Date: 2009-03-26 01:22 am (UTC)Hey, I'm just glad I have something to disagree with WML on! I have nitpicks ranging from "not how I would have done it" to "dumb, dumb idea" on every WW writer since the Pérez relaunch. With WML, it's mainly a general unease with his slapdash writing style rather than actual desire to contradict his take on Wondy.
(Though I disliked that Artie was such a stooge when she was Wonder Woman. That I could change.)
But yeah, William Messner-Loebs, sloppy writer. But Byrne's answer doesn't quite work for me.
As for Amazon powers attenuating over generations: Marston had Amazon powers as "mind over matter," deriving from craft rather than genes. I would tend toward this approach if I were writing it. Ergo, the lesser powers of the Banas should be due to technological & cultural deficits rather than "thin blood."
