Wonder Woman 1984, but it s actually not a mistake at all.
During the montage in which a resurrected Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) is marveling over the advancements of the future, he and Diana (Gal Gadot) pass a group of 80s-era punks in a D.C. subway station.

For comic book fans an eternal question exists: Why can Marvel get 99% of its films right and DC bats 50% at best when it comes to these blockbusters?
“Wonder Woman 1984” can’t necessarily be considered a bad film, but its bloat – from an opening on Diana Prince/Wonder Woman’s island nation that details a competition she participated as a girl to an expanded flight among fireworks – does it no favors.
It’s in those moments the mind wanders and any interest in the story or character, one of DC’s best and a role model for all, but women especially, becomes lost. In a movie theater, that’s of little concern, because after shelling out cash for a flick, few people bother to get up and leave in protest. It’s been done, but it’s rare.
