The original was well received and made good money. The sequel did terribly financially with poor reviews.

The Gal Gadot hype in the 2010’s was always overdone. Reviews of Wonder Woman at the time noted her lack of acting skills and that the same lack of skills made it hard to take that Justice League movie seriously.

Rhea Ripley should have been Wonder Woman. Then again, she got lucky by avoiding that god awful anti-communist sequel.

Looks like this will be a common occurrence during the second Gilded Age
