Well, I accidentally closed the tab and lost my well worded comment, so here's the gist of it: The writer's TV credits don't fill me with confidence, but then he has actually written WW in the comics, so maybe he's competent. WW has too small a cast to support a Smallville-style soap opera, all she's got is Steve Trevor, Hippolyta, and maybe Etta Candy. I want a show that mixes her working with the US government with Steve and her dealing with an Azzarello/Chang inspired Greek Pantheon, I might actually watch that. Finally, CA's suggestion of a "no bracelets, no crown" rule is silly, the whole "no tights, no flights" rule with Smallville was to avoid what non-comic reading audiences often see (very, very, very wrongly, mind you) as the lamest elements of Superman. A more appropriate rule for WW would be "no invisible jets, no patriotic swimsuit comstumes."
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
