Mera and Wonder Woman

                                                                               

In honor of the recent reveal of Mera's look in the DCEU, I thought that, even though I'm impressed, I would post my criticisms on the casting of not only Aquaman's main squeeze, but Wonder Woman as well, as they happen to be related.
                                                                                   

                      Not the characters, of course, but my opinions on who should portray them.
                                                                             

                                                                Alright, so Gal Gadot,...
                                                                               

...and Amber Heard. Both are VERY beautiful actresses, but both have been accused of just being pretty faces. I can at least say that I've seen some acting talent in Heard before, but as for Gadot, I've really only seen her in Batman v. Superman, and unfortunately, I wasn't much more impressed with her performance than I was with the rest of the movie.
                                                                                

To me, Gadot was a bit too dull and frankly... not really built like the Amazon princess. I know... impossible standards, but I think there are other actresses out there that are more talented, look the part, and fill out Wonder Woman's iconic outfit-... I mean, fill her boots, so to speak...
                                                                           

...Namely, Alexandra Daddario. Okay, I do have a massive crush on her, but objectively speaking...
                                                                             

   ...she looks just friggin' like her! I mean, this is fan art, but it should've been a reality!
                                                                              

She can be dramatic, lighthearted, strong, sexy, and she doesn't have an Israeli accent that she refuses to change to portray the most iconic female symbol of America in comics *cough*(Gadot!) *cough*. This is a no-brainer!
                                                                      

Plus, the woman doesn't age! I think she really might be an Amazonian! Either way, I think she's underrated and she deserves a role like this.
                                                                              

Oh, and one more thing. In this perfect fantasy DCEU of mine in which Matt Bomer plays Superman, we at least know that he and Alexandra have already worked together well on White Collar... Just sayin'...
                                                                           

As for Gadot? Well, I don't think that she has NO place in the DCEU. Ironically, I would've thought she would've been better as Mera than as Wonder Woman.
                                                                              

She's exotic, as I think Mera should be, she's beautiful, and if she was decent enough as Wonder Woman, then she could handle playing Mera who is usually depicted as a very brutal heroin.
                                                                                 

Well then, where does that leave Amber Heard? Well, to tie up all loose ends, I think there's another DC heroin that she would be perfect for...
                                                                               

...None other than Black Canary. That's right. Green Arrow's main squeeze instead of Aquaman's. Tell me you don't see a resemblance...
