Damsel in Distress? Not with Wonder Woman!
In the DCEU, it’s always the women who need help, and Lois Lane in both Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the best example. But Wonder Woman has reversed those roles, and she is the one doing the saving.
She saves Steve Trevor, who becomes stranded on Themyscira after his mission doesn't go according to plan. Sure, his enemies follow, but they can't really compete against the Amazons (although we do believe that at least one powerful Amazons dies during the fight).
Diana serves as Steve’s protector more than once during the movie. Will they become romantically involved? It could happen, as it did in the comics. We doubt it, however, given Diana's way of thinking. And from this point of view, the Wonder Woman trailers are amazing, because they manage to squeeze in so much symbolism into just a couple of minutes of footage. Just look at the Amazons' thrones.
What we can be certain of is that this relationship – this clash between mentalities – will create drama (Diana very clearly telling Steve that she'll do what she believes to be best), as well as some good comedy (the secretary/slave scene).
