    Ed, This post has links to my other Wonder Woman writing online (as well as to reviews and interviews about the book.)

    I've seen Full Metal Jacket multiple times.

    Just because someone has a different interpretation of a film doesn't mean they haven't seen it.

    Not sure how you can categorize Ms. Marvel as a breath of fresh air without thinking through the ways it's different. If it's fresh in comparison to other things, those other things have to be stale,...

    "I believe that if the story requires violence like ALL superhero stories do and you don't like it then don't read superhero stories then. "

    So, this seems like a pretty confused response to the...

    No; you'd have a Wonder Woman who was a woman, not a man. Trans women aren't men, they're women.

    Part of why it's appealing is that it would emphasize that point, which is still a source of...

    Sure he was. Feminism can mean quite a range of things. Marston's beliefs certainly aren't mainstream feminist beliefs today, but his belief that women were powerful, that they should be in positions...

    The last time he appears though is in #28, where he again appears as Dr. Poison.

    Actually I mention the fact that they are all villains. I point out that Marston does not link their villainy to...
