Wonder Woman
Here are some reasons why we think it's groovy...Anna will do hers in bold print.
1. The theme song is sung with passion and conviction, has a key change, and includes the lyrics, "in her satin tights, fighting for her rights." Very awesome.
2. She is so cool and beautiful, wondrous, strong, awesome, and kind.
3. She says this, "On Paradise Island, there are only women. Because of this pure environment, we are able to develop our minds and our physical skills, unhampered by masculine destructiveness." There's something about saying this while dressed in a flashy bathing suit and high heeled knee-high boots that makes me giggle.
4. She is disguised as Diana, and she stops bullets with her magic wrist bands.
5. The spin. We love the spin. As a teenager, I could do a fine impression of the spin.
6. She has an invisible plane. It is not even computer animated. Nope, definitely not too high tech. We tried to rope Justin into watching with us when we began this adventure weeks ago. As I remember, we lost him for good at the invisible plane. He is of the Lord of the Rings/ Avatar generation and demands high quality special effects. This didn't pass the test.
He walked away in utter disdain complete with raised eyebrows and a significant eye roll. His loss.

7. The pace. There's a scene early on where Wonder Woman and the evil Baroness are rolling down a hill in the middle of a fight. And they just roll and roll and roll. For a very long time. Anna laughed and laughed. Things are too fast paced nowadays.
8. Wonder Woman is invariably kind, always trying to convince the villains (or the gorilla in episode four) to change their ways.
P.S. Basketball report--back to normal score-wise this Saturday. Oh well.
