Screen Rant's WONDER WOMAN pitch meeting

[JasonPratt]

This series is great -- saved the channel by some accounts.

For some reason they decided to include their tagline (and original series name) "Super easy, barely an inconvenience", for a disconnected scene after the main skit this time -- possibly as commentary on trolling fans with post-credit sequences.

But I decided to comment with extra sequences, not mentioned in their skit (though naturally there are small points of topical overlap), where the catchphrase could have been used.

"So, Diana rescues Steve in this meet-cute scene when his plane gets shot down over Themyscara." "Product placement!" "What?" "What?" "I don't--" "I was thinking we could have everyone slightly mispronounce the island's name, to sound like Femme Mascara." "Okay!" "Because this movie being set in World War One doesn't have much opportunity for that." "Good idea!" "You were saying?" "She rescues him after he's shot down in the water and then there's our first big fight sequence." "With Amazons vs fighter planes?" "What?" "Well, you said he got shot down, so--" "No, that's, I don't know how they could fight against fighter planes." "With bows and arrows I guess." "What?" "We already made the end-credit abstract title sequence like all such movies have nowadays." "And?" "And the Amazons are shooting down fighters with bows and arrows." "Well, that's an idea, but I wanted more of a fight on the beach." "The fighter planes land?" "No, no, there are German marines." "From where?" "The destroyer that's chasing Steve." "Chasing a plane?" "Sure." "Could ships do that back then?" "Sure." "How do they get through the force field? Or Steve for that matter?" "The what now?" "You said earlier Zeus created the island for his Amazons and gave them a force field." "I did?" "To protect the island {riffling pages} I think, back here somewhere." "Oh, there's no force-field, people can stick their heads straight through the illusion." "That's really convenient!" "Yeah, and see, that way the destroyer can sail in and land some marines to fight the Amazons." "And they have swords and bows, and the Germans have guns!" "Right!" "Women with swords and bows are tight!" "No kidding! Great for the trailer, too!" "And then after the fight, how do they beat the destroyer?" "The what now?" "The destroyer which brought the marines. It would be shelling them on the shore after they beat the marines. That would provide a threat they'd have a hard time fighting against, ramping up the tension to a big crazy climax." "No, it's super-easy, barely an inconvenience." "Bold choice!" "See, we'd have the marines kill the Princess Bride." "Good idea!" " Right, that's, like, an homage." "And then they get super torqued when the shells start falling afterward?" "No, no, then they take Steve up to the temple and tie him up." "The Nazis? You said they were dead." "No, the Amazons." "Oh." "An island full of hot women tying him up." "Oh, right, yeah!" "And making him tell the truth." "Hot!" "And then he takes a bath." "Tight!" "And that's where we'll have the awkward penis joke!" "Excellent!" "While he's shirtless." "For the ladies!" "Among other people, sure." "And then?" "Just some plot exposition, don't want to get too racy after the penis joke." "Eh, maybe a good idea." "And that's how we solve that problem." "What problem?" "Exactly!"

"So, since they're in a hurry to get to England, they're gonna fly in her invisible jet to get there?" "No, what? No, that would be silly." "Oh." "No, they're going to sail to England." "Oh." "On a sailboat." "Oh." "An OLD sailboat." "Oh. Wait, did you say sail all the way to England from Themyscyra?" "Sure." "But that's, like, off the coast of Greece somewhere?" "I guess." "Why not sail to some other Allied country?" "Which one?" "I don't know, my memory of WW1 is hazy." "The United States?" "Yeah, no wait, that's on the other side of the Atlantic." "I don't really see the problem here." "It's just, they're in a hurry..." "Uh huh." "And telephones exist in this world, right?" "They do! ...{scribbling on some pages}" "But they're going to sail, to England, from Greece, in a hurry." "Well, I wanted there to be this scene of sexual tension and some lesbianism acknowledged." "Oh!" "Y'know, for the fans." "Right!" "And the kids." "Right! Lesbianism is tight!" "Yeah." "It's just, I mean, they're going to be on that boat a long time." "Nope, just one night, gotta move the plot along." "Really!" "Yeah." "Is she rowing to England overnight or something with her super-strength?" "What? No, that would be silly." "Well, it seems like it'll be crazy difficult for them to get to England all the way across the Mediterranean and up the Spanish coast and some of the French coast in one night." "No, it's super easy, barely an inconvenience." "...I, I'm not... I don't..." "They get a _tow_." "Oh." "Into London." "Oh." "After they fall asleep." "Oh." "See? Problem solved! ....{scribbling}" "...they're towed from Greek waters to England..." "No, what? No, that would be silly." "But." "Did I mention the lesbianism?" "You did!" "Moving along then."

"So the plane explodes." "Yep!" "Exploding planes are tight!" "They are!" "From all the bombs?" "Yeah! What?" "In the plane. It's a bomber right? Like in Captain America?" "Sure!" "So the bombs explode." "Ah, no, I only have poison gas in the plane." "Oh, so the gas is flammable enough to explode." "Sure, why not?" "That seems like it would be really awesome." "It will be!" "Poison gas that explodes when you light it afterward!" "Tight, huh?!" "Yeah, so we show that sometime as a test, right?" "You bet! The town Diana saves gets gassed and everyone she saved dies!" "Wow, super-dark!" "I know, and it serves the purpose of making her angry at Steve so she'll leave him behind for a while to go fight not-Ares." "So she's there after the explosion." "The what?" "Well, that's the plan, right? The Nazis shoot this super-poison gas into the city to test it, and then they detonate it with a regular shell afterward for massive extra damage. Big explosion scene." "Uh." "I know, uh, right?" "Yeah." "Still all those charred bodies will be awfully dark, so don't show them much." "Well, I wasn't planning to." "Good." "I, uh, I just wanted Diana to wander around the town and see some people's bodies we can recognize, so the audience is super-sure this is the same town she saved earlier." "But you can't because of the charred corpses." "I know, uh, so, I was, um, thinking that she'd be just there in the poison cloud, walking around." "Oh." "So we can see the distinctive dress of various people she met." "Yeah, okay, but..." "What?" "I mean, it seems like she'd have some trouble surviving the poison gas and then the Nazis detonating all of it on top of her." "Oh, she can do that super easy, barely an inconvenience." "Wow, really, she's that indestructable, like Superman?" "I don't know." "Then how does she survive the explosion?" "What explosion?" "And the super-deadly poison?" "Magic." "What?" "She's magic, right? It's magic." "Ah!" "See?" "Magic is tight!"
