Overall, the movie overdid slow motion and lacked story, but fun enough to watch. 10:58PM PT

Finished the movie today. It's interesting how I thought Superman was likely the most powerful superhero in DC, but it seems that Wonder Woman would be able to outmatch him. [Some reading indicates taht Superman is physically stronger, but Wonder Woman has some advantages that make it plausible for her to win.]
Instant Comments:
1: Young Diana.
2a: Their conversation reminds me that Diana is the weapon
1: All that slow motion.
1: LOL. His watch.
2a: Hehe. Awkwardness with sleeping next to each other on the boat.
2a: Smile. Slavery
2a: Smile Sword and shield. But where were those before?
2a: How rude. She identified the languages and that brings no intrigue. Simply a "see her out."
1: I don't like her accent.
2a: "I'm both frightened and aroused."
2a: Huh. Is she bullet proof or not? I think not because earlier in the film she had a wound (which healed quickly?). In any case, here she's using a shield. Perhaps even if she was bullet proof the shield is useful? Supposing she's not bullet proof, would the shield be sufficient? Why don't soldiers just use shields like Diana's to cross the front? [The Wonder Woman in the DCEU is bullet proof.][A related question is why she blocks bullets with her bracers. One of the main reasons is she is able to deflect bullets more directionally with her bracers. An interesting aside is that in some cases, the bracers seem to have the function of limiting her powers or absorbing energy.]
2a: Paused after Diana takes down the sniper with their help. 1 hour remaining
2b: Smile. She stands next to the woman and eyes the fit.
1: That wouldn't really make sense for her to steal the woman's clothing. [20231203: Oh, I'm not sure why I had this comment during the first viewing, but this time around it made sense to me that she had to steal the clothing. She, herself, did not have appropriate attire for the ball]
2b: Huh. Does this Poison woman not recognize him? I feel it's risky for him to approach her.
2b: Oh. She does have an inkling: "Have we met?"
2b: Hehe. He got distracted.
2b: Lol. Sword in back of dress.
2b: Doesn't sound like a quote. [Apparently the quote might be misattributed: https://intellectualtakeout.org/2017/09/the-thucydides-quote-in-wonder-woman-is-it-legit/]
2b: "What if there is no Ares?" Hmm. I can't remember if there's a plot twist. Earlier on in the movie, I suspected the person who funded the mission (David Thewlis)
2b: Huh. He is not afraid to tell her. "My dear child. That is not the godkiller. You are."
2b: Hehe. She realizes she can fly by imitating Ares?
2b: Ooo. That's badass. Carving the holes through the helmet with his fingers.
2b: After her win, I had the following thought. Earlier he said, "Only a god can kill another god." If it is really true, and she is the last god... then wouldn't she be immortal? Seems OP. [Most answers to this point out that immortal is not invincible. She could still be wounded, she just wouldn't die and would recover eventually. As for being the last god, it is or is likely that there are other entities that are equivalent to gods. Assuming she killed Ares, then she would simply be the remaining among a particular lineage of gods (the Greek gods which would be the family tree that includes Zeus). [She is actually a demigod: daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta; Ares says this to her (in contrast to Hippolyta's story that she was born of clay - which is apparently her origin story in Pre-52)]]
