Still made you post :O

Something else that annoys me about this run is the lack of Wonder Rogues. Yes, it's an aggressively prevalent meme that Diana has shitty rogues, but fuck you, I like them.

Of course, the most common criticism of them seems to be that they are, in fact, super villains, and thus are somehow out of place. Yeah.

People who say they suck and therefore shouldn't be used are lazy, uncreative sods who hopefully will never write a comic book in their lives. Even if they did suck, that's no excuse for not wanting to use them. Wally writers like Waid shat on the Rogues for years and yet Johns completely revitalized them

>>92693016
A good writer could take a sucky rogue and reimagine them in a way that they have staying power. Just look at fucking Ocean Master, dude's got pathos and a code of honor now.

Upon this re-reading, I think this run really picks up during this volume.

By far the worst thing in the run are the Amazons. Everything else is pretty fair, outside of some OOC moments for Diana, which Byrne and Luke and even Rucka had a few moments of. And even Perez with Diana's bizarre wetness for Superman.

And most of the OOC moments are early in the run, as it was with Byrne as well.

All in all, it reminds me of Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye. Even though it's not entirely in character and basically disregard's their entire history, it's an enjoyable read with really nice distinct art.

And like with Hawkeye, I think the art/storytelling is far better than the actual writing and probably wouldn't be as enjoyable without it, as the fill-in issues are evidence of.

He probably would have worked if he were presented more as a foil to Diana but when you have Diana being only slightly less brutal than this sometimes it doesn't work.

I've heard Orion is fairly OOC here as well but in truth I'm not as well read on Fourth World as I'd like to be so I'm not entirely sure.

He does feel a bit off compared to how I know him.

I think Aleka was supposed to be Nu52 Artemis, with a name change because the goddess Artemis was actually a main character.

That's quite possible. I was gonna comment on the fact that they're very similar in appearance and character.

Nu52 set out to reboot the New Gods as well, mainly via Highfather still being Izaya the Warrior instead of Izaya the hippie guru.

She's kinda like Circe in terms of charisma and keikakus but a little more unhinged, and a little more of taking a back seat to fuck with other peoples' plans.

I like that one of the few things Rucka seems to be keeping is that Ares and the Amazons don't have an outright adversarial relationship.

Like yes, I get it goes against Marston, but I feel like it combines mythological fidelity with an interesting bit of nuance as well.

I'm one who thinks Diana would actually be OK with people... "appreciating" her body, so long as they're not assholes about it.

She does have the beauty of Aphrodite, after all.

But yeah she'd probably lose her cool at this.

>>92698534
>>92698557
The art really is the best thing about this run. The whole sequence from the moment the knife is out to the handover is amazingly threatening from Ares. I particularly like the page-over from seeing both pairs of feet to NOT seeing Ares' eyes.

>>92693296
I'm not sure how people can read this and not see that Diana changed Ares much more than he changed her.

I think Cassandra was intented to sort of be the Nu52 version of Silver Swan, but it was kind of halfassed?

>>92698645
>Orion is a dudebro

>>92698645
No yeah I agree that Diana should be as body-positive and sex-positive as you can get, but the difference is that she's not being treated with respect right now.

>>92693614
On the one hand, seven seems too low for a hundred years with Zeus, on the other, I guess he did have SOME standards in the myths.

One kind of stupid thing I still like is when Diana's weapons have her symbols and themes on them, the best being her giant fuckoff axe shaped like a golden double-W.

It would have been an interesting take if Diana got her blessings from the gods one by one as she helped them throughout the arc, like here she'd get strength from Demeter.

But instead just Zeus

I was starting to get tempted to see the movie after getting invited to the fan screening, but after hearing confirmation that Zeus is indeed her dad in the movie I'm reminded of why I didn't wanna go in the first place.

I really do think now that it'll end up being good but my fantard-ism will ruin it for me.

I honestly would 110% have seen it if it had a live action depiction of the beginning of Perez's first issue with the Amazon's origin and the Heracles rape.

I suppose the movie would have gotten trashed for having rape in it though, gotta keep them critics happy.
