In Hesiod's poem detailing the story of Prometheus,

Zeus... sent Pandora, the first woman, to live with humanity.

Pandora was fashioned by Hephaestus out of clay and brought to life by the four winds, with all the goddesses of Olympus assembled to adorn her. "From her is the race of women and female kind," Hesiod writes; "of her is the deadly race and tribe of women who live amongst mortal men to their great trouble, no helpmeets in hateful poverty, but only in wealth."

So all those people who say that they don't like the new origin because it's not as original as the old one, what do you have to say for yourselves?

They're too busy plannning how to make her realistic and relatable......stupid sobs.

@Captain13: many fans know this,wonder woman origin was unique because no other hero had an origin like her based on pandora,with the different that pandora was sent to destroy the men,and wonder woman was sent to save them,but now she is the daugther of a god,she has the same over used origin that a lot of character have,but still nobody has an origin like wonder woman origin before new 52,and to make it even worst,the story behind demi-goddess wonder woman is a cliche and over used story,a combination,ripped off hercules and xena.

@gokuwarrior: Did that really need to be posted 3 times?

@PrinceIMC: yes,because they are different users and i wanted to talk directly to them.

You could have just put all three of their names in the post. Just advice so you don't have to rewrite things multiple times.

@PrinceIMC: ok,thank you.

lol. Cool.

@jointron33: Yes like having relatable heroes won't work just look at Marvel. You guys just wont learn. Marvel's sucess in film is based on the fact that the GP likes them as people not as heroes. Iron Man is narcissic but still a nice guy. Spiderman, hey everybody knows someone like Peter Parker. That is what makes Marvel sucessfull.

@darkman61288: wonder woman doesn't need to be realistic,she has had many struggles in many of her runs that make her relatable,she just needs a good story again with epic fights and good marketing,because they are many overpowered characters that are successful,quality and marketing are the key.

Relatable still means "connects with the audience", not "strip her of everything special" or "dumb it down" or "Whatever you do, just copy the Batman template, that's what the audience wants." or "if we give her an orange and blue costume, we should get a 3.7% increase in responsiveness, but only if she's a blonde, for brunettes the folical recognition factor is only marginally represented by this paradigm and only accounts for about 0.7 % of osmotic reaction in the target audience if we assume the core is 37 points above the median age ratio, but doesn't include key potentials or random deferrers."

Relatable is a really relative statement because a character that some people relate to wouldn't be as well related to by others and the truth is every character is relatable to a certain group of people. The truth is if you get the right writer and use the mythos of that character you'd get great stories.

Yeah, but everybody else think's it's a good idea to let the lawyers, the accountants and the marketing department write the books.

@kapitein_zeppos: marketing is always important,but first you need a good story,she needs an epic run and then use marketing to capitalize that to a wider audience to show how epic run she has,making her presence more notorious.

Of course it is important to have a marketing department and they can have a positive contribution to the success of a product because they can tweak the design, they know when best to release etc.

I worked for a small company and as it grew we had a guy who was probably a genius when it comes to business, but he wanted to see our work normalized into a company procedure manual and we were asked to rate flowcharts and grade all our work into some kind of crazy database. He was at some point convinced that all our talent could be synthesized into a computer program that would effortlessly crank out ideas and material. Due to personal circumstances our boss had to close down the company and the guy took his database with him and told us he would have a company ten times the size running in one year. That was 15 years ago and we are still waiting for his idea machine to produce a single result.

what this has to do with wonder woman?,i think fans waited more than enough,in the last years wonder woman hadn't the best stories and her marketing was poor,they haven't done much for her in the last 20 years,i think that she can be much more successful if they do the right things.

The guy who wrote Pandora's origin has a 10000 year copyright law preventing DC from using it. It was found next to the Dead Sea scroll, after being left there as a paper weight. The family sued DC and the origin was changed. XD
