Wonder Woman Lynda Carter not happy with James Cameron
That whole James Cameron vs Wonder Woman debate has picked up again – and this time, the original Diana Prince has had her say.
The famed director has not exactly held back in his opinions of Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman (the most successful superhero origin movie ever), calling it a "step backwards".
Arguing that the film celebrated "an objectified icon", Cameron continued to stick to his guns this week, insisting that Gal Gadot's incarnation is "not breaking ground".
Now, original Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter has brandished her lasso of truth and advised "poor soul" James Cameron to just stop talking. Please.
In a post on Facebook, Lynda addressed Cameron directly, telling him that he does not "understand the character".
"To James Cameron -STOP dissing WW: You poor soul," she wrote. "Perhaps you do not understand the character. I most certainly do. Like all women--we are more than the sum of our parts.
"Your thuggish jabs at a brilliant director, Patty Jenkins, are ill advised. This movie was spot on. Gal Gadot was great."
Calling on her inner-Amazonian, she added: "I have embodied this character for more than 40 years. So--STOP IT."

In news that will delight Wonder Woman fans, but probably not James Cameron, Patty Jenkins recently signed a record-breaking deal to co-write, produce and direct its sequel.
She is expected to make between $7 and $9 million to head Diana's next adventure, making her the highest-paid female director of all time.
Wonder Woman 2 will storm into cinemas on December 13, 2019.
