Improve Lynda Carter, really?

          I know that times are changing and that change is a part of life. What I am confused about is why must we always seek change? Why are we convinced that there is always something bigger and better? Do we really need a TV that can be seen in 3D, HD, and comparable in size to a billboard? The kind that you need to wear a lead apron and can heat your home? How can we live without the latest phone? At this point our phones can do just about anything including cause cancer.      
          There are some things in life that don’t need to be “improved” upon. There are things that are iconic and shouldn’t even be questioned. The point I am getting at is the unveiling of the “New” Wonder Woman. I was never under the impression that there was anything wrong with the original. Lynda Carter embodied everything that was a female superhero. She was beautiful, smart, cunning, and obviously very patriotic (as evidenced by her smart red, white, and blue costume). 
          The “New” Wonder Woman is a slap in the face to the character that the classy Lynda Carter portrayed for years. From her horrible and trashy outfit to her long poorly styled hair, she is anything but an improved representation of the first female superhero. It’s as if someone decided to replace Princess Diana with Courtney Love. Thus is life, sometimes though it’s just best to hold the cards you’ve been dealt.
          What I really want to know is instead of worrying about what Xena, Warrior Princess looks like after learning how to cook meth, I want to know why they have already started releasing the Fifty Shades of Grey movie trailer and the movie is not slated to be released until February of next year! Talk about S&M! They are literally torturing everyone who is longing to see this movie or to drag their significant other to see it…hoping that they might take the hint…
          Take my advice, skip out on the trashy looking Wonder Woman and read Fifty Shades before the movie release. It will do much more for your life and relationship than watching another cartoon character brought to the big screen. Trust me, I’m VERY interested in Christian Grey and I’d dare say that most women would agree.
