Diana + revolving door

#she’s …. thor. #she’s thor – but better#i’m glad this is a thing people are coming around to#and i’m glad tonally they fit in the same shape #with gags like this#which are public ‘odd’ behaviour#but that the subject finds in no way a problem and in fact is glad to learn a new experience#and like for example – you know the thor gag where he goes to the pet store and asks for a horse#and is told they just have dogs/cats/birds and he goes ‘then give me one of those large enough to ride’#that is EXACTLY the sort of interaction that i can see this 2017 patty jenkins diana having#100% well-intentioned #100% fish out of water#but driven honest and determined#so that when that gag is set up you laugh at it but not reliant on humiliation#because both films take a long time to set up THEIR point of view first before they throw the gags at you#so you see their home – asgard or themyscira – you see what’s normal to them#and you understand that the stakes are high for them and you’re on board and empathise#so a moment like this that could be ‘lol look @ this dumb person’ instead reads as ‘YES YOU NEARLY GOT IT! YOU’RE DOING GREAT BB’#it’s an EARNED gag because it’s not a cheap shot at them coming as it does after such a detailed character intro (via @harrietvane)
