If you wander over to www.wonder-who.com, you’ll see what could be the greatest nerdgasm of all time: Megan Fox in a Wonder Woman outfit. No, you’re not dreaming, just living in the glorious age of Photoshop.
A few months ago, though, this project had the Internet abuzz with the promise (albeit an untrue one) of a new Wonder Woman movie starring super-sexpot Megan Fox. The guy who designed this, a graphic artist who simply credits himself as “John,” released new images and information in a slow trickle, successfully creating anticipation and fooling fans into frothing at the mouth over the prospect of a Fox super-heroine.
In retrospect, the lie is somewhat obvious (IMDB, anyone?). Still you can’t blame believers for having a bout of wishful thinking. Fact: Wonder woman gave you your first boner, or at least a very early one. Fact: Megan Fox gave you your most recent boner, or at least a very recent one. What this Photoshop ruse represents is a glorious ideal, a beacon that transcends time and shines a light across the ages of bonerdom. As to John’s stated purpose, he wanted to get the real Wonder Woman movie out of “Development Hell.” As you may know, there is a Wonder Woman film in the works, but for now it appears that there is still a great deal of licensing red tape to cut through. For those with short memories, Watchmen is another film that spent it’s time in this kind of limbo, taking more than 15 years and several rewrites to see the light of day. If it can be used as any indication, then the Wonder Woman movie won’t be ready until Megan Fox is approaching 40 with six kids in tow.
So to John and all the other dreamers, we give kudos. Kudos for your skills. Kudos for your crusading spirit. Most of all, kudos for harnessing those deep-seated obsessions and creating something we can all enjoy. Go away now, I’m going to “enjoy” John’s work.
