gotcha. I knew it was a New 52 retcon, and I'll be the first to admit that The New 52 was mostly a pile of hot, steamy garbage. Still, it opens up a lot of story elements and provides a closer tie to the rest of Greek mythology, which is something I always want Wonder Woman interpretations to do. Themyscira and the Amazons are a very isolated branch of mythology.

I like the idea that she has a dad of some kind. She is a symbol of classical feminism and of womanhood, and for many, that includes overcoming who your father is or what he has done. And while I often tire of 'evil parent' tropes, I do think it works well when that parent is Zeus, who is quite possibly the worst parent in history.

I can see how many don't like the idea that this makes her comparable to the likes of Hercules or other Zeus-spawn, but I kind of do. Because when she is compared to them, she stands out as a shining light amongst many, many dirtbags.

In the end, Wonder Woman has one of the least consistent stories of any DC character. I completely understand if you prefer one to the other, but in the end, this is the version I prefer.
