I had to be told he was a Trump insert. I honestly thought he was just a Gordon Gekko type. His only redeeming quality was he did love his son, which is why I didn't make the Trump connection at first.

Broadly speaking, I get it, but too many aspects of the movie were either undercooked or someone needed to be willing to tell Patty Jenkins that her ideas aren't very good. I agree with RLM said that the movie was a bunch of empty platitudes. That ending monologue was nonsense.

Also, just bring the boyfriend back with a body made of clay. It side steps so many issues and plays into Wonder Woman's original origin.
