Wonder Woman : Lynda Carter vs Gal Gadot

Lynda Carter is still, hands down, the hottest Wonder Woman. Gal Gadot can't even compare to her. They should've got someone better than Gal Gadot. Next to Lynda Carter, she's a plain Jane.

Amen! Kind of like Sean Connery vs Roger Moore as James Bond, a poor imitation of a classic.

THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BE PURE CRAP AND THEY'RE GONNA TURN MY CHILDHOOD HERO INTO NOTHING BUT A DAMN PAIR OF LEGS!!!

And there isn't only one Trump voter. Does that make them right?

what was so bad about gal gadot as wonder woman in batman vs. superman? also, sadly they do this all the time now ruin cherished movie memories with cheap, stupid, and pointless remakes or sequels that always tarnish our memories of these classic films. like ghostbusters, wtf? that is blasphemous.

I totally agree Just saw Lynda In Season 1 of WW. She was absolute perfection as Wonder Woman..

I'd say the tag line from Highlander (1986) applies here:
There can be only one.

Having lived during that time, she was the best thing to come out of the 70's! (Disco, gas prices, that other Carter, ugly bumpers on cars, etc.)

Right. Gal Godot does *not* look like Wonder Woman. If anything she looks like Electra. The so-called costume makes it worse as she looks like a Zena wanna be.

Lynda Carter nailed it: she was and is the standard for Wonder Woman.

Amen to all of you. Lynda was and will always be the ONLY Wonder Woman.

You forgot the other best things to come out of the 1970s: The Bionic Woman, Little House on the Prairie, and countless classic movies.

I already hate Gal Gadot in the role. She's getting her own Wonder Woman movie and is going to be in Justice League too. I've been saying all along that she was the wrong choice. Sadly, now it looks like we're stuck with her. Every time I watch the original Wonder Woman on TV now, I say to myself, "Now that's Wonder Woman." As far as I'm concerned, Lynda Carter is not just the original. She's the one and only Wonder Woman. I remember how it really took some getting used to when they got Henry Cavill to play Superman. I feel the same way about Christopher Reeve in his role as I do about Lynda Carter in her role. Christopher Reeve is the best Superman and always will be the one true Superman. Christopher Reeve looks like Superman right out of the comics and is better looking than any actor to play Superman, including Cavill. When Man of Steel came out, I was curious and I asked women who they thought was better looking; Christopher Reeve or Cavill. Some women actually said Cavill. But everyone agreed that when you looked at Christopher Reeve, that was Superman. But anyone that has the unmitigated gall to say Gal Gadot, Miss Plain Jane with no body, is more attractive than Lynda Carter, is crazy. For anyone to say she looks like Wonder Woman is crazy. For anyone to think she is just as attractive as Lynda Carter is crazy. Gal Gadot is not Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter is and always will be Wonder Woman. Nobody can top her, but they could've at least tried. They got such a poor choice. I just watched the trailer and I was wondering how any of the original fans are possibly going to buy it if they decide to see the new Wonder Woman.

You guys are hilarious. The "perfect" Wonder Woman. Face it, the series was fun for its time but far from perfect. It was kitschy and very campy, although not high camp like the Batman series a decade earlier. You might as well be saying Adam West was the definitive Batman or George Reeves the definitive Superman. Growing up on the old shows, I was skeptical of Chris Reeve and especially Michael Keaton, but I gave them a chance and they won me over. Later, I didn't think Christian Bale could revive the role after the disasters of Kilmer and Clooney, but he also surprised me. On the flip side, I don't like Routh's or Cavill's Superman or Affleck's Batman, but not because they're not the heroes I grew up with, just because I don't think their characters or stories are well done. None of you are even willing to admit that your love for the show is based almost completely on nostalgia, not on any objective measure of quality.

Let's be honest - compared to Lynda Carter in her 1970s prime, almost every woman alive is a plain Jane.

Agreed, and it extends beyond the 70's IMO. I got a laugh out of the premise in Posing: Inspired by Three Real Stories (1991) where Lynda was an "ordinary" housewife and mother/bowling alley owner. Yeah, right, just like a Ferrari is an "ordinary" coupe. I'm presuming due to the movie coming out, her photo page on IMDB has exploded- there are 128 of them as of right now, and a bunch of HQ pictures from her WW days.

I didn't see many episodes of Hawkeye (1994), which was 20 years after WW, but as I recall she was still very beautiful as a "plain" frontier type woman. There are not too many pictures from that show here, but I found one online:

IMO, it's not unique to Lynda. I watched Becker (1998) in the 90's. IMO Nancy Travis looks better almost 20 years later in Last Man Standing (2011) (at least until she chopped off most of her hair) than she did back in the 90's.

As to the topic and a sub-discussion, I think the casting folks could have done a better job as I've heard there are always a lot of actresses looking for work. The more I see of Galdot the less I see her as WW, but that is the way of the world. Plenty of younger folks seem to like her as the character, and they are the target audience, not me.

Having seen both, I liked Cavill as Superman. I really liked parts of Man of Steel (2013) such as when he took down the drone, the scene with "This man is not our enemy", and the part when his dad was killed (I didn't like that his dad was killed, I thought it was a good performance). I do not plan on seeing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) since I find the premise stupid.

yeah and that proves how amazingly beautiful Lynda carter was, that's the point!!! so, you are saying that gal deserves a break on her beauty? well, that's ok I guess but at least get a woman significantly more beautiful than her for wonder woman.

so, you are saying that gal deserves a break on her beauty?

IMO, it's apples to oranges, and the attraction seems to be generational. Older folks that saw the show seem to favor Lynda, while younger ones seem to like Galdot. As I mentioned, I'm not a target audience for movies, so my opinion counts for little with movie makers.

I read your description of Lynda in another post, and you're spot-on. IMO she's even more beautiful in the 70's version of the series (as opposed to the 40's version).

Ignoring politics doesn't mean politics will ignore you.
-Pericles paraphrased in <100 characters

you're wrong. it's not apples to oranges comparison and younger ones don't favor gal gadot. it's not a generational comparison or difference of opinion. it's a fact that Lynda carter as wonder woman was at least a star better in terms of beauty and allure and cuteness, and adorableness, and prettiness, and sexiness. what do you mean in the '40s version? she wasn't in the '40s version of wonder woman.

I'm not going to argue with you or tell you you're wrong regarding an opinion, as we each have our own. What I posted was based upon what I've read and people I've talked to in real life from both eras.

When I said 70's version, I meant seasons 2 and 3 of Wonder Woman. The shortened first season was set in the 40's, while seasons 2 and 3 were set in the 70's.

you're wrong about it being an opinion that gal gadot is more beautiful or just as beautiful as Lynda carter as wonder woman. it's not just an opinion that Lynda is more beautiful than gal as wonder woman. it is a fact.

perception of beauty is not always an opinion, it's not always in the "eye of the beholder." if you look at Lynda carter as wonder woman and gal gadot as wonder woman you will see and know and come to the conclusion that Lynda carter was a more beautiful woman than gal gadot as wonder woman. if beauty was always an opinion then any homely woman would be just as beautiful as a really beautiful woman.

also keep in mind that I talked to my mom about gal not being as beautiful as Lynda as wonder woman and she agreed that back in the '70s actresses were more beautiful than actresses of nowadays. she said nowadays actresses aren't as beautiful as they were back in the '50s and '60s or before then.

You may want to take the time to read the very first reply in this thread and see what I think about the subject. We agree as to who is more beautiful and made the best WW, but then you have to repeatedly insult me by telling me I'm wrong by mentioning the opinions of others for which I have personal knowledge.

You're right! You're so "right" (a/k/a close-minded) you can go find someone else to argue with, there are plenty on the Internet willing to do so. You made my ignore list.

fuc# you.

not true at all that all they are basing their opinion on is about nostalgia. no, Lynda carter was the full embodiment of wonder woman because she was unparalleled beautiful and so glamorous, and so elegant.

also she acted so well as wonder woman. she was so skillful, resourceful, elegant acting, graceful, perfectly handled dangerous situations, was lovable with her charming, bubbly, effervescent, and noble personality and actions and all around she acted as wonder woman. so all of this proves that she is the ultimate, best, and only wonder woman.

Gal Godot is a truly beautiful woman but no one compares to Lynda in 1978.

yeah, even porn stars, it's hard to find one who is more or as beautiful as Lynda on wonder woman. and that is impressive and amazing.

This. Gadot is breath-takingly beautiful - and looks great in the costume IMO - but I grew up watching Carter's Wonder Woman (she helped make my formative years extremely enjoyable) and she was/is a real goddess!





"A big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff" The Tenth Doctor explains all.

exactly Lynda is the real goddess in this competition. it's so amazing how as magically and stunningly and exotically and inhumanly rarely and other worldly beautiful and alluring that gal gadot is as wonder woman, she's not as beautiful as Lynda as wonder woman. Lynda is a star above gal when it comes to beauty, cuteness, adorableness, prettiness, alluringness, and over all attractiveness and also sexiness.

in a scene in batman v.s superman gal has kind of a common, movie actress average look to her face. so, that means that she is not a ground breaking or never seen before beauty, she isn't that beautiful. whereas Lynda as wonder woman was always ground breaking and never seen before beautiful and she was also always heart stoppingly and overwhelmingly beautiful and also she was so exquisitely beautiful and so painfully beautiful and painfully adorable.

I'm willing to give Gal a chance, providing the script is good and Wonder Woman (the movie) doesn't turn into Catwoman (the movie).

Nobody can compare with Lynda Carter, definitely one of the all-time perfect casting choices.

Looks wise, I think Lynda is much more attractive. Gadot has that anorexic look that I never liked. I'll wait until the WW movie comes out next year before I judge whose performance is better.

isnt' that interesting? why on earth did they cast an anorexic girl as wonder woman? I mean wonder woman is supposed to be incredibly strong and muscular. not scrawny, anorexic and model like. what in the world were they thinking?

you know what as unimaginably hard for me to believe this you are right. man it's so hard to make gal gadot look plain jane but somehow Lynda carter does. I mean gal gadot is without a doubt one of the most beautiful women who has ever lived, so exotically beautiful but compared to lynda carter she is a plain jane which is the ultimate testament to how beautiful that Lynda carter was as wonder woman. oh my gosh, she was a ten on her show. unbelievably gorgeous and pretty. I can't imagine a woman looking a lot more beautiful than her and that is impossible.

Undoubtedly.





"A big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff" The Tenth Doctor explains all.

I'm glad you agree with me. so, in all your life have you ever seen a woman who is a lot more beautiful than Lynda on the new adventures of wonder woman?

I honestly don't think so.





"A big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff" The Tenth Doctor explains all.

awesome. I'm constantly in awe and awe inspired and totally overwhelmed by her unique and amazing beauty while watching her on the new adventures of wonder woman on Saturday nights on me tv at 8:00. she's more painfully beautiful than almost any woman that I've ever seen. and she's so gosh darn cute, and adorable and innocent looking and acting. and she is so enamoring to me.

her beauty is one in a million and it really shines and she is so gorgeous and her beauty is so glamorous. there are so many beautiful women who have lived who have a similar beauty as her but most of them don't have the degree or quality of alluring beauty or natural beauty or unique natural beauty that she had on this show or exotic beauty that she had on this show.

we don't always have 10s in the entertainment industry anymore and that is really sad. back in the '70s and '80s and every decade before these decades women always had to be 10s in order to be an actor. but starting in the '90s women didn't have to be a 10 to be an actor women like chloe Sevigne or Juliette lewis or Jennifer garner and that is a shame and is so wrong.

I agree, it goes further than just her looks. She has a wonderfully friendly and accessible screen persona; you hear reports of LC's 'difficult' behaviour on-set; maybe it's true, maybe it isn't, but she projected a wonderful warmth that drew you to her as a person as well as an incredibly hot woman!





"A big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff" The Tenth Doctor explains all.

she doesn't look real on this show. when you watch her it's surreal because you can never believe that a woman this beautiful actually existed. I swear, I mean this is how I feel about her beauty on this show. I just thought of that just now but this is so true. you can't ever imagine that a woman this beautiful and perfect looking ever existed.

she has perfect skin, long, flowing, wavy black hair, crystal clear, inhumanly beautiful and mesmerizingly captivating light as a clear day, bright blue sky blue eyes, and exquisitely beautiful and innocently charming lips that have a very uniquely beautiful and fairy tale shape to them, and also a really big beautiful face. stunningly beautiful eyes that are so pure and innocent looking. and also the combination of beautiful and adorable looking eyes is so charming and captivating and attractive and sexually arousing. also her innocent eyes make her extremely attractive and sexually arousing.

and then you add her looks with her utterly unreal charming, effervescent, scintillating, buoyant, spunky, resourceful, intelligent, fun loving, and classy personality and you're left with the most perfect woman who has ever lived. don't you agree with all this? about her being the most perfect woman who has ever lived?

so are you saying that she projected a wonderful warmth that drew you to her as an incredibly hot woman?

her lovable and effervescent charm and grace cannot ever be overestimated. also it's her good will and humbleness and prudent and moral and lawful and ethical ideals and behavior were also some of the things which made her character so lovable and lovely.

just watching her last Saturday on ME tv and oh my gosh I was stunned in my tracks in a way that I haven't been stunned in a while by a woman's beauty when I noticed how transcendently beautiful she was on this show.

I was taken aback big time and felt so much pain because she had this beauty in that moment that really stood out and her look that she gave then was so beautiful. to this day I've never seen a more beautiful woman on a tv show than her. she also had this gosh darn adorable look which was partly due to her child like, youthful, and teenage looking face. it's in her eyes, and in her lips, and in the shape of her face, and it's in the softness of her face and in the skin on her face.

oh, if you see her in that picture in the end credits you'll see one of the most beautiful pictures that I can ever remember seeing of her. in that picture she looks glamorously, inhumanly, ethereally, and alluringly beautiful to the point where it's unreal.
