%T DIANA CRISIS MASCULINITY IN WONDER WOMAN MOVIE
%X Most superhero films are identical to a man who has a strong masculine
image. However, Wonder Women's character as a super hero has a different social
background compared to other superheroes. Diana grew up on the island of
Themyscira, a homosexual region where only women lived there. When Diana enters
to heterosexual region where men and women live together, it affects Diana’s
masculinity. The crisis of masculinity occurs when Diana meets men in the world of
Steve Trevor. This study aims to analyze Diana's masculinity as a female superhero
figure. This research uses descriptive qualitative type of research in order to analyze
Diana’s masculine character. It is analyzed by the theory of masculine crisis from
Todd W Reeser with variables described by Diana character. These variables are in
the form of practice, myth, and appeared symbols. This research is also supported by
the film theory of Amy Villarejo to get maximum results. Researcher finds that
Diana's masculinity is unstable and eventually becomes hyper. Researcher also finds
the phenomenon of women where she is as the main character has to counter women
stereotypes.
