I don't even think they're doing that much (the possible idea of the GoW mantle trying to change Diana in her own title notwithstanding, but that's just a storyline). As she is now, she's really no more dark than she's been for a decade now.

[QUOTE=Mel Dyer;969966]Do not want a full reboot. Enough with the reboots! Why are WW fans expected to endure so many reboots and cast changes?! No! No, no, no![/QUOTE]
There is something far worse than enduring many reboots: keeping the worst version, the irredeemable one.

[QUOTE=chlj1;969800]He may have emphasis those attributes in that story. But I believe it was his intention to focus on WW being a violent, dark God of war in his future stories, if Azz. had been allowed to continue his run!! Dc is pushing writers to focus on WW being a War God now! Their going to find away to split WW away from the rest of the DC universe, and her being a member of the trinity!! Making WW a dark character, that plays judge and jury!! Killing anyone she feels is a threat to her way of seeing justice, that will include heroes in the near future!![/QUOTE]
Actually I think he would've done the opposite. Had he been given total creative freedom, I read that Azzarello would've had Wonder Woman hang up her sword, she would've just gone around proselytizing people. Perhaps you would've prefered that. As for becoming the God of War, I don't get what's all the fuss about, Wonder Woman hails from a society of "war"riors, she just basically got a promotion. War is inevitable in a world fraught with evil, War for Wonder Woman is a means of protecting peace from those who seek to destroy it. War in and of itself can be quite a noble thing. For me Soule's "War is Darkness, Wonder Woman is light" approach is incredibly reductive and just plain retarded really.

yes, I wouldn't look at her. now circe? check the hell out of her
[QUOTE]It's the most fitting word I could come up with to describe the debut appearance of Circe in the New 52. I could also have used eerie or otherwordly, she was to Joe Rock the same as Galadriel in LotR was to most non-elves. When encounteres, she didn't have to say a word and they knew they were in the presence of someone far older, wiser and far more powerful than them.
[/QUOTE]
that is a nice way to put it, circe could be magical and something out of this world. It's much more fitting

[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969841]First? Azz WAS allowed to continue his run. It was a three-year story. He told the story he wanted to tell. He had no plans for any stories after it was over.
Second? Where is your evidence that DC is "pushing" writers to focus on the God of War stuff? There is none. The writers are focusing on the God of War stuff because it's a big change in her life and it should be explored.
Third? Diana is NOT going to turn evil. DC cares about making money. There is more long-term money to be made in NOT turning the greatest feminist icon in all of pop culture into a permanent villain. Turning her into a villain would get them a temporary sales boost at best, and then sales would go down as pretty much EVERYONE turns against them.
Fourth? She most definitely will NOT kill any heroes. NOTHING supports that.
You keep saying all these things over and over again, and none of it ever comes true. How long are you going to keep saying these things with no evidence to support it?[/QUOTE]
Have you read the latest issue of WW solo comic and the latest arc of her comic with SM, she is clearly a bloodlusting War God!! I think it's clear to see their heading in that direction with her character! She's fighting with BM about killing , SM had to stop her from killing in her solo comic. She doesn't care who get hurt as long as she can do her job as a War God, looking to kill the villain in that comic with SM!! Now that she is the God of War, she thinks she has the right to play judge and jury, being the God of War give her the right to kill whoever she thinks is a threat! I can't see her being allowed to stay in the League or remain a member of the trinity, their not a bunch of murderers like she is becoming! She is getting darker it's very clear to see!!! I wouldn't be surprised that in the upcoming event in the JL series, the darkseid war if she doesn't turn against the league and become the dark War God Dc and Azz. intend her to be all along!!

Let me disagree with you that any war is ever noble. It's usually a last resort in terms of fighting for peace. But the idea that war is some great task to maintain peace is contradiction. War is something you do when all else fails. Speak to people who have been in war, lived through one and they will never agree with you. They might have preferred there was no need for it in the first place and non violent means could have worked. But such is the baser nature of man it seems. And there are different factors that drives war any way.
But it is kinda ironic you drum Soule because Soule is the only one who did explore what being God of War could mean for Diana in Future's End WW while no one else has. It's just a title she's strutting around it. Even in Azzarello's WW and every other book she's saying she is God of War and no one knows what the heck it means to her or what powers it brings or what influence at all she has on war and mankind and what that means to the universe. The fact that there is war and constant fighting in the DCU does that mean she's failing or winning? Can she call upon all soldiers? Five Years later in Future's End series one writer is Azz himself our God of War seems useless to me. Diana is barely in the book that is about a large DCU event. Shouldn't she doing something more? What has Azz forgot he made her GOW? She has done nothing different in any of the books to be honest other than shouting I am Diana God of War. In JL where everyone is is lauding Geoff's writing of her...she could have just been Zeus daughter and that would be adequate. So this God of War thing so far as I am concerned Azzarello himself had a right to flesh it out and not dump it on others. And fans shouldn't be blaming other writers for what Azz started and did not finish. And we going OT too.
At least in this book the topic being Circe...she has been redesigned, given motivations, personality and abilities in only a couple of issues. Kudos to Tomasi for that alone.

And the fact that Diana just woke up from a nightmare about being the God of War that was apparently brought on by Strife, doesn't mean anything, right?
The fact that Diana just questioned whether or not being the God of War is making her more violent means nothing, right? Yeah, "Hippolyta's ghost" just came along and told Diana that that ain't so, but that seems awfully convenient, no?
The God of War thing MAY be turning Diana darker. But she's already questioning that fact, and Soule already planted the seeds for Diana realizing that being the God of Wr is not for her. She's going to either find a way to get control of being the God of War, or she's going to find a way to get rid of the title altogether LONG before she does anything truly irredeemable.

You haven't disagreed with me at all. I think we all wish the world was all puppies and butterflies but unfortunately humans are selfish and some take that selfishness very far. I think there's no such thing as selflessness really, even when you think you're helping others, you're doing so to appease your conscience so selfishness is still at the bottom of it. I did say war is inevitable because the nature of (wo)men is essentially competitive, if one party avoids conflict, the other will only take advantage to plunge them in a world of pain. And that's where Superheroes come in. In the right hands, ie. not Soule's hands or Meredith's, this God of War twist can be absolutely brilliant, with just a wee bit of imagination.
With that said, I agree with you, there's been no follow up sadly and I think that's because being the God of War should place Wonder Woman in a prominent position where she's just not supposed to be. That spot as we know belongs to Superman. I'm eager to see what her role will be in the upcoming Darkseid War.

I was quite relieved when Hippolyta told Diana that becoming the God of War had nothing to do with her dodgy behavior. Wonder Woman is on the cusp of a meltdown right now, it's probably just a fuite en avant. She's going to bounce back eventually. Geoff's Wonder Woman already did.

[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]And the next issue is going to be Diana fighting Circe by proxy by fighting Superman. Once that's taken care of, they'll have to fight Circe directly. From everything we've seen? That's going to be a fight.[/QUOTE]
I doubt it, since Circe's greatest power appeares to be the one she can cast over others. Right now she may have gotten hold of Superman, once that's over there's no one left.
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]That "talking head" is actually DOING something, unlike MOW Circe. She just invaded a city, sent a powerful champion to almost kill Superman and Wonder Woman, captured Wonder Woman with a gesture, and turned Superman into a monster with yet another gesture.[/QUOTE]
The talking head is doing one thing: talking.
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]The "talking head" was the standard-issue backstory reveal so that people understand what Circe's about. This happens with pretty much every new villain in their debut.[/QUOTE]
Yet when she was done, she kept on talking, now offended Diana interrupted the next part of her epic monologue.
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]Like rubbing your nearly naked body all over someone?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]MOW Circe is the one putting herself on display. She's practically NAKED.

In a skintight outfit that leaves nothing to the imagination, plus she poses as if there's an audience in front of her thats being mezmerized by her curves.

Yet nothing tells you she has any before she actually uses it.

Would you know that before she said anything?
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]I'm sure Diana knew she was in the presence of someone far older, wiser, and possibly more powerful than her.

[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]How does wearing nothing but a gauzy piece of cloth qualify as "Leaving something to the imagination" but wearing a full outfit that shows very little skin doesn't?[/QUOTE]
Leaving nothing to the imagination.
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]Superman's cape serves no purpose, when you get down to it. Diana's tiara serves no purpose, especially in the New 52, where it isn't even a throwing weapon anymore. The wings on the side of Flash's mask serve no purpose. Diana wearing a swimsuit that should be riding up her butt every five seconds serves no purpose. [/QUOTE]
Super-cape: In many incarnations it's the only pience of clothing left from Krypton, the blanket they wrapped him in before sending him away. In the New 52 it's even the only part of his suit thats truly indestructible. It may serve little to no practical purpose for him in many cases, but it has a symbolic one to him. Plus as we've seen it's handy when needing to protect others.
Diana's Tiara: At the very least it reminds us that she is in fact a princess. Otherwise it also serves as a kind of helmet.
Flash's antenna's: I was under the impression he has a form of radio communication embedded in them the same way they are in Batman's cowl.
The swimsuit: While I do agree that traditionally Diana's outfit is out of tune with it's Amazon background when they were all running around in chitons and hoplite armor. The New52 has atleast made the rest of the Amazons wear vaguely similar attire. As for it's purpose, well it usually symbolic. In the past to calm American minds, now it also denotes her rank amongst the Amazons.
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]And that ribbon serves no purpose at all other than to allow DC to publish this book without a "Mature" ranking. You can still see every inch of her body, you just can't see the "naughty bits" in crystal clear evidence.[/QUOTE]
Do you know who or what Circe has been hanging out with for the past 3000 years to make that claim?
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]I get that MOW Circe was supposed to be mysterious. I don't care, is the problem. She did nothing to leave an impression. No writer is going to read that scene and go "Wow! I can build a whole eight-month event around this woman!"[/QUOTE]
And you think they are going to look at the current one and go: "Wow, how epic! We can certainly use her!" And not mock the silly design the same way people are mocking Finch's White Rabbit who's wearing an almost identical costume to Circe's.
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;969015]Tomasi's Circe showed her power because showing power is how characters get taken seriously.

Childish? She's acting on her motivation as a villain. She hates Diana and wants to destroy her. So she's using her power to try to destroy her.
But, I guess she could always kidnap Diana and give her a lap dance. Now THAT will show the comic book world that Circe is to be feared!
Oh, and MOW showed sex appeal and childish power displays too. A naked chick rubbing herself all over a dude is sex appeal. This woman using her power to abduct a powerless mortal for her own amusement is pretty much the DEFINITITON of childish behavior.

Unnessesarily by all accounts. Nearly everyone in the western world knows who Circe is, Diana sussed that out after a moment, so no need there. Then you get the long-form explanation... which is something that belongs in an old Bond movie. And lo and behold, like all Bond movies the monologue allowed the hero to break free...
As you like to point out: abduct a man to deliver a message. MoW Circe talked because thats how messages work, SM/WW talked for no real reason.

Diana is not stupid, she knows that whoever is going to come gunning for her and her BF is not going to be some happy-go-luck pushover.

[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;970940]Childish? She's acting on her motivation as a villain. She hates Diana and wants to destroy her. So she's using her power to try to destroy her.[/QUOTE]
She had an entire issue to do so, but wasted it on monologue and posturing. So yeah, childish, if her self-confidence was in check she wouldn't have needed to use it.
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;970940]But, I guess she could always kidnap Diana and give her a lap dance. Now THAT will show the comic book world that Circe is to be feared![/QUOTE]
Would be more interesting than boring our ears off with the endless monologue.
[QUOTE=Vanguard-01;970940]Oh, and MOW showed sex appeal and childish power displays too. A naked chick rubbing herself all over a dude is sex appeal. This woman using her power to abduct a powerless mortal for her own amusement is pretty much the DEFINITITON of childish behavior.[/QUOTE]
Did she show sex appeal? Yes, unless you wear a burka, everyone does.
Is holding onto him sex appeal? No.
Is using her powers childish? Apparently you've forgotten she plucked him out of an active battlefield away from his squadmates and had a message he needed to hear. You try and have an important conversation while the reciever is returning fire.
[QUOTE=Lax;972523]It does matter when trying to equate Circe to Black Cat and Catwoman.[/QUOTE]
No it doesn't.
[QUOTE=Lax;972523]You're supposed to like it, I was done for your people.[/QUOTE]
Hmm, my people? I suppose 'my people' are just the ones not spitting with fanboy rage over Odinson not having his hammer for once while forgetting it's not the first time another human has wielded it (far from it), it's not the first time Thor's been drastically changed and you have an alien that frequently wields the hammer. I suppose 'my people' are just readers open enough to see a woman use it for once.
[QUOTE=Lax;972523]I don't need an excuse.
I preferred the previous look, it's that simple.[/QUOTE]
And thats your buisness.
