actor merging with their story, similar to Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman is Gal Gadot." She also praised Gadot's interpretation of Wonder Woman as the one in which Gadot "absolutely nails the character's unwaveringly positive outlook on life. She's a force of nature who believes in the greater good; her conviction that she's meant to save the world is stronger than her bullet-deflecting shield. She's genuine, she's fun, she's the warm source of energy at the heart of the movie." However, there was some backlash in some Arab countries such as Lebanon and Qatar, which banned Wonder Woman due to Gadot's Israeli citizenship. Other countries such as Tunisia and Algeria saw the film pulled out of festivals due to Gadot's citizenship and military service. Jordan also reportedly considered a ban, but relented as there was no legal precedent for it. In the theatrical release of Justice League, one of the biggest criticisms of the film was the scaling back of Wonder Woman's role and her alleged objectification by the film's creators, especially during the film's reshoots. In addition, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins lambasted Diana's portrayal in the theatrical cut, saying that it contradicted with the character's portrayal in her film and Zack Snyder's version of Justice League. Wonder Woman's arc and depiction in Zack Snyder's Justice League received better reviews. In Wonder Woman 1984, Gadot once again received praise for her performance as Wonder Woman, though the film received mixed reviews. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle praised Gadot, saying, "Her performance here has dignity and earned emotion" and called her the best thing about the film and "She was the best thing in the first installment, too, but that was an excellent movie. This one isn't." In addition, Diana's decision to have sex with Steve Trevor, who was actually possessing another man's body, was subject to controversy. Accolades Gadot has received numerous nominations and awards for her portrayal of Diana Prince.
