She still is struggling with the loss of Steve, but it has been about 40 years since he died so it's kind of hard to believe she' still hanging on to it. The character of Wonder Woman feels very different in this movie.

Also since this came second, it feels like it's trying to piggy back on to the success of other nostalgia-heavy tv shows and movies that have come out recently. For Stranger Things I thought it worked well, but I don't think it fits Wonder Woman very well. Oversaturated 1980's nostalgia is everywhere. It looks similar to season 3 of Stranger Things.

Sadly, I was somewhat disappointed with WW84. I LOVED the first Wonder Woman movie, so I was super excited for the sequel. That said, it also has stereotypical representations of Middle Eastern people and problematic messages around the idea of returning colonized land, the impact of domestic abuse, and lack of consent/agency. This sequel isn't quite as diverse as the original but does feature female leads, a woman writer-director, and Pascal, who's Latino, as the villain. Language is infrequent but includes "s-t," "bitch," and "hell" adults drink socially. One character's physical appearance deteriorates disturbingly, with blood dripping out of his ears, nose, etc. Characters are injured, sometimes gravely, but not killed - though there are a few sad plot twists. Expect battle scenes, car chases, heavy artillery, gun use, references to nuclear weapons, children in danger, and beatings/hand-to-hand combat. While there's no world war (or war god) in this movie's story, it does have near-constant peril/risk, with much of the world devolving into mass chaos as the result of the villains' actions. There's more romance in Wonder Woman than most other superhero films: Diana and Steve embrace, kiss, and are shown in bed together (nothing graphic seen) another couple also makes out. Gal Gadot returns as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, who finds herself up against two new villains ( Kristen Wiig and Pedro Pascal) who are motivated by envy and greed - but is also reunited with her long-lost love, Steve Trevor ( Chris Pine). Parents need to know that Wonder Woman 1984 is the sequel to 2017's Wonder Womanand takes place about 65 years after the events of the first film.
