NBC has released the photos of Adrienne Palicki dressed as the role of Wonder Woman for their new series. I was very excited to see my favorite superhero revamped for the 21st century. I wanted to see what kind of exciting spin they would give my childhood role model… until I saw this.
I think this costume is badly designed. For one, Wonder Woman’s original outfit consisted of shorts and red calve-high boots. This new style has long, blue pants that become Palicki’s shoes. This version is not only tacky, but also incorrect. The original Wonder Woman would never be caught dead in shoe-pants.
Secondly, I can see the sexed-up series already. The exaggerated cleavage on Palicki explains why a movie now-a-days can’t make a buck without at least one gesture toward sex and in this case, TWO. Adrianne Palicki is practically falling out of her corset. How do the new creators of the series plan on having her flying around kicking villain butt without losing her bustier?
Take a look at the original Wonder Woman and make your own comparison.
What do you think about the new Wonder Woman?

@ohveryoung@xanga - To me it seems like a cheap Halloween costume though.

I really hate what they’ve done to her. They’ve made her a cheesy, unrealistic blow-up doll. I can’t stand it.

I, for one, love the new costume. Come on, it’s way more believable that she would fight crime in pants anyway. And the outfit is cute.

Actually they remade this for all the reasons you hated it, haha. Seriously though, you should be able to find pictures of the new outfit. Then blog if you like it or not. =]

@hellsingdude@xanga - But come on, so does the original costume. I wrote a blog about this a few days ago, http://ohveryoung.xanga.com/744596994/wonder-woman-gets-a-makeover-and-i-love-it/. You can see the original costume and the new one both.

Sorry to burst your bubble but wonder woman has always been “sexed up”….and how in the world did they sex her up by covering more of her body….?

@ohveryoung@xanga - Sorry I was speaking of her old costume, so I guess we are within the same mind set. The new series had two different costumes planned, and the first one is the one I disliked. But the outfit is cute.

@hellsingdude@xanga - That’s a lot better then this costume. It doesn’t look so plastic like and fake. It looks like some thought was put into it. You know what I mean? The costume above is horrible, I will say.
guest
They’ve changed up the costume some since, the boots were changed to red.

lol @ shoe-pants
I like it. I wish they would have kept the bottoms high waisted and the original red and white boots, though.

Television ruining a comic hero? Astonishing.

That’s disappointing. I guess I’ll be looking for the Linda Carter Wonder Woman on DVD.

@Hinase@xanga - Totally understand ya! ^_^
guest
I don’t like the NEW real costume. So cheap looking… Blue leggings? really?
guest
they actually changed the outfit again and i personally think this outfit here is better than what they changed it to. but that’s my opinion
guest
the costume change is terrible. and her boobs seem to be popping out of her top.
guest
The bustier isn’t as bad as the pants! WTF? She needs a thong bottom or something! And where is the waist slimming belt not the hip hugging golden stripe of death…. LMAO

I just love that because of the fan outcry over the blue spandex pants they changed the outfit! THANK YOU FANS! Sure, it is still the same concept, but the more natural looking fiber on the pants and the red boots just look SO much better.
Then again, I’ve always been a batman girl myself. So meh.
guest
…Old school Wonder Woman would kick this girls ass, hands down. Check out that sexy srs bisnes look on her face, and those arms could kill…. The new one really looks like an inflatable doll…

Original Wonder Woman? Are you shitting me? GTFO. Now.
