    Default The many Gods of Wonder Woman General Discussion


    The (Greek) Gods are some of WWs longest supporting characters and important to her overall mythology. The Gods have also had A LOT of incarnations throughout her publication history.

    General thoughts on how they are handled in WW? Should they play bigger roles throughout the DC universe? Favorite version of them?

    Historia will probably make up most of my favorite designs for them but these are some personal favorites I've liked over the years.

    The big 3 for me will always be Athena, Ares, and Aphrodite each one representing politics, war, and love(sex). Those are core themes that Diana explores and they are probably the most important concepts in all of history, I mean name me one person in which politics, war, or love don't play a major role in their life. So I don't think you can write a 5 star, 10/10, S+ Wonder Woman story without these 3 gods playing some factor in it. Be it an origin story or anything else. They certainly shouldn't be the only gods that are shown, but they should have the most significance and development as characters. Ares more so due to his "main villain" role along with Circe and Cheetah, and as Diana's grandfather via being Hippolyta's dad which I think under the right writer would be an interesting dynamic.

    I would also LOVE IT if the Gods would stop being canon fodder for once.

    I liked how they were portrayed from what little we saw of them in Earth 2, Mercury seemed cool.

    What book is this from, please?
    “You see…the rest of them are soldiers. But [Wonder Woman] is an artist.”

    I only support the made of clay origin.

    This. If you can’t tell a story that involves killing deities, then try to find another story to tell.

    I think Ares likes being manhandled by wondy. It seems to happen a lot.
