A belated appreciation for Diana Prince




There's a tweet I came across a few weeks ago, back when Wonder Woman just started gaining traction. It is super funny, yet also very true and powerful at the same time:


And it is so accurate. Ever since I saw this film on IMAX, I felt like a warrior was ready to rip herself out of my chest. I was so pumped, so amazed, so awed. It was the story of one woman - a strong, ideal, almost-perfect goddess - and yet, in so many ways, it was also incredibly human.

Unfortunately, this isn't going to be a proper review of the movie. (Although it's definitely a 12/10 for me.) But I'd like to take the time to write about something that is so incredibly rare for me these days: to find something so inspiring. Seeing Wonder Woman embrace this whole idea of being brave amidst it all for the common good - it's uplifting. And truth is, I really needed that.

And these days, don't we all?

(Yeah, sometimes, I spend my short breaks reading superhero comics. When the weight of it all becomes too heavy to bear, I like jumping into a world where the lines between good and bad are clearly drawn. Where we know who the good guys and the bad guys are. I guess it's my way of coping with all this grief and sadness and anger; some sort of coping mechanism.)
