    He did a lot of good things for Wonder Woman. Gave her Devastation, gave her the best version of Dr Poison who was primed and ready to become the mastermind of lot of tragic Diana stories, but didn't get much use after, and he gave her Wonder Dome, which led to the cosmic university by Phil Jimenez.

    I always thought that armor was ugly, so I don't see that as a good contribution.

    Oh god, even the file name is 'chicken cry armor'.

    At least it looked good in WW84.

    and yeah I think the armor is now ICONIC.

    Getting rid of the bottom jaw helped IMO.

    I think it looks fine when Ross does it (except for jaw like you say) but it's in more traditional comic art is where I think it looks cumbersome.

    It looks terrible when Ross does it as well. It's so busy looking with so much details and crap drawn on it. You can't tell what you're supposed to focus on.

    WW84 gets it right by breaking it up into sections, making the wings separate, making the costume more form fitting and drawing attention to Gal's face.

    Nowadays it makes more sense to play up Diana's greek side more and the flag elements being there due to being inspired by Trevor's medals.
    The 2009 Wonder Woman animated movie explained that the best.

    Except she isn't an immigrant. And we both no the reason for why she wore that costume had nothing to do with commentary on immigration.

    Agreed, you don't have to be born in the United States to respect American ideals. In fact I'd suspect someone who had to strive to get here and studied our history for an American citizenship test would be more patriotic than many natives.

    Also this was my first issue of Wonder Woman so it probably influenced my feelings on the subject.
    That dialogue hasn't aged well.

    Well, she is talking about the ideals and not the reality.

    I think there's been some stories/continuities (Bombshells if I recall) where the explanation is the colors are just things Themysciran culture also prominently uses, so it's more just a coincidence. Which works for me and works with the current costume.

    Can't recall if it's been explicitly stated but if the Amazons had been influenced by Mycenean Greeks then that would also explain the red and blue since that was already a part of their culture.





    I think Nicola Scott may have taken inspiration from this for Rebirth because her depiction of Themyscira was a lot more colourful than what we usually see.
