There's a weird moment in this episode where Diana tells her mother that Steve "doesn't have a devious bone in his body" and Wonder Girl, sassily responds back "you would know" which sounds like a joke about Steve's boner. Steve seems unaware of his feelings for her, and totally non-threatened by Wonder Woman always coming to his rescue. But Diana is obviously totally in love with Steve Trevor throughout the series. If you stripped any of the character's dolls of their costume, none would have genitals.

One of the strangest things about the Seventies series is its mixture of romantic devotion and asexuality. Will Yeoman Diana Prince suddenly be renamed "Ofsteve"? I don't remember this ickiness from childhood. We're to send them to Berlin for study and possible breeding. Over a beautiful image of Diana and sisters panning for feminum in the water, this disturbing line. When the Nazi's capture Paradise Island they force the Amazons to strip the feminum mine and we learn that the Nazi powers that be want all the Amazons kept alive.

I love this image because it gets the camp and color of the TV series but also its 70s era version of girlpower which is steeped in the male gaze (the amazons all wear micro skirts that are often sheer covering what amounts to bathing suits) but also unapologetically feminine. That's silly and campy, sure, but if you stop to think about it an incredibly useful superpower. Here we see future Oscar darling Debra Winger as Drusilla watching her mother Queen Hippolyta (Oscar nominee Carolyn Jones who is surely best remembered for playing Morticia Addams in The Addams Family series) train her older sister Diana (Lynda Carter) in the art of spinning so that your can change clothes. She has to think back (Flashback alert!) to the spinning lesson on Paradise Island.
It's all in how you spin!In one scene Wonder Girl, attempting a rescue herself, tries to change into her own super costume and fails.
If not there should be!īronze Medal: the Amazonian secret of sudden glamour. There's probably a thesis paper somewhere about that. What is it with super hero and genre narratives and magic metals? Adamantium, Vibranium, Unobtainum, Feminum. The first season of Wonder Woman takes place during WW II and in this episode the Nazis inadvertently learn the location of Paradise Island (Thanks for nothing, Wonder Girl!) and plan to attack and get all the "feminum" super metal for themselves to deflect Allied bullets. Like Steve Rogers, she first came to global fame fighting Nazis and like the good Captain became a contemporary heroine too (through Amazon rarely-aging genetics or something?). Ready? Board your invisible jet and meet me after the jump.Ĭaptain America isn't the only hero whose origin story has stayed firmly planted in World War II.

We're looking at a two part episode "The Feminine Mystique" for this week's 'choose your favorite image' exercize because they're well remembered episodes and because they co-star 80s movie star Debra Winger who is currently back onscreen in The Lovers. She starred as the Amazon princess for three seasons stretching from the pilot's airing in November 1975 through the finale in September 1979. Lynda Carter first came to fame by winning a national beauty contest in 1972 (the awkwardly titled "Miss World America") and Wonder Woman was her big break after a few low profile gigs. For this week's edition of Hit Me With Your Best Shot with Warner Bros Wonder Woman (2017) finally hitting movie theaters, we're taking a trip back to the mid 70s when the world's most famous superheroine made her most famous trek into live-action.
