Mad skills lassoing that cow as it's coming out of the pool, wow!

I can't wait to be disappointed. Hollywood will once again destroy and skew a character's image to appease the public. Talk to me when Harley Quinn gets the lasso of truth, breaks it's bounds and makes Wonder Woman her bitch. Amazonian queen my ass, this will be just another attempt to get 16 year old girls to drag their sex starved hormone men to shell out money to get laid, and it'll work. At least for the women. This is exactly why I bring my own popcorn bucket to the movies, drill a hole in the bottom, and hope she doesn't ask for extra hot butter.

Too bad it makes you look like you're trying to lasso something...

@lawdeelaw, I think if the polygraph is used in criminal investigations (and no one seems to be disputing that it is), then it is important to tell people that it's fake.

Also, fun fact: One of the guys who was instrumental in creating the polygraph also created the character of Wonder Woman (hence her "lasso of truth").

The Return of Coach Lasso has been added as a related post - related requested by eric3579 on that post.

There is a reason why they lasso that sombiatch to a tractor for the final pull.

Thank you, you're very kind

There are many reasons Fett is a great character (and why he Bad-Ass). I'll try to avoid all of the stuff from the books but they reinforce Fett and the characteristics that define him.
1). Disintegrations: In the Dark Horse Comic "Enemy of the Empire" - Baba Fett had been given the order to disintegrate his target giving him a reputation for being relentless.
2). Boba Fett wears braids made of Wookie hair as trophies of Wookies that he has bested.
3). Boba Fett outsmarts Has Solo. When Han comes up with the idea of floating away with the trash, Boba Fett sees through Han's plan and is able to track him and arrive in Bespin before they can even land the Falcon
4). Boba Fett has the balls to negotiate with a Sith Lord and still come out with a good deal - something few people can do. Then later he has the balls again to challenge Vader when he warns "he's no good to me dead"
4). Once Boba Fett has Han captured (frozen), he had to outsmart and fend off two different IG-88 droids in two separate attacks, as well as defend his bounty against the team-up of Bossk, Zuckus and 4-Lom multiple times before he could get Han to Jabba and claim his reward - some of the toughest and most ruthless mercinaries in the bounty hunter's guild. (Also, an aside from the books... Boba Fett was able to outsmart and dissolve the entire Bounty Hunter's Guild.)
5). Boba managed to get two bounty payouts for the same bounty from two of the hardest villains around. He was paid by Vader to provide Han as bait to get Skywalker and he was able to turn him over to Jabba once Vader was finished with him. Successfully!!
6). Shooting at Luke while on the Sail Barge. - It's believed that Boba missed Luke on purpose because he knew Vader wanted him alive. The reason he tried to catch him using the wrist lasso and why he jet-packed to the skiff instead of staying on the barge..
7). Why was Boba Fett hanging around Jabba's Pallace after he delivered Han?
Jabba offered Fett more credits, knowing Skywalker and the other would probably try to rescue him. Jabba was known for keeping multiple bounty Hunters and mercenaries on retainer both through blackmail and by paycheck. Having many different factions close by ensured that even if there was mutiny, there was always another faction standing by to protect him for a cash payment.
. Boba Fett has the best ship in Star Wars galaxy with best weaponry and gadgets. He also has the cash to keep it up to date functioning perfectly - because he is the best at what he does. Slave One is a modified prototype police vehicle (Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft) made by Kuat Systems Engineering, the largest ship builder in the galaxy. (I also like the B-wing fighter, it's pretty cool too.)
9). Boba Fetts custom Mandalorian Armor is just plain cool.
10). Fett had to end up in the Pit of Carkoon/Sarlac Pit". It was the only option story wise. Fett would have pursued Skywalker and the gang if he could have and then where would that leave our heroes - DEAD, that's where.
I shouldn't have to defend him but there you go - Truth be told I also like Bossk and Dengar for their own reasons as well.

I'm sure it would be cleaned up for actual tv but her lasso was bs and you could see the harness cable in several shots.


I'm thinking this was place-holder CGI and a rough cut. Otherwise, that's just shocking work.

Surprised with the pole through the guard's throat at the end though. That definitely doesn't fit in with the whole Marvel/Heroes don't kill thing.

You know, I think you people are posting Wonder Woman stuff these days just to provoke me.

Let's get this straight: The '70s TV show was *terrible. The only reason it lasted as long as it did was because of this:



Now let's discuss what Wonder Woman's superpowers really are (mostly copy/pasted from Wikipedia)

1. Strength - She has lifted the entire island of Themiscyra out of the water, and prevented chunks of the moon from hitting Earth
2. Speed - She has moved as fast as half the speed of light
3. Stamina - She NEVER tires out
4. Flight - She can fly completely unassisted, no jet required (and look damn good while doing it)
5. She is highly resistant to injury - She has even shaken off gun fire. She also heals quickly.
6. She is a master of both armed and unarmed combat. NO ONE is her rival in this department. Even when sparring with other superheroes (while lowering her strength and speed to match theirs, just to be fair), she still kicks all their asses. Even Batman's. She is also a natural leader in combat, and a brilliant tactician and strategist.
7. She's a genius. She's a master of numerous languages, sciences, and philosophies.

She has other powers too, but those are the main ones. Her golden lasso and bracelets are also useful, but not necessary to put the smack down. In the DC universe she is second only to Superman in overall power, and not a distant second either. When Superman's mind was being controlled by a villain, she was the only one who was able to stop the Man of Steel long enough until the situation was brought under control.

So leave my woman alone!

I thank @gwiz665 for bringing this to my attention, because this warrants a Wonder Woman fan's opinion. As a =w= fanboy I will pick this costume apart, in true fanboy fashion. But to be fair, I'll start off with what they got right.

1. The golden lasso is fine. It's golden, and it's a lasso. Hard to mess that one up, really.
2. The bracelets are good, i.e., they're the right size. Not too small, not too long.
3. Wonder Woman is pretty, and they got a pretty woman to play her. So we're good there. (However I wish she had some muscle tone. Wonder Woman definitely has curves, but she also has an athletic physique. Look at my profile page to see what I'm talking about.)

Now, the shit they got wrong:

1. What's with all the shiny? The blue pants and boots are too shiny, the red top is WAY too shiny. Makes it look like a chintzy costume from Girls's Costume Warehouse.
2. The breastplate, tiara, and belt are supposed to be made from metal. They are supposed to be at least a little shiny. But no, they use cheap plastic shit with all the luster that cheap plastic shit can muster. (Ooh, I made a rhyme.)
3. If they're going to put her in those pants, the least they can do is make them dark blue - VERY dark blue. Close to black. Same goes for the boots.
4. You only need a red star on the tiara, not on the breastplate and the belt too.
5. Also if you're going to go with the pants, don't put put tacky gold stars down the side.
6. Super shiny red lipstick too? Jesus.

To be fair again, I read somewhere that this getup might just be a mockup. Still, it's atrocious. It makes her look like a hooker at a cosplay convention. And you can tell they tried to combine her old look with her new look, which of course will satisfy NO ONE.

They're just shooting a pilot episode for now, and maybe NBC will pick it up. If they do it should air this fall. I have no confidence in this show, really. Besides the awful costume the show is being produced by David E. Kelley, the guy who mostly makes lawyer shows, but other crap as well. I hate lawyer shows, and his shows epitomize everything I hate about them. Yes, even Ally McBeal. It's supposed to be a serious, non-campy show (unlike the original =w= series from the '70s), but it might just turn out campy anyway. If it tanks (and it will), it might kill a possible =w= movie that has been in development hell for years. They're talking about a =w= film in 2013, but we'll see.
