Maxwell Lord is character with such little lore and impact it seems, that so far his two biggest appearances are nothing like what he is in the comics. In Supergirl, he's just a dicky smart billionaire who is a discount Lex Luthor. Doesn't even have his powers and ends up being "turned good" by the end. Here, he's just a con man who lucked out onto a magic stone. I probably like the movie version a bit more, just because Pedro Pascal chews the scenery.

As for Cheetah, I thought Kristen Wiig knocked it out of the park. I was afraid they were going to make her Electro from TASM 2, but she really did a great job with what she was given. Easily one of the best villains in the DCEU (Zod is still king though). I love how she becomes Cheetah, wanting to be her own person, rather than just a Diana clone.

Sppeaking of clones, did you read my Pre Review? In it, I talk about how Diana & Cheetah are clone charaters.......Cheetah is what Diana could've been...Both are rich (according to the original incarnation), privileged, and both could very well become spoiled and want more. Cheetah did want more.

But as the hero, Diana did not go down that path. And now has to reform others to lead them down the correct path.

Dude!! I said NO spoilers!

Man, I could've been suprised to see Lynda Carter, but now I already know!!

Come on.

@brettjett: I think you should just avoid this topic until you watch the movie (that's what I did)

Guys, can any of you at least tell me if the movie stayed true to the themes involved with WW and Cheetah? If you're unsure what those are, read the "PreReview WW84" thread on this message board.
