Saying that Wonder Woman is a very important movie for female representation in pop culture is undeniable. She is the first female superhero to get her own movie in more than a decade after all. Because of this, young girls throughout the world have been looking at the character with a very special kind of reverence, and a young lady experienced something truly wonderful while at SDCC this weekend. Behold:

As she met Gadot, the girl started crying, and the actress said to her: “Now we are friends so there’s no reason to cry anymore. We are together!”
Naturally, the Internet went crazy over the footage, and the mother wrote a tweet explaining how special that moment was for her daughter:
That was my daughter. She was so happy to meet her that she was tearing up. Gal was so sweet to her. Memories of a lifetime!
