Bugenhagen
ParticipantThis is awesome. She is serious about some costumes! I’m quickly being reminded why I never got into WW. While it wasn’t her costume, these pages go over the insane and nigh impregnable continuity and rough choices that follow the character
ParticipantWell now I know why Aleesha got those giant breasts put in. Seems she wanted to get back to normal after lowering that body fat.
ParticipantThick n’ delicious. I’m down to play.
ParticipantI actually caught the full episode during Marvel’s SXSW announcement. It’s awesome. Like Ferris Bueller with super powers. Yeah, there are a couple of corny spots, bit it more than makes up for it with attitude, banter, and Black Nick Fury
ParticipantI’m always coming to the party late.

ParticipantI love Serena Williams and believes she has the top spot in terms of blending amazon qualities, muscularity, femininity, and mainstream acceptance. So when things like this happen I get excited upset and baffled all rolled into one…
Exsetffled
ParticipantI’m sure i’m late, but you guys see this costume yet?

ParticipantYeah… Tall and that’s about it. This guy’s trying to optimistic though… to a point

I agree with Bugenhagen’s points about the WW character. Also, she doesnt really provide JL with any interesting and complimentary powers — for all intensive purposes she’s just a mini-Superman. And one thing they MUST do with WW sooner or later is update her costume — it is the tackiest, cheesiest and least cool costume in the entire DC Universe.
They totally did update her costume! Then the internet shit itself, so I doubt we’ll see her in anything other than her usual duds for quite some time.
Women feel incredibly proprietary about the Wonder Woman character even though they don’t read the comics or know the character. That’s why doing anything big with her is so damn difficult. Even the New Young Justice passed on a Wonder Woman analogue for their opening episodes. We got Miss Martian’s invisible jet instead. Lol
A better idea would be for a Wonder Girl tv show with a prominently featured Wonder Woman and Donna Troy. Play up the teen angle, and understand that when WW gets involved outside of her mentorship role that the ass is gonna get beat!

So Ally McBeal with super powers?
Wow… no thank you!
Actually… I think this is Power Girl’s schtick. I’d really like to see a PG show based around the first 12 issues of her comic from a few years back.
Either way, I don’t think we should get too bent out of shape on this yet. Wonder Woman has the top three most unrelatable origin out of DC’s big 7. Only Aquaman comes close.
An island of ageless amazons that haven’t encountered men in 1000 years and have a princess made out of clay is a pretty hard sell. Especially when you have to get her to “Man’s World” somehow and fighting super villains. Then there is that entire awkward “fish out of water” period where she doesn’t understand things like telephones and computers, but she can take on scientist bad guys right out of the gate.
Plus, is she supposed to have powers or not? Half the time she’s smacking Superman caliber guys around with her bare hands, the other half she’s using a sword and getting sliced and diced by normal weapons. Do ALL amazons share her powers? Etc… It’s a bit confusing.
Sometimes I feel that WW is important because they say she’s important.
I’d almost like to see a more Xena-esque take on her. Let her do the thing in the world of Gods. Let her be a character that knows her surroundings and understands the value of sisterhood without having her be a complete foreigner in our high tech world. We have Martian Manhunter for that… Who’d have a kick ass live TV show.
