Diana Prince: Wonder Woman Appreciation 2021

The red at the bottom of the shorts is nice, it ties in her earrings finally, so is her own hair instead of the wig, the gold bracelets and moving the stars to her new tattoo. But I miss the buckles on her straps and gloves adding to the bondage element.

All versions of Diana are into bondage unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Interesting article from a few years back (before the DCEU and the movies) of George Perez, Phil Jimenez, and some others like Ramona Fradon talking about Wonder Woman. Mainly their histories with the character and why they think there haven't been that many adaptations.

Interesting takeaway is Jimenez pretty much saying he doesn't care for Infinite Crisis (or at least it's legacy on Diana).

Agreed on all three counts! That quote specifically reeeeally resonates for me.

I also clocked Perez's comment about his approach to Diana not just with a mythos informed by Greek mythology, but specifically as a woman of faith.

That's an aspect of the "Daddy Zeus" nonsense I hadn't really considered that's yet another reason why it's such a bad choice. By making Diana a demi-goddess you take away her religious belief system and what goes with it. So much of what made Perez's Themyscira a rich cultural environment is that we got to see plenty of cultural practices and rituals, many of which were forms of worship. The fact that Diana and the cast also had direct interactions with the gods they were ostensibly worshipping made for a lot of tension and interesting characterisation. In making Diana a demi-goddess, writers end up just avoiding Diana being a woman of a specific faith and all the stories of ideological or cultural difference that might bring. Instead, the stories become rooted in her being "not human enough" which makes story conflict less about what she believes and more about what abilities she has.

Yeah, that kind of stuff was all over Whedon's WW script.

Also felt that was the basis of a lot of DCAU Wonder Woman stories.
