I seem to recall you and I having a reverse disagreement on the change in Wonder Woman's costume last year. I hated changing the practical look while you mentioned you didn't mind her wearing pants. What changed? ;)
We both agreed that we hated the de-emphasized patriotism, which is part of an ugly trend in Hollywood. GI Joe as an internationl peace-keeping force in Belgium. *shudders* I won't even see the new Captain America because of the internationalism they're trying to impose on everything.
Not to mention David E. Kelley is producing this. That means this show is going to be ridiculously political. He can't help himself. Joss Whedon, someone with a lot of comic book experienc, would have been a better choice for this project. I think he was attached to direct the aborted WW movie although Whedon can't make up his mind on everything and always seems to have issue with studios (and vice versa).
Anyway, onto the costume! In this case, I can see modernizing it for the new era. I don't think bare legs is practical for fighting crime and the bare legs/skirt look would just look kind of odd. At the same time, the costume is ugly and restricting. The shineyness of it makes it look like some kind of adult Halloween costume. No sense of imagination at all. I'm shocked they actually kepte the blue/red colors. Nothing wrong with emphasizing her Amazon background but they should have put some stars on it too.
I've been a fan of Adrianne Palicki since Friday Night Lights. Was glad to see her get the role.
