Wonder Woman Rebirth is happening for a very specific reason, Azzarello pissed off a lot of core fans by wrecking Wonder Woman's mythos. The fact you're annoyed by Rucka returning to clean up the mess is irrelevant. You're not a fan of Wonder Woman you're a fan of Azzarello. It's not surprising that you're upset by his run being undone now, nor that you're ignorant of the drastic revisions Meredith Finch already made. You left the title when he did so the dog you had in the fight is dead. Pick up the carcass and go back home. You've lost.

Without Year One you don't know about the tree, without The Lies you don't know about Femyscira. Together they're intertwined intrinsically.

No I'm not clairvoyant, I can read and no it wasn't me that made the prediction, it was another poster afterwards there was debate about the accuracy which caused me to reread and agree.

That same issue we learn Zola is pregnant by Zeus and with him missing it's not a leap to make the assumption he's the child because the oracles tell you he doesn't exist yet.

It's happening because they need to do something drastic and get new readers on books. It's happening because New 52 Superman is dead and they wanna bury that aspect and move on. It's happening because Rucka lacks the imagination to continue what Azz set up. You're right, I'm not a WW fan like you, I'm just a man commenting on lazy retconning for the sake of lazy retconning. For the most part, I really don't give a shit and I tend to believe in the phrase, revenge is a dish best served cold. I just felt like razzing you for trashing a well rounded character like Ares, and it descended into this. In the end, none of this matters.... nothing matters at all.

My attacks mostly stem from a creative stand point. Not from some overstep in my claiming to be a huge WW fan.

@scorpio_cassadine: And your first thought was that Zeus had crawled into Zola? Bullshit.

This thread is full of some really hateful people who refuse to see anything positive and will not accept change of any kind. I accepted New 52 Wonder Woman when the whole line rebooted. I accepted Finches shitty run {past the first issue which was actually good}, and now I am accepting that Rebirth Diana is different once again. Why? Because there isn't anything we can do about it and being hateful and fighting with others is what makes me want to "blow my brains out", not the fact that one creative genius doesn't want to follow or continue the story of another creative genius or that some vague info is taken out of proportion.

Oh wow that facial art on the cover is terrible. Makes her look like a man.

That's such a reasonable and thoughtful response loaded with exposition *sarcasm* apparently you don't understand mythology or even the words coming from the oracle's mouths, so of course you fail to see their significance.

I'd expect nothing less from someone that doesn't understand the intricacies of lose vs. loose. Just so you'll know, and one day your children will know, here are pictures to clarify it for you.

Yes, because you have, for as long as I have seen you posting on these boards, shown yourself to be a world-class intellect and detective who can at any moment deduce the outcome of a story by reading the first issue.

You are so full of it.

Hell compared to you I'm Batman

Anything can be made into a cliche if you simplify it like that (you could do that with game of thrones, which funnily enough is what I compare Azz's run to). In fact, almost every story has been done and something is copying something. What makes them intriguing to read is the dynamics between the characters and the worldbuilding around them. To me, there was still more that could have been mined from this new setting.

But you know what, I'm willing to learn. Exactly what does WW not having a dad bring to the table? It seems like it's just some overhyped Feminist thing. I gave it some thought, and there is a story or two that could be done with it (albeit more for conflict than some source of female inspiration). So please, educate me.

PS- It seems like with every decade that passes, more and more people will make WW have a dad. She had one in the JL animated series, and she had one in Grant's Earth One (and that's coming from a guy who kept saying that people are getting Martson's original vision wrong, so it's weird that he'd do that) and obviously Azz's (she may or may not have a dad in the DCEU or like Archi said, her powers come from Zeus which still goes against your argument). WW being made from Clay isn't sexy, and sex sells.

I haven't read much WW, but I'm pretty sure the whole angry son thing can also be chalked up to Pre 52 Ares. Also, he is the God of War. War=Bad, so that means he's bad. Pre 52 Ares is a Cliche, @Confirmed.
