Topic Notes:
Talk about World War I and how it fits into the story of Diana's loss of innocence.
Talk about Dr. Poison's disfiguration and whether or not it's problematic (Harvey Dent/Two-Face).
Talk about the film language and the differernt way Diana's body is framed (lack of male gaze).
Talk about how gender roles are portrayed in 1918 and 1984.
Talk about Steve Trevor and how he is a good nontoxic male character.
Maxwell Lord: Evil Oberyn Martell and the Pedro Pascal-issance.

The Monkey's paw and the downside of 1980s nostalgia.
Talk about the false binary: WW84 good or WW84 bad.
