Wonder woman 1984 Trailer Is incredibly Awe Inspiring

So the sequel of the DCEU messiah has to definitely up the ante, raise the stakes and provide a lot more wonder than the original. and it’s safe to say that the wonder woman 1984 trailer does just that.

Keep in mind, despite being an ‘official trailer’, this one features more as the ‘teaser trailer’ concept that we’re all used to now. In the sense that the wonder woman 1984 trailer doesn’t offer any revealing bits into its story, the character’s origins or any idea of the plot at all. It’s just scenes and dialogue from the movie, set to the incredible new Order’s Blue Monday, and it’s brilliant.

This is really what a trailer should be for; raising excitement levels, introducing us to the main players, with story beats that make us curious and humor that makes us smile and action that drops our jaws. and the wonder woman 1984 trailer has it all.

The Nostalgia Of The wonder woman 1984 Trailer

Obviously set in the ’80s, wonder woman 1984 has the era on full display with the hair, shoulder pads, and fanny packs. The music, along with the images truly catapult us into the ’80s, much like the Netflix original, stranger Things. With one key distinction.

Unlike stranger Things, wonder woman 1984 doesn’t rely on the nostalgia of the ’80s to sell itself. It provides an incredible look at the world of that time, without playing it for memories or throwing tribute to it. It uses the era as its setting with a straight face, without treating it as a novelty or throwback.

Gal Gadot with big hair, Chris pine rocking that fanny pack and Pedro Pascal’s smarmy 80’s stockbroker look do service to the setting, instead of feeling like props that stand out in it. It’s retro, but not for the sake of being retro, but more for being a straight-up period piece.

Breaking Down The wonder woman 1984 Trailer

As mentioned before, there’s not a lot of spoilers or reveals from the trailer for wonder woman 1984. Steve Trevor is mysteriously back after having sacrificed himself in 2017’s wonder Woman. Diana and Steve have, what looks like an emotional reunion, but the details as to how or why he’s back is still a mystery.

Pedro Pascal is the comic book villain Max Lord, but even his motivations are unknown to us from the trailer alone. We do get the humor of Steve Trevor being all of a sudden in the ’80s while being a guy from the ’30s. There are also, what looks like either flashback to Diana’s time in Themyscira, or maybe new sequences on the Amazon island that wonder woman left behind to save humanity. We also get very little of Kristen Wiig, who is supposed to be wonder Woman’s arch-nemesis, Cheetah.

The wonder woman 1984 creates anticipation, excitement and brings utter joy back into the lives of audiences with its visually stunning sequences.

Wonder woman 1984 releases on June 5, 2020.
