Morrison's Earth One.
>>
azz's run

Maybe originally. Old WW had weaknesses, flaws and ideas that made her relatable.

Modern WW is a psycho bitch who on several occasions has been noted to have;

Strength equal to Superman
Speed equal to Flash
Fighting prowess beyond Batman's
Can Fly
No weakness besides 'getting tired'

People complain that Supes is too OP, yet completely ignore how broken WW is.
>>
>>88510797
Yeah but she's allowed to be Op because she's a woman, you sexist prick.
>>
>>88510412
Is this a rec thread in disguise? Because you could just go read some WW material and decide for yourself. But I guess you prefer looking like an ignorant moron.

Seriously, this like if I made a Firestorm thread ostensibly just to trash talk him. The fuck, anon?

Most of the time after Crisis. The only bad WW run was Finchs'.

Azzerelos run

I really like that run. The characters actually felt like characters, and they acted believable within the bounds of the characters they established.

What is her weakness?

Perez
Messner-Loebs
Jimenez
Simonson
Rucka
Azzarello

There's no such thing as an "OP" character, it's not a fucking video game.

Get out.

Also, Strazynski's run was fine. Unremarkable, but fine.

>>88511684
Haven't read Simonson's run. What was it about?
>>
>>88512566
1. I will never understand /co/'s retarded obsession with WML
2. I indicated that it was his issues with Deodato, which are the worst of his run.

She was awful in it. Look at that characterization. All it does is paint her as violent, cold, thickheaded and uncompromising, and set the stage for her to later be BTFO by Batman.

Animated suits
>>
>>88511851
>Fear
Having fear makes you not fit to be a Green Lantern. The requirements are literally being able to overcome fear. So no, that's not their weakness.

Their weakness is their rings running out of juice.

WW is support character to Batman and Superman, deal with it. She is fucking boring solo. She can only be good while interacting with other heroes.

look at pic above your post, mate. The Hiketeia is interesting only because there is Bruce. And all this shit happened after Kelly's JLA and they still love/like each other, tension and shit
>>
>>88521537
hiketeia is not interesting
>>
>>88521550
More interesting than any WW story though.
>>
>>88521537
It's interesting before he shows up. I think the bigger issue is that her supporting cast is garbage. He's only really important to that story as someone who it's a big deal for Wonder Woman to say no to.

The best thing that could happen to her comic is for her to get some interesting side characters added in. She's most interesting in stories with Supes and Batman because they give a supporting cast that isn't bland and ill-defined.
>>
>>88521615
That's what i'm talking about. And I don't think she'll get any good suporting characters soon. So, I'd continue to wait for next Trinity

It's wacky fun. There's nothing bad about it.

I know people shit on Az for throwing out everything from before their run but it captured the spirit of wonder woman so damn perfectly that I still love it.
Diana rebelling against her nature as the God of War captured the paradox of the merciful warrior that is Wonder Woman absolutely perfectly.
>>
Azz run and Perez (at the beginning)...
>>
>>88511651


Depending on the version: being willingly tied up, being tied up by a man, being tied up with her lasso, touch based hyper-empathy, not actually being bullet proof other than her wristbands, lack of knowledge or understanding of "man's world", over reliance on martial training, over reliance on diplomacy, ancient moral code that flat out doesn't mesh with modern standards, specific magic and magical creatures, fealty to the gods, unwillingness to cause harm for the greater good, over-willingness to cause harm for the greater good

>>88511709


>Green Lantern
Depending on the version: wood, the color yellow, fear, being a lone wold loos cannon, general emotional problems, having a strictly limited amount of power available before having to take a break to perform a ritual with a reasonably fragile glowing artifact that has to be used in an even larger ritual to repower itself on an alien world every so often, that he green lantern rings work off poorly made stolen magic, that green lantern rings work of chained gods, green lantern corps law and bureaucracy

>Flash

Hubris, overconfidence, speed force, anything that cannot be solved by being fast or time travel, time travel, very poor decisions (particularly related to time travel), boomerangs, actually only being resilient as a normal human when not moving fast, secret identity.

>Spider-Man
Guilt, pride, overconfidence, under confidence, double life, teenage shit (hormones, lack of experience with the world or relationships etc), being poor, when rich not being used to having large sums of money, RIDICULOUSLY low self worth and self imposed poor lifestyle.

And they all have the weakness of being comic book characters who have to follow the plot, story, memos, directives, tie ins, events, crises, marketing gambits etc etc

And the meta weakness that none of them actually exist outside of the minds of sentient beings as they are comic book characters.

>>88512165
A lot of things can hurt Superman too. I don't know where people get the idea that nothing can hurt him.
>>
>>88510412
Yes.

Why is /co/ always shitposting against Wonder Woman?
>>
>>88511397
I loved that run so much. It's a shame that I went into Rucka's run having such high expectations. It just feels like the current story is one giant retcon.
>>
>>88527550
I look at Azz's run as more of an Elseworlds. They really should just repackage it and sell it as All-Star Wonder Woman.

anon, you don't really think this, do you?
>>
>>88511651
Depends. In some incarnations having her wrists bound takes away her powers. She also can't directly disobey her patron gods usually.
She is almost always second best in all her powers compared to other heroes
Not quite as smart Bats
Not quite as strong as Supes
Not quite as fast as Supes or Flash
Not quite as magically damaging as Marvel
Also villains use her mercy against her sometimes.
>>88527424
Because /co/ has to overcompensate all the time to look cool for the other boards so they hate things tumblr or women like

that neck position is messing me up

i can't tell if that's her back or front and leg position makes it only more confusing
