The problem is, there is no long-term story potential with her being the daughter of Zeus. There's no dramatic tragedy, no obstacles to overcome, no great responsibilities to be reluctant to adhere to because of that. It's now just...Your parents got together and now you're just here...That's it...I guess you all got what you wanted, Wonder Woman: simplified. Problem solved? Not to me...

That works fine for the story that azzarello has told thus far, even though it's a change I still don't think he needed to make. But I don't see it working long-term. The likelihood of some writer down the line messing it up it to the point of retcon seems likely IMO.

@archizoom If you want evil wonder woman I suggest you go back and watch the justice lord episodes from justice league, or flashpoint paradox wonder woman, to your hearts content. She's already got enough haters that despise her for being the "man-hating feminazi". What good will evil focused stories do for her character now?

You can show character development and growth in Diana by showing that although she was once upon a time designed by the gods to be their champion, she eventually moved away from their expectations of her, to carve out her own path. "For a long time, my sole duty was to serve and do the bidding of the gods. They had great expectations of me. But lately, I now see that I have my own destiny to pursue..."

And if the amazons aren't supernatural women, then what are they? This is mythology we're talking here, not the freakin' planet of the apes.

How does a story centered around the journey of a bastard demi-goddess grab anyone?

@kidstandout Between these two boards, I actually thought that their Wonder Woman forum actually had more mature discussion going on, whil this one while is good, but tends to have more seemingly redundant topics.

@kidstandout You don't have to do all that. I admit, I played a role in all of that mess. I made my remarks and then felt like I was getting ganged up on, so I felt that I had to respond to all the criticism.

@kidstandout Well, there are 'good' mistakes too...Perhaps that wasn't the best choice of word...How about 'blessings'? Huh? Is that any better? Is that doing anything for you? And I don't remember doing any swearing either.

@kidstandout I see nothing wrong with the remarks I made. I don't see what the problem is calling her a bastard in the n-52 since Azzarello had Poseidon himself refer to Diana as a bastard daughter.

@dshipp17 Some of your comments regarding Wonder Woman were a bit obsessive, and borderline outlandish to be honest.
