What I fear for the character in the mainstream

With the character attracting tumblrites and SJWs, I fear that comics and other media depicting the character, her mythos, villains, and supporting cast, will take an even further miniscule role, and give way to much hoohah and bahblooey concerning feminism.

same here.

I fear that's what will happen to most female characters.

I don't know ... she faired pretty well from the Lynda Carter series back in the day ... I think the mainstream will embrace her unless they make her a man-hating-feminazi type feminist. There are actually quite a lot of childrens/young adult books and such around WW and a large portion of the movie going audience already has some exposure to her from her various appearances. I suspect we'll get something akin to the Timm universe version of Diana when all is said and done

All they have to do is make her like Faora

Sure social justice warriors and feminism are sensitive subjects but I honestly believe it would benefit American comics by giving them a push in the direction that they need.

I would LOVE it we got something close to Timm's Wonder Woman

@sodamyat: or Man of Steel's Faora but with more personality

i dont see it. i want compassion, firm but just. I want the feeling of the bruce timm wonder woman. you know, that mother feeling she gave off. like, come to mama, i'll take care of you but lie to me or betray me and i'll wreck you.

I wouldn't be opposed to that either ... she was a bit nerfed, but she had all the right basics to her personality

Exactly. Feminism is such a feared word, but many female characters in movies that are loved and respected are considered to be feminist characters. Clarice Starling, Buff the Vampire Slayer anyone? Cat Woman! All at sometime have been considered and interpreted through that light. If feminism ever comes across as man-hating, be weary who you are reading, most likely it´s either a male writer who doesn´t know how to subtly deal with a character who is a feminist icon (sometimes female writers as well) or the writer has a purposeful agenda to make feminism out to be a man-hating set of theoretical beliefs. Feminism like Marxism, existentialism, liberalism, Realism, post modernism etc is made up of a vast tapestry of theoretical and ideological commitments, that diverges from each thinker, writer or social activist that has contributed to it´s rich history.

I mean it´s hilarious to me that people fear a theoretical approach to politics, social theory, aesthetics and philosophy. It´s like saying "man I hope filmmakers don´t get to hung up on Neo from Matrix being a postmodern icon in a remake, cause I don´t want to alienate general audiences by making Neo look like a Modernist hater" it´s dumb. sorry OP.

Anyone who believes in gender equality is a feminist. There is a difference between a feminist (a person who believe s in equal rights between men and women) and a feminazi (someone who wants unequal rights in favor of women and resent men).

So people might say "Im not a feminist" but if they believe in gender equality then they are.

@klaus: A certain user (you might know who I am talking about) seems to think feminists are nothing more than feminazis and go out of his way to bash what they stand for.

Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women.

Egalitarianismis a trend of thought that favors equality for all people. Egalitarian doctrines maintain that all humans are equal in fundamental worth or social status, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term has two distinct definitions in modern English. It is defined either as a political doctrine that all people should be treated as equals and have the same political, economic, social, and civil rights or as a social philosophy advocating the removal of economic inequalities among people or the decentralization of power. Some sources define egalitarianism as the point of view that equality reflects the natural state of humanity.

Dont confuse both terms anymore.

@deathpoolthet1000: Egalitarianism sound nice

Bruce Timm's version? You mean where she was a callous b1tch and acted nothing like her comic counterpart, her rogues and supporting cast was next to non-existent, and Timm used her to further rub his Batman loving peni-......err, libido?

WW has always been about feminism, the only problem is that she is often a straw feminist or she is shown as needing a more logical(steve) person to give her a more balanced view. If anything I fear they will do her dirty like they do in most WW media instead of trying to make her a dynamic well written character like i know she can be

I like how we live in a world where fighting for social justice is considered a bad thing.

Yes, fighting for equality makes you an a-hole on the internet.

Nice.

Also, how does Bruce Timm's Wonder Woman have a nice personality?

She was a royal CUNextTuesday. Hell, Hawkgirl basically had to tell her she's wrong.

Her personality only changed when he tried to make her Batman's girl.
