Details of Lord Maxwell in Wonder Woman 1984 leave DCEU fans scratching their heads

After absorbing the power of the Dreamstone, Maxwell Lord began granting wishes to all who asked for it. The caveat is that he must take something from them in return, allowing him to accumulate political and social power. With each wish, however, his health slowly deteriorated, prompting him to hijack a satellite television station to broadcast wishes across the globe and take the life force of millions. Thankfully, Wonder Woman ended his plans and prevented him from causing any further chaos, and he gave up his powers with just a slap on the wrist as punishment.

“How is this man not the most hated man in the world? Why does he have a happy ending? He almost caused World War 3, and the whole world witnessed it. He had to be in a maximum security prison on a terrorism charge or something. He monstrously used his powers to mentally influence the president of the United States of America. !! ” Written Redditor trimble197, voicing their disappointment with God’s place at the end of “Wonder Woman 1984.” Some DC fans concurred with them while others pointed out that, at the end of the day, this is a superhero movie we’re talking about. At some point the logic will go beyond the window.

As written by VenoM9078, “It’s a movie about the Goddess living among men and taking a taxi to work instead of flying/running around but THAT is where you draw the line for realism?” “I mean this is a movie where everyone, EVERYONE in the world is denying their wishes, just like humanity doesn’t work like that,” added Brukayne23, who also used the chat. to express their disappointment about the entire third season of the film. Additionally, several other commentators have brought up the status of the Dreamstone in the DCEU, which is something the franchise has yet to reveal nearly two years after the premiere of “Wonder Woman 1984.”

All things considered, “Wonder Woman 1984” went down like one of the weaker DCEU entries for more reasons than one. According to some, Maxwell Lord’s relatively happy ending after causing damage across the Earth is certainly among them.
