than $ 100 million ( kathryn bigelow , with 2002 ' s k - 19 : the widowmaker , was first ) and she now holds the record for the largest opening of all time for a female helmer , with wonder woman taking in an estimated $ 100 . 5 million .

review : this week’s film once again comes from my old friend and darling of the public domain , roger corman . directed by roger and filmed in a mere five days , the wasp woman ( 1959 ) stars the lovely susan cabot as proto - yuppie janice starlin , ceo and the public face of a large cosmetics company she herself has built up from nothing .
the wasp woman is a 1995 american cable television sci - fi horror film directed by jim wynorski ( cobragator ; sorceress ; chopping mall ; et al ) from a screenplay by daniella purcell ( burial of the rats ; dracula rising ) and guy prevost ( dinoshark ) , based on executive producer roger corman’s 1959 original film of the same name .
from the site . it seemed odd that galbraith would review this title , rather than dvdtalk’s regular mst3k / cinematic titanic reviewer , brian orndorf . i later heard from another reviewer that galbraith had laid claim to the title thinking it was a regular release of “the wasp woman” and was unpleasantly surprised to find it riffed . he pulled no punches :
now starlin is desperate to find him , both because she wants to get the project on the shelf and she’s been starting to have strange headaches . in the meantime , cooper has been snooping around zinthrop’s lab…that is , until he is attacked by a strange wasp creature . i wonder who it is ? eventually zinthrop is found and given his own place where he can both work and recover at starlin’s office . soon , the wasp woman attacks zinthrop’s nurse and bill and mary are left to try and stop the strange creature .
next spring , on a positive note , ava duvernay will become the third female director to make a film with a budget over $ 100 million , disney’s a wrinkle in time . and gina prince - bythewood has been set as the first woman of color to direct a comic book movie , the spider - man spinoff silver & black . it’s unfortunate that in 2017 , a feature directed by a woman , starring a woman , should be such a monumental step forward culturally . but that’s where we are . wonder woman matters , and it’s to dc’s credit that they pushed this movie , with this star , and this director , now .

the monument is being made from black granite with porcelain portraits of the four wasp from the lancaster area : margaret mcanally , 43 - w - 6 ; irma ' babe ' story , 43 - w - 6 ; flora belle reece , 44 - w - 4 and margaret ' ty ' killen , 44 - w - 8 . recessed in the granite will be a u . s . mint gold replica of the front and back of the congressional gold medal the wasp received last year . a steel archway and fifinella will top the granite monument , symbolizing the entrance to avenger field . on either side of the walkway leading up to the monument will be 38 engraved bricks to honor the 38 wasp pilots who were killed during their service . the bricks will have the the names , class and hometown of each of the 38 wasp . the local community has really supported this monument with funds being raised by a local middle school , rotary club and the av 99s .

any woman who lives into old age is humiliated by the experience of it whether she admits it or not - imagine descending from that with which men are . . .
as for the film itself ? it’s an interesting b - movie idea , with an aging cosmetics company owner turns to enzymes from the royal jelly of wasps to restore her youth , which causes her to mutate into the titular wasp woman . it’s kind of like a female version of “the fly , ” if it all took place inside the grayest office building ever . it’s not a visually exciting film .
for all its enjoyable films and characters , the marvel cinematic universe is plagued by indecision around its female leads . by the spring of 2019 , marvel will release its first film led by a woman : captain marvel , with oscar winner brie larson as the title character . even so , the movie has two directors : anna boden and ryan fleck . boden and fleck are talented filmmakers , the team behind half nelson and sugar , yet the optics of marvel waiting so long to let a woman lead one of their films while only having a woman co - direct are unavoidably bad .
meanwhile , film is following the path being blazed on television . the first marvel cinematic universe ( mcu ) film with a woman in a title role , ant - man and the wasp , is due out in 2018 ( it’s a lady wasp ) ; and the rumoured jennifer lawrence - starring captain marvel , in 2019 , will be about ms marvel and not her male incarnation from the comics . dc’s wonder woman is finally making her debut on the big screen , 42 years after she first appeared on us tv , with gal gadot playing her first in 2016’s batman v superman : dawn of justice and then in her own film the next year . finally , the ensemble suicide squad film , due in 2016 , includes four main females cast as supervillains .
as might be expected there are several other roger corman regulars in the cast and crew of the wasp woman . mary dennison is portrayed by barboura morris , whom you would remember as the charming beatnik carla from a bucket of blood ( 1959 ) . frank wolff , the senior villain in the definite - article - deficient beast from haunted cave ( 1959 ) , has a bit part as bed - delivery man with the moustache .
when the wasp cat attacks zinthrop , there is some stuggling ( mr . mark does his best to “fight” with the cat without actually hurting it ) but ultimately he does kill the cat , albeit just out of sight of the frame .
this is a common sentiment in film throughout the postwar era , particularly in science fiction . in many films , women are seductresses with malevolent intentions . the interesting thing about the wasp woman is that the main character doesn’t start out a monster , like so many other feminine characters in other post - war films . instead , she merely is a person who is prone to insecurity . the feminine element in the wasp woman is a great deal more human ( literally ) than in other films . if the fear of the aesthetic , or the power of beauty , is so paramount on so many different levels it is clear that appearances were more intimidating than they originally seemed in postwar america . hence , women could easily be turned into objects of fear and attraction when in all actuality america was still a misogynistic environment .
artemis is a warrior of the egyptian bana - mighdall offshoot of the amazonian tribe . she was created in 1994 by william messner - loeb and mike deodato as a replacement wonder woman , after hippolyta mistakenly foresaw the death of her daughter and conspired to save her life by stripping her of the title . far more brash and violent than diana , artemis’ tenure as wonder woman was short - lived , ending in her death at the hands of the white magician .

a reception in the hall of honor at the memorial .

there are some interesting elements to consider in the wasp woman . the timing of the plot is similar to many other sci - fi “b” movies of the time as the movie is only about an hour long . janice’s downfall comes in a matter of minutes , and although most of the film is about how her character develops from a beauty queen to a vile monster , i sort of wished the ending of the film offered a longer reflection on what the story meant . there are so many similar themes to king kong , a film that would have been familiar to both the creators of the film and its audience due to king kong’s many re - releases , particularly in the fifties . the idea that beauty killed the beast is predominant in both stories . particularly in the wasp woman , there is a sense that beauty is somehow sinister . the possessors of beauty , young women , can’t be trusted . it is tolerated for its aesthetic power in youth , but when it is no longer there the power that has been afforded to the beautiful is now overwhelming . therefore , women can’t be trusted with power because the need for aesthetic recognition can turn them , quite literally , into monsters .

the host mentions that “the wasp woman” is “one of only six films” roger corman directed in 1959 . that’s not quite accurate , imdb lists him as directing three films in 1959 and four in 1960 , though i suppose some of those could just been released in 1960 or completed in a 12 - month span . either way , seven films in two years . corman certainly had quantity over quality down .
