The Wonder Woman Movie That Will Never Be

IGN Comics: Wonder Woman. What was your take on the movie?

Joss Whedon: My take on the movie was simply the story of somebody who saw the world with fresh eyes. Somebody who saw that the Gods were still keeping us down, even though they might have changed their names or become companies. And the world is horribly out of balance and not as good as it should be. It was sort of her journey to understanding what makes us the way we are, because she wants desperately to help and be a hero. It was basically her journey towards becoming a human being, without which no heroism is truly worthy. So it was about the ability to stand up and do the best you can, and to learn about the strength that comes out of weakness, which is what I often write about... but I'm not going to be writing about that anymore. I don't honestly know what turned the studio off. They never told me, so I can't say what you can expect to see should they make the movie, because I don't know what they're looking for.

That's just sad. They're going to make some kind of weak Fantastic Four-like movie instead of this?

What's that? What does this have to do with education? Hey, you can learn a lot from Joss Whedon.
