Wonder Woman Q & A: What not to ask celebrities in public

Everyone loves Wonder Woman and that was made clear at the Apple Q&A for the DVD release. But some questions don’t need to be asked.

Going to a Q&A, especially one surrounding Wonder Woman, was a battle. Not one that the Amazons couldn’t handle, but a battle nonetheless. Basically sexist questions and all that jazz are still alive and kicking.

Tuesday night, the sexism wasn’t the problem. It was fans asking things they shouldn’t at a Q&A instead. My pet peeve is when a fan asks for something, especially a job or advice on their career. Not because I think it’s a bad thing to ask, but you’re there to talk about a film. It isn’t an interview.

At the Apple SoHo session Tuesday, there were more questions geared toward “give me a job” than “Here is my question about the film.” It was especially upsetting because there are so many layers to this film, the potential questions are endless.

But you know what it did teach us? That Patty Jenkins is truly a goddess among us. She made every fan there feel important and like their questions mattered. Even the man who continually said he loved Marvel and wanted to be a jeweler in her movies.

Patty Jenkins wanted everyone there to know that they were the reason Wonder Woman was a success. She didn’t act like a director who broke records. She didn’t seem like any of it went to her head. And that’s what I love about her.

The DVD for Wonder Woman is out on digital release Aug. 29. Get it and experience the magic of Diana Prince over and over again. And believe me, you’ll want to. This movie is everything we could have dreamt of and more, and that’s all thanks to a personal hero of mine, Patty Jenkins.
