Very much prefer Diana not Zeus' child either, but made of clay. It's even worse with her, because she's all about women, and that origin makes her importance come from her father (a man), rather than the mother who raised her the goddess who imbued her with life. Hell, making Hippolyta a secret goddess in disguise would be better (and I don't like that, either). Also, I like all Amazons having same powers as they did for a long period of time.
There's no need for Cassie to be related to Diana - plenty of "hero families" have members with no shared blood lines.
I really hate characters being retconned as prophesied or divine - it's like a giant neon sign saying "look the character is SPECIAL!!!" instead of developing and working with the existing character to make them special through their actions.
