Let's face it, who wants to be a Disney princess when you can be a trailblazing superhero? After all, life isn't just about dashing princes and singing birds, you know.
Anyway, the latest Wonder Woman is already unique among movies as the first female-led superhero film since Marvel kickstarted the superhero boom with Iron Man, without the need to turn the woman into a damsel in distress (we're looking at you, Lois Lane) or some kind of warped stereotype like Harley Quinn's "ultimate dream" of being a housewife.
So it's no surprise that the film has managed to score the highest ever preview night box office for a movie directed by a woman and already made over $250 million less than a week after release, with some countries across Europe still yet to begin screenings.
And Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot, says she was "born to play" a female superhero that girls everywhere can look up to.
Speaking to The Mirror, she said: "I feel I was born to play Wonder Woman. Boys have always had a figure to look up to, whether it's Superman, Batman or Spider-Man.
"For girls, it was always the princess being saved. Now we have Wonder Woman—she's fearless, proactive, she believes in herself and she believes she can do everything. That's a true woman for me."
Gadot stars as Diana, Princess of the Amazons, who leaves her home after pilot Steve Trevor (oh hi, Chris Pine) crashes onto the Amazons' island of Themyscira and reveals that there's a war going on in the human world.
Wonder Woman is in cinemas now.
