Wonder Woman 2011 Pilot

Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights) brought the Amazon Princess to life in David E. Kelly's new Wonder Woman pilot.
The story and the outfit caused some controversy among internet comic book fans, to the point of the costume being changed (even thoough the producers denied the idea that outrage caused the change)
If you can find the pilot online....well you can watch it if you are really curious.
I wouldnt advise it though.
Adrianne is a great Wonder Woman.
I mean she really looks the part.
Given a better story, this might have really been something and been a forerunner of "Supergirl".
As it is, this Diana basically killed everyone that ran afoul of her, which seems to be popular with comic fans these days.
But it wasn't "Wonder Woman".

Since this, Adrianne went on to play Barbara "Bobbi" Morse (Mockingbird) on the ABC series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and that character too almost got a series.
Also, one of the Wonder Woman costumes in the pilot wound up worn on Harry's Law by Erica Durance (Smallville's Lois Lane).
She was playing a delusional client who believed she was the real Wonder Woman.
That episode was better than the pilot.

Adrianne Palicki = Wonder Woman?

Well the new Wonder Woman for David E. Kelley's remake (reboot?) of Wonder Woman has been announced and I am less than over-whelmed.
Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights) will be donning the satin tights and fighting for our rights as the Amazon Princess.
Well....I was hoping for someone that looked like Wonder Woman.
You know Tom Welling does look like Kal-El, even in the first episode before he got all bulked up he could have passed for Superboy at least.
I don't see WW when I look at Palicki.
At all.
Okay, maybe I'm just kinda upset that Sarah Lancaster (Chuck) didn't get it.

I liked the idea of her taking over the Lynda Carter mantle.
And we all know this Wonder Woman is gonna be judged by her standard just like Brandon Routh was judged by Christopher Reeve.
I thought Sarah looked more like LC and I could see her being war-like one minute and compassionate the next.
Oh well.
Anyway, like everything thing else I will give Mr. Kelly and Ms. Palicki the benefit of the doubt and wait until I actually see the show.
And maybe Adrianne can dye her hair jet black and hit the gym (hard) before shooting starts.
