(Above: Wonder Woman blocks out the bad.)
With her film roles in the fan-favorite "Transformers" franchise and the upcoming adaptation of "Jonah Hex," model/actress Megan Fox was well on her way to becoming a darling of the comics community. Well, at least until she was asked about rumors that she might play Wonder woman in an upcoming film, in an interview that was posted today at the "Times Online":
(See the diss after the jump)
"Wonder Woman is a lame superhero. She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don't get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don't want to do it."You're an attractive lady, Fox, but if you're gonna go all mean girl on the world's most popular superheroine -- particularly when you have no idea what she represents -- then you can take a super-long walk off a super-short pier. Despite her slamming bod, Wonder Woman is even more beloved for her intelligence and strength of character, so maybe you should stick to roles that are a little more within your scope: running, screaming, and looking pretty.

Hey, maybe she's thought this one through. I mean, after that cheesy Batman live-action series a couple decades ago, everyone just locked in on that one version of the character and then that franchise went nowhere. I'm sure Wonder Woman would have the same problem.

Ah, yes, Attacking a woman who dislikes your FEMINIST ICON as being nothing but a screaming pretty girl who's only value is in her looks.
Wonder woman would be proud, you are a true feminist

Sure, it might be wise to avoid the role on the basis of the movie studio probably screwing it up, but Fox isn't saying that -- she's saying that this beloved character she knows exactly two things about is totally lame. Not the best way to court the comics demo.

Well I don't think she has all that much going for her in casting for WW even before this statement. She lacks the size. There are definitely better choices out there.

Get a grip people. W.W.is a silly outdated concept that needed to be dumped years ago.The fact that grown men and women get paid good money to pump out W.W. art and storylines month after month and this crap still has a fanbase is unbelievable!But then her male counterpart Wolverine (unrestrained male rage as entertainment)is just as stupid.

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby...C'mon. You know all too well (since you ARE posting commentaries on a comics site, after all!)that in the worlds of fictional entertainment AND reality, what might subjectively be one person's silly outdated concept is another's much-needed escapist passion. Besides, isn't this a medium that thrives on outdated ideas anyway? Like the ages-old shock value that writers resort to in killing a character off, only to have another scribe bring them back alive?

Altar ego, seriously!The only reason I protest is that comic land has proven time and again that there is talent out there that is beyond the pale. It ranges from profoundly thought provoking to hysterically funny.All the standard canon from both DC and Marvel has done is clog the arteries of creativity with shlock that is killing far too many trees.I admit I like some of that same canon but enough is enough! Frankly W.W.upsets me because she gets in the way of true recognition for those major icons Betty and Veronica!

forget that DC Re-Vamped W.W. for the Justice League Unlimited series, & that she had WAY MORE powers and abilities than past incarnations, Mz. Prince has lasted 70 yrs and still going strong, but how long before TODAYS "IT" GIRL turns in to the only parts i can get ain't worth sh##.

If Megan Fox played Wonder Woman, i wouldnt see the movie anyways. She isnt even that great an actress, shes mainly all sex appeal. Just another fad actress that proves hollywood 'talent' is going down the crapper. She belongs in porn. :D
