The article from Nerdist reports that Lynda Carter, the iconic actress who played Wonder Woman in the 1970s TV series, has publicly supported Sabrina Carpenter's choice to portray a blonde Wonder Woman for Halloween. Carpenter's costume was modeled after Carter's classic outfit, but some online fans criticized her for being a "non-canon 'blonde Wonder Woman'"[1][2].

In response to this, Lynda Carter posted on X, reminding everyone that "Wonder Woman is within all of us, and sometimes, she has blonde hair like @SabrinaAnnLynn!"[1]. The article further elaborates that while Princess Diana, the most well-known iteration, is dark-haired, there are indeed other canonical blonde versions of Wonder Woman in DC Comics. Examples include Cheetah temporarily becoming Wonder Woman in the "Super Friends" cartoon, Cassie Sandsmark (the second Wonder Girl) becoming a blonde Wonder Woman in a future timeline, and Artemis, a "redhead/strawberry blonde" Amazon, who took over as Wonder Woman in the 1990s[1].

The article argues that watching the original Universal Monster Movies significantly enhances the appreciation for Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein." The author, who initially loved "Young Frankenstein" but hadn't seen its inspirations, discovered a deeper understanding of Brooks' filmmaking choices, humor, and meticulous recreation of the classic horror aesthetic after watching films like "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein." The piece emphasizes that while "Young Frankenstein" stands alone as a great film, experiencing the source material reveals the full extent of Brooks' homage and comedic genius.
