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 #so like yes thor smashing a mug is funny #but it’s not *humiliating* funny (which btw -for whom is that funny?? ugghhh) #you know exactly WHY thor would smash a mug and yell ‘another!‘ #you know why diana would yell ‘LOOK IT’S A BABY’ in the middle of a street #you’ve just spent like 25 screen minutes with her family in her home! #so it’s funny but it’s affectionate and understandable! #any way i have a lot of diana/thor parallel feelings
