    "SHE'S so strong," the little girl seated next to me at a Brooklyn screening of Wonder Woman kept repeating to her mother, occasionally shielding her eyes.

    It was the first fight scene of the movie, and I was trying not to sob.

    Half an hour earlier, I'd been contemplating skipping the film. I'd never read the comics. I wasn't a superfan. The last action movie I saw was Batman, the remake before the remake, in my parents' living room with my younger brothers, sometime in the mid to late 1990s.
