Wonder Woman, she's amazing. I love everything that she

Gal Gadot’s words resound like the hymn of a warrior-poet: “Wonder Woman, she’s amazing. I love everything that she represents and everything that she stands for. She’s all about love and compassion and truth and justice and equality, and she’s a whole lot of woman.” In this declaration, she names not merely a figure of fiction, but an eternal archetype—the woman who bears both tenderness and strength, whose hands can both heal and strike, whose spirit carries both mercy and fire. Such an image is not bound to comics nor to film, but belongs to the collective longing of humankind: the longing for a champion who defends the weak, who holds to truth when all else falters, and who stands radiant in the fullness of her being.

The ancients too honored such figures. In Greece, they told of Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, who carried the shield and the olive branch alike. In Egypt, there was Isis, guardian of life and restorer of order. And in distant lands, countless traditions spoke of women who embodied both compassion and justice, who walked as healers, leaders, and protectors. Wonder Woman is born from this same current, this same eternal archetype—the woman who carries the weight of the world and yet does not forsake her heart. Gadot, in speaking of her, recognizes that she is not merely a hero of ink and imagination, but a mirror of the sacred feminine that has always existed.

When Gadot names love and compassion, she recalls that true strength is not found in cruelty but in care. Love is the mightiest weapon, for it softens the hardest hearts and restores what hatred has shattered. Yet she does not leave it there—she speaks too of truth and justice, for love without truth is hollow, and compassion without justice is powerless. Wonder Woman stands, then, at the meeting of all virtues: she is balance embodied. And when Gadot says she is about equality, she voices a cry as old as humanity itself—that no man, no woman, no child should walk in chains, but all should share in dignity.

Consider the story of Sojourner Truth, who stood in the 19th century and declared, “Ain’t I a woman?” Before a crowd that doubted the strength and worth of women—especially women of her race—she spoke with unflinching courage. She embodied the very qualities Gadot names: truth in her words, justice in her cause, love in her vision of freedom, and equality in her demand that all share in human dignity. Like Wonder Woman, she was “a whole lot of woman”—not confined by society’s narrow vision, but rising beyond it to shake the conscience of a nation.

The quote also speaks to a deeper truth: that to be “a whole lot of woman” is not something to be diminished, but to be celebrated. The ancients praised warriors for their valor, sages for their wisdom, and kings for their authority. But what of the woman who holds within her the strength of the warrior, the wisdom of the sage, and the compassion of the mother? Such a figure is not “too much”—she is exactly what the world has always needed. Gadot’s admiration reminds us that femininity and power are not at odds, but are one when lived fully and without fear.

From these reflections, a lesson emerges: we are all called to embody the virtues of Wonder Woman, whether man or woman, young or old. Live with love in your words, so that others may feel seen and healed. Show compassion in your deeds, so that no one walks alone in suffering. Hold fast to truth, even when lies are easier. Fight for justice with courage, and never cease to defend equality, even when the world mocks or resists. This is the path of the hero—not in fantasy, but in daily life.

Therefore, let each who listens take up the mantle. You may not carry a sword or a lasso, but you can wield kindness like a shield, and justice like a flame. When Gadot says Wonder Woman is amazing, she is reminding us that the hero we admire on the screen is a reflection of the hero we must awaken within ourselves. If we live by love, by truth, by justice, and by equality, then we too will become “a whole lot” of what the world needs—warriors of compassion, guardians of dignity, and builders of a brighter age.

Thus, Gal Gadot’s words are not praise for a single character, but a call to remembrance: the heroic woman, radiant and whole, has always been among us. She lives in history, in legend, in fiction—and, if we dare, in us.
