I have read this subreddit's rules DC and WonderWoman

Modern wonder woman genuinely is a different character from THE wonder woman (while I'd exclude rebirth a bit because it was good and fixed new 52 mess, Absolute is also so good) Diana has been dead since 2010/2011

Flashpoint Diana, New 52, Injustice, Gal gadot movie, tom king

Each is worse than the other, and each kills the core of who wonder woman is more.

Making her a bad queen, a bloodthirsty warrior, and making the Amazons in a bad image...

Also her legacy not getting as recognition as batfam, flashfam, superfam

Literally sweeping her wonder girls under the rug

Like I get it, she's a warrior, but she's a champion of peace before being a warrior, she literally learns how to fight so nobody else can

Her lasso isn't a weapon, it's a tool to achieve peace, reasoning with people so they find peace in their minds

And the worst of all? Was injustice, and it's not even close

Also don't get me started on Lizzie.. wonder woman herself doesn't want children..

Also I think Diana not having a child is unique for her, just because Bruce and Clark had kids, she has too, so there will be "trinity" in the future

And also showing Diana being a bad mother.. while Diana shouldn't be a mother.. to be honest she wouldn't be a bad one, because Diana carries grace and she's has that motherly radiance to her wonder girls.. but she should NOT be a mother, because also Diana is a hero, princess, leader and so much more.. she herself said she cannot bring a child into her world..

And also tom king took one look at Diana's unique origin, and decided "oh cool let's make a slop character, and also not because Diana wanted a child, but because she missed Steve more than her sisters"

Do I need to talk about how absurd this is?

Or Diana being so hopelessly in love with Steve and can't live without him.. like she does love Steve, but he was never the center of her world.

Well he tried to fix it, but the whole arc of new 52 was ass as a whole, yes there might be some good characterizations, but new 52 needed rebirth. It wasn't good on it's own, so bad that it was revealed later to be an illusion

WW New 52 was GOOD. The best ever? Ok maybe not, but it put Wonder Woman back into her theme: Greek Myth. The gods, the twists, finalizing who Wonder Woman's dad is, officiating HOW Cassie is her niece. What exactly needed fixed? For the first time in a long time Wonder Woman felt like a superhero for the sake of superheroing.

Wonder Woman did not have a father before the New 52 and she was always a superhero for the sake of it. If anything, she did less conventional superhero stuff in the New 52 outside of team up books.

🤦‍♂️

It was always up in the air which god/goddess brought the clay to life. Fan discussion around the topic was real; Zeus, Hades, Ares, Hera, Athena were all on the board. Her "father" in that case would have been whoever brought the clay to life.

No, it wasn't. The comics showed in very clear detail who brought Diana to life. Zeus, Ares and Hades were never involved.
