Yuck. Still not care for the fact that they used Diana (even if she is an alternate universe one) as *YAWN* a romantic object for one of DC's big boys.
I imagine only a geologist understands what kissing Darkseid is like.
It's an alternate universe. I would be disappointed if weird shit didn't happen.
The ick factor with a Darkseid-Diana romance is off the charts.
I'm not one to defend the DCAU Wonder Woman--and I'm inclined to agree Diana falling in love with Darkseid is pretty ick--but isn't convincing him to turn good and redeeming him actually something the comic Diana would do? Shouldn't Wonder Woman see the best in people and encourage/teach them to be better...even Darkseid?
Is there context I'm missing, because I'm not reading this comic? Is the execution wrong? Or is it that she actually falls in the love with him in the process?
Would have been a fine story if the fact she was his lover didn't feel so tacked on...
Will media corporations ever learn you can love someone without it being romantic.
~I just keep swimming through these threads~
Read this issue out of curiosity. I have to agree with others, there's nothing particularly egregious here. Honestly the main things that annoy were the call-backs the poor Wonder Woman-centric episodes of the DCAU and reminder the DCAU was trying to give Diana daddy issues long before Azzarello pulled the trigger (an illusion of Hades showed up).
It was kind of amusing that aside from hooking up with Darkseid, sounds like this alternate Diana was closer to Wonder Woman's actual personality than DCAU Diana was for the large part.
Anyways based off this issue, "WonderSeid" > school girl crush on Bruce Timm's self-insert.
