I hope those days a long gone!
This article was written four years ago! I haven’t read DC Comics in a long time, but I could see their Nu52 run was just another headache.
1. We get another story where Diana has to fight the Greek Gods, instead of facing modern threats that today’s women face.
2. We see the realization of the elitist, dynastic belief that Superman should have Wonder Woman, although the two characters were created separately. (Prince Charles, Princess Diana…don’t forget Camille. Camille is real, fairytale lovers.)
3. They deconstruct the Amazons again. Springfield underwent more narrative flexibility than this, and the Simpsons are more cartoony!
I’d like to see independent tales of Paradise Island. Maybe they’ll reveal it’s not so isolated by having connections with other pocket dimensions.
As good as the animation is, I still see those fights more pandering to the fighting fetish fans rather tan “empowering” . I said it before; WW was a fetishist creation, and it’s not that she can’t evolve from that, it’s that the superhero industry doesn’t want to take that step. She could be a more complex character, but not that much:” A woman in a very small one piece badly masqueraded as a grecorroman armor. She’s fit, beautiful and she fights. A lot.” You can’t build up that too much.
It sounds pedantic, I know, but let’s not waste our hopes in the character becoming much more that it can be…let’s not forget that when she was made member of the Justice League/Battallion/Group/Whatever, her job was as a secretary:
