[QUOTE=Robanker;5260884]I mean when you keep trying to turn her into Xena or Red Sonja instead of writing [B]Wonder Woman[/B]... Maybe all the shake-ups will get the right people in charge of Diana again.[/QUOTE]
Now would be the perfect opportunity to change that. DC can let Yara Flor be the sword-and-shield-wielding warrior woman so that Diana can become a diplomat for peace once more.

[QUOTE=Agent Z;5260813]In this case, there is no attraction. You're seeing things that aren't there and basing your claim on an overused trope in fiction.[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry, but you can't tell me what subjective subtext to take from the stories I read.

Sure, but if you squeeze any piece of media your going to find examples of bad behavior. I mean the entire superhero genre is founded on the basis of extrajudicial violence.

No. She is doing a self insert character in I’m not Starfire

You weren't treating it as "subjective subtext".

1) Plenty of writers use self-inserts and it isn't inherently bad. Ben Grimm is basically Jack Kirby with rocky skin.
2) Mandy looks nothing like Tamaki aside from a vaguely-similar haircut.
3) What does this have to do with her WW run?

How did I never put that together? My head must be harder than Grimm's.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out to me.

Man I haven’t been feeling Tamaki’s WW run on the main book, but her Diana story in this week’s Death Metal tie in was great. Great voice for Diana there.
