The vilification Diana got for killing Max Lord was DC trying to have their cake and eat it too. They knew turning a fan favorite into a villain would be controversial so they decided to make the audience hate Diana for killing Max rather than them for making him a villain and thus necessitating Diana killing Max in the first place.

Diana was almost a home wrecker in post-crisis with how much she flirted with Superman when he was involved with Lois, and she rarely ever got called out for it, where as Clark once took Lana to task for the same thing (although that was much worse at the time), if the post-crisis canon had stayed past Convergence, I like to think Diana finally apologised to both Lois and Clark for that behaviour once Jon was born.
Obviously, it's kind of impossible to want that now since in this timeline there were no romantic feelings, but it just sticks in my craw Diana got away with that for years and never received a comeuppance that could benefit her as a character.
I thought Brian Azzarello's run was better Greg Rucka's rebirth run.
Snowflakes melt in flame wars.
The feelings were mutual. Both unresolved, complicated and didn’t just go away easily. Numerous times Clark thought about what could’ve been with her. Clark was the one that pursued her first from the start. No one should apologize for how they feel especially when they had an attraction and developing a relationship (whatever it led to) before being involved with anyone else. Will Clark apologize for being jealous (18th letter)?
Diana being the Goddess of War could’ve been an interesting concept as well as the “God Mode” power.
I liked the new52 Gods, especially Strife.
Yes, she was aware of who he was, she knew he was involved with Lois, and even had the gall to tell Lois SHE was Clark's best friend when we all know that's the wife's job.
And yeah, that time they were stuck on Asguard where Clark rejected her on the last night...but that sadly did'nt stop her from continuing to push herself on him and not know her boundaries.
