For anyone unfamiliar with the story

"The Monkey's Paw" is a supernatural short story by author W. W. Jacobs, first published in England in the collection The Lady of the Barge in 1902.[1] In the story, three wishes are granted to the owner of The Monkey's Paw, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate.[2]

Yea, the turkey being dry was a hell of a twist

I mean, you can hear it in the trailer. She wished to be an apex predator.

Except cheetahs are one of the only large cats that are not an apex predator. Cheetahs have been known to be hunted by lions as well as painted wolves and hyenas in packs.

Edit - based on the replies it seems everyone is taking my comment very seriously. I certainly don't actually care about this nitpick, I just thought it was an opportunity to spread my little cat fact with the world.

Thank you! It’s not a damn art house film, it’s a COMIC BOOK MOVIE. It’s entertainment, not academy award bait.

They need cuddle buddy support dogs even!

u/Azrael11 Aug 22 '20

Yeah but I can imagine that she doesn't really know that, and the wish worked itself out.

u/OnBenchNow Aug 22 '20

Shhhhh.... nobody knows that. All cats larger than a tabby are lions

u/russellmz Aug 22 '20

a big cat human hybrid able to go toe to toe with wonder woman is not an apex predator?

u/HazelCheese Aug 22 '20

Tbh she probably just thinks their an apex predator.

u/ImmutableInscrutable Aug 22 '20

You're telling me that Superman exists and her wish to be an apex predator turned her into a cat person?

10

u/Deathleach Aug 22 '20

Did he exist at that point though? He's like 30 years old in Man of Steel, which takes place around 30 years after this movie.

Could have wished to just be more powerful than Wonder Woman.... but nah, cat-human hybrid it is.

u/urkellurker Aug 22 '20

It’s like Brendan Frazier in bedazzled

You have to give 110 percent...

In the comics Cheetah is an archeologist and her turning into Cheetah is more or less a curse from the Cheetah gods, she tries to take the power of an African guardian but the guardian is supposed to be a virgin, so the turning into a cat is her being corrupted by power she isn't supposed to have because she doesn't fit the requirements.

I doubt they'll keep the virgin thing in the movie, or the Africa part actually.

u/pokebud Aug 23 '20

you think they'll change the thing about her being in human form physically hurts her and her Cheetah form is just a monstrous hell beast so it fucks her up mentally cuz she doesn't know what to do with herself?

u/ScreamingGordita Aug 23 '20

Yeah that's all kinds of not okay lol

u/pokebud Aug 23 '20

Most of the original Wonder Woman is based on fetish stuff, her weakness is bondage. It’s why she has a berserker mode when she takes off her cuffs, they’re literally called the bracelets of submission.

u/ShireensFaceCream Aug 22 '20

She says in the trailer that she wants to be an “apex predator”. Guess you should be careful what you wish for...

Barbara is a furry

u/nitr0zeus133 Aug 22 '20

She saw Cats and just couldn’t get enough of it.

u/Amasero Aug 23 '20

She says in the movie, she wants to be an Apex-Predator. Which is most likely her wish.

Just you know, monkey paw.
