In the Annual this guy claims that his people were driven from Themiscryia by The Gods when they gifted it to the Amazons and they've been waiting for Diana to die before attempting to take it back. They planned and they will be invading the island pretty soon.
Not a fan of that if they make it out to be true.
I'm hoping it's true. Themyscira displacing a civilization during it's creation is a warhead with a heavy payload falling from the sky. It has to be dealt with. Even if it's a civilization filled with creeps they'd have a right to feel wronged.
Although the Amazons are blameless they didn't pick the location of their island. Their patrons did and we all know they don't always play above board.
Why does it matter? You constantly gatekeep the Wonder Woman properties discussed here and question everyone who does not worship the WW altar 100 % (whether your gatekeeping is direct or "subtle," it's quite noticeable). Let people like or dislike what they want to). Jeez, Louise.
It's not that deep, I had no ulteior motive for asking the question and stated quite plainly the reason was curiosity. Now I know their feelings on the subject and they both made a lot of sense. That's part of the beauty of Wonder Woman, she has a lot of different elements making up her world and we're all attracted to diferent facets of it.
It is that deep to you, obviously, if it makes you engage in this constant, sometimes-blatant-sometimes "subtle" gatekeeping of these characters. This is like the fourth recent time you question several differente members of the board for disliking a certain type of WW art or a specific writer or even a pic. Like I said, enjoy whatever you enjoy and let others enjoy or not enjoy whatever they enjoy/not enjoy; the gatekeeping is ridiculous and unnecessary. I have never seen anyone else here interrogating anyone over their preferences in regard to WW stories.
I mostly liked the annual, hut I'm really disappointed they're keeping her WWII ties. I don't think that origin works for the main universe anymore.
It makes her seem completely ineffective if she's been around for decades and society is still the way it is. I also think she should be from the same generation as the rest of the Trinity as she doesn't really behave like an immortal would (as evidenced by how easily manipulated she was in this very issue).
With such a larger focus on the Omniverse lately, I don't get why they don't just explore WWII Wonder Woman as part of Earth-2.
Ineffective how? What goal do you think Diana is failing at if she's active 80 years? To be clear, I much rather she is introduced in modern times, too. However, I'm not certain what she would have failed at. Society has literally billions of people. Even just American society has hundreds of millions. It doesn't seem possible to change the entirety of society.
Also, if she had, what exactly would her comic book be about, a perfect world? That sounds boring.
I really enjoyed the story in the Annual but that art was inconsistent and choppy to stay the least. I'm looking forward to Trial of the Amazons even more now.
