He gets them, because his power seemingly has no limits or anything we can compare it to.
But, ..Wonder Woman? It's more like a traffic stop, when Wonder Woman gets this question. It's as if we feel compelled to pull her over...correct her, check her, remind her of her place, in things. "Isn't Wonder Woman, a little too powerful in this scene/movie/cartoon/thing? She's not THAT powerful, right?"
C'mon, man. She can't be...right?
I know this doesn't sound like woman-hatred/resentment/suspicion (misogyny) to some of you. Take the world of someone, who remembers, firsthand, all of the truly sickening, pathologically hostile rebukes of Lynda Carter's show, by everyday dudes of ALL ages, ..it sounds like misogyny. I'm not saying that it is, but dang sure sounds, like it to me, ..and I think, in 2020, it's sorta' sad.
No, I don't think Wonder Woman and her Golden Lasso are too powerful. Nope.
