If Everything Happened, then....is Donna still ultimately a mirror twin of Diana altered and forced into independent development due to Dark Angel and the infinite time loop thing? And...what of Artemis? Her recent special had what I thought was some kind of attempt at a new origin?
So...does Diana know she died in COIE and then reborn in the 80s...?
I find all this confusing.
Yeah, it's pretty dumb. No getting around that.
"Everything Happened just like actual comics history, and some characters remember"
Either you guys believe DC comics is a villain trying to ignore everything that's good about Wonder Woman, or you don't.
And if you do, then why do you think if DC decided create a brand new timeline, they would do everything you guys want them to do?
It is dumb. The only reason there is this everything is canon approach since IF is because DC wanted to reuse 5G stories that would have taken place at different times in DC history, which explains why Diana is even less affected by this story telling approach than other characters. She was taken out of 5G by ascending. Let's not pretend DC thought this through in the slightest or thought it enhances their IPs.
The way DC treats Wonder Woman is like they are the supervillain. The everything that happened approach is simply dumb. They have multiple earths, yet they decide that whatever has happened through umpteenth reboots and the like is valid for these particular heros because they have no editorial control over their writers.
Face it, dumb is just a polite way of saying how they totally screwed up their own storytelling universe!
Yep, dumb. Diana remembers when she was a 60s spy one day, then an ambassador, then a fastfood worker, while one day remembering when Etta was a white woman in WW2 but now it's modern times and she's black while Steve is still also young and didn't fight in WW2 despite Diana remembering meeting him in WW2 or that other time they first met when he was 40 and she was 20.
