If so bummer cause I was looking forward to reading it again.

Bit I guess it's opinions and whatnot, and while it was weird to suddenly retcon a bunch of WW stuff it wasn't the greatest story of all time.

Hey Tex.

I hear this one is kind of divisive, and I honestly can't imagine why. Like, the premise alone is pretty damn simple, so what's the problem?

The violence in some parts is a little jarring with the kids' storybook aesthetic, which kind of confused me because I thought it literally was supposed to be a kids' book.

>>92235308
Yeah truth be told the WW rec image has been at times full of desperation.

I mean it included how WW was in The Lego Movie, despite her being in like 90seconds of screentime.

I've been working on a new, more thorough one but have been slacking on finishing it the past few days.

>>92235331
Probably because it is off canon but close enough to usual canon that feels like a innacurately written WW origin rather than a stand alone elseworld. Least that's my guess.
Basically the equivalent to how people bitched about Batman Year One bats not being all that competent or whatever the complaint was for that.

And this is where the problems some Wondie fans have with the story come from.

>>92235569
That doesn't really make any sense, since the general public is already familiar with the clay origin.

Also, am I the only one who thinks this movie won't be a total disaster? Sure, it won't be good, but it at least looks like it'll actually be a Wonder Woman movie, and not a Generic Female Badass movie. All I can think of when watching that last trailer is "You Tried".

File: P00028.jpg (2MB, 1988x3056px) Image search: [Google]

2MB, 1988x3056px

I believe the inspiration from this actually comes from a Perez story also drawn by Thompson, where Diana refuses to learn how to dive in tribute to the gods.

>>92235569
Wouldn't that be more the current Canon's fault?

Since Cyborg was motherbox built I assumed they were trying to be similar to current comic canon to make it less confusing for people who get into the comics via the movies.

Tex, if the movie does well, people will shitpost. If it does poorly people will shitpost.
It's a sad fact that there will always be fools who have more fun shitposting about something being bad, than actually enjoying the thing itself.

>>92235808
Sure, but you have to remember Johns is CCO. He could have advised the suits and Heinberg not to use the New 52 origin (especially the latter since they're buddies), when he probably did the opposite for "muh synergy"

It's true that DC has been pushing her New 52 run pretty hard as their premiere Wonder Woman book, but the clay origin has basically been restored recently in Johns' own Darkseid War and Year One, IIRC.

I dunno, seems like bitching for the sake of bitching.

Like with certain Batman and Superman fans, some hardcore Wonder Woman fans just do not like her being depicted in a negative light, ever.

>>92235983
I'd rather her act like a spoiled child (most children are like that) than some perfect angel who grows up into a bigger perfect angel

2MB, 1988x3056px

But to be fair? She's not just sort of snotty in this, she's kind of a huge dick, and I think the length that Thompson took it to is what bothers some fans more than the concept itself.

The movie is going for a mix of her origins, actually.

Diana will start believing she was created from clay by her mother and given life by Zeus' magic, but in the end Ares will reveal that she's actually the biological daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus, from an affair.

>>92236082
Even more so than the other two fanbases.

I feel Batman fans are much more lenient about Batman negative portrayals.

I like Batman, but i love his iterations with Wonder Woman where Diana tells him to shut the fuck up and he does so like a good little boy.

Diana's always a dick in Elseworlds, though.

I thought you stopped when The Legend of Wonder Woman ended.

Should I except more ?

>>92236152
>I feel Batman fans are much more lenient about Batman negative portrayals.
It's more like Batman has had so many prominent portrayals before many of his fans were even born that it's difficult to even get mad.
The only thing they seem to collectively get mad at is him getting his ass kicked by people not named Joker.

How much pussy gets ate on this island nightly do you think?

>>92235983
>So I'm looking forward to y'all's opinions on Diana being spoiled as a child.
So far, and I think this was likely the intent, it's towing the line between kinda funny and just a bit grating.

But hey, it makes sense. She is the only kid on the island, and the Queen's daughter no less.

>>92236082
See, that's just dumb. Look, I'll only be that guy who gets pissed when Diana is shown to be an asshole, but just because she's a nice gal doesn't mean she doesn't have flaws. Kinda hard to tell a good story when the protagonist is a perfect person who never fucks up.

>>92236239

Right?

I don't know, man. I love the more humanized Batman who's just a normal guy doing this crazy thing that is fighting crime and trying to scare the criminals shitless with a bat costume.

O'Neil's run had Batman having a hard time fighting street hoodlums and it was awesome.

>>92236216
If it weren't for the ending I actually would have been fine with this being canon.

One of the things people complain about with Wonder Woman is her origin lacks the tragedy that Batman and Superman and even most other heroes have. Which I think was the impetus behind the Zeus thing, and of course also the thing with Barry Allen's mom.

And I think this story is an attempt to introduce some conflict and development into her early years.

I'll be continuing up to the movie's premiere and beyond, hopefully.

>>92236152
>>92236279
Also characters not named Batman are usually more harmed by negative portrayals because casuals don't know any better and will inevitably latch onto a shittier one.

I know Superman fans tend to hate Injustice at least due to how popular it is.

>>92236318
Exactly. As much as I love Batgod, I find it far easier to enjoy the story vicariously through E1 Bruce. Especially when he reveals that he doesn't know shit about detective work.

I like Batgod and perfect Supes and Wondie, but there's gotta be some development there.

Morrison's Action Comics and All-Star Superman work like two opposite ends of Clark's life, IMO. And Batman Year One and Morrison's Batman.

>>92236363

Geoff Johns kinda likes Batman, though. He just likes to portray Batman as a hard-ass who's not always right.

Ocarina of Time had cold flames

My only problem with Wonder Woman is that DC in their attempt to make the character more like Superman, they ended up robbing the character much of what made her what she was. She became a Superman clone in almost every aspects, thus giving them another problem: how contrast the two, specially if you're shipping them as a couple? That's why then decided to turn her into basically some sort of Faora/Ursa, by depicting her as this vain and elitist cold warrior. So in all coupled with the power boosts and that characterization Wonder Woman lost much of her humanity.

This story here, though, does the opposite for him. She's shown as powerful, yes, but her character flaws comes much from a human-like characteristic. She's spoiled and thus act out without thinking of the consequences.

Just wanted to bring up something someone said in the last LoWW thread that I didn't notice till later.

They said that the way writers always talk about Diana being a warrior to justify certain pragmatic traits is a bit dumb because she's grown up in literal Paradise with no war, her only exposure being tales told to her by the other Amazons and friendly battles like this one.

>I feel Batman fans are much more lenient about Batman negative portrayals.
That's because Batman doesn't have that many negative portrayals, has more different portrayals that people find acceptable, and Batfags are usually more concerned about Batman winning.

Though I am curious what makes some fans so much angrier than others. Diana and Dick probably have some of the most protective comic fans I've ever seen, and Dickfags are going to town on that newly announced elseworld right now

There's a another good reason for why Diana being depicted as a pragmatic warrior who's willing to get down and dirty in a battleground.

Isn't the whole point of the DC amazons that they secluded themselves from Man's World because they think that men are brutish and vile kind? They should abhor that kind of mentality.

>>92237005
The idea of that new Elseworld...maybe it's not the idea itself, but the timing? And the fact that (x) kills the (Y) universe is something more up Marvel's alley?

>>92236906
>>92236927
I love this moment where anonymosity has revealed to Wonder Woman (even if she hasn't realized it yet) just how easy her sisters have been with her and how in reality they're close to her equal in some ways.

>>92237052
Nah it's the idea in addition to the timing.

Higgins said he started on it like over a year ago and Dickfags wouldn't have liked it then either.
Rmember, Dick was at his most heroic and competent than he's been in a long time in Grayson, yet he wasn't with the batfamily and Barbara so a very vocal bunch basically ruined everything for everybody.

I'd agree that the idea of Dick being the focus certainly works against the book. But in regards to my previous point, Marvel's usually the one with the large catalog of bad ends/evil superheroes/everyone's fucking dead dave/ what-ifs and elseworlds

>>92237052
Dick fans really seem to not like how incompetent he is usually or when he gets to be an asshole, so I'm sure most wouldn't like him not being heroic and looking more like the villain.

>That's because Batman doesn't have that many negative portrayals

Sorry, anon, but that's a load of bullshit. Batman has TONS of negative traits and portrayals. The difference is that he's the type of character where that sort of characterization fits and makes him kinda cool.

Batman's always shown as psychotic, paranoid, distrustful, manipulative, controlling, pragmatic, abusive, vindictive, shady, untrustworthy, pessimistic, egocentric, cold, distant, and so on and so on. Recently he has been shown as myopic and clueless a lot. In team books and events is almost a constant thing that the other heroes distrust and hate him.

The thing is, while all of that is bad that shit fits him. It doesn't make him a bad character. The whole point is that he's a tragic character. So you want to pile shit on him. Show the whole world turning its back to him. Show him brooding.

It's such a common thing that doing a story where he's shown as the big bad has no effect. Brother Eye? That's so Batman! Batman aligning himself with Luthor or Ares? Well, of course he world for some nefarious plan. It has no she-bang.

Heck, there are a lot of Batfags that wank to the head-canon of Batman ending as a depressed old man all alone with nothing but regrets to as a company.

>>92237436
I agree to some level, but not all iterations of Batman are quite so...byronic.

I meant negative as in bad and nobody likes it, but I agree with you. Batman can be a terrible person and a lot of people will like it and that kinda goes under "batman has a lot of acceptable portrayals".

ASBAR and Earth One seem to be the most well known reviled Batmans.

>>92237503

Not all, but ever since the 80's that shit has become the bread and butter of Batman. The 90's and 2000's was the epitome of "Batman's a jerk!" characterization.

Waid himself accepted the blame for Wonder Woman awful portrayal in Kingdom Come and asked forgiveness for it.

He said he didn't knew Wonder Woman back then and thought she was a stupid character for being a warrior that fought for peace because to him that was contradictory. So that's why he used her as a prop on Superman's team to push his character forward.

Seriously, what the hell is up with that? They're a bunch of Mediterranean lesbians who live on an island off the coast of Florida. Trying to force them into being "alien" will never ever work in any context. Knock it off.

Well, okay, they'll never be alien unless my theory about them becoming the sklarians is true, but that's just bullshit headcanon.

>>92238608

I't just DC's way of trying to portray Superman and Wonder Woman as equals in every regard. So she and her people are shown to be as alien as him and the kryptonians, making her and Superman two unique individuals who are all alone and thus relate over that.

But that makes no sense because Superman grew up surrounded by humans and most of the time only started to show his powers as a teen, and Wonder Woman and the amazons are fucking humans with Wonder Woman gaining powers thanks to her gods' blessing.

But even If they left it at that, it'd be fine, but often in an attempt to create contrast between the two they try to portray Diana being full of herself for being different than the lowly humans and Superman being humble about himself because he wish he was only human. That whole "Kal" bullshit grind my gears.

I just hate seeing Diana as someone who has this entitled sense of self worth due to physicality.

Alethea actually bears the most resemblance to a character called Mala, who since Wonder Woman's very first appearance has kind of been her "partner" if you catch my drift.

>>92238448
Thanks for posting, Tex.

I quite enjoyed that. Not gonna lie, I kinda wish it was canon. Maybe have her banishment synch up with Steve's crash landing, and it's perfect.

Again, I really like the idea that Diana's compassion comes from life experience, and a desire to make up for her mistakes. The tragedy here is her own fault, making it much different from the other members of the Trinity. Hell, even the upholding of Amazon values of peace and understanding is intact, since her failure to live up to the Amazon ideal is what caused all this. Good shit.

If I had any criticisms, it's that maybe Diana's a little much of a jerk, but's not a deal breaker. Also, maybe it's Thompson's art style, but some of the violent and tragic scenes come off as morbidly funny at times. Like the one poor gal who got brain damaged. Am I a monster for laughing at that? It was just so fucked up it circled around to being kinda funny.

Right, but the complaint is more that someone raised that way could not develop into someone as kind and selfless as Diana.

It would be mitigated if we got to see more of Diana's development AFTER the turning point, but sadly the story ends then and she goes out into the world. So to some it seems like the implication is that that single event is all she needed to develop into modern Diana, which is unrealistic.

>>92250916
Yeah I suppose I can see that point of view, but personally I thought it was paced reasonably well. It's not just the one fuck up - she decides that she needs to win the favour of the girl who is truly humble, even though she doesn't really understand what that means (see I'LL SHOW YOU HOW FUCKING SELFLESS I AM, above), and is on a path to getting it, which you see when dead blonde starts smiling at the efforts and her kindness to the horses. She's in the middle of that change when a big competition comes along and reminds her what she's all about - the glory. She forgets the lesson half way through learning it and goes back to being her spoiled self, and then gets the lesson shoved in her face when she causes the tragedy and realises its true meaning.

I don't think it's presented particularly well in terms of demonstrating a change over time, but I would still interpret it as a gradual improvement, then a backslide with a consequence terrible and shocking enough to cement her in her selfless ways, terrified that selfish acts would cause another disaster.

All that aside it was a brilliant read and I really enjoyed the story - thanks for sharing
