I like horses, but I don't equate putting down a mad, rampaging, weaponized animal with killing a human.
It might be said to be the most powerful weapon in the universe, but on the same page Wonder Woman is able to break one of its constructs like glass, so I'm not sure how certain she could have been that her actions couldn't hurt Hal--who, after all, is only flesh and blood. And what's worst about the Hal incident is that it's directed against a teammate, suggesting a certain lack of control even if she weren't hurting anyone. But as Brett has often pointed out, Diana's fight with Hal caused collateral damage that must have been detrimental to ordinary people--much worse than a little glass on a bar. Incidentally, she also kicks Superman hard enough that he says he'll be feeling it for a while--and that seems more plausible know that we've seen elsewhere what she can do against Kryptonians.
I wasn't troubled by that as "violence," per se; it did no real harm. If anything, I didn't like that she seemed rude, disrespectful and ungrateful to a friend who had helped her out. Strife, on the other hand, was someone who had just instigated Dina's sisters to kill each other, and she was now putting her hand on Zola's belly and making a crack--or a threat (with a capricious being like Strife, how could anyone know for sure?) about cutting the unborn baby out of that belly. So I guess I'm not concerned that she was rude, disrespectful or ungrateful in that instance.
Verbally expressing more eagerness for battle--and, indeed, for cutting off heads--suggests a real personality difference between the two versions, especially when you combine it with the fact that Azz's Wonder Woman regularly abstains from violent acts (taking vengeance on Hera, fighting back against Siracca, killing the Minotaur, killing the First Born) in which many people would probably not hesitate to engage if they were in her shoes.
