Synopsis: Goals: On first watch I loved this movie, so I didn’t change much... just to fix that ending, and to make the end more in line with her character in BvS - that these heroes are awesome but mankind is questionable. Main Changes: • Distance this version of Wonder Woman’s origin story from writer Azzarello's New 52 retcon where Wonder Woman is the child of Zeus and Hephaestus, restoring Wonder Woman's made-from-clay origin in the end. • Make Diana seem less naïve about some basic things like marriage and hand-holding. • Diminish the role of Dr. Poison to simply a lackey of the General, so her Act 3 disappearance less important (Dr. Poison falls into the easy trope that suggests disability — and in this case, specifically facial disfigurement — means that a character is evil. We never find out Dr. Poison’s backstory and whether her facial scarring caused her to become a villain or happened after she already was one, but the message is the same- we should be afraid of people whose faces and bodies are different from our own.) • Remove much of the exposition and the Dr. Poison confrontation from the final battle. • Avoid the strange paradoxical elements from the final Act (i.e. soldiers hugging after the defeat of Ares.) • Make the end of WW less optimistic, more in line with MoS and BvS that these heroes are awesome but mankind is questionable.
