A new presence in the comic book page-one rogues gallery of Wonder Woman was Cheetah, but Wonder Woman 1984 let her down with a shallow, inconsistent storyline. Kristen Wiig delivered depth at first to Barbara Minerva's transformation from meek academic to ferocious predator, but her descent into villainy didn't have adequate space to develop, being overly simplified to envy and wish-granting powers of the Dreamstone. The climactic fight did not have an emotional impact and made Cheetah a CGI-heavy opponent.
