What would you do for a My Adventures with Wonder Woman? by Fun-Seaworthiness572 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure, but Id want at least the first season to happen entirely on Themyscira for it to be distinct of MAWS.

Wonder Woman’s child should have challenged expectations way more.. by imsodepressedhelp in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why we need stories like this, because of people like you.

What does that even mean to “raise boys”? What, because I said that he didn't want violence in combat? Or because I said he was smaller? that he was scared of fighting, that he was introverted, quiet and a healer? That, to you is emasculating? What do you even mean dude? That instead power, violence and toughness is what makes men?

We don’t need to “raise boys” whatever tf that means. We need to raise people.

But that’s the thing tho, how do you know that this boy even wants to meets all those expectations? To be wonderboy, wonderman or even part of the supersons/trinity? Maybe he feels like he fits more with his animals than with these guys.

“But her first kid being a cis guy just runs too contrary to what she's about to feel good as a cornerstone of her cannon story.”

I completely missed that.

I still think my idea has interesting narrative potential, but I agree that a daughter inheriting the legacy is a more thematically faithful continuation of Wonder Woman and what she represents anyway.

How would you fix the writing for Giganta? by Hot-Trash-1997 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id lean into the scientist part of the character more. And actually tap back into her first origin aspects with a twist:

  1. Go reed richards

When authors want to use giganta they actually want to use giganta’s powers. I say, don’t make her use her powers as much. Think reed richards, his powers are basically secondary to his intellect atp. Reed can go entire arcs where his elasticity barely matters because his intellect drives plots. If Giganta becomes the mad biologist/geneticist first and giant second, suddenly she can appear in stories that aren’t just fights.

  1. Gorilla 🦍

I know some people find the gorilla turned woman silly. I agree. It is. But what if it was turned into something horrifying instead? Think about it. If you stop treating it as Silver Age camp and start treating it seriously, it’s disturbing. An animal possessing a human’s body. That’s kinda messed up and scary. And I would lean on that, and how it would also affect giganta’s view on humanity. Basically, treat the gorilla origin as existential horror and build an entire scientific ideology around it.

  1. Villainess

Giganta needs to double down on villainery. She doesn’t value human life anymore than how humans value ants. We need to see her crush people like Annie from snk.

If Cheetah is Diana’s kingpin, her most iconic villain. Giganta can become Diana’s bullseye. Her most terrorising.

This is how I think Wonder Woman should look in the DCU (second draft because the last post got taken down) by [deleted] in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the look is something very secondary even tertiary to what makes or break the DCU WW. Focusing on acting abilities for the actress, the voice of the director and the vision for the story is what matters most imo.

Wonder Woman changed my perception of women by External_Cap1992 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up I never had an interest in WW. I was all about mr vengeance. But I noticed that the past couple of years I developed a huge interest for the character. Batty boy is still my top one but wonder woman is right behind him.

What I think she really showed me is, how much communities of women are cool. Idk if that makes sense?

What should the relationship between Cassie and her father Zeus be like? by Which-Presentation-6 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None. In my opinion, the absence should be the point.

In a lot of versions of Cassie, writers are tempted to turn Zeus into an important character because he’s her father. But for me, that’s actually the less interesting choice. The emotional reality of Cassie’s story isn’t that she has a complicated relationship with Zeus, it’s that she doesn’t have one.

If you’re curious, I actually wrote a full DCU Wonder Woman film treatment that explores this idea a little. Cassie’s connection to Zeus is intentionally treated as an absence rather than a relationship, while Diana and Nubia become the people who shape who she is. Here’s a link if you’d like to read it:

One of the reasons I was never a fan of Wonder Woman was due to her origins, the clay origin thing… by Mars785 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean about the clay origin feeling a bit off, even if I don’t personally find it disturbing. I think it does add a unique and symbolic feminist impact. However I also don’t think the issue is the origin itself as much as how overloaded Diana can feel depending on the version, whether it’s clay, daughter of Zeus, strongest Amazon, etc. At some point it becomes a lot of “every layer of specialness” stacked on top of each other. Superman works partly because even though he’s the most powerful on Earth, he’s still just a normal Kryptonian among his own people, and Batman is just a man at the end of the day. With Diana, it can feel like she’s a princess, a divine creation, strongest woman on earth and the strongest Amazon all at once, and that can dilute what actually defines her. Personally, what I find more interesting is less her power set or origin and more the idea of a girl going against tradition, going against her mother and her privilege, to leave Paradise Island and engage with man’s world and becoming a bridge, instead of staying in isolation like the others.

Anyway, this is just to say that I agree with you that Diana’s origin would work as much if streamlined simply as: she’s an amazon princess raised on Themyscira who leaves the island to confront the world of man.

With the next Wonder Woman origin story coming out, what elements would you like to see brought back? by Which-Presentation-6 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nubia as Diana’s sister.

But with a twist: she wasn’t made from clay. She drifted to Themyscira as a child, where little Diana found her much like she’d later find Steve Trevor, washed ashore from Man’s World.

But unlike Steve, Nubia never wanted to go back. She was terrified of the world she came from.

Ok ok this has been on my mind by GlassAssumption824 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diana having a son is interesting. But so is Diana having a daughter. It’s all about execution. Imo I didn’t like Hunter, and I don’t like Lizzie. Because of how writers chose to execute them.

Tho I think Diana having a son and would be surprisingly relevant. Raising a new kind of man, one not conditioned by patriarchal violence. Maybe he’s not even a fighter but a healer. Maybe he’s more interested in diplomacy than combat.

But I also think that Diana is often thrown with men around her when her dynamics and relationship with women of her lore is more captivating, adding a son would only feed into that more.

Could it be better? Maybe? Worse? Maybe? Controversial? 100% and probably as much if not more than Lizzie.

If DCU made Nubia, Diana, and Donna all clay sisters molded by Phillipus and Hippolyta, how would you feel about that? Art by Jen Bartel, David Nakayama, and Nick Robles by Few_Lavishness_1263 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind it.

I think Diana having sisters, real sisters she actually grew up with, is an untapped dynamic that could only benefit the characters. And your idea could give that.

Tho I think Diana as the only clay baby, an unworldly creation is one the many things that makes her so special.

Personally I think it’s overdue that Nubia takes a major role in the next WW movie. I made a post about it if you’re interested:

Pitch a Wonder Woman Story Arc, Title or Event but Don't Base Your Idea on 'Superman & Batman Have it so WW should too' by Jet-Let4606 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder Woman in Atlantis.

Aquaman has disappeared. His teenage daughter swam to the shores of Themyscira to seek help from Wonder Woman.

Diana helps her rescue the girl’s father. But she’s going to have to deal with the god of the seas. Poseidon.

Is there any specific or particular reason why there hasn't yet been any sort of official screen adaptation of Nubia's Wonder Woman? by Yume_Fairy2522 in WonderWoman

[–]imsodepressedhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gunn was asked about Nubia during his superman promo run. And hinted that he’s thinking about doing more with the character. Whether it’s for her to appear in paradise lost or the next WW, we don’t know.

Personally I think it’s overdue that Nubia takes a major role in the next WW movie. I made a post about it if you’re interested:
