When the trailer for "Wonder Woman" recently dropped at the San Diego Comic Con, people lost their sh*t. Now, this is totally what is to be expected when talking about the first major comic book adaption to hit theaters with a female superhero lead. The film looks like it is going to be phenomenal – many people even think that Wonder Woman is the hero the world deserves right now.

The question tugging on everyone's mind is, will the long anticipated movie live up to the hype? With this being Wonder Woman's first big solo debut, she definitely deserves the attention. But there is only so much you can get out of a three-minute trailer. Will Wonder Woman be an optimistic representation for female superheroes? Or just a hyper-sexualized, fighting piece of eye candy? I mean, sex sells. We all know this. Traditionally, females in superhero films may appear to be empowered, but in reality they are just props that are objectified in order to exist in relations with men.

When CBS released the trailer for its "Supergirl" series, people were disappointed to see Kara Zor-El reduced to a stereotypical, giggling secretary consumed with thoughts of "making it in the big city." Wardrobe dilemmas and coffee runs are not totally what we want out of our strong female superheroes; it was just like someone put a superhero suit on a basic female character and said "There, you guys happy now?" Often Hollywood misrepresents women in the media through visual depiction and the starvation of their personal agency, and this is one of the fears many fans have about the new "Wonder Woman" film.

Another worry is that the movie may just be an elaborate Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor love story. Director Patty Jenkins said she wanted to tell a straightforward origin tale, framed by a Wonder Woman and Steven Trevor love story. This is concerning because if Wonder Woman’s origin story revolves around a man – she follows Steve back to the real world after his plane crashes on Paradise Island, and he is healed by princess Diana, who is Wonder Woman – this might undermine her validity as a superhero. The idea that a female superhero only gains her power and finds her destiny from exerting her sexuality is frustrating; any choice made by the female superhero is not her own, but rather done for someone else.

It must be noted that in superhero movies, men and women are equally sexualized – I mean, just think about the unrealistic expectations of having Thor or Batman's waistline. It is never OK to normalize attractiveness – which the media is so good at doing – but, at the end of the day, this film is absolutely a win for women. Hopefully, "Wonder Woman"'s appeal will not be based solely on her sexuality, but as a strong addition to the superhero universe.
