Wonder Woman (Blu-ray SteelBook) [Italy]
- Thread starter bradipolpo
- Start date
Still the most elegant and unusual of the WW steelbooks reflecting her aristocratic pedigree (lol) with this classic portrait pose:-
To me this looks more like fifty shades of wonder woman
"Can one desire too much of a good thing?" (Shakespeare "As You Like It")
I say "No!"
Good thing? maybe not so much as on first viewing
. . . and getting down to the nitty-gritty:
- Yes, prefer the artwork to the others as it's so different when compared
BUT
- Clearly the wrong finish here . . . absolutely without a shadow of a doubt should have been full gloss to make the bronzeware and lips "snap. crackle and pop"
- Cheap-looking WW symbol . . . should have been de-bossed and a more appropriate "amazonium" / bronze shade to match the WW band on her upper arm and not that tacky gold colour.
- Cheap-looking clashing white print title out of place amid the elegance of the artwork . . . should have been rose red to pick up on the colour of the lips.
Inside w/ disc + more of front and back close-up showing the inadequate finish:-

So this and Aus are the exact same finish?"Can one desire too much of a good thing?" (Shakespeare "As You Like It")
I say "No!"

I think those are pictures from the Australian version.Where did you but it? It's not available yet
Amazon IT still says Oct. 12.
Italy or Australia should make no diff.
Surely it's more likely than not to be the same finish.
If, however, he Italian is glossed . . . and if this steelbook comes to the UK it will be an instant pre-order to replace my cancelled HMV.
There are two listings for a WONDER WOMAN steelbook for the UK with the HMV as one and the other blank . . . so, fingers crossed.
Someone needs to gloss this and place the glossed one side-by-side with this one . . . the difference will be so glaringly obvious that the numpty who approved the finish should commit hara-kiri or at the very least hang his/her head in shame on the way out with their P45 or equivalent.

It’s probably the same yes, although the hope is a different finish
(Like lots of US / EU releases)
Yes, I see where you're coming from . . . but . . . I think you'll agree that there's no shortage of Wonder Woman's face on WONDER WOMAN steelbooks, on posters and probably on tea-towels and mugs . . . and maybe printed on individual loo roll sheets (just joking).
For WW steelbooks . . . from Illustrated Art to airbrushed Power Pose, from profile almost silhouette-style to a quasi *Joan of Arc religious kneeling image . . .
. . . and as can be seen here the Aus. / It. steelbook could be called the odd one out when compared to the others but it remains my favourite image with its elegant. sly coquettish charm . . . although others may single out the Illustrated Art steel - and with good reason - as being the real odd one out:-

That would be the only version of 50 Shades that I watchI'd watch that!
This is how disconnected Hollywood is. Those who make the movies and the actual studio departments for releasing the products. ALL OF THOSE don't show her face completely .... crazy. @digitalbabe guess they only really approved the amaray art or this is all the leftover stuff from creative brief. *shrug* either way its easy to make this comparison.Yes, I see where you're coming from . . . but . . .

Personally speaking I kind of like all of the WW images - from the power pose to the silhouette head, from the kneeling in prayer to the half face.
Perfect I feel for steelbook art - preserving the sense of mystery and wonder that is Wonder Woman (lol)
I think the closest they've come to WW's face not obstructed is this one which I seem to remember was going to be / still is TBC artwork for an as yet to be announced steelbook:-
As for the traditional Wonder Woman Power Pose I immediately think of these hands-on-hips-I'm-in charge stance:-
. . . although the more modern I-mean-business-don't-mess-with-me Power Pose is quite different:-
