@jphulk26: i said comic females,how many marvel or DC females were successful with their movies?,nobody,wonder woman comic from 2006-2009 was successful,many of her issues sold 60.000 in the US,plust the sales of the resst of the world,she could have sold even more with more promotion and exposure outside the comics,like a run being atapted into an animated series.
and wonder woman has a vulnerability against piercing weapons but she is very durable against everything else.
I know she´s really durable, and I know she can slug it out with the best of them, but she does have weaknesses. Magic weapons harm her, all though she´s incredibly strong Krytonian level strength and durability is beyond her, she can be pierced or stabbed, people can use her friends or the weak to get to her etc, toxins or poisons can also harm her so she does have weaknesses. I don´t think she needs depowering is what I´m saying. I like her because often when faced with stronger opponents she uses her warrior skill, strategy and wisdom to defeat them. She can out smart and out fight those more powerful than her and thats why she´s cool, but come on I know how powerful she is and how DC are always depowering her. It pisses me off just as much. Her magic weapons aren´t used often enough like her sword of haefestus that split an atom and cut even the most invulnerable beings, her ability to empathise with animals and use animals of the hunt like wolfs and eagles as part of her strategy isn´t used enough, the fact that psychic illusions can´t be used against her, her healing ability given to her by Gaiae, where she can purify herself if she merges with the Earth, but only if its actual Earth, that is never used, which is why her durability being less makes sense and the fact she can be pierced by bullets and stuff, cause she´s suppossed to have a high healing factor, sometimes they make it so she can´t fly, an invisible jet is suppossedly stupid because she can fly so they say she doesn´t need it, ignoring the fact though that its actually stupid that Superman flies Lois Lane right into high altitudes in heights of the atmosphere where the air is so thin it would kill her or any other normal human being, so in fact it makes sense if Wonder woman wants to fly others apart from her self that she has transport. It could be repackaged as a stealth jet as well she could use it on missions where she doesn´t want to be detected, so I don´t see the problem with it coming out every once in a while without embarrassing sniggers, why is Batmans Bat plane so cool but a stealth jet isn´t. She also has the ability to mimic other people voices like Terminator robot, again a power never used, that could be a useful power in terms of infiltration and covert operations. It is not silly in the slightest either, but people say it is when it comes to WW, but when The Terminator does it, somehow it magically becomes cool. People have a problem with powerful women, especially comic fans and writers for some reason. I think WW powers and vulnerabilities are just fine and if her full power set was used more often people would see just how different she is from Superman. But of course writers mocking laugh, "oh wonder talks to animals, how lame" and I just say sacastically "Yeah, so lame that she can use her communian with Earth and nature, to gain the assistance of all hunting animals, so if she needs she can set a pack wolves on you or sharks. Yeah totally lame power." or "again "stealth jet" people start smirking - why? - I ask if you could own a stealth jet, packed with weapons, that you could control with your mind, would you rather have that or the bat mobile? Again mimicking others voices is mocked, and then I remind them how useful that can be like how terminator used it, and in fact I remind them how silly Supermans freeze breath is on first thought, but actually its a very useful power in application. My point is WW has vulnerabilities that differ her power set from superman, that are consistent with the character and that I personally like, because if written properly it presents her with obstacles, puts her in peril, and allows her to use other methods than brute strength like her fighting style and strategy to take out opponents. @darkman61288: @Pokeysteve: @knighthood:
