Will Wonder Woman Save the DCEU?

It's all up to her now. It's going to be up to Wonder Woman to save the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). So far, 3 released projects have gotten to the big screen, these include: Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad. All of these have been released with mixed reviews, while some claiming that the films are great others are saying that poorly put together messes. I'm a DC fanboy at heart, and I'm always going to love the films simply because they are DC, regardless of quality. As such, if a series repeatably puts out poor quality after poor quality product, people are going to stop going to see the films because they expect the same thing.

One of the major problems with the DCEU is that they are almost rushing these films out. They aren't giving the characters in the film proper time to develop and at the studios by extension are cutting the films down dramatically, sometimes removing a few small scenes which really add good development for the movie. The stories being told often hint at a great backstory that happened before the films, this almost ruins the fun for long time fans because they can't see these stories told the way they should be, and it confuses newcomers who don't know what's going on or what's being referenced. In addition to this, several of those on working on the production of these movies have left due to "creative differences" and as such have left the studio scrambling to find new directors. Even Wonder Woman has had to deal with problems like these.

The next production from Warner Bros studios is going to be Wonder Woman. Her character was introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and now is being given her own film to flesh out her origin and character.

The DCEU desperately needs to knock this ball out of the park in order to make a stand against their direct rival in this franchise.

Already, there are supposedly sources close to the film that claim it's a mess and the pacing is all over the place. I'm trying to look towards the film with optimistic eyes, as I want this film to desperately succeed. So, this movie needs to be done right. So far, I think it very well does have a chance to do so. Being directed by Patty Jenkins, and with a story done by Zack Snyder and Allan Heinberg, and with DC comics giant Geoff Johns working with Allan Heinberg on the screenplay. Both of the writers do have previously credits with the Wonder Woman character, and with a female director, we can expect the character to be treated with the respect she deserves.

I'll be seeing as DCEU regardless of how they look, simply because I love the franchise. But importantly, if they don't start trying to make these products correctly, other people aren't going to.

Wonder Woman is going to be released June 2, 2017

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
