![]() Thewlis is a fine actor, and I understand why they cast him as Sir Patrick-he looks the part of an unassuming British politician circa 1919. The larger problem is casting and depiction. So the reveal that Morgan is Ares isn’t that big of a problem. He can’t directly create wars, but he can nudge mankind towards our worst impulses. Some may see the character as a half-measure, but I see him more as a facilitator. Wouldn’t it just be better if Ludendorff was Ares or if Ares was just a faceless figure who comes down after Diana kills Ludendorff? But the more I thought about it, the more I think it does work in terms of Ares being a constant presence, and his ability to push mankind towards their darkest desires. As for why he doesn’t kill Diana the moment he sees her, he explains that he wants Diana to join him in ridding the world of mankind.Īt first, I bristled a bit at the twist because it felt like a reveal for reveal’s sake, and one that most audiences will see coming a mile away. We see that Morgan is largely an ineffective politician, so he can hide in plain sight, gumming up the works for peace even as he seemingly advocates for it. However, in seeing the finished film, the Sir Patrick Morgan/Ares reveal does make sense.
