This Interaction With Gal Gadot And Comic Con Fan Is Everything
This is why Wonder Woman matters.
Gal Gadot had a heartwarming moment with a little girl, who was dressed as Wonder Woman.
The young girl was in line to get her autograph and she began crying because she was so excited and overwhelmed at meeting her idol.
Gal, of course, had the best response to her:
“There’s no reason to cry anymore, right? We’re together!”

Ezra Miller, who plays The Flash in DC’s upcoming movie Justice Leauge, chimed in when Gal told her to smile and said “You’re a warrior!… I see it!”

Representation is everything.
