All of Wonder Woman's powers need to shine more such as her strength giving a beat-down to heroes and villains alike. After all, Diana is as beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, swifter than Mercury and STRONGER than Hercules!

I am not hoping it works, it simply works this way.
Its good that you mentioned Mjölnir, because MARVEL did the logical way:
Thor throws Mjölnir at Hela and Hela catches and destroys Mjölnir.
Diana is mortal...
Its simply impossible that it works on a being like the Phantom Stranger who is OUTSIDE of every classification and could kill every God with a simple move.
He is right, is 10000000% the same.
It DOESNT matter...
Did you see Thor vs Hela????
Thor tried to use Mjölnir at Hela and Hela caught it and destroyed it.
Mjölnir was also said to be UNBREAKABLE!!
Canon feats doesnt matter, because they are ridiculous...
Are they your arguments?
Sorry, thats ridiculous!!
You are talking about ridiculous canon in feats with weak people like Shazam,Superman etc. and compare it to an omnipotent being who is OUTSIDE of Classification?
Thats ridiculous: Its like saying: Oh, I can lift up a pencil and therefore I am able to lift the earth!
It makes NO SENSE!
Its not omnicscient etc.
Its not misogyny etc.
Reality is this with Phantom Stranger is ridiculous......Its NOT!! because she is a woman, thats ridiculous and makes NO SENSE!
Its simple because NOBODY should be able to harm etc. the Phantom Stranger.
I would react the same way if it would be Clark,Batman,Martian Manhunter etc.
Its simply ridiculous and OP.
If you are talking about Thor:
MARVEL did the right thing and showed in Film how it has to be:
Mjölnir was said to be unbreakable, but then Hela showed up, who is superior to Thor and broke the Hammer EASILY.
Its NOT about Superman, I dont know what you are talking about.
The Situation for Phantom Stranger is impossible and only Elaine,Spectre,Lucifer,Michael and Presence himself should be able to restrain, harm him etc.
Its not about comparison, its simply about impossibility.
You are COMPLETELY RIGHT.
I really find it funny:
Superman does something powerful: He is OP!!
Wonder Woman does something IMPOSSIBLE like capturing Phantom Stranger who was able to resist Eclipso,Spectre and Dr. Fate together: Its completely ok!
No, they havent.
No its not unbreakable..
Diana IS a simple mortal....
And NO Darkseid is NO Jobber, he lost because he usually relies on AVATARS...This was also the explanation why Brainiac often loses.
Brainiac and Darkseid use most of the time Avatars for fighting which arent as powerful as they are themselves.
While I agree with the sentiment, the powers you mention are all of the flying brick variety, and the only ones that seems to matter most of the time to DC.
What Ascended has identified as a problem is that this power set is hardly unique. If those are the ones that all she uses, she will always be defined as #2 to Superman and by his power levels. But Diana is a lot more than that. She has telepathic and telempathic powers. She can communicate with animals. Arguably, she has a connection with both the Green (she has Demeter as a Patron goddess) and the Red (ditto for Artemis). Her gifts from Hestia, Aphrodite, and Athena manifest themselves is still very much undefined.

Sorry, your preconceptions are showing. These have never been her "main" powers, or even "her most classic powers". You are focusing too much on Heracles and Hermes, powers that are already widely known and understood and used, when I (and I guess Ascended) wants to explore the powers she received from Amazon training and from Hestia, Aphrodite, Athena, and Artemis.
The movie made her empathy into a key to keep the team together, and the Amazon values (and love of Aphrodite) into what she needed to defeat Ares. Pérez had her acting as a heroic midwife, using her psychic powers and the gifts of Artemis. Marston had her use telepathy, advanced psychological knowledge, and leadership skills at key points in the narrative. Simone had her dig deep into her Amazon training in order to defeat a mind-controlled Power Girl.
That is stuff that not only is sadly underused. It is also stuff that makes her different and unique from other superheroes—including Superman.

She could use a lot more travel speed feats & lightning blast attacks being zeus daughter
LMAO, are you using the movie version of Thor as a comparison? Sure, ok, I mean that's actually like comparing an avatar of Darkseid with Darkseid himself.
Again with this "impossible and ridiculous" nonsense, 1) this is comics, impossible stuff happens all the time 2) show me with feats or your wrong
Diana is immortal, stated a dozen times.
again, LMAO, "what the characters are capable of doesn't matter because I don't want it to" is a hot take I wasn't expecting but, I'm not entirely surprised by.

I understand what you are saying, I do. However, currently writers have a difficult time showing her, really any superheroes, most basic power set (strength, speed, and durability) consistently. We don't get to see Diana towing the sun or moon around like in the golden age, instead we've been reliant seeing Diana fight powerful people and then use their power as a measuring stick for her. She has a hard enough time staying in her tier level, I don't think we are going to be able to see her other more unique powers if we barely see her most basic ones.

For Diana, love, empathy, and leadership are "basic" powers!
