I am grateful for Wonder Woman. I am glad of it's popularity, it's craft, it's warmth, humor, and depth. I am overjoyed that it makes it's female protagonist learn to embrace mankind's uneasy duality, that the toxic masculinity and constant striving to prove oneself better on an imaginary yardstick to be worthy of respect are shown to be exactly as ridiculous as they are, without humiliating the man being shown to use this yardstick. I am glad that children will have a girl hero to be like. I am glad that there were multiple persons of color, even if they did not interact like I had hoped for.

It is not a perfect movie, but it is GOOD in a way so few things are. And I am grateful for it.
