I’m not going to dive into the pedantic details and the emphasis of bolding, underlining and font size changes you seem to live by in your responses. Or the parsing of the language used in a friendly response in a discussion.
Simply put, it’s what they all ended up doing together and you probably had some idea of what I meant.

These are a lot of the connections (Circe, Devastation, etc.) I think about and could be really interesting to explore with the Titans of Myth, Olympians and Diana.
The Titans of Myth and Olympians and Gaea and other deities lends itself to whole stories about family, betrayal, trauma, etc. I’d just really like to tease out the status of the Titans of Myth, because they tend to get used in different ways. (E.G. Hyperion, iirc, in the latest couple of issues of Wonder Woman.)
Definitely an issue when writers start mostly fresh with Wonder Woman when they begin their runs.
That’s why in a way, I started writing my Wonder Woman Series Bible Thingee for fun for myself. I wanted to make sense of the entire Wonder world and characters as a guide to build on all the great characters and aspects of Diana’s history. The characters portion of the Bible is getting to be quite long!
Oooooh the venom I have for the DCnU Donna origin! I’m okay with trying new things and letting them evolve, but they have to fit the character somehow.
That origin took Donna so far away from who she had been and her personality that it made zero sense to me. At least that’s how I think about characters and their personalities at their brightest, most popular, point in time. It’s got to fit who they are somehow. (And I’m very protective of Donna.)
Honestly, it’s a bit how I think and feel about Etta too. When they shifted her to be in the military with Steve so long ago, it really changed the original intent and personality of the character. I’m all about returning Etta to her heiress, adventurous, best-friend-to-Diana roots. It could make an interesting triangle of friendships and attitudes between Diana, Etta and Steve.

Agreed - case in point, I really liked the idea of the Circe and Ares relationship. One of my favorite things from the Azz run was Highfather having the hots for Hera when they visited New Genesis.
Imagine how Circe and Ares dating would affect Diana and/or the Olympians?
Instead of killing Zeus, what if Hera said had just said “it’s over” and started dating Izaya?
I love thinking about and pushing the narrative in these ways… Hera as the stepmom to Scott Free and Orion. Darkseid being all, “Izaya is dating one of the most powerful goddesses… what do I need to be careful of?”
Zeus free to date again in a modern world and dealing with Hera leaving him.
Fun dynamics to think about, from my POV at least, and new places to head with stories.
I think that nobody really is pushing for word by word adaptation of every Greek myth. Just so you know, stories would have some thematic connection to them and that gods wouldn't just be used as regular heroes/villains that shoot lightning from their eyes and dress in togas.
This, nothing wrong with being a team player. Problem is that the team has sucked for few decades now.

Good point, Billy and Mary should've lost one sixth of their power because of it.
