Not really. Zeus is about the most generic (and worst) choice to choose from considering the literal pantheon available. He literally represents the worst aspects of men in his long history of raping, pettiness, murder, deceit, pride, etc.
Really hoping it gets retconned out at some point in the future, as most other aspects of the New52 have already been erased. The clay origin for Diana was fine.
uhh OVIDS Metamorphosis would be an awesome and sexy ass movie... Maybe starring Johnathan Taylor Thomas??!
Uh Athena effed up poor Arachnids life for doing better needle work. and pretty sure Posideon I'd the Father of Pegasus...you know there was some beastiality there
YAAAAASSSS PAN was my AB.SO.LUTE. favorite God. I was OB.SES.SED
ehhh idk Zeus constantly cheated on his wife....his sister... even with his their own sister Demeter. Constantly raped chicks as animals then stood by while Hera tormented them.. Totally swallowed his first wife while she was pregnant is Athens. .and stole poor Ganymede from his parents

Which he wasn't in the movie, on count of Zeus being dead. If anything, Diana was Zeus' enforcer.
Again, we've seen Zeus as a villain or antagonist in WW stories before (which he wasn't in the movie) and in those continuities she isn't his daughter. I don't think that's a coincidence.

I didn't say I liked the resolution of the film.
So far the only thing I said I liked was the notion of Zeus as her father. Not here to debate comics or comicbook movies.
I think a lot of people assume Titans are merely elemental giants, when the differences between them are nuanced. Oceanus as the eldest and inheritor of his father's crown, Iapetus as a strange amalgam of smith and death god, Rhea as a leonine goddess of blood and motherhood, Cronus as an agricultural-mama's-boy-turned-usurper.
Zeus as heroic conspirator with Metis and Hecate to build a team to take down Titanic rule would be very cool, but how do you see the story working?

That's the version I remember too - Athena is giving Arachne every chance to back down but she instead chooses to use the weavings to troll Athena. Probably still doesn't justify being turned into a spider, but when you are faced with someone who is known for doing terrible things it isn't best to double down. Much like I can reduce my chances of needing reconstructive dentistry by not telling some MMA champ that I'm going to bang his girlfriend over his unconscious body or some other offensive idiocy that I can't back up.
Dark does not mean deep.
No idea how you structure that story without thinking more about it but the ending shot being Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades splitting the world up into 3 parts would be a nice ending. I still think Prometheus would be a great pov character. He would have a foot on both sides at one point and then his story could end with creating man from clay. Or they can keep going and he can steal the fire and have a unhappy ending.
