"content": "\u003cp>\"I guess every superhero need his theme music,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L53gjP-TtGE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sang Kanye West\u003c/a> seven years ago. The sentiment is right, the pronoun is ... questionable. That Wonder Woman's triumphant big-screen debut this weekend comes 39 years after Superman's and 28 years after Batman's is a travesty — her comic-book debut followed those of her fellow DC Comics heroes by three years and two, respectively. But at least she can claim to have at least one thing that Iron Man still doesn't, never mind Black Widow: a memorable cue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By way of example, take the teaser trailer for next year's \u003cem>Deadpool\u003c/em> sequel. It's built around one major gag: The mutant mercenary witnesses a mugging and ducks into a phone booth to prepare for battle. But Lycra is clingy, and by the time Ryan Reynolds has shimmed into uniform, the victim is dead and his killer has escaped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLeGWcVeIZ4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mocking Deadpool's ineptitude under all this is \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/artists/15003640/john-williams-composer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Williams\u003c/a>' stirring march from \u003cem>Superman: The Movie\u003c/em> — the first big-budget, big-screen comic-book adaption, from 1978. Its ad campaign promised disillusioned post-Vietnam, post-Watergate audiences, \u003cem>You'll believe a man can fly. \u003c/em>Williams' \u003cem>Superman: The Soundtrack\u003c/em> was one big reason they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Superman\u003c/em> was a huge hit that spawned fast-declining sequels, but it did not produce a wave of films derived from comic books. The next big one took a little over a decade to arrive, but Tim Burton's \u003cem>Batman\u003c/em> became the biggest domestic hit of 1989. Although the movie's first trailer, strikingly, featured no music at all, Danny Elfman's brooding, Wagnerian score bat-signaled to audiences that this take on the character would be more gothic and less campy than the Bat-tusi-ing '60s TV Batman that was — at least to people who didn't read comics, where Batman was having a huge resurgence in the late '80s — the version that had stuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(There was also, you know, a whole separate soundtrack album comprising \"Batdance\" and other original tunes by Warner Brothers recording artist \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/artists/15394157/prince\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prince\u003c/a>. Dig if you will the picture / You and I engaged in a mercantile act of corporate synergy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DC's forever rival Marvel Comics tried mightily to get their heroes turned into hit movies, but for the longest time all they got were TV movies or unintentionally hilarious, low-budget versions that often didn't even get released at all. That changed in 2000, when Bryan Singer's \u003cem>X-Men \u003c/em>x-ceeded Fox's expectations for its gross. Then came Sam Raimi's \u003cem>Spider-Man,\u003c/em> in 2002. I saw them both in theaters, more than once. I bought the DVDs. I eagerly awaited their sequels, which did not disappoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could not hum a bar of music from either one to save my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marvel stopped outsourcing its filmmaking and got into the game itself with 2008's \u003cem>Iron Man,\u003c/em> the start of a four-year campaign of solo adventures building up to 2012's Marvel team-up \u003cem>The Avengers.\u003c/em> The movie was written and directed by Joss Whedon, a man who likes musicals so much that he actually wrote the web series \u003cem>Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog\u003c/em> (with his brothers Zack, a TV writer, and Jed, a composer) just to keep himself busy during the 2007-8 writer's strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even his superhero epic — scored by Alan Silvestri, whose credits included \u003cem>Back to the Future \u003c/em>— sounded bland. Instead of all those post-credits scenes, \u003cem>The Avengers \u003c/em>should've ended with a song with lyrics describing each hero's special powers. There's an excellent model for this: Paul Francis Webster and Robert Harris' \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUtziaZlDeE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">theme song\u003c/a> to the mid-'60s Spider-Man cartoon. You know a tune has staying power when it's been covered by \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/artists/15180457/the-ramones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Ramones\u003c/a> \u003cem>and\u003c/em> Michael Bublé. (Composer Michael Giacchino has hinted that the song will be paid homage in his music for \u003cem>Spider-Man: Homecoming \u003c/em>later this summer.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two \u003cem>Guardians of the Galaxy\u003c/em> films are each helped along by an \"Awesome Mix\" of '70s FM. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/02/517009491/logan-is-the-best-at-what-it-does-and-what-it-does-is-gritty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Logan\u003c/em>\u003c/a> ended with \"The Man Comes Around,\" one of the last songs \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/artists/15165794/johnny-cash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Johnny Cash\u003c/a> wrote before he died.

Last summer's \u003cem>The Legend of Tarzan\u003c/em> was the closest thing on his resume to a superhero film until \u003cem>Wonder Woman\u003c/em> director Patty Jenkins tapped him to write the music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, most of it. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman had already been introduced in last year's \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/03/24/471035756/batman-v-superman-superheroes-adrift-in-a-grim-sea-of-studio-money\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>.\u003c/em> When she shows up in uniform near the film's climax, composers \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/artists/15399647/hans-zimmer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hans Zimmer\u003c/a> and Junkie XL give her a distinctive riff. (It sounds like an electric guitar, but it's actually performed on the electric cello by \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Tinaguo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tina Guo\u003c/a>.) Gregson-Williams understood that his score would have to include that instantly memorable theme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a Wonder Woman that had arrived at the peak of her powers,\" he says. \"She knows her strengths, and the theme really reflected that. It's rocking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=261&v=S176AKQhcCk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Gregson-Williams flat-out why so little of the music of our current era of superhero saturation has distinguished itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"\u003c/em>There's a generic language, musically, that's grown up,\" he says. \"In the same way, there are other types of film — Westerns or sci-fi — where there's a generic language which is difficult to shake off. And I guess it's down to the depth of character that you're writing for. If they have some depth, or if there's something different about their powers or about their character or their emotions, I guess it would make it easier to shake that that language off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's fair. Superheroes, like characters in any genre, are defined by their conventions. And this is the first Wonder Woman movie, not the inflated sequel or the back-to-basics reboot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My theory is that music is especially critical to superhero films — and I'll include literary creations like Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, and cinematic homages like Indiana Jones in this category — because the character is larger than any one story. They're fixed in perpetuity. A great score can help give them that immortality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Superman had been around for 40 years when Williams sat down to compose; he's been around another 40 since. In his music, Williams reflected perfectly that film's balance of innocence and sophistication.\u003cem> Wonder Woman, \u003c/em>happily, has that same cocktail of attributes; the same unabashed romanticism and the same understated romance. (Gadot and Chris Pine, who's as fine a foil to her as Margot Kidder was to Christopher Reeve in \u003cem>Superman,\u003c/em> have a chemistry that fairly bubbles.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Patty made a film that is much more on the classic side,\" Gregson-Williams says. \u003cem>\"\u003c/em>And so we could get get involved with more lyricism and melody in parts for the score.

The sentiment is right, the pronoun is ... questionable. That Wonder Woman's triumphant big-screen debut this weekend comes 39 years after Superman's and 28 years after Batman's is a travesty — her comic-book debut followed those of her fellow DC Comics heroes by three years and two, respectively. But at least she can claim to have at least one thing that Iron Man still doesn't, never mind Black Widow: a memorable cue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By way of example, take the teaser trailer for next year's \u003cem>Deadpool\u003c/em> sequel. It's built around one major gag: The mutant mercenary witnesses a mugging and ducks into a phone booth to prepare for battle.

Although the movie's first trailer, strikingly, featured no music at all, Danny Elfman's brooding, Wagnerian score bat-signaled to audiences that this take on the character would be more gothic and less campy than the Bat-tusi-ing '60s TV Batman that was — at least to people who didn't read comics, where Batman was having a huge resurgence in the late '80s — the version that had stuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That changed in 2000, when Bryan Singer's \u003cem>X-Men \u003c/em>x-ceeded Fox's expectations for its gross. Then came Sam Raimi's \u003cem>Spider-Man,\u003c/em> in 2002.

Instead of all those post-credits scenes, \u003cem>The Avengers \u003c/em>should've ended with a song with lyrics describing each hero's special powers.

And I guess it's down to the depth of character that you're writing for. If they have some depth, or if there's something different about their powers or about their character or their emotions, I guess it would make it easier to shake that that language off.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's fair. Superheroes, like characters in any genre, are defined by their conventions. And this is the first Wonder Woman movie, not the inflated sequel or the back-to-basics reboot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My theory is that music is especially critical to superhero films — and I'll include literary creations like Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, and cinematic homages like Indiana Jones in this category — because the character is larger than any one story. They're fixed in perpetuity. A great score can help give them that immortality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Superman had been around for 40 years when Williams sat down to compose; he's been around another 40 since. In his music, Williams reflected perfectly that film's balance of innocence and sophistication.\u003cem> Wonder Woman, \u003c/em>happily, has that same cocktail of attributes; the same unabashed romanticism and the same understated romance. (Gadot and Chris Pine, who's as fine a foil to her as Margot Kidder was to Christopher Reeve in \u003cem>Superman,\u003c/em> have a chemistry that fairly bubbles.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Patty made a film that is much more on the classic side,\" Gregson-Williams says. \u003cem>\"\u003c/em>And so we could get get involved with more lyricism and melody in parts for the score. With some movies, you back off melody because these days it feels like we're trying too hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie begins and ends in the present, but most of the story is set about a century ago, during the first World War. In fact, it's in a trench warfare sequence that Princess Diana — Wonder Woman's Amazonian name — first reveals her powers to the world. The title of this composition is \"No-Man's Land.\" Gregson-Williams says it was important to nail that scene exactly, and that Jenkins sent him back to the composing board several times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_84806\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-84806 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-800x800.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-160x160.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-768x768.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-1020x1020.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-1180x1180.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-960x960.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-240x240.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-375x375.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-520x520.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f-150x150.jpg 150w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/06/patty-jenkins-rupert-gregson-williams_sq-e446da19378d4504769131cc35ec67bda104de4f.jpg 1198w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins consults with composer Rupert Gregson-Williams.\u003cbr>Photo: James Gillham / Sting Media\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"That was an exciting moment to write,\" the composer says. \"It was quite painful to write because I didn't get it right first time, or the second, third or fourth time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting it right came down to Jenkins directing the composer as she would an actor. \"Patty would act out what Diana was thinking for every single move.

In 2000, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/nine-dead-at-pearl-jam-concert-20000817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nine people were killed\u003c/a> and 26 people were injured during Pearl Jam's set at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. In the wake of the horror, the band almost broke up, wrote a song about the accident (titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XWqLJQ_7_k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\"Love Boat Captain\"\u003c/a>), and said they would \u003ca href=\"http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2002-11-12/features/0211110284_1_pearl-jam-courageous-option-riot-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">never play a festival\u003c/a> ever again. In 1979, when 11 people were killed in a crush at a concert by The Who, they forged ahead with the rest of their tour, at the behest of guitarist Pete Townshend who told his bandmates, \"\u003ca href=\"http://ultimateclassicrock.com/worst-concert-mishaps-and-tragedies/#photogallery-1=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If we don't play tomorrow, we'll never play again.\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, after \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">89 of their fans were murdered\u003c/a> by terrorists at the Bataclan venue in Paris, Eagles of Death Metal found healing in returning to the city, first as \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/news/62436-eagles-of-death-metal-return-to-the-stage-joining-u2-for-two-songs-in-paris/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">special guests at a U2 concert\u003c/a>, then at their own show\u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35586337\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> for survivors\u003c/a> of the attack, three months after it happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Ariana Grande canceled the remainder of her tour in the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing, it was easy to imagine that this young woman was probably irretrievably broken by the horror of it all. How on Earth would Baby Ariana and her bunny ears cope with 22 dead and 119 injured fans? Nobody would have been surprised, or begrudged her a break, if Ariana Grande had decided to go into hiding for a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/866849021519966208\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reality, the way that Ariana Grande has responded to having tragedy thrust upon her audience and herself has not only been a shining example of how to heal an entire community, it has also undoubtedly shifted the world's perception of her (\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/871465038699270145\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">including Piers Morgan's\u003c/a>) and, in turn, that of young women. Grande didn't cancel the rest of her tour to mourn or to hide, as we might have expected from a woman so young, she canceled just a few dates to focus on trying to heal Manchester. It started on a personal level—visiting survivors in the hospital, as well as victims' families—and culminated in the One Love concert over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BU4klQ0lH2G/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is an undeniable feat to put together a concert for 50,000 people with a line-up this incredible—Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, and more—in a matter of weeks, but Grande and her team managed just that. Just as astonishing as the \u003ca href=\"http://time.com/4805251/ariana-grande-manchester-benefit-concert-fundraising/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$13 million\u003c/a> raised for the victims and their families, Grande's performance hit all the right notes: respectful and heartfelt without once making it about her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From her performance with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYNhBXNOV4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">local school choir\u003c/a>, to \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKhLx6vSHZs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">talking about the victims\u003c/a> between songs, to even her wardrobe (the singer dressed down in jeans and a bulky Manchester One Love sweater), Grande was about as close to perfect as any star has ever been. She displayed a strength most of us had no idea she had and, in turn, allowed her predominantly young, female audience to demonstrate their own bravery by showing up. If all of that wasn't enough, Grande has just \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7817586/ariana-grande-one-last-time-itunes-manchester-benefit-single\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">re-released \"One Last Time\"\u003c/a> as part of her ongoing fundraising efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cshg5ktpPtI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks to the fact that the One Love Manchester concert had the biggest British TV audience of 2017 so far (\u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/tv-film/7817647/ariana-grandes-manchester-benefit-concert-draws-biggest-uk-tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">14.5 million people\u003c/a>, to be precise), it succeeded in uniting not just Manchester, but the entire country, in the wake of yet another \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/london-bridge-attack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">terror attack\u003c/a> over the weekend. “I think that the kind of love, the unity that you’re displaying is the medicine that the world really needs right now,” Grande told her audience on Sunday, apparently unaware of the fact that that was exactly what \u003cem>she\u003c/em> was doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her overwhelming show of both strength and class, Ariana Grande has demonstrated that, not only have many of us been under-estimating her this entire time, in doing so, we have been under-estimating the awesome power of girls.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The actress even attended the appointment ceremony at the U.N.’s New York headquarters, along with Lynda Carter, who portrayed the superhero in the 1970s television show. But the announcement also came on the heels of a disappointing, yearlong grass-roots effort to get the U.N. to choose its first female secretary-general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was months and months of campaigning by feminist organizations around the world for a woman to be selected,” said Goetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven women — including a prime minister and other highly qualified individuals — were in the running, an unprecedented number. Ultimately the Security Council went with a man — Antonio Guterres. So at the time, the selection of Wonder Woman to represent women’s issues for the U.N. came off to Goetz and others as a sort of demeaning consolation prize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s frivolous, it’s fatuous and it reduces an extremely serious human rights problem experienced by half of the world to a cartoon,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And not just any cartoon, added Goetz. Wonder Woman in her view was tantamount to a Barbie/Playboy pinup. Like most female comic action figures, she has big breasts bursting out of a skimpy outfit and an impossibly tiny waist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The message to girls is that you are expected to meet a male standard in which your significance is reduced to your role as a sexual object,” said Goetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maher Nasser, the U.N. official who essentially brokered Wonder Woman’s appointment, responded at the time that he and other U.N. colleagues had considered those concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean we have had these discussions, of course, with our partners,” said Nasser, who directs the Outreach Division of the U.N.’s Department of Public Information, which handles partnerships with celebrities and entertainment figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Nasser noted that his team worked closely with artists at DC Comics to tone down the image that was used in the U.N. campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The campaign art that we are working with … doesn’t have that caricature image of the wrong stereotype of what a woman should look like,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance they only showed Wonder Woman from the waist up. And they gave her a cape draped round her neck and shoulders, making her bust less prominent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nasser also said the social media campaign was all about emphasizing Wonder Woman’s girl power credentials, what he called “the essence of the character.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The focus [of the U.N.] was on her feminist background, being the first female superhero in a world of male superheroes and that basically she always fought for fairness, justice and peace,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13350615\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 434px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/06/1972-ms-magazine-f90223dc9bdf3eb3b64c537c6bf6f16bbc2ebb20.jpg\" alt=\"Many feminists of the 1970s, including Gloria Steinem, grew up reading Wonder Woman and considered her an inspiration.

But less than two months later, with little fanfare, U.N. officials announced that Wonder Woman’s U.N. career was coming to a close, adding that, actually, they had always intended it to be brief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jill Lepore, a professor at Harvard University who wrote a book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Secret-History-Wonder-Woman/dp/0804173400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Secret History of Wonder Woman\u003c/a>\u003cem>,\u003c/em>\u003cem> \u003c/em>about the comic book character’s creation, said disputes like this have long dogged Wonder Woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one hand, said Lepore, the character has solid feminist roots. She was invented in 1941 by William Moulton Marston, a Harvard-trained Ph.D. psychologist-cum-advice columnist for \u003cem>Family Circle\u003c/em> magazine. Marston had been brought on board by the company that eventually became DC Comics to help deal with a public relations problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s first two superheroes, created in the late 1930s, had become controversial. “Superman looked a bit like a fascist — he’s an ubermensch. Batman carried a gun and was quite violent,” explained Lepore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It had gotten to the point where various religious and parental groups had banned the comics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Lapore, “Marston said, ‘You know, you need a female superhero because she will embody the nurturing values of womanhood. She will be about peace not war.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The character he set about creating drew largely on a real-life woman Marston knew personally and greatly admired: Margaret Sanger, the co-founder of Planned Parenthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the comic book — and now in the new movie — Wonder Woman is a princess of the Amazons of Greek mythology, living on an island where there are no men. That story, said Lepore, “comes not from science fiction but from feminist utopian fiction” popular with Sanger and other early feminists of the progressive era. (The cartoon then introduced the character of a U.S. Army officer, Capt. Steve Trevor, who crash lands on the island. Wonder Woman rescues him and then resolves to go with him to America to fight for democracy and equal rights.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marston had an ambitious vision for his new character, laid out in a remarkable press release, distributed soon after her debut. He stated: “The only hope for civilization is the greater freedom, development and equality of women in all fields of human activity. He added, “Frankly, Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should, I believe, rule the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet even in those earliest years Wonder Woman embodied contradictions.

The actress even attended the appointment ceremony at the U.N.’s New York headquarters, along with Lynda Carter, who portrayed the superhero in the 1970s television show. But the announcement also came on the heels of a disappointing, yearlong grass-roots effort to get the U.N. to choose its first female secretary-general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was months and months of campaigning by feminist organizations around the world for a woman to be selected,” said Goetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven women — including a prime minister and other highly qualified individuals — were in the running, an unprecedented number. Ultimately the Security Council went with a man — Antonio Guterres. So at the time, the selection of Wonder Woman to represent women’s issues for the U.N. came off to Goetz and others as a sort of demeaning consolation prize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s frivolous, it’s fatuous and it reduces an extremely serious human rights problem experienced by half of the world to a cartoon,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And not just any cartoon, added Goetz. Wonder Woman in her view was tantamount to a Barbie/Playboy pinup. Like most female comic action figures, she has big breasts bursting out of a skimpy outfit and an impossibly tiny waist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The message to girls is that you are expected to meet a male standard in which your significance is reduced to your role as a sexual object,” said Goetz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maher Nasser, the U.N. official who essentially brokered Wonder Woman’s appointment, responded at the time that he and other U.N. colleagues had considered those concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean we have had these discussions, of course, with our partners,” said Nasser, who directs the Outreach Division of the U.N.’s Department of Public Information, which handles partnerships with celebrities and entertainment figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Nasser noted that his team worked closely with artists at DC Comics to tone down the image that was used in the U.N. campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The campaign art that we are working with … doesn’t have that caricature image of the wrong stereotype of what a woman should look like,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance they only showed Wonder Woman from the waist up. And they gave her a cape draped round her neck and shoulders, making her bust less prominent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nasser also said the social media campaign was all about emphasizing Wonder Woman’s girl power credentials, what he called “the essence of the character.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The focus [of the U.N.] was on her feminist background, being the first female superhero in a world of male superheroes and that basically she always fought for fairness, justice and peace,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13350615\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 434px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/06/1972-ms-magazine-f90223dc9bdf3eb3b64c537c6bf6f16bbc2ebb20.jpg\" alt=\"Many feminists of the 1970s, including Gloria Steinem, grew up reading Wonder Woman and considered her an inspiration.

But less than two months later, with little fanfare, U.N. officials announced that Wonder Woman’s U.N. career was coming to a close, adding that, actually, they had always intended it to be brief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jill Lepore, a professor at Harvard University who wrote a book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Secret-History-Wonder-Woman/dp/0804173400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Secret History of Wonder Woman\u003c/a>\u003cem>,\u003c/em>\u003cem> \u003c/em>about the comic book character’s creation, said disputes like this have long dogged Wonder Woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one hand, said Lepore, the character has solid feminist roots. She was invented in 1941 by William Moulton Marston, a Harvard-trained Ph.D. psychologist-cum-advice columnist for \u003cem>Family Circle\u003c/em> magazine. Marston had been brought on board by the company that eventually became DC Comics to help deal with a public relations problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company’s first two superheroes, created in the late 1930s, had become controversial. “Superman looked a bit like a fascist — he’s an ubermensch. Batman carried a gun and was quite violent,” explained Lepore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It had gotten to the point where various religious and parental groups had banned the comics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Lapore, “Marston said, ‘You know, you need a female superhero because she will embody the nurturing values of womanhood. She will be about peace not war.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The character he set about creating drew largely on a real-life woman Marston knew personally and greatly admired: Margaret Sanger, the co-founder of Planned Parenthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the comic book — and now in the new movie — Wonder Woman is a princess of the Amazons of Greek mythology, living on an island where there are no men. That story, said Lepore, “comes not from science fiction but from feminist utopian fiction” popular with Sanger and other early feminists of the progressive era. (The cartoon then introduced the character of a U.S. Army officer, Capt. Steve Trevor, who crash lands on the island. Wonder Woman rescues him and then resolves to go with him to America to fight for democracy and equal rights.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marston had an ambitious vision for his new character, laid out in a remarkable press release, distributed soon after her debut. He stated: “The only hope for civilization is the greater freedom, development and equality of women in all fields of human activity. He added, “Frankly, Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should, I believe, rule the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet even in those earliest years Wonder Woman embodied contradictions. It wasn’t just the risqué outfits. Marston insisted that in every episode Wonder Woman had to be tied up or otherwise bound by the villain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, said Lepore, this was a nod to the iconography of the suffragettes of the early 1900s, who often wore chains on marches seeking the right to vote. But it also became clear from letters to DC Comics that Wonder Woman’s largely male audience found this aspect of her story titillating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And last fall, that bondage theme — at a time when women are under threat from extremist violence around the world — was just one more reason activists like Goetz were uncomfortable with the idea of Wonder Woman as a U.N. ambassador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wonder Woman nonetheless remained a darling of feminists through the 1970s — she was on the first cover of \u003cem>Ms.\u003c/em> magazine.

It wasn’t long before people in the industry tried to coax her back onto daytime television. She turned down all offers -- until one of her childhood idols, Barbara Walters, asked her to be the main host of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The View\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

This new Rosie was an out lesbian who was no longer afraid to speak her mind on politics and everything else. Rather than keeping it cute, Rosie had found her voice and wasn’t going to give it up without a fight. After years of saying what America was ready to hear, she switched gears to what America \u003cem>needed\u003c/em> to hear.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/oreillyrosie2007.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-83821\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/oreillyrosie2007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"315\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/oreillyrosie2007.jpg 315w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/oreillyrosie2007-160x118.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/oreillyrosie2007-240x178.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\">\u003c/a>Her stint on \u003ci>The View\u003c/i> lasted only a year, and was filled with drama at every turn. Fox News regularly attacked her for her views on the Iraq War and President George W. Bush. This, remember, was in the wake of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Music/03/14/dixie.chicks.reut/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dixie Chicks being blacklisted\u003c/a> for their political opinions, which created an environment that equated criticism of Bush and his administration's policies with being anti-American or unpatriotic. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/07/politics/donald-trump-rosie-odonnell-feud/\">Donald Trump also got into the action, attacking Rosie \u003c/a>for bringing up his bankruptcies and mocking his combover, calling her \"a woman out of control\" and threatening to sue her (\"Rosie will rue the words she said. I'll most likely sue her for making those false statements -- and it'll be fun. Rosie's a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie\").\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As if that wasn't enough, Rosie had to regularly go toe-to-toe with panelist Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who was aided by an executive producer who -- rumor has it -- fed Hasselback with Republican party talking points every morning. Every weekday, in front of millions, Elisabeth would dish out an entrée of alternative facts, and Rosie would take the bait.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The near-constant sparring resulted in numerous news cycles of Rosie being painted as the alleged bully and antagonist to Hasselbeck’s innocent-seeming, pretty, conservative Christian (one\u003c/span> \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Los Angeles Times \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">piece went with the headline\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/la-oe-goldberg3apr03-column.html\">The 'Queen of Nice' Goes Nuts\u003c/a>\")\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each time some feud blossomed, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The View\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> enjoyed huge ratings, leading to a 17% increase in viewers from the previous Rosie-less season. Despite having a hit on their hands, things weren’t too joyous behind the scenes. A culture of distrust began to build; Rosie felt as though Walters, whom she thought of as a surrogate mother, didn’t have her back -- and that Walters and the show's producers were setting her up for more and more fireworks with Hasselbeck.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On May 23, 2007, everything finally boiled over. Comedian Joy Behar started a conversation about Al Gore and Jimmy Carter's belief that Bush was the country’s worst president, and listed Bush’s bad qualities (his handling of torture at Abu Ghraib; his response to Hurricane Katrina; his repeated mispronunciation of \"nuclear\"; the time he choked on a pretzel). Joy, Elisabeth, and Sherri Shepherd (a woman who, on a different episode of \u003cem>The View\u003c/em>, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkrkaH_V7fE\">the world might actually be flat\u003c/a>) got into it for several minutes, while Rosie sat quietly. Tired of having her words misconstrued by Fox News every night, she was waiting for the clock to run out on her contract in a few weeks. But she couldn’t help but say something in response to Elisabeth calling Iraqis our enemies.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things quickly exploded:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAwoPLhJVAs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six uninterrupted minutes of an epic, messy, personal fight ensued. The curtain was pulled back to reveal not just TV personalities debating \"hot topics,\" but one human being feeling betrayed and used by someone she thought was a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This moment evokes and pokes holes in an idea that's been batted around a lot since the 2016 election -- that the way to heal the divisions in the country is for people from opposite ends of the political spectrum to engage in conversation. (If only liberals and conservatives had broken bread and chatted about their differences over some Budweisers, the thinking goes, then the country wouldn't have elected a man who called Mexican immigrants \"rapists,\" mocked a disabled reporter, promised to ban Muslims, and admitted to sexual assault on camera.) But no matter how good anyone's intentions may be, it can be impossible to have a productive dialogue when one person's belief system is founded in another's oppression, or argues against another's humanity and right to exist. There’s isn’t anywhere to go from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the back-and-forth, Rosie noticed that the producers had placed a split-screen between the two women so that viewers at home could watch each of their faces getting redder and angrier. The split-screen had never been used on the program before, and Rosie has said that she believes they crafted it specifically for this inevitability, which they seemed to hope would happen someday. They got their wish, and Rosie didn't return to the show the next day -- or the following day, or the one after that. A few weeks before her contract expired, Rosie quit.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP-x78w48Es\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last week marked that moment’s tenth anniversary. A lot has happened in the past 10 years, but has our discourse really changed that much? After a detour to the left during the oasis of Obama, we’re right back into a timeline where criticizing the President or his administration is seen as unpatriotic. These days, President Trump will tweet about any celebrity who criticizes him (Rosie is still one of his favorite targets, so much so that he randomly brought her up during one of the 2016 presidential debates). And, beyond celebrities, working journalists are regularly attacked -- figuratively and literally -- for reporting the facts. Trump declaring the press “the enemy of the people” and “fake news” has engendered a culture in which a Montana Republican seeking election \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/867535038749040640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">body-slams a reporter for asking a question\u003c/a>, and it’s not even the most shocking news item of the day.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every year, reality TV thrives more and more on conflict, overturned tables, wig tugs, and televised celebrity firings. It's gotten so bad that, on\u003cem> Love & Hip Hop Hollywood\u003c/em>,\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Tacky_Nerd/status/656206312120975360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbossip.com%2F1242768%2Fyuck-on-yuck-lhhh-star-nikki-baby-mudarris-claps-back-at-nasty-nastassia-for-throwing-vomit-at-her-during-fight%2F\"> one woman vomited into her hand and threw it in another woman's face\u003c/a>. Has reality TV influenced us into becoming more conflict-oriented? Or has reality TV simply been holding up a mirror to what we already were? It's hard to say, but something that’s clear is that this moment between Rosie and Elisabeth foretold what we’re living through now: a culture of division, and a culture in which someone speaking or reporting truth will be smeared or punished. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-83818\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover.jpg 670w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover-160x207.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover-240x310.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover-375x485.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover-520x672.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>Since their epic showdown, Rosie has returned to stand-up and acting. Hasselbeck moved over to Fox News, where she was able to make statements like “\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why has the Black Lives Matter movement not been classified yet as a hate group?\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">” before eventually being replaced by another young blonde woman. In 2014, when Elisabeth heard that Rosie was asked to return as a host of \u003cem>The View\u003c/em>, she did not take the high road: \"What could ruin a vacation more than to hear news like this?\" she said. \"Talk about not securing the border. Here comes to \u003cem>The View\u003c/em> the very woman who spit in the face of our military, spit in the face of her own network and really in the face of a person who stood by her and had civilized debates for the time that she was there. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am happy to have a #momversation about why I would never defend her 2007 comments. #letfreedomring.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As far as I know, Rosie didn't respond to Elisabeth's remarks or take her up on that \"#momversation,\" and I don't blame her. As comforting as the notion of healing through conversation may be, I don't see much hope for Rosie and Elisabeth to ever mend fences. And the way things have gone in the past 10 years, I'm not sure \"conversation\" is going to unite the divided left and right in America either. But I hope I'm wrong. I really do.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It wasn’t long before people in the industry tried to coax her back onto daytime television.

This new Rosie was an out lesbian who was no longer afraid to speak her mind on politics and everything else. Rather than keeping it cute, Rosie had found her voice and wasn’t going to give it up without a fight.

Fox News regularly attacked her for her views on the Iraq War and President George W. Bush. This, remember, was in the wake of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Music/03/14/dixie.chicks.reut/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dixie Chicks being blacklisted\u003c/a> for their political opinions, which created an environment that equated criticism of Bush and his administration's policies with being anti-American or unpatriotic. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/07/politics/donald-trump-rosie-odonnell-feud/\">Donald Trump also got into the action, attacking Rosie \u003c/a>for bringing up his bankruptcies and mocking his combover, calling her \"a woman out of control\" and threatening to sue her (\"Rosie will rue the words she said. I'll most likely sue her for making those false statements -- and it'll be fun. Rosie's a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie\").\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As if that wasn't enough, Rosie had to regularly go toe-to-toe with panelist Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who was aided by an executive producer who -- rumor has it -- fed Hasselback with Republican party talking points every morning. Every weekday, in front of millions, Elisabeth would dish out an entrée of alternative facts, and Rosie would take the bait.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The near-constant sparring resulted in numerous news cycles of Rosie being painted as the alleged bully and antagonist to Hasselbeck’s innocent-seeming, pretty, conservative Christian (one\u003c/span> \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Los Angeles Times \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">piece went with the headline\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/la-oe-goldberg3apr03-column.html\">The 'Queen of Nice' Goes Nuts\u003c/a>\")\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each time some feud blossomed, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The View\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> enjoyed huge ratings, leading to a 17% increase in viewers from the previous Rosie-less season. Despite having a hit on their hands, things weren’t too joyous behind the scenes. A culture of distrust began to build; Rosie felt as though Walters, whom she thought of as a surrogate mother, didn’t have her back -- and that Walters and the show's producers were setting her up for more and more fireworks with Hasselbeck.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On May 23, 2007, everything finally boiled over. Comedian Joy Behar started a conversation about Al Gore and Jimmy Carter's belief that Bush was the country’s worst president, and listed Bush’s bad qualities (his handling of torture at Abu Ghraib; his response to Hurricane Katrina; his repeated mispronunciation of \"nuclear\"; the time he choked on a pretzel). Joy, Elisabeth, and Sherri Shepherd (a woman who, on a different episode of \u003cem>The View\u003c/em>, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkrkaH_V7fE\">the world might actually be flat\u003c/a>) got into it for several minutes, while Rosie sat quietly. Tired of having her words misconstrued by Fox News every night, she was waiting for the clock to run out on her contract in a few weeks. But she couldn’t help but say something in response to Elisabeth calling Iraqis our enemies.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things quickly exploded:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/aAwoPLhJVAs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/aAwoPLhJVAs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Six uninterrupted minutes of an epic, messy, personal fight ensued. The curtain was pulled back to reveal not just TV personalities debating \"hot topics,\" but one human being feeling betrayed and used by someone she thought was a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This moment evokes and pokes holes in an idea that's been batted around a lot since the 2016 election -- that the way to heal the divisions in the country is for people from opposite ends of the political spectrum to engage in conversation. (If only liberals and conservatives had broken bread and chatted about their differences over some Budweisers, the thinking goes, then the country wouldn't have elected a man who called Mexican immigrants \"rapists,\" mocked a disabled reporter, promised to ban Muslims, and admitted to sexual assault on camera.) But no matter how good anyone's intentions may be, it can be impossible to have a productive dialogue when one person's belief system is founded in another's oppression, or argues against another's humanity and right to exist. There’s isn’t anywhere to go from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the back-and-forth, Rosie noticed that the producers had placed a split-screen between the two women so that viewers at home could watch each of their faces getting redder and angrier. The split-screen had never been used on the program before, and Rosie has said that she believes they crafted it specifically for this inevitability, which they seemed to hope would happen someday. They got their wish, and Rosie didn't return to the show the next day -- or the following day, or the one after that. A few weeks before her contract expired, Rosie quit.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/NP-x78w48Es'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/NP-x78w48Es'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last week marked that moment’s tenth anniversary. A lot has happened in the past 10 years, but has our discourse really changed that much? After a detour to the left during the oasis of Obama, we’re right back into a timeline where criticizing the President or his administration is seen as unpatriotic. These days, President Trump will tweet about any celebrity who criticizes him (Rosie is still one of his favorite targets, so much so that he randomly brought her up during one of the 2016 presidential debates). And, beyond celebrities, working journalists are regularly attacked -- figuratively and literally -- for reporting the facts. Trump declaring the press “the enemy of the people” and “fake news” has engendered a culture in which a Montana Republican seeking election \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/867535038749040640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">body-slams a reporter for asking a question\u003c/a>, and it’s not even the most shocking news item of the day.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every year, reality TV thrives more and more on conflict, overturned tables, wig tugs, and televised celebrity firings. It's gotten so bad that, on\u003cem> Love & Hip Hop Hollywood\u003c/em>,\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Tacky_Nerd/status/656206312120975360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbossip.com%2F1242768%2Fyuck-on-yuck-lhhh-star-nikki-baby-mudarris-claps-back-at-nasty-nastassia-for-throwing-vomit-at-her-during-fight%2F\"> one woman vomited into her hand and threw it in another woman's face\u003c/a>. Has reality TV influenced us into becoming more conflict-oriented? Or has reality TV simply been holding up a mirror to what we already were? It's hard to say, but something that’s clear is that this moment between Rosie and Elisabeth foretold what we’re living through now: a culture of division, and a culture in which someone speaking or reporting truth will be smeared or punished. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-83818\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover.jpg 670w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover-160x207.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover-240x310.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover-375x485.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/rosie-odonnel-returns-to-the-view-cover-520x672.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>Since their epic showdown, Rosie has returned to stand-up and acting.

Seems to get a new one every week. Florence Welch? Most of her tattoos appear to be DIY. Miley Cyrus has a smiley face on her ankle that her friend Cheyne Thomas did, and we imagine it's not alone.

Friends giving each other DIY tattoos is one of the single greatest bonding experiences two people can have. Aside from anything else, marking a specific minute in time, right then and there, while you're swept up in a moment, is not possible to do professionally if it's three in the morning, or you're poor, or there's a waiting list at the tattoo shop.

(Has anyone mentioned to Jaden that Four Seasons pancakes probably already contain eggs and milk? Does Jaden know what vegans are allowed to eat?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, all of this, while incredibly entertaining, seems, in the grand Twitter-related scheme of things, rather petty as long as we have an acting President who uses Twitter as a means to shame his perceived enemies, rant about foreign affairs, and disparage media outlets. For his supporters, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump\">President Trump\u003c/a>'s Twitter account is the stuff of dreams -- a window into every idea he has, as he has it; for his detractors, it's a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-41fbDYZyLo\">national embarrassment\u003c/a>; and for almost everyone watching, it is extraordinarily surreal to see a POTUS communicating with the world in this manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no doubt that future generations will look back on this moment in time and see Twitter as an absolute game-changer in the political sphere. But truthfully, Twitter has been having a seismic impact on how the world interacts with itself, and its famous people, for years now. This particular form of social media has absolutely changed not only the nature of how popular culture is disseminated and discussed, it has forever altered the proximity we are able to feel to our heroes. For all intents and purposes, if a celebrity is on Twitter, the world has a direct line to them.

If the original \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> didn't need to be 3-hours, it is unabashed madness to assume anyone would want this one to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1987's \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092890/?ref_=nv_sr_2\">\u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is a ridiculous film with a frequently insane script, but it remains much-beloved around the world because of its magical combination of '60s nostalgia, super-cute wardrobe, great soundtrack and, above all else, the electric chemistry between Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. It is, unequivocally, a film that never, ever needed to be re-made. And if anyone was going to insist on doing something so foolish,that entity should have been a major movie studio, not ABC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite featuring some solid talent -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0405103/\">Sarah Hyland\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0970122/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Nicole Scherzinger\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005226/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Debra Messing\u003c/a> all do the best with what they're given -- this thing is almost entirely lacking in any sense. The warning signs came early. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgyaquCP6uk\">ET\u003c/a>, speaking to Abigail Breslin in a recent episode, as part of a preview for \u003cem>Dirty Dancing,\u003c/em> pointed out that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449059/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">\u003cem>Little Miss Sunshine\u003c/em>\u003c/a> star had \"absolutely no dance experience.\" Breslin herself admitted as much: \"I was like ‘I wanna be like Baby. I wanna dance like that, but I’m the most uncoordinated human being on the face of the Earth, so it didn’t seem like a likely scenario for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, everyone, ABC cast a non-dancer as the lead in a movie about dancing. And that one little nugget of info serves to symbolize the essence of everything that happened on our televisions last night. Breslin tried her adorable best -- in many ways out-charming Jennifer Grey's whiny Baby -- but her lack of grace on the dance floor was a major stumbling block and a serious oversight on the part of the producers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as for Patrick Swayze's replacement, Colt Prattes? Swayze's shoes are simply too big for anyone to fill. And while Prattes has all of the abs, he's somehow lacking the sexual dynamism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/swayze-gif.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truly, ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> is a remake for people who want to see the original done with less dirt and worse dancing. And that's true, even after the added scenes where Scherzinger teaches Breslin about the power of her womanly groin. (No joke.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> has a weaker soundtrack too -- modern day covers of the golden oldies and \u003cem>DD\u003c/em> classics (including, criminally, Swayze's own \"She's Like the Wind\") that made the original so special, with some bizarre musical interludes thrown in. Like the part when Baby's dad finds out she has spent the night with Johnny and responds by going to the dance studio and inexplicably singing Frank Sinatra's \"They Can't Take That Away From Me\" to himself on the piano. Also, did anyone want or need the final dance routine to be performed as a group vocal number where even the parents join in? The answer is no. Just... please, no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot to complain about when it comes to the fad of live television musicals, but somehow, remarkably, last night's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> -- utterly confused about what it wanted to be -- actually made it possible to miss the productions that commit all the way. At least when things are live, the promise of things going wrong at any given moment is tantalizingly there. ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> was all kinds of wrong -- just not in the fun ways.\u003c/p>\n\n",

If the original \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> didn't need to be 3-hours, it is unabashed madness to assume anyone would want this one to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1987's \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092890/?ref_=nv_sr_2\">\u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is a ridiculous film with a frequently insane script, but it remains much-beloved around the world because of its magical combination of '60s nostalgia, super-cute wardrobe, great soundtrack and, above all else, the electric chemistry between Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. It is, unequivocally, a film that never, ever needed to be re-made. And if anyone was going to insist on doing something so foolish,that entity should have been a major movie studio, not ABC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite featuring some solid talent -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0405103/\">Sarah Hyland\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0970122/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Nicole Scherzinger\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005226/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Debra Messing\u003c/a> all do the best with what they're given -- this thing is almost entirely lacking in any sense. The warning signs came early. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgyaquCP6uk\">ET\u003c/a>, speaking to Abigail Breslin in a recent episode, as part of a preview for \u003cem>Dirty Dancing,\u003c/em> pointed out that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449059/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">\u003cem>Little Miss Sunshine\u003c/em>\u003c/a> star had \"absolutely no dance experience.\" Breslin herself admitted as much: \"I was like ‘I wanna be like Baby. I wanna dance like that, but I’m the most uncoordinated human being on the face of the Earth, so it didn’t seem like a likely scenario for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, everyone, ABC cast a non-dancer as the lead in a movie about dancing. And that one little nugget of info serves to symbolize the essence of everything that happened on our televisions last night. Breslin tried her adorable best -- in many ways out-charming Jennifer Grey's whiny Baby -- but her lack of grace on the dance floor was a major stumbling block and a serious oversight on the part of the producers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as for Patrick Swayze's replacement, Colt Prattes? Swayze's shoes are simply too big for anyone to fill. And while Prattes has all of the abs, he's somehow lacking the sexual dynamism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/05/swayze-gif.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Truly, ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> is a remake for people who want to see the original done with less dirt and worse dancing. And that's true, even after the added scenes where Scherzinger teaches Breslin about the power of her womanly groin. (No joke.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> has a weaker soundtrack too -- modern day covers of the golden oldies and \u003cem>DD\u003c/em> classics (including, criminally, Swayze's own \"She's Like the Wind\") that made the original so special, with some bizarre musical interludes thrown in. Like the part when Baby's dad finds out she has spent the night with Johnny and responds by going to the dance studio and inexplicably singing Frank Sinatra's \"They Can't Take That Away From Me\" to himself on the piano. Also, did anyone want or need the final dance routine to be performed as a group vocal number where even the parents join in? The answer is no. Just... please, no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot to complain about when it comes to the fad of live television musicals, but somehow, remarkably, last night's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> -- utterly confused about what it wanted to be -- actually made it possible to miss the productions that commit all the way. At least when things are live, the promise of things going wrong at any given moment is tantalizingly there. ABC's \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> was all kinds of wrong -- just not in the fun ways.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
