Wonder Woman 1984

In 1984, Diana is now living in Washington, D.C, and working as an archaeologist at the Smithsonian Museum. She befriends her new colleague, Barbara Minerva, an awkward and insecure woman who envies Diana's confidence and beauty.

Meanwhile, an ambitious businessman named Maxwell Lord introduces a controversial artifact called the Dreamstone, capable of granting any wish. Barbara wishes to be more like Diana, while a desperate and grieving museum visitor wishes for his deceased loved one to come back. Unbeknownst to them, the Dreamstone fulfills their wishes but also takes something precious away in return.

Diana comes across the Dreamstone during her work, and unknowingly wishes for her lost love, Steve Trevor, to return. To her surprise, Steve magically comes back to life, but in another man's body. The two reconnect, and Diana is torn between the happiness of being with Steve again and the uncertainty of the Dreamstone's power.

As Barbara gains newfound confidence and strength, she becomes more like Diana and is amazed by her own abilities. However, these powers come at a cost. Barbara's growing arrogance and lust for power lead her down a dark path, resulting in her transformation into the fierce and vicious villain, Cheetah.

Meanwhile, Maxwell Lord, whose company is on the verge of bankruptcy, realises the immense power of the Dreamstone and begins exploiting it. The stone allows him to grant wishes but also takes a personal toll on his health and sanity. He seeks the stone's ability to grant unlimited power and uses it to grant wishes for millions of people, rapidly deteriorating the world.

Diana and Steve team up to stop Maxwell Lord and restore balance. They track him down to a secret broadcast center where he plans to use the Dreamstone's powers to influence the entire world. Diana battles Cheetah, realizing that to defeat her, she must renounce her own wish for Steve's return.

With Cheetah temporarily defeated, Diana confronts Maxwell Lord and pleads with him to renounce his wish, warning him of the consequences. However, Maxwell, driven by his lust for power, refuses to listen and absorbs more wishes from people across the world, becoming an embodiment of chaos and destruction.

Diana realises that she must use her compassion, truth, and selflessness to save the world. She convinces people to renounce their wishes by broadcasting a message of hope and unity. Feeling the weight of her actions, Maxwell Lord realises the error of his ways and surrenders, renouncing his own wish and restoring the world to its original state.

As the chaos subsides, Diana says goodbye to Steve, realizing that she cannot hold onto her past forever. She embraces her role as Wonder Woman, carrying the lessons of truth, love, and sacrifice with her. She continues to protect the world, inspiring others with her strength and compassion, true to her duty as a superhero.

Other mistake: Fireworks use heated metals to produce the various colors seen when they explode - Iron, Nickel, Cryolite, magnesium and copper filings. Flying a jet engine through exploding fireworks would cause serious damage to the engine.

Suggested correction: Diana had conjured an invisibility shield around the jet that would likely protect it from the fireworks.

Agreed, the spell does obviously do more than just make the plane invisible. When looking at the invisibility of Themyscira, the spell obviously filters out the atmosphere and only can't keep out solid objects like planes and ships.

If the cloak of invisibility "filters out the atmosphere", how is the air needed to run the engines getting in?

It filters the atmosphere, not keep it away. So it keeps the atmosphere that comes in clean.

Trivia: Panning around Diana's apartment, the camera briefly lingers on a photo of her with an elderly lady, with no elaboration of its significance. But look closely and you'll realise the woman in the photo is Etta from the first movie, again played by Lucy Davis, just made up to look 67 years older.

More trivia for Wonder Woman 1984

Answer: When Barbara Minerva wished to be just like Diana, she was granted the same strength and powers as Wonder Woman. Barbara additionally became less humane and even more powerful and dangerous after morphing into "Cheetah." Diana needed the armor to outmatch and defeat Barbara. She was also expecting to fight a multitude of soldiers to get to Max. The armor was originally Asteria's, who needed the extra protection when she battled an army to save the other Amazons.
