> [@Oslo\_Ostragoth](#): > > [Christina Hendricks’ feet](http://www.feetceleb.com/christina-hendricks/christina-hendricks-feet.jpg). LOL. _WHO GIVES A SHIT?!_ Gods. Anyway, as much as I like Chris Hendricks, she’s not Wonder Woman. ---

I like the idea, but the producers need to make the costume more sexy-say, more like a Frank Frazetti deal. Im thinking…thong bikini, perhaps-would that fly?🙂 ---

> [@Daddypants](#): > > Jeeezus! Look at those big toes. Ick. Looks like monkey feet. I think that’s the fault of the shoes. They’re really shoving her toes around in a very unnatural way - they’re pretty but they really ugly her feet up. ---

> [@Zsofia](#): > > I think that’s the fault of the shoes. They’re really shoving her toes around in a very unnatural way - they’re pretty but they really ugly her feet up. For some reason, when it comes to most fashion designers, the more expensive the shoe, the narrower it gets. To the point where you (and by you I mean I) have to go up two sizes just so the things fit, especially since heels push the widest part of your foot even further forward. Hopefully she got these at the last minute from a clueless stylist. ---

She may be wrong for the part, but I would pay money just to see a Powerpoint slideshow of her posing in the costume. 🙂 ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Similarly, there’s a method for someone who does not currently have an athletic build, to gain an athletic build. It’s called “exercise.” I posit that Hendrick’s toning up to that point would, in true comic-book irony fashion, destroy what she’s beloved for in the process of giving her fans what they want. That path can only lead down the slippery slope to super-villainhood. Trust me, I’ve seen women with that build in superhero outfits. She’ll look fantastic, but she’ll look like a cosplayer. Or possibly a fetish model. And any Wonder Woman movie is going to have to work pretty hard at keeping that angle to an acceptable level without tempting fate. The more important question is, can she be convincingly badass? What I’ve seen of Mad Men is inconclusive. – Since we’ve reached the point of suggesting non-actors, I feel obliged to point out that ah, “independent-film” actress Kym Wilde looks almost disturbingly like Wonder Woman. They even share some of the same interests. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/christina-hendricks-wants-to-play-wonder-woman/565310.md?page=3)
