GAL GADOT Just Gained 50 lbs of Muscle for Wonder Woman! Yeah, right…

(This latest picture of Gal Gadot strutting her Wonder Woman guns is what inspired this angsty fanboy piece.)

It’s kinda messed up that fandom hopes for a headline like that. I’ve never really seen a problem with Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Sure, she’s a twig compared to Gina Carano, who’s my number one choice, but Gadot’s not exactly chopped liver.

If you haven’t hear any of the backlash, a good deal of fanboys hate that BATMAN VS SUPERMAN director Zack Snyder cast Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. They’ve claimed everything, from twiggy arms to small breasts, as only some of their innumerable complaints, but none of it really makes sense.

I mean, really… How many Amazonian women exist in Hollywood? And before you cite your long list of badass women, grasp your rose tinged bifocals and place them on the counter. Alright, now, I’ll ask it again, how many Amazonian women are there? Not that many by my count. Even when we compare Gal Gadot to the most badass female heroines in history, she’s not THAT bad.

Sigourney Weaver? Sure, she was a badass Ripley, but even at 6′ 0″, she was an incredibly slender, lanky protagonist in the Alien series.

Linda Hamilton? Outside of that super sweet black SWAT gear she sported in Terminator 2, she’s actually smaller, WAY smaller than Gal Gadot.

Milla Jovovich? Same height as Gal Gadot, but she’s actually skinnier! You’d never claim that Milla wasn’t badass, though, as we’ve all seen her Zombie slaying mastery.

And even when you compare Gal Gadot to an Amazonian peer like Xena actress Lucy Lawless, Gadot doesn’t seem to different. Just look at the photo below:

As you see, Xena’s quite the beefcake, but she’s still not as hyper-ripped as fanboys want Wonder Woman. Which is really weird, since Lucy Lawless has been at the forefront of Wonder Woman fancasting for the past 20 years!

So, to all my fanboy doubters, give Gadot some time. Sure, she’s started to work out. And sure, she’s probably gonna gain some muscle for the role. BUT, you should neither expect a uber muscled Gadot nor should you bully the actress into fulfilling that body form.
