I like King's mini's more than I like his ongoings, but I'll check this out non-the-less.

The gods are already a group of ancient, scheming, backstabbing, interfering assholes... Why drag the Amazons into this when it goes against the basic core of the story and you already have another set of characters that basically could have that role?

It took YEARS to get that out of my head and out of my nightmares. Thanks, HotBoy!
I agree about Doctor Poison, but more important than her design, it's the gimmick from that run that matters. She created liquid curses by using science to dissect the cadaver of gods and mythical creatures.
But, then, it kills what Paradise Island should be about. I use should be because in All-Star Comics #8, Marston wrote Hippolyte mentioning that their weapons are better than the men's world. If you're going to constantly show the Amazons are in some form of strife or is basically hypocrites, what's even the point anymore? Like, I'm okay showing them having a troubles every so often, only for them to overcome it. Proving that Paradise Island is a beacon of hope, that humanity can reach this point. But yeah, there's no point in creating these ideas of that this is what humanity can do if we strive for it. I guess this a casualty of writers wanting the Amazons more like the myths instead of keeping them aligned with Marston's vision (minus the weapons).

There's a difference between constantly having issues and having issues every couple of hundreds or thousands of years. If they did a 5 year war, thats a small fraction in the Amazons time on the island and doesn't kill what the island is about.
We didn't have anyone mad with what Historia did with the island and there are times they go to war throughout WWs history.
