I'm going to be a bit of an asshole here. With the amount of effort that she obviously put to attain that level of physical preparation (which is impressive for my couch potato standards), I'm a bit miffed that the costume itself is a bit meh. Still, she is a better wonder woman in that than I'll ever be even with the original costume and a team to set me up!

Obviously, she's attractive. I'll let someone else posts tired Futurama memes.
But I'm glad more women are getting into weightlifting and no longer believe the myth about it making you look masculine.
There was (and still is) a taboo around it, but I think it would do a world of good to a lot of women. Not only does it make you look more attractive, but feeling stronger can be very empowering, and I suspect help you feel safer and more confident.
Personally, I've found it's great for keeping weight off and tackling mental health issues too. My life may not always go as planned, but I keep lifting, and I keep making (admittedly) slow progress. And when it comes time to lift the washing machine, I no longer have issues.

The women’s 76 kg IPF worlds competition was insane this year. You should watch it. And join me in !powerlifting@lemmy.ml

The way Wonder woman in the movies should have been. A jacked up Amazon who has trained to fight her whole life, not skinny, supermodel, 0oz of muscle gal Gadot.
Yeah but where are you gonna find actresses that also do body building.
Or willing to get roided up.
We had one, but she started saying some things about how conservatives were the real victims of the holocaust...
