Gods and Monsters Chronicles - Big


Wonder Woman, Bekka of the new gods, has to rescue her friend Steve Trevor from the terrorist group Kobra.

The Good

This episode is un-like the others that came before it, in a good-way. I light-hearted and dear I say it – fun. The previous two animations very good, but very – very dark, which is fine. But this episode is just a funny action packed story. It may not have as much substance as the other ones but it’s a nice break from the others.

Wonder Woman’s powers and abilities are really cool, actually most of the action in this is really well done. The way they blend her new god powers into the classic fighting she is doing is really cool.

The character dynamic between Steve and Bekka, was my only unsure point but I ultimately put it up here because it did make me smile a few times though sometimes it came off as dry.

The Bad

Wonder Woman’s costume was too revealing, just like the Harley Quinn’s costume in the Batman episode.

(Also – Kobra really?)

The Ugly (The Verdict)

Like I have said, this was fun, fun episode. The character was funny and her dialogue with Steve did make me laugh as well as the action be very well done. But honestly it was just this and lacked substance. I know it’s a short but in the Superman short it gave us a great look at the world showing us all the other characters as well as the conclusion showing us a very different take on the man of steel. This like the Batman episode was good but lacking the depth to make it great.
