Now this is more like it. We see Diana in her private life (e.g. she attends some type of club at least weekly) and how kind she was to a homeless person; I love those sandals; he got himself a nice hand full. I hope the rest of the issue is as good and it does not go downhill from here (e.g. by diving too much into more Greek Mythology). This issue was like a mix of Messner-Loebs and Greg Rucka.

You would be cool if the writer and/or the artist stopped sexualize Wonder Woman, it doesnt make it her being a better characther even if she beated the douchebag and probably taught him lesson in the end.

So Wonder Woman in your opinion isn't allowed to wear a short dress? Really?

@dondave: I wasnt talking about the dress. But this run, people loves put Wonder Woman in sexualize poses specially butt shots even when she fightning. And the dress actually covers more than her last costume (not counting footwear).

its still the finches so its gone suck

Why did you crop out Wonder Woman's judo throw on that douchebag, were we supposed to think she enjoyed that?

@brunnhilde: "he got himself a nice hand full." probably what they wanted us to think

But, didn't you like it? Just having fun. If only I were the writer or, at least, a consultant. Love those shoes.

Gail Simone tweeted that she got a lot of requests to put Wonder Woman in situations of complete submission and mind-control where she's helpless and basically being raped, which totally explains dshipp's fixation with Dr. Psycho.

@brunnhilde: yikes

She thinks she's Ronda Rousey now lol. I personally don't feel this scene was oversexualized. Just a man hitting on her and she wasn't having it.

@justthatkid: Showing skin doesnt mean being sexualized.

Just stop. You're beyond reaching, you're sounding silly.

And yeah, whoever said this issue would suck because it's the Finches was right. What homeless persons speaks in such fake and cliched way? "milady"? Really? It's like they're not even trying.

@scorpio_cassadine: It´s is true being naked doesnt mean you are sexualized unless the person or that characther are poses that are sexualize, in fact a person or a characther can be sexualized if he/she/it wearing lot of clothes or clothes covering the intered body. The problem with N52 Starfire was online because she wearing bikini as costume but also because in several panels her boobs and her butt it would be showcase as her main feature even she was doing impossible poses.

While I think her decking of the repeated offender Orion was perfectly fine (since he had 2 warnings), I don't think it was needed for her to toss this guy around, lifting him off the ground would probably have done it.

@somayareece: So she body-slammed the guy. She's just coming off as having anger management issues, Wonder Woman needs to sort herself out

@justthatkid: The way Wonder Woman handled that sleazebag was incredibly disproportionate though. If a man body-slammed a woman just because she grabbed his arse, they would throw him in jail. If this is how they're gonna have Wonder Woman deal with these situations, I'd rather she didn't deal with them at all.

@justthatkid: Yeah, what she did was going by nice in the situation. She could of just broke his arm and fracture his ribcage if she wanted to.

Out of curiosity what would you have her do in the situation?

Personally I think it's another example of extremely poor writing ... setting up the scene in a totally unrealistic way simply to show her kick a dude's ass for being a pig. Could have been a much more subtle scene where he said something piggish and she used her words to put him in his place.

@justthatkid: I dont think that N52 had to deal with issue dealing with women´s issues so far. Sexualizing a characther doesnt mean she would in underwear or short characthers. You can sexualize a characther with full body suit alike Catwoman or Black Cat and i was talking about boobs and butts shots which has been a regular thing with this run.

The question was directed to @brunnhilde, but I see that when I quoted her post you were also replied to :)

I don't know if I "disapprove" of the scene so much as simply think it's stupid. What purpose does it serve? Why did it require physical violence or physical harassment in the form of a butt-grope? I suppose it's just too "on the nose" for me to find it interesting.

@justthatkid: It was exemple even thought they dont use how to use a zipper.

@csg_cl: Wont judge that scene until i read the issue but probably the scene of bar will probably useless to the story unless they brought that issue later on story or that unnamed guy reappears and something more important to the plot.

You know between this scene, the one with Orion and Hal calling 'dibs' on her in J.L, it just feels like the writers just want to show Diana is being objectified or sexually harassed without actually being thoughtful, sensitive or mature about it. She either ignores it or she ends the matter with violence. If you're not going to do anything meaningful with topics like this, then don't include them in your stories.

Reminds me of all Zack Snyder movies

@justthatkid: Between doing nothing and throwing him on the floor with a loud 'WHAM', there are a good many ways in which she could've dealt with this man. Or we could've just done without this scene, the Finches and their bland, ham-fisted rubbish.

@csg_cl: I wouldn't go all kung fu panda like Wonder Woman, I think I'd push him away, tell him to back off and pray he'd just go away. If not, I'd punch him where it counts and run. But I feel bad for Finch, she just took this one-in-a-life-time opportunity bestowed upon her by the powers-that-be, it's their fault.

This is how I feel ... she could have used her words or Finch could have just not included it as it served zero purpose. Would have been much better if the dude had been a fanboy and was totally respectful to her from the beginning. "OMG are you WW??? I love you!!!" She could then have been gracious and danced with him, showing that women can in fact earn a man's respect just by being who they are.

I disagree; that scene was the best scene in a Wonder Woman comic in quite some time and it served the purpose of generating some interest in the comic again; that scene was very creative. Your alternative is not a good suggested correction at all; were trying to generate excitement not continue to spew out bland wasted page place for fear of offending an audience that's basically been allowed to intrude into comics and control the direction in such a way that the original audience is no longer interested or barely so. Looks like they may have heard comments like this and sunk the rest of the issue; because of this scene, I actually purchased the comic after a while, but than got let down by the rest of the issue. Did the rest of the issue serve a great purpose for you?

who said anything about it "offending an audience" I just don't think WW would handle the situation like the Finch story line went. I don't know what you are talking about since the issue itself only went on sale this morning. I actually think it's the best issue the Finch's have produced (not saying a ton). The club scene has zero relevance to the story and could have been cut/replaced with any other filler story to get the point across without resorting to such on the nose storytelling.

I'm sorry, that scene was so unnecessary and poorly done. It only served to make Diana look worse than the dude she body slammed. That's the thing, Meredith has no understanding of subtlety or nuance. She just bangs out anything and thinks it's going to fly because she's writing a comic book.

The story should start revolving around that scene; the story is bland but that scene was exciting; that was kinda my point, but saying it in a less blunt manner; in other wards, it's the story that can be cut and replaced. However, that's my taste, but you and others may have a taste for the story; for a comic book audience, it's bland; too focused on continuing the last writer's heavy focus on Greek Mythology which has been way wore out.

I agree that the story was bland ... the whole Finch run has been ... but that scene wasn't interesting or exciting to me in any way. She threw a j@ck@ss across a dance floor and had some inane conversation with her friend. Not much to it really.

Creative? It's the same generic "woman gets hit on by a man in a somewhat sleazy manner", and to soothe the insecurities of the audience, proceeds to physically attack him to show off how tough she is. This is an incredibly common and lazy trope.

Also:

(we're) trying to generate excitement not continue to spew out bland wasted page place for fear of offending an audience that's basically been allowed to intrude into comics and control the direction in such a way that the original audience is no longer interested or barely so.

Feminists?
