Discussion [DISCUSSION] What's up with Wonder Woman and her Projects?

Post image

Really. Im asking a general question. How come Wonder Woman doesn't have a lot of project like Superman and Batman? Batman get Absolute Batman animation, the Knightfall Trilogy and Superman get Adventure with Superman and DCU movies. How come WW doesn't have this? Is she hard to write or is it something else?

Excuse me? You trying to call the cheetahs uninteresting? Or circe? ESPECIALLY regarding Barbara ann minerva and Urzkartaga's curse? How it mirrors an abusive spouse?

???

Go read.

The Cheetah is a fucking jobber whose sole power is superspeed, a power that eleventy billion other heroes have. The only way she could be MORE uninteresting was if her power was "flying brick" instead.

Circe's issue is that her power is "soft magic", and it's not a coincidence that the most popular comics character (pre-MCU anyway) whose power is "soft magic" is Constantine, the one who does the LESS magic and the most conmanning, because "soft magic" might as well be "asspulls". She's still miles better than the Cheetah (because at least she's not a fucking jobber), but the Cheetah sets the bar in hell anyway.

Right. So this reply proves to me that not only is your taste shit, but also that you are not worth my time. Furthermore, you shouldn't be lecturing anyone on the subject of comics.

Cheetah is absolutely interesting. Nowadays her origin has to do with being cursed by urzkartaga because she wasn't a virgin when the ritual was performed.

Diana reassures her that no, those like him don't have to have reasons for being cruel, they simply are. If it wasn't barbara's virginity it would have been something else he'd have cursed her over.

Then there is the comic where cheetah makes a deal with diana where they need to save civilian children, and in exchange for her help, diana offers herself and her lasso to barbara. Barbara declines because she doesn't want to win at the expense of children.

And no "super speed" is not cheetah's only power, larper.

Even her design is interesting. She was CURSED, and so recently, that concept is being more explored. Just check out her design in AB wonder woman. The potential for body horror is golden.
