So the sword and shield are over indulgent but not Batman's near limitless arsenal or the number of powers writers just throw at Superman when it is convenient. Of course she doesn't need the sword and shield all the time but people are talking about getting rid of it altogether.
Also that image from Morrison's GL is the perfect example of a pot calling the kettle black given how he's written Wonder Woman before.
Over indulgent not in a power scalewise but how it should be used. Do you think diana needs a sword or a sheild against a guy with a gun?no.sword and shield are at the end of the day symbols of war. She can make do without them. She has left the wars behind. Specifics would be appreciated in regards to your grievances of morrison's wonder woman.
No but she generally isn't using that sword against normal guys with guns now is she.
Again, I am not asking for her to use a sword and shield all the time. Just when it is needed. The people who hate the sword and shield are the ones asking for it to be gone entirely. I'm just looking for a compromise here.no.sword and shield are at the end of the day symbols of war. She can make do without them. She has left the wars behind.

Armour thing only exist because of the Snyder's armor look. Otherwise it doesn't really look like much of an armor. Again, we wear protection for things like cycling. So, it doesn't really symbolise much. Sword and sheild are specifically used for that purpose and very much popular in that regard. An armor is'nt used that widespread in that regard to evoke familiarity and emotions regarding things connected to it, in this case war.
Morrison said in interviews that he would also poke fun at himself in his GL run, not only at other creators, so I don't think the Wonder Woman scene makes him look like a hypocrite, it makes him more self-aware.

It's funny how men through the eons have been inventing things that are phallic in design--things that are pointy and thrust. It's like that's the main obsession of the male brain. I think women would come up with different designs. And there are lots of devices that aren't phallic that could be used in an offensive manner--so it's not like Wonder Woman is stuck with using a sword, as if that's the only weapon there ever was. Besides her tiara, lasso and bracelets, there's a mace, a gladiator's net, a bolas, a shuriken, an axe, a slingshot. It just lacks imagination when they default to swordplay.
