Wonder Woman has the distinction of being one of the better film series in the Dceu, which ultimately collapsed and is awaiting its reboot at the hands of James Gunn. Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot were able to craft a stunning narrative, one that talked about themes of war and peace, that painted humanity in a fundamentally flawed light.

However, despite the praises that were heaped on the film, one pivotal scene in the movie undoes the themes and the motifs that the film sets up, destroying what the film was trying to say. Wonder Woman as a film lays all the blame for the war at the feet of the human race, waxing poetic about humanity’s capacity for inflicting suffering. However, one particular scene flips the script completely, changing what the film had set up all this time.

Wonder Woman hasn’t even hit our screens yet but talk surrounding the future of Gal Gadot’s Diane Prince has already begun and the catalyst for this is director Patty Jenkins in a recent interview she gave to The Toronto Sun.

Warner Bros take on the DC character has been lacking a big promotional push for the film, which opens in the UK on the 2nd of June, but a number of new TV spots featuring first looks at the Villian Ares and Sir Patrick Morgan played by David Thewlis have made an appearance. We think this is the beginning of the Wonder Woman overload for the next few weeks.

We have two new TV spots for Wonder Woman for you to enjoy! Each one features some never before seen footage from the film and damn, this movie looks good! The first spot entitled "Together" offers us our first look at David Thewlis as Sir Patrick Morgan, who sits on the war council advocating for peace. The second TV spot is called "Power" and it gives us a brief glimpse of the villain Ares fighting Wonder Woman. It's basically a quick shot of his armored hand striking Wonder Woman's bracelets. There are a few other bits of cool looking footage that I think you'll enjoy as well.

It sounds weird to say it, but I’ve missed you guys. One of the things I enjoy most about Ask Drew as a format is that you are the writers of the show. You’re the ones telling me exactly what you’d like to know about, and as much as I can without getting anyone (including myself, hopefully) in trouble, I will answer whatever questions you send me. I’m going to confess to how fragile I am sometimes here. When I saw Steve Weintraub from Collider start using a nearly-identical game to my Movie God (created almost 20 years ago by myself, Patrick Morgan, and Scott Swan) in his interviews, it bummed me out so much that I sort of gave up on Ask Drew as a whole. I’d played the game for years as part of my now-defunct podcast, and here on the TV segments, and...

Been a while, hasn't it? There is only one problem with our video team, and that is that they are a finite number of human beings, and we throw more work at them than anyone could possibly accomplish. Yet they do, week after week. Part of the reason "Ask Drew" was on vacation was because there just wasn't time to get it done on top of everything else we were doing. Thing is, it's going to stay busy here, so we're going to do our best to get this back in the rotation every few weeks. When I put out the word about this week's episode, you guys sent in plenty of questions as always, including a pretty ferocious Movie God challenge. A quick note about Movie God. The game was created by me, Scott Swan, and Patrick Morgan back in the early '90s, and for the longest time,...
