-
TheJustice Leaguemovie will return the amazon to the spot of DC ’s flick universe - and from the trailers , it may think the ancient airstream , or their home , will be wiped off the planet . That ’s based on our speculation from what ’s being shown in the new promos , telly spot , and other merchandising ahead of the movie ’s release . Which means fans can keep on hoping thatWonder Woman ’s role inJustice Leaguewill be as plentiful and expansive as her home of Themyscira . But that may intend ignoring some key dead reckoning from the picture show showing a trulybadday for Paradise Island .
It ’s already been revealed that Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright will be reprising theirWonder Womanroles , appearing to lead the Amazons against Steppenwolf’sfirstattempted invasion of Earth in the planet ’s distant history . In fact , a recent promo generate our first feeling atyoung Antiope in battle against Apokolips . The other trailers have teased a more devastating , perhaps even lethal attack on Themyscira in the modern day , and concord to a few new shots … Justice Leaguemay reveal the last day of the Amazons .
The version made famous inWonder Woman , at least . appropriate us to excuse .
Steppenwolf Strikes The Amazons First?
After pass months keep the villain ofJustice Leagueunder wrap - support it wasSteppenwolf , Darkseid ’s uncle and general , but refusing to show his design - the reveal was unexpected . Fans had imagined getting to see the ominous moment that Steppenwolf first arrived on planet Earth , but did n’t ask to see him make landfall in the warmheartedness of Themyscira , surrounded by Amazons . As Hippolyta and a small army of Amazon warriors watch with stunned face , Steppenwolf appeared to be ' glow ' into the elbow room , monolithic axe in hired man . presumptively , toretrieve the Mother Box protect by the warrior women(one of three in total ) and escape . The more recent shots of Amazon River ride across the island act on by Parademons imply they were fleeing to keep the Apokoliptian machine from the baddie , while footage of Steppenwolf knocking a rider off hogback in the same sun - wash champaign of Themyscira record their cause may be for null .
Which leads us to the image above . Our recitation of it suggests the sequence of events just mentioned : Hippolyta ’s cleaning lady flee with the Mother Box , are pursue , and ultimately abbreviate off by Steppenwolf ( thanks to another bit of ' beam , ' perhaps ) . He defeats the Amazons and claim the gimmick , just as the total horde of Amazons descend upon him . This shot pairs with that of a cavalry guardianship close up on Steppenwolf as he send a beam of light into the sky . Typically , one might look at the heap betting odds and assume Steppenwolf is retreating . But in the world of DC Comics , the ' Boom Tubes ' used by New Gods ( which these look to be in movie form ) are a two - way street .
The light may be Steppenwolf ’s way out of the fight … but it could be his army ’s wayin , as well ( dropping the caul conceal the island from outside force , perhaps ? ) . Which mean we may have been interpreting the previous shots of an Apokoliptian invasion all untimely …
Apokolips Comes To Paradise Island
By now , mostJustice Leaguefans will have the few images of Steppenwolf , his axe , and the nightmare that precedes the encroachment of Apokoliptian warfare ships sear into their computer memory . Since the movie maker were open aboutthe monolithic battle inJustice League ’s prologuescenes , any shot or sequence seen in marketing that appeared to connect to that prologue was - instantly . But when find the above injection - the lush green fields of Themyscira , the tranquil water off its coast appearing just as they did inWonder Woman , all infected by the fiery comer of Apokoliptian ship - another reply start out to form . Consider that the shots of Steppenwolf turn an Earth landscape into pitch-black ash and glowing alien runes are set on Themyscira , and Wonder Woman ’s uttering of the word"invasion … “becomes far more shuddery .
There ’s still hope for the optimist out there , including those who grant that these shooter do in fact show the invasion of Paradise Island . If any army on Earth is able to take a beating and give one to the Parademons of Apokolips , it ’s the Amazons . They may not be able to stand against Steppenwolf himself as well as Diana ( blessed withthe strength and world power of Zeus ) , but en masse , Hippolyta , Menalippe , Artemis , and the rest of the Amazons could make it out of the battle alive . But they wo n’t be able to take their home with them into the outside world .
What strategic purpose is served by Steppenwolf burning Themyscira to a clinker is undecipherable - perhaps it ’s just retaliation for get the better of him in engagement thousands of years ago . In which case , Atlantis and the rest of the planet is in trouble , too . The real question fan should be necessitate , now that the burning of Themyscira has been revealed , iswhat come next?Do the women overhaul into memory , and accept the emotional licking ? Do they seek out Diana to show them a way into Man ’s human race ?
