Wonder Woman - General Discussion

[Ascended]

Basically the plot's heading to the Kingdom Come universe to find Superman's sidekick Boy Thunder who spoilers spoilers:

is the future Magog

end of spoilers and the solicit includes them encountering a "jaded Superman, a broken Batman, and war hungry Wonder Woman"

Folks forget, Kingdom Come was never meant to be a blueprint on how to handle these characters properly. Each member of the Trinity screwed up in some way the 'real' versions wouldn't. Diana being a warmonger, Bruce being an authoritarian, Clark abandoning humanity....these were broken, failed versions of the characters, not them the way they're supposed to be.

I'd think Wonder fans would breathe a sigh of relief over it, honestly. Waid's not writing Diana as she should be, he's writing a failed version who had to fail in order for the dystopian future of KC to happen. Better this than him writing the main canon version is it not? Anything he does wrong here is actually doing right by that specific version.

Granted, DC saw the sales figures for KC and all the rave reviews and they learned the wrong lessons from it, for a long long time. But nothing Waid does today is going to make KC's influence any stronger. And I feel like the one person we can trust at DC to remember that KC isn't meant to be a blueprint is Waid himself.

It's remarkable the extent DC goes to make being a Wonder Woman fan an endurance contest.

[John Venus]

Waid wrote WW well in the recent 80th Anniversary special and he has grown a lot as a writer over the years. He has also said in the past that he had come to regret the way he wrote Diana in KC. Fingers crossed that this is his big redemption moment.

[SiegePerilous02]

I thought Diana was fine in his JLA run.

KC seems to be the only objectionable thing he's written with her, and he regrets it. I'm not super excited about this arc or her appearance in it, but I'm way more nervous about King on the solo book.

I'm still amazed that DC hasn't done any recent BIG Amazons/Gods vs. Furys/Apokolips event.

Granny should thirst for an Amazon to join her ranks

[Nyssane]

The Furies have seldom been used after their mini-series which all the incels were butthurt about.

There are still Amazon/parademons out there that everyone has forgotten about. Not to mention the fact Granny Goodness still hasn't gotten payback from Wonder Woman for her role in Amazons Attack. There are threads to pull to make Apokolips unravel. I'd like an all out war where the Amazons finally win.

What miniseries was that?

After how Amazons Attack turned out and the last god focused event being somewhat unremarkable, I'm in no hurry for the New Gods to get dragged into Wonder Woman.

Can anyone tell me if Olympus Rebirth and Artemis Wanted have been included on any TPB edition?

It focused on rape culture and misogyny
