@SCORPIO_CASSADINE:
Oh yeah, she didn't take orders from Steve, he was eventually phased out of the show because he was boring and useless
Well now your mixing versions. I am talking about the 70s TV show.....and comparing it to today's Wonder Woman. and yes in the show she Worked for Steve Trevor It was not "phased out" it was simply less formal. That is not bad in itself. But no comic book version of Wonder Woman used a secret identity to the point it was used in the Wonder Woman TV show. Diana Prince is a construct of the TV show.... not the comics.
She chose to work for the government because she came to America to promote freedom and democracy and to save lives. She stated so explicitly on more than one occasion
That is the 40's Wonder Woman ideals and she never "WORKED" for the government in any version. Lynda Carter version actually collected a paycheck and officially worked for the government explicitly. Now that being said, are you telling me 70s Wonder Woman had 1940's Wonder Woman ideals? Because 70's Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) did not proactively go out and try to promote freedom and democracy. She simply reacted to situations of danger nothing more
That was her mission and the reason for her patriotic costume
1940's Wonder Woman's costume was patriotic and she had a reason to wear it. 1970's TV Wonder Woman's costume Had absolutely no patriotic significance. It had no meaning and no connection to the American flag or patriotism based on storyline of the TV show.
Her contact with the War Department and later the IADC is what facilitated her heroic adventures and initially allowed her to watch over Steve.
As I said before 1970's Linda carter Wonder Woman did not actively go out on adventures. she either stumbled on them or was part of her job to investigate as part of her regular job duties.Compare that with Rucka's Wonder Woman or even the current wonder woman who actively go out and do heroic things instead of just reacting to situations like the Lynda Carter version
What would you have preferred her do instead of being a government agent?
Exactly what she has been for the last 70 years. Wonder Woman. The government agent thing was made up in the 1970's TV show. She was not a government agent in comics.
Like I have always said I liked the 1970's version and I still enjoy it. All I am saying is that the 1970's version of Wonder Woman is very different than the comic book version to the point that they are polar opposites.
One thing that always bugs me on the show. Why does she need to turn into Wonder Woman?.... All her amazon sisters have close to the same abilities as Diana/ Wonder Woman... and none need to spin and change to gain super human strength. Whats the point of coming to mans world and making herself weaker as apposed to just wearing a disguise.
