I’ve always been a fan of Diana and Barda’s underrepresented friendship. Today I’ve been catching up on a lot of comics and I thought this was a sweet moment. Don’t know why Barda doesn’t have a nose though 🤷🏻‍♂️

An interesting change of her not accepting it out jealousy or envy against Diana but rather to be better than her old self/try to be equal to Diana. Guess they're saving the full reveal for when Diana goes back to earth.

I made another sketch card of Absolute Wonder Woman.

Genuinely why isn’t it depicted that way because they have advanced technology why does it look like they haven’t left ancient Greece since ancient Greece because Wakanda is Afro tech society that’s what I call it technology with a lot of African influence in its architecture and design so why isn’t themyscira depicted as more technologically advanced or maybe I haven’t read enough wonder woman comics to see it, but the ways depicted in what I have read so far does not fit what it has been described to me as

This question is which cheetah do you prefer attractive cheetah a cheater that can go between animalistic and attractive and back to normal depending on where she is mentally and how much she’s going to feed her jealousy or just straight up animalistic

First of all, I'm a new reader who loved AWW and started reading 1987 WW so I'm new at the story.

But my point is, as someone who didn't know much about Wonder Woman, what I've seen is that her bracelets serve to limit her power, and now that I'm reading the 1987 version, I've realized that they change things about Diana that there's no need to.

The bracelets serve as a prize that Diana wins by demonstrating her skills, and they represent the Amazons shackles when they were enslaved. Why limit her powers? And what's the point of that? If the whole point is that she has the blessing of the goddesses, why suppress it? And also, in some versions, she is the daughter of Zeus. The Amazons are a plan of the Goddesses, and Diana is a soul they kept until the right moment arrived. Diana fulfills the role of the chosen one, but making her the daughter of Zeus (although I don't know how it has been handled, but the idea doesn't excite me much, anyway) is that she is another demigod.

It's as if they wanted to make her more ”interesting”, when she already is without any of these changes.

I still have a lot to read, but this is something that came to mind based on my external impression of Diana before I started reading.

Would you say Wonder Woman is essentially DC's "chosen one," or is that too simplistic an interpretation? Is she merely an ambassador from Themyscira, bridge between two worlds or does she serve as some kind of Messiah figure or a prophet because of her connection to the Gods.

I don't normally read Wonder Woman. I don't read comics much at all these days. My last encounter with WW was some years ago, when I picked up some trade paperbacks at the library. It started with Diana meeting Cheetah, and helping her break free from an evil god and regaining her humanity. It was a good story, and quite in keeping with what I feel Wonder Woman should be all about. So it was a pretty big bummer when Barbara later turned BACK into Cheetah, and just fully embraced it this time.

I've been worrying about stuff lately; the likely loss of my apartment, the health of my cats, general dissatisfaction with where my life is going... stuff like that.

Anyway, something made me look up stuff on Cheetah and Wonder Woman, and I saw pages from a more recent story: Where they actually make peace. After a vicious fight, Cheetah has WW in a stranglehold, and with basically her last breath Diana tells Cheetah that she still holds out hope for her, and loves her. And Cheetah relents.

Afterwards, they have a heart to heart.

I don't know, I've just been in a place where I've really needed that. It's odd how fiction can help us sometimes.

Hi everyone, I felt like sharing some of my thoughts about Wonder Woman since I've been getting more invested in her character lately. Like a lot of people I've known who Diana is for all my life cuz of the Justice League cartoon and the movies, but I never really cared too deeply for her. Absolute Wonder Woman seemed cool so I read it last year and it truly opened my eyes to Diana. I was expecting to get some badass fights and crazy stuff because of her design, but what I got was so much better.

My favorite thing about Wonder Woman by far is her compassion. That moment from the first issue of Absolute where she kissed that lil salamander as a baby endeared me to her so quickly. I thought it was so beautiful that even as lil baby who could barely think yet, she still made sure to love this creature who was trying to hurt her 😊

I only got around to reading the Year One storyline very recently, but I felt that same feeling from that one little image of her sticking her tongue out at the lizard. Seeing that giant two page image of all the cool stuff she can do but having one little cute image in the bottom corner felt special to me. It feels nice to enjoy a character where that is the moment that sticks out the most to me.

Later in the Year One story, a more serious moment happens where she interrogates one of the Sear prisoners and I wasn't expecting her to deal with that guy in that way. Instead of getting the truth out of him and moving on, she actually sat there with him after she realized that he wasn't in control of his actions. That was such a powerful moment for me, something that small and simple put an even clearer picture into my head of who Diana is at her core. This feels like such an inconsequential moment in the whole story, but it's really been just stuck in my head since I read it.

I also started reading Godwatch and really like that she chose to put the Chimera in the zoo instead of outright killing it. And I really love that speech from Absolute Wonder Woman where she says "Wonder Woman believes in you". I try to think back to that sentence at times as a way of like hyping myself up or making me feel better when I'm feeling down.

I've only really been interested in Wonder Woman for a few months in total, and I've only read Absolute and Year One fully (actually not completely caught up on Absolute) but I feel such a strong connection to her now. Spider-Man and Batman are my favorite heroes and they have helped me through a lot of personal troubles. But Wonder Woman feels so special to me, she means something to me in a different way then my normal guys. I love the hope that they can convey, but I love the pure bliss that Diana gives off. She seems so caring and compassionate for every person and every being, regardless of their intentions. I really love her and I'm looking forward to getting into more of her stories. She's also kinda gotten me back into comic books in general so that's another plus 😄

Also, I'm fully on board with the idea that she needs more representation! I'm saying this as a Batman fan as well lol, I've got enough Batman stories for the rest of my life probably, gimme more Wonder Woman!

For me, it's 100% changing her mother figure to Circe, who really didn't care about Diana that much but eventually grew to love her, even if it meant raising her in hell.

I think ideally the best thing to do is simply combine the Post Crisis Titan Seed storyline and her classic Pre Crisis(and I think current?) origin with the additional extended information from NTT’s “Who is Donna Troy?”.

So my idea is that Donna Troy is the orphaned daughter of the deceased Dorothy Hinckley and would briefly be adopted by Fay and Carl Stacey, who raised Donna for a few years but ultimately couldn’t keep her as after Carl’s death in a workplace accident, couldn’t afford to keep Donna.

Feeling dejected and sad of never having or knowing a true family, a young Donna ran away from the orphanage, but as she wandered the streets she’d be taken by the Greek Titans to New Cronus where she and 11 other children from various planets were assigned as Titan Seeds. They were raised by the Titaness Rhea who selected each because “with all hope lost in their lives, they can be reborn and start a new purpose with divinity.”

And so for years, Donna was trained and granted several powers such as Super Strength, Durability, Flight and Longevity. Once she became 13, she was deemed ready to go back to Earth and so with her memories of New Cronus erased, they believed when the time was right, she’d grow enough with her own ideals and strengths to return where she was renewed.

The Titans plant her in an abandoned apartment set ablaze, purposely for a certain resident hero to find Donna as they found one connected with the Greek Pantheon a more comfortable advisor. When Wonder Woman finds the girl who strangely wasn’t burned by the flames and holds no memories or parents, she decides to bring her home to Themyscira.

The Amazons also agreeing a girl with great powers shouldn’t be left alone in a world she holds no memories of. So they take it upon themselves to train Donna with Hippolyta personally raising her, becoming an Amazon and with enough convincing, was allowed to leave the island to become Wonder Girl and become a founding member of the Titans in her own right.

I think these are good amalgamation of certain origins because it gives her a unique tie to the Greek corner of DC via the Titans and a good mystery that unfolds as we and Donna herself learns more about what she is while giving her a bit grounded story.

I don’t particularly like the new 52 origin that’s just a knockoff of Diana’s clay origin or the one where she’s a literal mirror image of Diana cause it feels like ways to explain why she looks similar to her adoptive sister which I find unnecessary. And the whole cursed reincarnation storyline with Dark Angel is much too convoluted for an adaptation. But what do you guys think of this idea?
