THIS IS IT, FOLKS
THE BIG ONE
THE WORST WONDER WOMAN STORY OF ALL TIME
Also, AMA anything about THE MOVIE!
...how old is this kid supposed to be again? Fucking millennials
>>92890898
OH FUCK YOU, SAXET, YOU PIECE OF SHIT. THAT IS NOT FUNNY.
It's like fucking Mordor but with more estrogen
>>92890898
have a bump OP but I am not gonna stick around to read it since last amazon story time gave ME cancer
>>92891027B E E S

Why do the amazons only have war ogres when they're the villains but never when they're attacked
Who would win in a fight, Abe Lincoln's statue or Supreme Leader Snoke?
>>92891096
Because fuck you, that's why
>that plot point referencing the Patriot Act
>US military besieging woman's shelters and imprisoning random chicks for being potential "Amazon sympathizers"
It's all comin' back to me. And it all fucking hurts.
arrows > guns
>Oh thank god, Static is here!
>Oh, it's just Black Lightning. Nevermind
DAMN IT I WANTED REBIRTH
But overall thoughts on the film Sexat?
>>92891203
They're not even bullshit techno arrows or anything, just regular ass arrows.
Much I like Perez's run, I will never understand what he was smoking that caused him to reduce Themyscira's tech level.
>>92891277
I think my evil twin did Rebirth
ANYWAY
So, the movie:
Ireally fucking likedit. It's well paced, well structured, it's surprisingly well acted (and I say "surprisingly" because I didn't expect much from Gadot, but she surprised me). The good guys are all pretty charismatic and likeable (even the stereotype sidekicks), and, surprisingly enough, there is actually character growth for Diana in this movie, which surprised me because usually in superhero origin movies the protagonist stops growing the second he puts on his costume.
The bad guy's motivation makes sense but he doesn't appear much so he's not terribly memorable and the CGI's a bit spotty at times, but that's about all my major gripes with the movie. Some minor ones are overuse of slow mo and the Germans speaking English for some reason
>but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!!
What the fuck
>>92891408
How about Dr Poison? Everyone I hear is talking aboutIs is really even a spoiler at this point? Ares
>>92891485
I wonder if this was one of those events that the more tie-ins you read, the less sense it made.
Jodi Pichoult's entire run was quietly setting this thing up, with the distrust from the US against Amazons, and Circeresurrecting Hippolyta
Did anything remotely good come from this?
Spooky
>>92890898
JUST FUCKING NUKE THEMYSCIRA. AMAZONS AIN'T SHIT. THROW FUCKING CAPTAIN ATOM AT THEM.
Good Lord, this one piss me off.
>>92891537
It was a Countdown tie-in, so no.
Abe's all like "really, bitch?"
This entire thing would end immediately if Diana, or rather if the writer, remembered that the Lasso can break mind control spells.
Just, everything about this story is stupid and contrived. Nothing about Amazons Attack makes any fucking sense.
>>92891529
Dr. Poison was mostly just there, I did like the scene where her and Ludendorffgas their superiors so they can keep the war going and then cackle evily because they left them one (useless) gas maskthat shit was kind of hilarious for some reason
Yes, a WAR is out of your league, sure
>the big gun
>the other big gun
Why are they talking like this? Are they literally stupid?
Diana saying "mom" is weird.
>Wonder Woman event
>Batman is front and center
inb4 Deadly bee weaponBees...My god...
It's the title of the comic!
I know they're Amazons, but how is a shot like that even possible
>>92891777
She's always had a formal manner of speech. It's Circe who speaks like a more modern chick.
Also, I gotta give Flashpoint one bit of credit, at least it gave us an invisible air fleet. Amazons Attack doesn't even give us cool shit to look at so we can ignore the "plot". And frankly, I always hated that the Amazons are Bronze Age nowadays.
Not sure what the point of that sequence even was
>>92891900
if Amazons have one ability, is to know where the enemy neck is at all times. Didn't Wonder Woman slice off Medusa's head while completely blind?
Took you long enough
>>92891900
>>92891921
>>92891946
This is in a fucking comic book with Batman and Superman on the cover. How did this get past editorial?
Is the movie really only a 7/10? That's Marvel teir
Batman's nose looks weird
You should have saved this for the Weekend of Pain.
>>92892057
The only opinion that matters is your own anon, don't let some website decide how good a film is for you
I personally thought it was way better than a 7/10 (I don't like assigning scores though)
>>92891811
What makes it even worse is that Diana herself is barely in the comic to begin with.
That's just so fucked, since Diana has only ever had two events centered around her mythos, War of the Gods, which was fine but suffered from being way too ambitious, and this piece of shit.
Interesting though that Circe is the big bad of both. She's always made more sense as Diana's arch than Cheetah.
>>92892098
i'm not seeing a movie that's got a 7/10 as an average.
Yes, this cliffhanger got resolved IN ANOTHER BOOK
>>92891260
>Shit my joke didn't work on the president. I'll have to save it for the league
>>92892034
>"H-hey Batman ya know MONITOR duty is rarely this exciting. Haha!"
>nailed it
>>92892131
Really? Not even a camrip? You must be awfully busy then
Like I said, I personally don't give a shit about scores because the idea that my opinions will perfectly line up with someone else's is absurd, no matter how many "credentials" they have
>>92892169
kek
>>92892183
>You must be awfully busy then
No, it's that I don't want to waste my time on something I'm going to forget in a month. I can't even remember the basic plot of GOTG v2 after I got dragged there by my boyfriend
>>92892118
Hopefully we get something soon now that the films doing well.
Though I imagine it will be something toyetic as Darkkseid War except now the JL is GREEK GODS WOW!
Also still waiting on Wonder Brother which'll probably be a big event
Hal knows where ALL the air bases are
I don't get why their helmets have those black screens
>>92892219
Well whatever I guess
>Oh no, I'm being derailed by another shitty event!That's Red Hood by the way
>>92892324
>>92892288
Starfield!
I wonder if Kyle was still in his Ion suit at this time
Artemis, what the hell did you do to your hair
>>92891408
She died during the imperiex war or am I mixing up amazons?
Gimme your Wondy playlists
The official DC one isn't exactly what I imagine when I think Wondy
https://open.spotify.com/user/official_dc/playlist/36tH883130qnmbg4nB7zQF>>92892371
>>92892371
Is Artemis in the film at all? If so how is she? I haven't been keeping up much
>>92892352
No, he was back on his Lantern duds by now. This is around the time of the Challengers of the Beyond
>>92892394
Polly? Yeah, she died in Our Worlds at War.
>>92892225
I'm pretty sure everyone at DC immediately forgot about that. Probably even Johns forgot that.
I mean, it's such a nothing idea that really has no potential whatsoever. I'm way more interested in the relationship between Diana and Donna as it currently is. That's always something that's gone tragically unexplored.
>>92892398
Artemis is in the film, she's played by a hugeblacklady. She doesn't have any lines though.
I thought we were done with this distrust bullshit after Infinite Crisis
HERE IT COMES
>>92892438
>war lions
>not even kangaroos
why does this comic do everything wrong?
YES
ALL OF IT
THEY SET FIRE TO ALL OF KANSAS
WHICH IS NOTHING BUT CORNFIELDS BY THE WAY
>>92892288
So the artist doesn't have to draw faces
Wow, Kansas must be awfully small
>>92892593
Hey-yo, are you watching the movie after all?
>>92892558
I'm impressed that Kara and Cassie actually have different faces, but my expectations for these things are at an all time low
>>92892534
It's sad that the only recent Wondy book to feature kangas was Earth One. Really? I gotta rely on Morrison for old school COMIC BOOKS goodness?
I'm kinda starting to hate Trial because it keeps forcing me to praise Grant Morrison. Goddammit.
>>92892626
My mother surprised me with a ticket last night, so I will be seeing it this evening.
These are like the TV screen panels in DKR, but shittier and boring
>>92892490
>>92892508
I like Woods' art, but is it me or does it keep getting significantly worse as the story goes?
>>92892535
WHAT
NO
>>92892646
Coolio, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.
>>92892654
Who is it?
>>92892656
Agreed
>guy gets his head chopped off
Well that's gratitude for ya!
>>92892656
Peak Woods was his Tec run around the time Steph was Robin.
Beaten by a fodder Amazon! How embarrassing!
I can't help but ponder if this story could ever have been good in the first place.
Like, what could you even do with this setup?
>>92892775
>>92892801
Just the physicality of the art feels so off. Nobody seems to be moving or expressing like a human being.Then again it is a cape comic.
>I don't kill
>Yeah, me neither
Uhh thanks?
Oh boy
>>92892732
Short hair doesn't bother me, but this is way too short for Artemis
>>92892751
You are reminding me that I haven't actually read a lot of Batman and Tec. I did a large read through of Batgirl (Cass and Steph), Catwoman, and Nightwing, but never actually got around to the main Batman stuff (Morrison stuff notwithstanding)
>>92892830
Well in Greek mythology Amazons are like a thing you can throw into a myth or a war when you want to spice it up. They've been involved in a lot of conquests, you could borrow liberally from there.
My fave is Herodotus' description of how the Amazons start tribes of women warriors in Scythia. It's a bit 'Odyssey of the Amazons' in its own way.
>>92892830
Maybe an Elseworlds?
THERE IT IS FOLKS
THE MONEY SHOT
>>92892646
>Texas Mom: Sweetie, I know you're a big Wonder Woman fan, sooo, I got us tickets for the movie!
>Texas Anon: Um... Thanks, Mom.
:3
>they didn't have Barbara-Ann Minerva get fused with an insect god and turn into a sexy honeybee woman named BEETAH in this
fucking dead to me
>THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS WAR IS TO KILL THIS ONE PERSONThis is starting to remind me of a certain movie...
>>92892830
The whole concept just seems like an excuse to have imagery of Greek/mythology based armies fighting modern day armies.
They could have had like Ares or someone be the enemy and have the Amazons show up as the heroes to save the day, which would make more sense considering Jimenez and Rucka's runs both involved the Amazons becoming more involved with the world.
>>92892933
Hahahaha holy shit, it's a real line.
>>92892933
I can't believe someone wrote that line not intending it to be a joke.
>>92892952
It'll be fun, she'll drive so I get to drink at the theater bar!
Grace Choi is such a Winick character
>>92893023
They could have hired Frank Miller to do one where the Amazons invade the US to violently murder the secret terrorist army about to take over the US.
>>92893124
>flip phone
shit, I barely remember my monochrome display cell phone
>>92893214
>2007 was 20 years ago
>Things fall apart
Just now?
Uh... why the fuck didn't Supes just KO Hippolyta right fucking there and take here prisoner?
>>92893332
Take HER prisoner, even
>>92893266
Lasso her. Right now. This entire insipid train wreck of a story ends if you lasso her right now. DO IT. NO, JUST DO IT.
>>92893332
It seems like a very obvious plotpoint, even for a story as retarded as this one.
>>92893266
Gyre can't get any wider man.
>>92893452
>>92893409
Was this President notable in Countdown? I never read it, and I think I remember him having a meltdown in Final Crisis
>>92891033
An A-10 Warthog flight can decimate this force.
>>92893519
President No-Name? Hell if I know. The only Presidents that I remember mattering in DC lore are Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton and Obama.
It's like Superman Returns but more boring
>>92892890
On the one hand, just rounding up women at a women's shelter because they might be amazonian sympathizers seems stupid. Especially with the war raging currently, you'd think you'd want all trained people fighting.
on the other hand, based on a lot of 2nd and 3rd wave feminism literature...it's not an illogical assumption that they might go full "kill on men, Amazonia forever."
if the war was going on longer, this might have made more sense, than striking these shelters the same day as the war starts...
Lady, you look like some low-level NPC in Skyrim. Hardly intimidating
>>92893541
I always found this page to be bullshit. Also made me wonder where the Suicide Squad was during this crisis. This is a moment where Supervillains would be given carte blanc to repel the invaders. I know there was Salvation Run, but I think that took place later.
JUST SHOOT IT IN THE GODDAMN HEAD ROY
>>92893700
The Suicide Squad was busy being a then-forgotten franchise.
>>92893684
When does Zealot come kill all these bitches?
>>92890898
Oh boy another Saxet WW SoP-
>Amazons Attack
nonigga.avi
Uh-oh, red eyes Superman is here!
>>92893763
Saxet has literally converted me to radical misogyny.
Will Clark's persuade check work?!
>>92893751
oh you're right. I forgot about that.
Nooooo, you motherfuckers that was a huge potential EXP gain!
>>92893832
With a little luck it'll return to that soon. Or Christopher Priest will get to write it.
>>92893239
>2007 was 20 years ago
Anon...are you from the future?
>>92893794
Wew
>>92892695
>one day to decide
>>92893239
>one week to decide
damn, it's bad when they can't even remember their own ultimatums. What's next, they have one year to decide if they surrender?
>>92893865
Yeah, the world surprisingly survives and Trump gets a second term, but he's assassinated by hobo-Hillary. The new President Kcarab Amabo starts a new organ donor program based around clones. Eventually the clones start to gain sentience when some activists let them go out of their stasis pods and currently a literal clone war is going on.
>>92893885
Not any of this pussy MGTOW shit either. I've already issued a challenge that I'm gonna take all the girdles (women still wear girdles, right?) of the local feminist book club and all their Susan B. Anthony sex karate is just gonna be like the soft thighs of a Mediterranean maiden on my ripped, hairy, centaur-like back.
>>92893939
just like a woman to change her mind
also fuck off with posting images on a storytime
>>92893654
Yeah, it kinda seems like they were just happy for the excuse. Awkward.
This is why DC needs to stop trying to make the Amazons into assholes, cause then we get cringey shit like this.
Hey Saxet, how were the Amazons in the movie? Do they get to be normal ass people who happen to be from an all female island, or are we in for cringe again?
>>92893992
lol
>>92893998
It's fine, we're nowhere near image limit
>>92893719
>Ahegao lion
>>92894025They're very friendly between each other and there's no "clay" bullying or any of that nonsense, but they do distrust outsiders for obvious reasons. No raping and killing though, they're immortal (Diana is the only child in the island when the movie begins)
>>92893975
>Even though an actual goddess said no, I thought they would still be cool with it
Please explain this reasoning.
This Prez sucks
Just like a dumb bird
>>92893583
How dare you forget President Luthor!
But yeah, here he is being useless in Final Crisis
http://i.imgur.com/2lSM2Wm.jpg
>>92894156
What would Lex have done if he was still the president?
>>92894156
they all can't be president corndog girl
>>92894195
Defeat Hyppolita using brainiac tech and then use the chaos to try to kill superman with a massive mech suit?
>>92894195
try and kill Superman
he was a real one issue president
>>92891083
>>92891113
what happened to the kid? his bodies not laying there
>>92894213
Damn straight
>>92894241
No, he's there. His Jacket just kinda blends with the guy's jacket.
>>92894241
He became one with the Force
No, that's not true! That's impossible!!
It's like the fuckin Tigger movie all over again
>>92894123
Nice. More and more, it seems like Jenkins actually knew what the hell she was doing.
I always hate it when people try to say the Amazons are perfect and flawless, but they really aren't. They've have, since day one, been portrayed as paranoid and slightly arrogant isolationists. But apparently that ain't fuckin' good enough for some, no we gotta make them edgy, have them murder people for no reason, throw babies off of cliffs, and talk about how they're above humanity even though they themselves are humans. That's dark and mature, maaan, way better than writing them as just people!
>>92894144
>Please explain this reasoning
YOU SEE ANON, MY AMAZONIAN VAJAJA BLED UPON THE GROUND IN THE IMAGE OF A DECAPATAED EGAL! THIS MEAN OUR CAUSE IS FAVORED!!!!!
All bs aside, the Greek Pantheon could never agree on shit unless Zeus was beating them with a thunderbolt. Sure, Athena is the patron goddess of the Amazons, but there was a decent chance that Hera or some of the others might side with them.
And she's under mind control, not exactly a rational person in that instance.
>Hey Batman, don't you care the least bit about this possible plot hole?
>Nope, too late for that
I like how they look at each other after Diana's all like "but she's totes dead!", like they just KNOW how irrelevant that is in a superhero world
Yes, I'm pretty sure Superman could have stopped you before you slit Grace's throat, he IS faster than a speeding bullet. Idiot.
>>92892408
I feel like I'm reading half an event or it is just missing every third page.
>>92894453
when did Bats become an expert on Amazonian magic?
>>92894542
Yeah, this event is HEAVILY reliant on tie-ins.I'm actually thinking of storytiming the entire thing for the Weekend of Pain
>>92894525
>You probably could.
They admit it right on page wtf
>But are you sure
That's...a really weak argument, specially since superman probably finds himself in this situation at least twice a week.
>>92894542
to be fair, I think this had a lot of issues that crossed over with it, and unfortunately they're all relevant to the "plot."
>>92894542
Maybe the tie-in's explain stuff?
>Tie-in issues
>Catwoman (vol. 3) #69-71
>Supergirl (vol. 5) #20
>Teen Titans (vol. 3) #48-49
>Wonder Woman (vol. 3) #6-13*
*I think this is misleading
>>92894557
Batman is an expert on everything, shut up
>>92892626
It really isn't a "nation tearing itself apart" when there is an invading army doing it.
>>92894542
AA is one of those events, the kind that puts important plot points in the tie in books instead of being a cohesive story on its own. I fucking despise this cancerous bullshit, personally, because it's an obvious ploy to try and get you to buy said tie ins, and it makes the story hard to follow and thus less enjoyable.
So this already shit story is broken up into pieces to boot. Ain't that just lovely? Especially a shame, since the only good part of this heap happens in the main WW tie in.
See? Even magic is nothing to the Bat-God incarnate!
>>92890898
Oh fuck you
Ah yes, remember when J'onn actually wore real clothes for a change?
>>92891558
QUIET CIS SCCUMMMan!!!
Strong independant womYn overpower weak penis lugging men with ease!!!this really is shit OP, fuck you, fuck you for what you do today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYtXuBN1Hvc
>Ha HA, all according to keikaku!!
>>92892857
I'm looking at the last panel thinking "did Superman bring his own dumpster? Is he now returning it?" but I notice there is no bodies in those last to panels, did they pack the amazons in the dumpster to do something with and the art failed to show it?
>>92894792
Quick: What are your favourite battle-scene spreads?
>>92894797
Stop asking questions, it will hurt less that way
>>92894846
Anything by Perez and Stokoe. I also really enjoyed Reis' work on Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night
I don't get it, is DC trying to forever hate Wonder Woman? Because it's working.
>>92894584
This goes beyond "heavily" this is like fucking 90+% are missing.
>>92894588
To be fair, with all that bad writing that is this event letting this happen probably the safest thing it would just turn out that "LOL, SHE CAN! READ THE FLASH ISSUE 69 TO SEE WHY!" or something like that.
>>92894887
Senpai, this is old as shit.
>>92894940
>you won't kill me
you're whole existence is revolved around Arching Wonder Woman, it's the one thing she can do
>>92893085
Wait, what?
Who is this? What's going on? What does this have to do with the current war? Is this advancing a plot previously untouched in this series?
>>92895005
No, it's just a huge waste of time.The whole event is
>Bet ya 50 bucks she does it
>>92895111
oh no, Wonder Woman dropped her sword because she died off panel
I can't wait to see her corpse on the next page
>>92892535
Isnt this like really close to Amazon suicide? They knowingly attack Clarks parents to distract him from the fight but at the same time if they kill his parents, he may just snap and kill every bitch on the planet. Like all of them. Every. Last. Snatch. Dead.
>Uh Superman, you killed all the women.
>"NOT MY PROBLEM HOMOS, i'm off to bang space bitches, PIMP Kent Out
>>92895138
Now I know what you're thinking, "why the hell didn't that kill Batman?"Because fuck you, that's why
>>92893621
This artist lacks any ability to show action or drama
>>92895138
HA! Get rekt, Bat-Bitch! I fucking love you, Circe.
This page right here is the only good part of the event.
>Fuck you bitch, I don't owe you any explanations!
>>92892890
This is so fucking stupid. As a woman hating boner loving faggot I have to just say, this is so fucking stupid.
This will only raise more questions than answer them.
Oh, do shut up.
>>92894156
Wait... how do they have footage of Superman dropping off the president when he was picked up by military medivac?
Everyone's like "well, that was a thing that happened"
>>92895406
and then the amazons were sent to a prison island to be sacrificed to Grendel.
But who could be behind this heinous scheme?!
>>92895376
man i forgot how much i hated sanctimonious, do-no-wrong greek gods. Even Marvel Athena was an obnoxious cunt. At least Azz gods owned up to being selfish dicks
OF COURSE!!!!! IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE!!!!
Except, wait. It doesn't. What the fuck?!?!?
Whelp, that's it for me. I'm off to take a rest from running all these shitty comics, may catch that movie again with a friend. See ya around.
>>92895513
This is almost impressive in how fucking stupid it is. Even Shayamalan would think this is a forced log of bullshit.
Granny Goodness? Really? Fuck you. And all this so she could make a new team of Female Furies, allegedly. I think. It wasn't terribly clear.
Fuck Countdown, fuck Amazons Attack, this is proper trash.
>>92895149
He wouldn't, this isn't the injustice universe. He spared brainiac even thought he was responsible for the death of Pa Kent. He also refused to kill Manchester Black when he used telepathy to make superman think he had killed Lois.
THIS COMIC SUCKS
>>92895513
Hahahaha what the fuck.
>>92895289
"Ha ha! I let all this destruction and death happen to TEACH YOU A LESSON!"
Nice.
>>92895513
What?
WHAT?!
This makes even less sense than if Athena just fucked them over.
WWHHHAAAAATTTT?!??!?!1111
>>92894699
Don't you need a particular predisposition to use magic? Zatanna descends from the homo magi, not anyone can do what she does just by talking gibberish. Even then, isn't Circe superhuman? I doubt batman could take her out so easily.
bump of pain
>you will never be sent into a brutal meat grinder of magic vs technology and blast maybe a single Amazonian or two before getting two arrows through your neck or a sword in your gut
so was this kind of supposed to be a stealth JL book but they just fucked it up beyond repair?
>>92890898
linkara loved this one right?
>>92899855
No but Cry for Justice was meant to be a new JL ongoing team
>>92895513
how the fuck granny goodness beat the entire greek pantheon?
>>92900808
because why the fuck not, right?
>>92892034
why does red arrow look like a 40 year old man in that one panel?
>>92895513
What an utterly stupid ending to an utterly stupid event.
>>92890898
well... at least the art is nice
>>92901244
Because Roy was meant to be a former drug addict in his 30s, heroin fucks you up
>>92900385
wasn't that a while after this?
>>92903098
yes it was 2009-2010
>>92890898
This was when I quit DC
