That's it. I'm sick of all this "amazons shields are normal" bullshit that's going on /co/ right now. Amazon shields deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine shield in Themyscira for 2,400,000 Tetradrachm (that's about $200) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even defend against slabs of solid steel with it.

Amazon smiths spend years working on a single shield and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest shields known to mankind.

Amazonian shields are thrice as sharp as European shields and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a towershield can block, an amazonian shield can block better. I'm pretty sure an amazonian shield could easily block a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical move.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Themyscira? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Amazons and their shields of protection. Even in World War I, German soldiers targeted the mamazons without the shields first because they knew that they wouldnt be able to do it if they had a shield... their blocking power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Amazonian shields are simply the best shields that the world has ever seen, and thus, require a better power description to fit with my canon. Here is the stat block I propose for Amazonian shields:

(One-Handed Exotic Shield - Magic)
+can block anything
+makes criminals afraid
+indestructible
+blocks x-ray vision and other effects passively or at will of the wielder
+can be thrown
+good for bouncing
+protects wielder from all sort of attacks
+Counts as Masterwork

Now that seems a lot more representative of the defensive power of Amazonian shields in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Amazon shields need to do more blocking , see my new stat block.

I don't get why Azz fans get so pissed off at Rucka when the Finches had already destroyed what good Azz's run did.
Forgetting any sort of redemption arch for the amazons by just having them murder their brothers, having Hera drop all personal growth and just having her go back to being a vengeful and angry goddess, completely ignoring the reason why Zues wanted to be reborn anew in the first place and just having him return to the same old Zeus at the end, and plenty more... .
It doesn't surprise me Rucka retconned everything. After the Finches there really wasn't much worth saving.

>>93043463
We are mad on Finches as well, but between the two I'd say that Rucka's crime are far worse.

>>93042983
If she doesn't have super tough skin/body how does she survive her own feats of superhuman strength?

>>93043686
I guess if you want to be nitpicky, her skin has a lower resistance to pressure than Supe.

the same force applied to a lower surface lead to greater pressure. It' why a needle can penetrate something larger object can't when applied with the same force.

I guess she can deal with powerful strike if the area of impact is wide enough.

>>93043643

>>93043643

When there's a flurry of bullets flying around, and you're far away, bullets tend to drop and even though the shooter was aiming for the chest/abdomen, the bullet fell and blew off the target's knee or ankle

>>93044378
Comic book writers are some of the most misinformed people or most unknowing when it comes to how things actually work IRL. I was once friends with a guy who was part of a group of comic book writers and illustrators. Every now and then he'd introduce me to the people he worked with and how he worked his 'craft'. It became quickly apparent that the whole group was very good at implementing ideas and experiences that they themselves had went through, and nothing else. Even basic shit like "how does a gun work", "how do you conduct a science experiment" or "how long does it take for a government plan to actually happen" was easily researchable, and wouldn't hurt the story to get right; but they'd blow right by all of that. When I would try to give some input about some things (like how a car engine works) they'd just thank me and ignore everything I just said. But how hard it is to be a barista? That was detailed and robust in its description.
I figured that their purpose for comics wasn't for others, it was for themselves. Other people just had to get to like the writers.
This isn't the mind set of every comic book maker, but it seems to be a growing trend

The notion of stopping a bullet with such a small object as a bracelet is cool. When in comics she became much stronger as to not need it, they just kept it because it looks cool.
Seriously, that's just it. It doesn't require justification.

>>93042986
part of me thinks this is a copypasta, but how often does the topic of amazon shields come up to warrant one

>>93045029
She's never been canonically bulletproof.

Around 2006 some editors were trying to rekajigger Wonder Woman to be a bigger franchise, so they pushed for her to be more like Superman, including being much stronger than normal and invulnerable. Whether they did this because they just wanted her to be more powerful or just because they were dumb and didn't know she wasn't bulletproof is unknown.

In the New 52 she's pretty clearly depicted as not invulnerable but in some shit books like SM/WW writers kept making her that way.

But officially speaking, you'll never see her being invulnerable in her own book except in 1998 when some idiots were doing fill-ins for Luke's run, and any time she's shown bouncing bullets off herself it's the writers not doing their homework.

>>93044739
>she shouldn't be able to get punched by Doomsday with that level of durability.
A punch doesn't pierce you.

>>93043463
What is this story? I think I saw a storytime the other day of these Finches and Rucker-whatever writers but I don't know if they're worth checking out. Is tbks the Nee 52 run with Flesh and Bone and stuff or what? Did these guys write it?

For the New 52 Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang did a 35 issue run on Wonder Woman that was really popular with non-fans but was controversial among fans for throwing out her backstory, mythos and supporting cast and making the Amazons into edgelords.

After that David Finch presumably in an act of nepotism got his wife a job writing the book while he drew it. Fans both new and old hated this run because it's genuinely an awful piece of shit. They did issues 36-52.

For Rebirth DC got famous Wonder Woman writer Greg Rucka to come back. He did Year One with Nicola Scott which had been in the works for a very long time and a story with Liam Sharp and Bilquis Everly that retconned Azzarello's Amazons as an illusion while the real Amazons still existed somewhere.

It probably boils down to they aren't getting paid to discribe things how they work, and more so tell a story and use everything as a tool/plotdevice even if it is a literal tool for that matter.

>>93043463
I love when amazons are wary of men meaning humans not just males. As in i prefer when its them being superior as a species instead of any old human bitch washing up on themyscira and being accepted like that dcau blonde girl. That being said- i loved what azz did with the male amazons being introduced bc it was more that the amazon women just werent used to the idea of males being in their presence whatsoever and werent wary bc theyre male and males suck or anything like that. And plus they got over that fear. I thought it was very interesting and opened up a lot of potential stories for the future and then the finches fucking ditched it. Ill never forgive em

They literally just make her the Flash or Superman whenever shit like this comes out in a story, why even write a Wonder women story if you're just gonna make her like a Flash/Superman?

Isn't she just bulletproof anyway, nowadays? I thought the bracelets were for style points.

I hate the idea of Diana being bulletproof. The bracers are cool not just for the visual element, but because of the inherent implication that deflecting machine gun fire with your wrists requires quite a bit of skill. All bulletproofing does is make her more like Clark, which is a bad thing.

Yeah, she's a superhero, so being able to take absurd hits is just something we have to accept, but outright invulnerability is dumb.

>>93045415
This.
There was just so much potential for good stories from this plot. I wasn't a fan of the rapey/spiteful amazons but it did seem like Azz had some major character development planned out for them, or at least he laid down the foundation for them growing as a society and becoming better, more compassionate people.

But then the Finches showed up and fucked that right to hell.

>>93045502
No. Actually just a couple issues ago in her own book she was shot a few times by Dr. Poison's mercenary group.

>>93045587
Havent read ruckas stuff yet but ive heard some grapevine chitchat about a twin brother for diana? Is that to do with male amazons existing in general or is this a contained instance and rucka will never bring that into rebirth as canon?

>>93045415
But all that was already a thing. Perez had a character, Hellene, that went through an arc of being unable to accept humans, to finally giving them a chance, to being ironically killed when she jumps to conclusions about something and when humans jump to the conclusion she's a threat.

Her whole theme was learning to trust.

The reason you didn't see this in the Amazons in all the years since is because they already did that story, and it culminated in Jimenez making Themyscira into not only a global center of peace and unity but a galactic center, with people from all nations and planets meeting there for civil negotiations.

>>93045712
I meant specifically the male amazon story potential

>>93045677
It's actually a Johns thing he introduced in Darkseid War.

It was referenced again in DC Universe Rebirth but hasn't been brought up since.

However it doesn't contradict anything that Rucka's done yet, so it's still in play.

Ohoho gotcha. I purposefully havent looked it up bc i didnt want anything spoiled beside when it shows up in the comics

>>93043643
Rucka destroyed 3 of Diana's rouges so hes worse

>>93045947
Which 3?

>>93045775
>>93045820
The likely reason it hasn't been mentioned since then is that nobody really gives a shit about the idea. Not the least reason being that a plot about Diana bonding with a strange, wayward sibling is already available with Donna. And hell, it was even properly set up in the last Titans annual. So to hell with the whole secret brother thing, and let Donna actually be a part of the franchise she technically came from.

Mike Grundelwald was absolutely right, in that making up new shit is dumb if there's already something like it you can use.

>>93046009
I imagine he means Veronica Cale, Dr. Poison and Dr. Cyber. All of whom can be pretty easily salvaged by another writer.

>>93042837
>somehow not a single bullet managed to get even close to her legs
which is closest to the intended target (the black family)

>>93046082
Out of those I'd only say was Poison was bad

Cale's better this time around than in Rucka's last run
And Cyber is pretty cool

Circe was terrible though

>>93046147
>Circe was terrible though
What exactly is wrong with her? And don't say "tumblr hair". She seemed perfectly in character to me, and she's my favorite Wondie villain.

I disagree about Cale but I really liked her in the original run so we just have opposite views of her.

>>93046058

>>93042986
It's been so long I didn't even recognize it until the first line break.

I agree with this. Her new design is just bad.

>>93046218
Circe's new design is really boring. As terrible as SM/WW was that version of Circe was visually stunning. Or go back to the purple hair.

Cale had an actual reason to hate Diana this time around other than "I had to work hard to gain my power and she was gifted by the divine", and a motivation beyond destroying Wonder Woman's reputation for lulz

>>93042229
>MEEEEMEEEEE

>>93042229
ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!

>>93046310
I always thought of old Cale as Wondy's Lex Luthor.

>>93046384
That was actually the "mission statement" for creating her.

I wouldn't call her original motivation especially good but it felt like it fit with the Luthor theme of just really hating this one person's guts and everything they represent.

The whole thing with the daughter would have been a good story to tell to CONTINUE that Cale's development, but as a replacement for her motivation, it didn't work for me.

it's all a matter of pressure to surface area.
A bullet has less power than for instnance a baseball, but it's concentrated on a lower area so it does more damage.But if you're hit by something the size of a baseball with the same energy per square meter as a bullet you'd get devastated.
If she's not bulletproof she should get reduced to paste by the punches of superstrong people.

Why the fuck Wonder Woman is vulnerable to bullets if he can trade punches with Superman-tier beings?

>>93046903
>If she's not bulletproof she should get reduced to paste by the punches of superstrong people.
Only if she is taken between the hammer and the anvil.

There is different way of being strong. The skin can tear upon the pressure of a bullet, but she has enough of a strong constitution to just fly away in a single bit when she his punched with a big enough area.

>>93043686
>>93043750
>>93044739
Well, her powers ARE lliterally magic, they were bestowed to her by the gods. Her super strength doesn't make any sense logically, he just can lift heavy stuff and fight superpowerful beings because MAGIC. They forgot the impervious skin part.

>>93046310
>Circe's new design is really boring.
I don't like how "safe" it is. I mean it's like Rucka wanted to modernize her look and went with all the obvious styles, from clothing to hair. It really is boring to look at.

>>93048520
Rucka didn't design it, Bilquis Evely did.

>>93048507
Am I the only one finding it weird that she can fly? It just doesn't add up. I have no issues with any of her other powers, but Flight just doesn't seem to fit for some arbitrary reasons.

I mean, Supe is an alien with the gift of flight, Green lantern have their ring power to fly. Lots of heroes have propulsor jets...

Maybe it's because my first contact with her was in that 70's show where she didn't fly. And It make the invisible jet redundant once she can actually fly.

>>93048733
Hermes gifted her with flight

>>93045018
This. The love of the craft is dying for the love of the self. I mean, It makes sense though, right? Fans want to identify with their heroes, and when they get to write them, what do they do? Well, they think of themselves a little. They want to put a part of who they are to make a story that people will remember. The prime example of this is Spider-Man, I think, but it's apparent in many other characters, too.

I think comic books writers need to read books on how to write rather than just go to school because it's become increasingly harder for writers to write characters as their own selves, rather than use them like you use your OC. Unless you're creating a character (not dead-up an OC, though), you also have to see it as a living being, not your own way of contributing yourself into everything. I mean, Harley Quinn by Paul Dini. People may argue that it's his "OC" when really, it's Arleen Sorkin, a character Dini made and envisioned. It's a REAL character... HIS baby, in a way. Writers are losing this skill to make the characters real in the sense that they're people, not just comic book characters they really, really, like and want to write for (Bendis). I mean, I'm a good writer and a huge fan of Superman. However, I honestly don't know if I could write him well. I really do think I get the character, and I do think I'd love to write for him -- but I don't have any ideas. I'm not smart enough. I'd just wind up creating my own things in there and just hope it sticks and make a good story while doulbe-checking if I get the character right, think if this is what he says... It's hard. And, while I haven't picked up an issue of Spidey in years, I do know that I could write a story with him that people would like, remain true to the character, and actually make Spider-Man a pleasure to read again. I feel more confident in what he says, I have a better vision of a story I'd want with him than Superman (even if I like Supes more).

>>93048816
I think I would be okay with that if she had winged shoes. That would be cool.

But then Marvel could sue.

>>93042201
Well each bullet comes out of the barrel one after the other so she only has to stop one at a time. I mean when you shoot an automatic gun do you believe the bullets hit the target all at the same time?

She snaps his neck.

I really hate that Wondy didn't snap a single neck or decapitate anyone in the movie, but after Supes got to it first in Snyder's film I understand the concern.

>>93048733
>And It make the invisible jet redundant once she can actually fly.
Agreed.
That's why the invisible jet works better as a sentient shape shifter. That makes it a lot more versatile. Writers need to bring back Dome.

This is the answer to literally everything that happens in comic books. Super heroes almost never even remotely try to make sense. The few times that they do you basically always get a dystopia. Even a low-tier character like Spider-Man would be completely invulnerable to most weapons, including guns, if he was taken seriously, as his body would have to be to not tear itself apart under its own strength. Even if somehow his skin didn't have the strength to take it but his muscles did (the usual retardionalization), so what? Bullet would poke his skin the bounce off his muscles. Never mind how insane his strength would be in reality. His punches would split people in half and send limbs flying.

Pretty much any hero with super-strength would be immune to all damage by conventional weaponry and be able to instantly kill anyone within arms length.

To put that into the context of reality (of a setting that tries its best to pretend to be), Wonder Woman, were she present during WW1, would be able to personally kill the entire army then every single person in all of germany all by herself and nobody on earth would be able to do anything about it. Then she could systematically murder her way through the entire planet. Even if she needed to sleep, so what? She just lies down, sleeps. People pile explosives up around her and detonate them. She suffers no injuries. The only thing keeping her from killing all life on the planet would be that she can only be one place at any given time.

...which is why super heroes are mostly best left taken very *not* seriously, even in the context of their own universe.
