WONDER WOMAN Is Having An Awesome Effect On The World

In which Patty Jenkins shares a heartwarming letter from a WONDER WOMAN fan.

By Jun. 12, 2017

After its second straight weekend atop the box office (and with over $430M earned worldwide), there can be no doubt Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman is an honest-to-god Mega Hit. Critics embraced Jenkins' vision, audiences have been making return trips to the theater to get their fix, and - at long last - the DCU has a blockbuster on its hands that doesn't feel like it earned any money via morbid curiosity (see also: Suicide Squad's $745M worldwide take).

Added bonus: everywhere you turn on social media, people are sharing stories about how Wonder Woman positively impacted their lives. The one below - apparently written by a kindergarten teacher and sent to one of Wonder Woman's producers - was posted to Twitter last night by Jenkins herself, and it's one of the best, most heartwarming examples of Wonder Woman's influence we've come across. 

Give this a read.

I suppose if you wanted to be a real dick about things, you could roll your eyes at the above (or maybe even question its legitimacy; this is the internet, after all), but why would you want to? Wonder Woman represents a legitimate Cultural Moment, and - with a few small exceptions - it's been a wildly positive one. Not only is this good news for the DC Cinematic Universe, but it's also good news for the world itself, which could really use a dose of positivity right about now. 

Speaking of which - can we get Patty Jenkins locked in for a sequel, please? We're probably gonna need all the positivity we can get over the next few years. While we're waiting on that announcement to get made: has Wonder Woman impacted your life, or the life of anyone you know? How so? How many times have you seen it?
