“All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood’s been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided. She’s an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards. Sarah Connor was not a beauty icon. She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit. And to me, [the benefit of characters like Sarah] is so obvious. I mean, half the audience is female!”So the only way to be a strong femme is to be as grotesque as the creature cast of Aliens, and a bad mom? Absolutely ludicrous. Besides, he forgets that Linda Hamilton was actually quite an attractive woman when she was active as an actress at the time they made the Terminator movies. Guess he forgot it since.
Patty Jenkins, the WW movie director, reacted to his idiocy, though to be honest, I find the angle she used for Monster from 2003, which Cameron upheld, far too liberal-laden, and not a great example of a film to uphold, though it does suggest why, according to the politics he goes by, he'd support such a movie.
In the end, Cameron's only made himself look like just another silly filmmaker who can't appreciate fantasy for what it is.
James Cameron was named a director of the film, although he only had less than 10 films Vietnam hair
