CT: On The Developments in Wonder Woman

NSFW For Referencing a Person Who'd Require a NSFW wiki-search.

By Me

The new improved Etta appeared in the new issue of Justice League as Steve Trevor's assistant, who Priapus is and what he did in Ovid's Fasti do not bear repeating.

to be fair the suddenly thin and african american (which i think is awesome) Etta Candy is probably inspored by the fact that she was going to be played by Traci Thoms in the aborted series.

I also have to giggle at the whole "not observant thing" i could totally see that happening..

also i am a shamed to admit it... I know SOME of the story of Priapus (the obvious *ahem* part...) but don't know the part that this is referencing *goes off to wiki*

	Wait. They have a large number of male slaves, yet when they want to become pregnant, they go out to find men and kill them? Given that they're the product of Greek myths that weren't shy about a bit of incest here and there, aren't they missing an obvious solution?

	I actually like this issues revealation and the way this book is going. Its proving something I've thought for a long time, Diana is the only non-asshole in her books. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Show 1 comment) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

So, to summarize the Amazons of this story...

- They're murdering psychopaths.
- They're too dumb to forge their own weapons.
- They're man haters to the nth degree.
- They can't produce a single independent thought that doesn't involve sex and/or violence.

The fact that Diana is the only reasonable character (to a degree) in this book adds another point to that list.

- Amazons cannot produce positive thinking individuals unless they have sex with a white male god from space.

Not only does this origin make Wonder Woman totally male dependent, but the main story line screams "Wonder Woman vs. the Female Gender!". She has no female allies outside of the damsel Zola who's pregnant with a son of all things, and Diana's number one villain is Hera, who's literal title is "Goddess of women". I do not understand how DC takes their signature female super hero and puts her in a world where all women are crazy and only men are the trustworthy good guys.

	Actually it is explained why Diana doesn't know. They only do it three times a century. Which is way to rarely, but they probably had to throw that in to explain why Diana hasn't done this herself (Reply to this) (Thread) (Show 8 comments) (Hide 8 comments) (Show 8 comments)

A DCU fanfic I read had Bruce Wayne explain that Diana and other Amazons go through intensive combat training because they get their powers from Greek goddesses... and a LOT of those goddesses are associated with love and fertility.

"Face it Clark, if the Amazons didn't undertake that incessant preparation for war ... they'd all be pregnant by Thursday."
