If they had chosen an actress from Nebraska it wouldn't have worked as well (nothing against the lovely women from Nebraska).\n\n<NAME> is a Wonder Woman for a new age. Many fanboys wanted a voluptuous clone of 70s Wonder Woman, <NAME>. What we got instead is someone lithe and graceful which is much more convincing in the role.\n\nMake no mistake though, Gal Gadot is gorgeous\u2014stunning even. She is every bit the goddess she portrays.\n\nThe modern makeover of Wonder Woman includes a costume that looks more like Roman gladiator armor, than a spandex outfit made out of the American flag. Gal Gadot looks fantastic, and still functional, in that costume. In fact, they make fun of how constricting women\u2019s clothing of the day was.\n\nMuch of the success of Wonder Woman, and more importantly, the casting of Gal Gadot, is due to Zack Snyder.\n\nGal Gadot\u2019s Performance\n\nGal Gadot was perfect for the role of Diana/Wonder Woman. She made me believe several different things that usually don't go together.\n\nHer innocence - She\u2019s young and she was raised in an utopian sheltered society with only women. When she ventures into the modern world, at war no less, her ability to portray someone who doesn\u2019t understand why people do the things they do is completely convincing.\n\n- She\u2019s young and she was raised in an utopian sheltered society with only women. When she ventures into the modern world, at war no less, her ability to portray someone who doesn\u2019t understand why people do the things they do is completely convincing. She\u2019s curious - Not everyone can pull off being surprised at the modern world. I was reminded of <NAME>\u2019 Starman\n\n- Not everyone can pull off being surprised at the modern world. I was reminded of Her sense of duty - When she went headlong into battle, despite the warnings from everyone, she demonstrated courage and leadership. Not only is that a great message for everyone, it was inspiring. I\u2019m not sure how many other actresses could have made those speeches, and made me totally buy into her performance.\n\n- When she went headlong into battle, despite the warnings from everyone, she demonstrated courage and leadership.

She's a soldier - Her Wonder Woman is far more physical than the version from the 70s and her fighting prowess translates exceptionally well on film. She can hang with any of the super dudes out there when it comes to combat. Maybe Gal Gadot\u2019s experience as a real soldier\n\n- Her Wonder Woman is far more physical than the version from the 70s and her fighting prowess translates exceptionally well on film.

Maybe Chemistry - The only thing that I didn't entirely buy was the chemistry between her and <NAME>\u2019s\n\nFrankly, Gal Gadot is perfect as Wonder Woman. And she\u2019s the best that\u2019s ever been.\n\nWhether it\u2019s the perfect casting to match the character, the modern updates to her look, or her wide-ranging performance, Gal Gadot redefined Wonder Woman.\n\nShe completely owns the role now.", "images": ["https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-c255166b9f3f0504a8437cee92a849d7", "https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e0b68b933dfdaf9772b15e0e0ceb5b29-c", "https://qsf.fs.quoracdn.net/-3-images.favicon.ico-26-ae77b637b1e7ed2c.ico", "https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-thumb-3611376-100-mhjwjksqxdxipqzhgdkzvcjgdnkfppuk.jpeg", "https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-274d73a7e65dd6da23d9d141c4bb07ed"], "top_img": "https://qsf.fs.quoracdn.net/-3-images.favicon.ico-26-ae77b637b1e7ed2c.ico", "keywords": [], "authors": [], "canonical_link": "https://www.quora.com/Did-you-like-Gal-Gadot-as-Wonder-Woman", "title": "Did you like Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman?", "meta_data": {"robots": "noarchive"}, "movies": [], "publish_date": null, "source": "https://www.quora.com", "summary": ""}
