Why do so many people think she is some kind of angry man-hating feminazi?
>>
>>83950897
Because that's what they remember from the DCAU, where she was portrayed as Miss No Fun Allowed.
>>
>>83950897
Probably because she has no defining personality so you can shoehorn her into any role you please.
>>
>>83950897
well in most storys she starts off as something close to that she just learns to accept her preconceptions are wrong

also that 1 mansplaining line and everything else about that issue for that matter

The one from the old justice league cartoons? She seemed kind of serious/classy but not angry.

>>83950952
She really doesnt have that well defined of a personality. Both batman and superman have a basic mold that most artists adhere to. Wonder woman is just sort of bland and morphs to whatever is needed at that time.

Throwing random people into the street is cool?

>She really doesnt have that well defined of a personality.
Yes she does. We've been over this a hundred times. You say she doesn't have a personality, those who have actually read her books give you a basic outline, you move the gaolposts and make up bullshit reasons why it doesn't count. Rinse, repeat, casuals once again prove what cancerous maggots they are.

Go read a book or kill yourself. I don't care anymore.

And those who have read her books but aren't fanboy know that that basic outline means dick all and she's been characterized in a dickload of ways.

Marston Wonder Woman is about as fucking far as you can get from how she's often written.

Now fuck off, wanker. WW sucks, which is a pity, because she *could* be a good character. But she is not a good character. She sucks, and has sucked for ages.

I wouldn't say she's bland, at least not any blander than Superman, it's just every writer disregards the last and spins her their own way. It's a case of "lol didn't read" on the writer level
>>
>>83950897
because newer writers tend to use that a lot
that and her origin
>>
my understanding of what is going on with Wonder Woman is that she started out as a softcore bondage comic with femdom elements. When the writer left the title he mad DC's ownership of Wonder Woman predicated on them continuing to make comics of her. like most golden age character's her characterization wasn't super deep which means that each author has been given a blank check to do whatever they want with her. It is a shame that writers often choose to do stupid things with her but unfortunately that is sort of what happens.
>>
Y'know, the pity of it is, it wouldn't even be hard to write Wonder Woman as an interesting character. Just take a few cues from how fucked up Marston was as a person.

Have her be a loving mistress to the world. Not, like, in an idealistic sense-- In a straight up BDSM one. Have her struggle with the notions of domination, magically binding contracts, and other concepts of power exchange up to and including willing ownership of people in western societies based upon liberty. Have her cause adoration everywhere she goes for all the wrong reasons. Have her understand that love means really fucking up your lover sometimes, and all the angles on that.

Then go back to having her love the whole damn world. Her love should be eldritch and fucking horrifying, in the end-- But still warm, and great, and wonderful.

Warrior woman that acts as a kind protector to the world. Nothing extensive, nothing unique , just a clean, stupidity-free take on a woman who enjoys challenge/fights from worthy opponents, tries to avoid combat when not necessary though and wants to help people live more peacefully and with understanding of each other.


IMO fixing Wondy requires fixing the amazons. Because the way they're usually handled, they act as just a device for us to re-read the age-old wondy plot of "you're working with men, you're not one of us" "nu-uh" "yuh-uh" again and again.

So what we do is we de-anti-menify the amazons.

Amazons are ageless, powerful warrior women that are tasked by the gods to protect the world.
They can only give birth to women.
They used to mate by venturing to the world of humans, searching for good mates, seducing them in an one-night-stand, then return home pregnant. -think more lewd nymph style, than azz's amazon rape-. However , they can fall in love and invite someone to live over with them on the island.

This is considered a very noble and sacrificial act from the amazon's behalf because both mother and daughter would have to see a husband/father they love and care for age and die. Househusbandos are buried together with the rest of the amazons.

I also have a subplot in mind that'd allow them to transition from only nymph-like seducing to inviting special people over too. Not sure if there's necessary to be two phases though, it could be both ways from start.

That, then amazons gradually were less and less involved as time went on, world of humans forgot them, some would occasionally venture and help people alone, like rescuing a soldier from a trench , etc, etc. At some point, Diana got heavily involved with fighting a big thread, JL noticed her, she was intrigued, wanted to stay and reestablish connection between human world and amazons, yada yada.

Basically, combat enjoying noble protector that wants to spread peace, with no bad baggage.

Yeah, remember that episode of Justice League where a virus causes all men on Earth to become sick and near death.

When the world is inherited by women, Diana actually celebrates and tells Hawkgirl that the site is beautiful.

Doesn't get more psychotically man-hating than that.

I should've linked to the poster directly.

There's nothing wrong with a BDSM relationship, but the description that anon gives sounds horrific and would be read as horrific. Its something you can't really apply on a mass scale without her coming off as a villain, if a well meaning one.
>>
Can we just admit something?

Wonder Woman doesn't really have a functionality in the JL.

Supes is the strong guy who punches.
Flash is the incredibly-reality-warpingly-fast guy.
Bats is the smart guy.
MM can read minds -so no need for the lasso- and is a shapeshifting, potentially intangible powerhouse.
Cyborg -which I hate- is the techie guy.

What unique element does wondy bring besides fanservice? There's nothing she does that someone else doesn't do a lot better.

True, that is true for many JLers, but none with such a core/prominent role as her. She's supposed to be part of the "trinity" and she's obsolete.
>>
>>83952252
Unbreakable rope for tying.
>>
>>83951246
Honestly yeah.

If you ask someone who never read a comic what so ever what Batman or Superman's defining personality traits are how come up with something about how he's tortured or idealistic. At best she gets 'plucky lass'

Wonder woman is just sort of a 'lesser superman' in both power set and personality traits. she can fly but not really, she's bullet-proof but only kinda, she's doesn't kill people, but it's not she doesn't treat it as that big a deal or anything

I don't know, what personality traits left over from from Linda Carter? That's probably the most well known Incarnation.

>>83952252
>What unique element does wondy bring

Diversity and a woman's perspective.

>>83952252
the JLA's never been the most balanced team in the world. Wondy's powers don't have to complement the team because the JLA is about all of your favorite superheroes hanging out in a clubhouse on the moon and taking on threats that they can't handle alone.

as long as her personality is fun and creates stories, her overlapping a little isn't the end of the world.
>>
>>83952252
You could probably argue her diplomatic prowess. A negotiator role
>>
>>83952252
>Wonder Woman doesn't really have a functionality in the JL.

Which is funny, because Silver Age JLA had a rule about "no power duplications". Not an editorial rule, but a rule from the actual team in the stories.

It's why Hawkwoman couldn't join the team, because she'd be a duplicate of Hawkman.

Wonder Woman was always allowed to be on the team, though, despite the fact that they never explained why her powers weren't considered duplicates of Superman's (at the time she just had super strength, no flight).

There's an analog for her in Mantra and Ultraforce called "Topaz" who literally sees men as inferior beings that should have been killed off somewhere down the evolutionary line. She does later come to respect Hardcase as an equal, but her outlook really doesn't change all that much

Both Batman and Superman have a range of personalities. They can be as dark as BvS or as light as the Superfriends. The same applies to Wonder Woman.

That's how it works when you're a fictional character, adapted and rebooted over 75 years.

>>83952112
there was nothing wrong with her snaping that one neck it was everything after that thats a problem

>>83952447
Yeah, they can vary in personality and complete subversions exist. But moder batman is almost always the quiet, brooding knight and superman is a farm raised boy with midwestern values.
>>
>>83952145
ok yeah i can kinda see where your coming from with that
>>
Wondy's real problem is that she doesn't have any world famous go-to storylines/arcs that even casuals know by name and immediately point to as "classics".

Batman's got Year One and Killing Joke and Dark Knight Returns and on and on. Even Superman has his Man of Steel by Byrne or For the Man WHo Has Everything or Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow or All Star, etc.

But what does the third wheel of the Trinity have?

Any storyline or arc you point to is not going to ring a bell with a casual. You can say "the George Perez reboot" but no one is going to know the beats of that by heart, not like they would For the Man Who Has Everything or Killing Joke.

Wondy has always been the least important member of the Trinity. Hell, the only reason there's a "trinity" is because Batman, Superman and WW comics were the only ones being publish by National between the end of the Golden Age bubble burst and the beginning of the Silver Age revival.
>>
>>83952252
Actually I always felt Batman is the one who sticks out the most and doesn't serve a real purpose. Wondy is strong and fast. And when your team is constantly going up against global & alien threats you need someone who can hold their own. If the only "muscle" your group is relying on is someone like Superman then you're screwed as soon as some big baddie takes him out. That's why you need other characters like Martian Manhunter & Wonder Woman to help keep your team from getting physically overwhelmed.

Batman, on the other hand, is more of a liability who doesn't bring anything to the table.

He doesn't really work as the "smart guy" when you have other smart characters like Supes and Flash and Cyborg on the team. Also, because Flash and Cyborg are there, it's not like Bats brings a human perspective to the team.

If you want to argue that any character is obsolete, it's Batman. At least the other human characters doesn't need babysitting or plot armor to help them out once there's an enemy to face.
>>
>>83952369
You got to admit that that's a really really dumb rule for them to have but.
>>
>>83952548
Batman is the team strategist. Sure barry is smart, but that doesnt mean he has a mind/brain for tactics.
>>
>>83952553
>You got to admit that that's a really really dumb rule for them to have but.

It was. It got overturned in the Bronze Age.

I think the worst example was having Batman and Green Arrow on the team at the same time. They're both powerless guys who know karate and drive fancy cars. Batman's probably every bit the marksman as Ollie. They really were duplicates of each other in terms of "powers".

Arrow Cave is a stupid name. Arrows don't live in caves.

>Batman is the team strategist
And Wondy is a trained warrior who is very skilled in the arts and strategy of war. If the only thing Batman is good for is him being a "strategist" then there's a stronger/less frail character on the team who can take his place.
>>
>>83952700
Would rather it be called the Quiver?
>>
>>83952711
Wondy is jack of all trades. She is not as strong as superman. Not as fast as the flash, and definitely not as good a strategist as bats. Jack of all trades are good at complementing the overall team, but you dont want them for specific roles.
>>
>>83952735
That....is actually better.
>>
Because lacking good PR, a successful cartoon of her own at the time when that would've been far more successful, or a story that people look at and think of it as definitive or iconic - a single graphic novel that they can go "Yeah, that's her" (and WW:EO is way too recent to count) - people tend to take a brief glance at the Amazons, go "feminazi bitches", and call it good.

This isn't helped by Elseworlds stories which also do this constantly, because they can't think of anything else for Wonder Woman,a nd especially the Amazons, to do.

Superman and Batman got cartoons, Wonder Woman got the Lynda Carter show, Superfriends, and getting to be literally "We don't know what to do with her" according to the JL/U team, as especially evidenced in that piggy episode that ended up being just about fucking Batman again.

Visibility problems and people making assumptions from them. People see "all women island" and get pissed off, instead of wondering why women would want to go live on an island together.

Then why not drop Batman and make her the team strategist? She's not frail like Batman and can hold her own in a fight. Why is Batman kept around when he's just a liability to the team? And since Cyborg's been brought on, Batman isn't even the tech guy anymore. He serves no purpose that can't be done by another member of the team.
>>
>>83952865
Like i said. Jack of all trades. Batman is much better at tactics and strategy, so why try to force ww to take on that role? It is silly. She is good at a lot of things, but ultimately great at nothing.

And yet Batman is still better than them in any of those given skills.

They must not have trained very hard in those previous lives.

>And yet Batman is still better than them in any of those given skills.They must not have trained very hard in those previous lives.

Yeah, Batman's is canonically referred to as the best hand to hand fighter in the DCU (he's beaten Lady Shiva down a dozen times, and she was considered the best, so that makes him better). And all he did was train around the globe for 10-15 years.

Kinda shows how incompetent the Hawks are. Entire lifetimes of skills and training at their fingertips and they don't even rate.
>>
>>83953782
>Kinda shows how incompetent the Hawks are.

On topic, it shows the incompetence of WW.

She was trained from BIRTH to be a warrior and presumably has at least 10 years or more on Bruce when it comes to studying.

If he can still beat her in hand to hand then she's pretty well terrible.
>>
>>83953721
>And yet Batman is still better than them in any of those given skills.

Not the anon you're replying to, but that doesn't mean much. Batman is often given plot armor by comic writers. So to say Batman is better or the best at whatever is ultimately meaningless. He's Batman so OF COURSE he's better. Because reasons.

Batman can't win against Wonder Woman without planman hacks, like putting her into a simulation where she fights an unbeatable opponent.

But he can't beat her in hand to hand, just like he can't beat Superman in hand to hand.

>just like he can't beat Superman in hand to hand.

Batman beat him hand to hand in Hush. He had a kryptonite ring on, but that just evened the playing field.

Supes doesn't actually know how to fight, he just uses his powers to brute force his way through everything. Take those away and he doesn't know how to throw a punch or anything.
>>

"techie guy" and "smart guy" overlap and you didn't even bother with Aquaman and Green Lantern.

Yeah Wonder Woman kick his arse all the time in her own comics so it's best to think of Batman as simply punching above his weight.

I'll give you that, but Bats can't beat WW's skill when it comes to hand to hand. Or at least, he shouldn't be able to. However, it really depends on the the writer. A writer who's really into batwank isn't going to care and make Batman win every time for everything.

Because Kryptonians didn't do things in halves, they had near-immortality and had pretty much completed science. That, combined with being stuck on their homeworld, meant that they had the unique position on 'perfecting perfection'.

A man might spend centuries using math and science to figure out the perfect way to punch from a certain angle for maximum output. They used science, medical technology, and physics to create the best martial arts ever.

If you have read/watched the Dune series, it is kind of like that ideology. Training the mind and body to do things we can't fully comprehend because they have used science and technology to unlock the optimum potential actions.

>>83961766
The video was actually awesome, it shows realistic ways to non-lethally take down the rest of his team and even himself. I would have this a thousand times over "Mysterious bat-spray/plot-armor". Batman in this video shows he has a great idea on how to take down everyone, but he isn't sure if they will work.

In most Bat God comics he just has bullshit that lets him stomp on other heroes. Like that one time he created miniature red stars and crafted them into a gauntlet for power armor so he could beat Superman in a fight.
>>
>>83963571
Kryptonians perfected martial arts to the point that they used math to figure out the best points of impact, the best way to do things.

The reason Kryptonian MA is strong is because it takes everything that a human martial art does and refines it by using science, physics, biology, and medical knowledge to remove the excess, the inefficient designs, and improve things.

I am not saying that Kryptonian MA is the best ever, Superman would lose to Karate Kid or Batman in a pure skill fight, but it IS a very strong, very advanced fighting style. Humans have been working on martial arts for centuries, but a team of Kryptonians in a lab probably worked on Kryptonian MA for a thousand years or some shit because what else are they going to do? There is literally nothing to do except hobbies because they live in a post scarcity society that is unable to leave its single planet. They don't even have sex or need to breed/raise children because even that is automated.
>>
>>83963912
Given enough time, that's where we're headed. MMA has been great for martial arts as a whole as it has necessitated a more scientific approach. The first Pride tournament had sumotori, ninja, capoeiristas and countless other things. Now, they do not. Those things are all fun, but it's good to see what works being refined in terms of pure utility. Homogeneity is likely to be the result to a certain extent, and Chinese animal styles are a lot of fun to watch, but still. One step closer to Krypton.
Strike styles are for fags, man-hug master race

You must be fairly new to Wonder Woman if you think Amazons Attack had any influence on how people perceive her or that it started with Azzarello

It goes way back, and Kingdom Come could be a turning point, but it also precedes that. It was honestly a progression from the Perez' run. She became more violent after Crisis and then people started to take her as a violent type over the years.

All you people complaining about overlapping skills or powers in Justice League are retarded.

For one, if you can fly, that negates a lot of movement used to transfer surface grip into forward momentum.
For another:
If you move with 20x the force, you have less friction to work with. Which changes how momentum and stance looks.

I am agreeing that raw power != good martials arts
But there is a differene between a human moving in a way to generate 3000N of force, and a superhuman moving to generate a hundredfold more.

WW is kind of a jack-of-all-trades. Not as strong/powerful as the others but certainly stronger than Batman and probably Cyborg as well.

Aquaman is actually fairly strong on land himself, being about as strong as Golden Age Superman. Plus he has resources being the king of Atlantis, meaning he has an army at his disposal. I wish some writer would take advantage of that.
