Ok seriously, i was as well perplexed at Gal being cast as WW.
She is absolutely very good looking, no doubt, but before WW she had a part in F&F and thats it. Now it's not impossible for hollywood to bust out a miracle-child, someone who is so uber-talented that they are immediately put in a star role, regardless of their experience.
Me, i would have imagined that casting would have gone with someone less sexy, more mom. Think about it, the vast majority of Wonder Woman fans dont come from comic books, but from the TV show; lynda carter. Wholesome mom-style heroine who parries bullets and makes you tell the truth. NOT a dominating (or possibly even anti-patriarchal) figure.
And instead they went with an action hero, terribly similar to Rey in SW.
As for the "jewishness" comment .. it could be?
Unless HE'S LYING, he says insiders have specifically told him so. We *do* live in a time where over-representation of minorities is a thing (not a BAD thing, but imho a bit of a silly thing), so here my attitude is going to be "uh .. maybe yes?".
Dont get me wrong, there's plenty of evidence AGAINST what he says. Gal Gadot was frikkin Miss Israel, obviously some producer saw her on TV and thought "we gotta get that piece of ass on tee-vee, pronto", so the man could easily be wrong with that "chosen because jewishness" thing. But It's not like he busted out swastikas and photos of hitler, come on.
Regarding his thing where he accuses perk of snorting ... whatsitcalled .. perc ? Drugs. Meh, i think he was just being offended. I wouldnt ban someone for that, but that's just me. It' hyperbole, thats what it is.
