In case you missed it, Princess Diana of Themyscira has made waves in the movie industry. Otherwise known as Wonder Woman or Diana Prince, this Marvel character was revamped for the big screen in 2017. To summarize the origin of Wonder Woman, Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons was instructed to mold clay into the form of a baby, which was then brought to life by Zeus. But don’t forget about Gal Gadot, the actress who plays Wonder Woman. Gal is one heck of a badass herself, but we’ll save her story for another time. Here are some quotes from the film showcasing Wonder Woman.
1. When she's determined af to achieve world peace.
"The gods made the Amazons to restore peace to the world, and it’s what I’m going to do."
2. That time her mom reminded her she's too good for any guy.
Queen Hippotya: "You have been my greatest love. Today you become my greatest sorrow. Be careful, Diana. They do not deserve you."
3. When she'd rather wear her version of athleisure than an uncomfortable dress.
Diana: "How can a woman possibly fight in this?"
Etta Candy: "Fight? We use our principles. Although I am not opposed to engaging in a bit of fisticuffs should the occasion rise."
4. Diana's realization about mankind, love, and her undying life mission.
"I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind; but then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light. I learnt that inside every one of them there will always be both. The choice each must make for themselves — something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know... that only Love can truly save the world. So now I stay, I fight, and I give — for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever."
5. Her determination to endure the fight... whatever the fight may be.
"I will fight — for those who cannot fight for themselves."
6. That time she reminded herself she's too good for any guy. Preach it, girl!
"When it comes to procreation, men are essential, but for pleasure, not necessary."
7. From the woman who is Wonder Woman on and off the big screen.
“Wonder Woman is not relying on a man, and she’s not there because of a love story. She’s not there to serve someone else.” — Gal Gadot
There you have it, folks, Wonder Woman is quite the superhero, and very relatable too. I strongly encourage you to see the film if you haven’t already, not only for all of the Wonder Woman one-liners, but also to see the wonderful work director Patty Jenkins created!
"And remember that, in a world full of ordinary mortals, you are a Wonder Woman." — Queen Hippolyta ("Wonder Woman", 2009).
