    I'd say there was some of Perez' Diana in the DCAU in the early episodes where she was naive and inexperienced.

    If there are I've yet to see them.
    The audience of the Justice League show was very different from the audience of the Wonder Woman movie.

    Even a wet paper would have been more interessting than DCAU Wonder Woman was.

    Like how? They are both mainstream audiences.

    That is just not true, both were comparably nerfed in season 1, and Wonder Woman stayed like that unlike Superman which yet again portrayed her as a weakling in effect.

    I don't know what you mean by mainstream audiences. Justice League was designed as a saturday morning cartoon, mostly for the typical 7 year old boys and to some degree girls. And only adults that liked superheroes specifically would watch that cartoon.

    Wonder Woman was a movie watched by all kinds of demographics in great number.

    I am pretty sure you are wrong about Saturday morning TV. If I remember right, it was on Cartoon Network but on their primetime slots, at night. It was very much aimed at a mature audience.

    What exactly do you think is the mature audience of Cartoon Network in the year 2001? It's clearly not "mainstream". Some adults watched the show, but they were a large minority. And the George Perez personality definitely isn't popular with 7 year olds.

    Yeah, I was more annoyed at the lasso bit than stuff like power levels. Like saying GLs shouldn't be able to make constructs (which not like they made much interesting ones on the show to begin with ).

    I seriously doubt 7 year olds were the primary target given the type of show it was.

    I have, and the comparison doesn't really hold up.

    Gadot's WW in her first movie was like a mix of Perez and Marston.

    I definitely think the JLU show would have benefited immensely from using either Perez or Marston as templates, or a competent fusion of both, instead of the bland non-entity we got that doesn't stand for anything aside from being a grouchy straw feminist who crushes on Batman.

    Given the types of shows that Cartoon Network played in their later hours, it was definitely not geared for the 7 year olds. I am not sure where you are coming up with that. And what do you classify as mainstream? How do you know that adults watching the show were a minority? If you have evidence, please share it since I think you are way off base on this.

    Again, show the proof, or a link as to how cartoon network promoted the show.

    It was consistently rated Y7 which would denote it was at the very least made with seven year olds in mind.
