I saw "Wonder Woman" on Friday and let me just say….it was amazing! At first I was hesitant to see this movie because growing up, Wonder Woman was never really one of my favorites. It wasn’t because she was a woman either, or whatever excuse people try to make for not watching it. It was because Wonder Woman kind of reminded me of Superman when it came to seeming too “goody two shoes.” But after watching this movie, I realized what a complete badass she was. I mean was flying, sword slicing and just taking names throughout that whole movie. Oh, did I mention she was fine as hell? After freaking out throughout the whole movie, when I walked out of the theater I had a realization: I need a Wonder Woman in my life.
Obviously not now because I’m not looking for anything anytime soon, but like years down the line I think I would want my own Wonder Woman. You know how people say opposites attract? Well I never really believed in that. Yeah that idea looked cute in Disney movies where two completely different people could fall in love in like three days and live happily ever after, but I never could give in to that crap. What’s funny is how Superman and Lois Lane were seen as the ideal couple over the years in comics when, truth be told, I'd rather see Superman with Wonder Woman. It’s not like I hate Lois Lane or anything, its just that I feel Superman and Wonder Woman are more on each other’s level.
Now, I know I’m about to have someone say, “What do you mean on the same level?” Well let me explain. You see, when you hear people say on the same level, you usually assume it’s from a financial perspective. For example, Beyonce and Jay Z. But being on someone’s level is more in depth than just money. I feel you've also got to be on their level from a mental and spiritual perspective. You guys don’t have to have everything in common with each other, but you have to be able to match each other’s mindsets or energy. Or at least be able to find a way to fit around it without changing yourself. That’s why you need yourself a Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman is strong, intelligent, kind, honest, loyal and, more importantly, independent. The whole damsel in distress thing can be cool sometimes, but Wonder Woman doesn’t need a man to save her. She fights her own battles. You definitely see that in the film. Some guys get intimidated by a strong woman like that, but not me. I think it’s a turn on. I know I’m a man. I don’t need a macho ego to prove that. If Wonder Woman wants to save the world and come home to me and binge watch "Game of Thrones," let her. It’s fine by me. So forget that Lois Lane and go get yourself a Wonder Woman. I promise you won’t regret it. Peace.
