Criticism is never effective when it's followed immediately with "But you know who did it better? ME!!" Back to Pandora, Mr. Cameron! https://t.co/E3lZsPBX94

Sarah Connor is a fan-favorite heroine in Hollywood, but her success doesn't have to negate anything that Wonder Woman accomplishes. After all, the only thing better than one reverred female lead is having two of them.

When it comes to objectification and female representation, conversation should be something that's welcomed. However, it is rather difficult to swallow critics who crassly talk about 'strong females' without much evidence to back them up.

James Cameron says #WonderWoman objectified its star and was "a step backwards" from Sarah Connor.

Sex and feminism shouldn't exist in competition with one another, but the former does have a tendency to objectify rather than empower. You can decide for yourself how Cameron's film use sex for the most part.

No James Cameron. Just No.
This is EXTREMELY disappointing to hear from 1 of my fav filmmakers.
Equally as disappointing as AVATAR. https://t.co/SuRQKV93Is

The success of Avatar is hard to overlook; The film managed to become the world's highest-grossing film and rocketed filmmaking technology into a new era. However, the same can be said for Wonder Woman; The film is now the highest-grossing superhero origin film to-date, and it stands at the DCEU's most successful film. Both features have their merits, so why can't we all just get along?

Is this the same James Cameron who routinely polled his all-male crew to ensure a lady alien was fuckable, or is that a different dickhead? https://t.co/9AXfkVacD0

Yeah, there's no a great excuse for this one. Wonder Woman has a distinct lack of aliens looking to hook up with anyone.
