Because there's no desperate rush to run back and tell stories in her "fish out of water" years like every new WW writer does.
>>156114879I think her personality just works better when she's an underdog facing overwhelming odds instead of an established hero with an island nation of warriors to fall back on. As a non-fan, regular WW can be kinda grating
Absolute Cringe
>>156114879>kelly thompson is the best wonder woman writer since...
>>156114879Because I'm more sexualy attracted to her than the mainline one.
Main book is being written by Tom King.
>>156114879Fight likr original trilogy Kratos but is fun or calm to be around when not fighting
>>156114879she is alone, and not with a city full of super-science amazons
>>156114966>>156115720This.WW (normal version) alone is fine, but Themyscira is not. Themyscira with its shameless, divinely-approved female supremacism is an extremely offputting concept if you don't have a femdom fetish, and it turns WW into a shit character just because she's associated with it.
>>156114879Yeah uh have Abs WW wear >>156115882 except y'know her hair, color scheme, and larger muscles/frame are retained. Then she'd be absolute SEX.
>>156114879One works now and the other has worked for decadesThe problem is that the other is now being written by Tom King
>>156116043His last issue is in December.
>>156116043who's up after him? I am completely checked out of mainline DC
>>156114879Main Wonder Woman is an example some of the worst aspects of comic book writing. Every new writer thinks they are going write "the run" of Wonder Woman and throws away everything the previous writer did.
>>156116220veteran Louise Simonson
>>156114879>Why does Absolute Wonder Woman work and not main Wonder Womanshe's just a much nicer person and more likeable than regular Wonder Woman
Why the black lipstick? Is she some type of mega-whore?
>>156114879It works marginally better because Absolute Diana isn't constantly trying to womansplain about refugees, minorities, "patriarchs world", and other stupid retard stuff that ancient Greeks wouldn't gaf about.
>>156114879shes a sexy witch musclegirl who fights for love and compassion in a shitty world.regular wonder woman is just a jewish couples fetish oc nobody cares about.
>>156116851Black lipstick is mainstream now. Like tattoos.
>>156114879Tom King
>>156116851Only for Zatana
>>156114879Cause she's cooler and doesn't feel bound by Greek mythology or weirdly fetishistic characters
>>156116320Legit the only cool thing I can remember WW doing in recent memory was blinding herself to fight Medusa. Which was probably a decade ago.
>>156117109If anything she feels more mythological now in a good way, her hair in book looks like it would on Greek pottery
>>156116869She is in a war against all the male gods of the Greek pantheon except for Prometheus
>>156117170So what? Fuck em. I did forget though the Absolute WW makes all the female gods out to be victims. lmao
>>156117170>except for Prometheusdidn't Hades have a heel turn
>>156114879Nice art
>>156117197Yeah the one throughline you can find in all of Greek myth and its reinterpretations is Zeus being irredeemable except for his battle with Kronos
>>156117211Hades forced her to fight in his colosseum and kill, Diana wants his head arguably harder than Zeus or Poseidon (who is a confirmed rapist in this universe)
>>156116320You say this...while posting a version of WW that is exactly that...and should be an entirely new character. As a matter of fact she just looks like that bull dyke from that crappy castlevania netflix cartoon with a Gats sword. Which might be why that certain group likes her and how butch/tranny coded she is.
>>156117331Absolute WW does lean into the compassion and diplomacy though
>>156117129Bitch anon. That was 20 years ago.
fad
>>156114879Absolute Wonder Woman is shit compared to Golden Age Wonder Woman though
>>156117586>is shit compared to Golden Age Wonder Womanwasn't that just a bunch of cheesy fetish bait
>>156117593why don't you find out
>>156115289wait, STILL?
>>156117646His last issue is in December.
>>156117756I haven't read a comic in over a year but his very first issue of WW was hot garbage so I would have figured he wouldn't last even half as long.
>>156117778that was the peak of his run
>>156117331How many time has absolute Wonder Woman been retconed?
>>156117833We’ll see what happens when Kelly Thompson’s run ends
>>156114879Big sword, she does magic, there is no amazon island
>>156116869Absolute Diana does lots of preaching
>>156117881I’ve only read the first two volumes, most of it is her trying to talk someone down from a fight she doesn’t want to have, she doesn’t preach to the military about the tetracide, it’s a reality check
>>156114879this mogs curret ww as a warrior goddess
>>156114879I just want Tom King off of Wonder Woman already. No more Rucka's, Perez's, or any of these other useless fucks.
>>156114879Because of the buster sword.
>>156118194His last issue is in December.
>>156118246Jesus literally giving us a Christmas present for His birthday celebration. Thank you, Jesus!
>>156114879Lol I dunno
>>156114879They actually let Diana be cool and badass, big ass anime sword, and something actually new and experimental with Diana.
>>156119368So what can be done with main Diana to increase her popularity?
>>156115882
>>156114879
>>156114879Mucha ropa
>>156114879Regular WW has had mid after mid runs
>>156120579>midshit*
>what if Berserk was a girl
Kelly Thompson has confirmed that Diana and Steve will not be a thing, maybe anons were right about him acting a bit too zesty
>>156121788stupid bitch
>>156121788damn, so is diana not gonna have a love interest or will she actually end up with zatanna or something?
>>156121883I think kelly pretty much said she's wants to do dianaxzatana but that is ultimately down to if editorial will allow it
>>156121951>but that is ultimately down to if editorial will allow itthey better shoot it down
>>156114879absolute Wondy has bigger than life adventuresRegular wondy has kind of boring adventures
>>156121951they better shoot it up
>>156114879Because Absolute Wonder Woman is actually written like the character is supposed to be while mainline suffers from writer infighting on canon and a misguided need to reinvent what aint broke
>>156121788There was clearly set up for it early on when they were in hell. Oh well.
>>156123358Hot but Diana is supposed to be XBOX HUEG. That's part of her appeal. Also this image needs more pixels.
>>156123617Diana is covering Zatanna's mouth because she just said, "Eb a etuc emmef mottob."
>>156122094you better kill yourself
>>156114879Big swordSkull horseRobot armGrecian faceIs nice
>>156115882>>156115968really want 9' tall thicc WW in her classic outfit
>>156114879>>156119895Absolute anime Wonder Primarch is my favorite version of the character ever ever. So far the book is as fantastic as she is and just blows the main line Wondy title out of the water which is something I never thought I'd say.
>>156117463Doesn't regular WW do that by default?
>>156117905>she doesn’t preach to the military about the tetracideNeither does mainline Diana
>>156123617I got you. Direct from the artist's IG
>>156114879Better design and weapon
>>156123617I wonder what Barbara is going to look like when Diana gets her to chill her ass out at the end of this arc?
>>156121666So we're getting a rape arc?
>>156121666Isn't that just Claymore?
>>156114879They actually give her a field to work with.Superman is Strange tales with super science and aliensBatman is gritty crime and horror in shadowsWonde woman is kinda just there, fighting whatever the current writer says. Now she has the magical things sector (a field she should've been in for a while) and now she's doing things instead of being "for the women"
>>156128464Yep.Steve is gonna get raped by Grail or some other villainess and Diana is going to watch
>>156128738Thought that was Nana
>>156126167Its more the writers preaching than diana
>>156121788>strongest title
>>156114879Thompson actually likes Wonder Woman, and writes Absolute Diana like normal Diana is supposed to be. It's really that simple.
>>156121788Diana and Steve being platonic is more interesting as a story
>>156121788Practically everyone is horny for Absolute Diana, and they are correct.
>>156128399
I wanna see her with the robot arm more
>>156130611There's a plot reason for that to be fair
>>156114879Absolute "works" because every book is built on shallow hype bullshit which retards eat up.
>>156130936I'm sorry New 52 shitted and flopped
>>156130936Still better than new 52
What about Trinity?
>>156114966>>1561158081/2All comic book heroes change over time, but WW is a good example of little to none of the core of the original character remainingWW was literally written by a bondage loving feminist, who had the psychosexual belief of bondage as a positive thing that could change the world. The earliest adventures of WW are very...playful. Yes, Diana got tied up all the time, but so to did Diana tie the villains up. Her lasso bound them to her and compelled them to tell the truth - an important aspect of BDSM - literally making people confess their true desires in a safe context. Im not shitting you. Diana only makes sense as a dommy mommy, but not one that steps on you and beats you up, but as one that understands and respects your feelings. The act of being tied up is the same as liberation. Ever since Diana has become more of a warrior, they have emphasized her violence. Her sword is her main weapon (literally a phallic object) and shes become a killer - what? Og Diana was literally a playful mythology figure that tied up the silly naughty men and made them confess to being bad boys. She wasnt some roided up psycho warrior who enjoys violence but is traumatized FUCK YOU TOM KINGSay what you want about Gal Gadot - but she is a MUCH closer adaptation to the original Diana than any WW adaptation in the last 50 years (save Absolute Wonder Woman)Modern Diana is always punching down. Shes literally a warrior princess with a fucking Amazon army who kills people. Anything she does is with the context of violence she can do to you. Where is her love, her compassion? Diana lost her capacity for mercy, and the ability to change others with her magic BDSM. How can she be a feminist icon when shes defined by so much masculinity- her sword, her muscles, her anger? Theres no respect for femininity, for the woman who have to rely on things other than violence and sttength.
>>1561320712/2The reason Absolute WW works is because shes a fucking bdsm dommy mommy, but one that hugs you until you cry. I forgot the comic, but the one where she tells the whole city what she plans on doing for her big plan and asks her to trust them (picrel) - thats Diana! This is BDSM! Shes in charge, she asks for your consent, and its a GOOD thingWonder Woman believes in (You)! Absolute Diana is an interesting character because shes defined by her compassion and not violence, because she embraces magic and unconventional solutions that defined her early career, and because shes fucking smart and people orienated and not a raging bitch. And yes - because shes a fucking bdsm queen; but its hard as fuck to translate this to modern day comics, so they just write Diana as being NICE and people go ARF ARF AWOOGADIANA CAN BE STRONG AS FUCK AND STILL FEMININEDIANAS PEOPLE SKILLS MATTER THAN MORE THAN HER COMBAT SKILLSDIANA SHOULD USE HER LASSO OR MAGIC OR POWER OF LOVE TO DEFEAT PEOPLE AND NOT HER SWORDFUCK YOU TOM KING
>>156132090>>156132071I can’t wait for her to fix absolute supes
>>156130141this guy really thinks this is something new
>>156131899Who
>>156132273
>>156132865Her daughter
>>156124037cope
>>156121788I've been saying for a while now but there is a noticable disconnect between how Thompson writes then and Sherman draws them with Sherman really being into DianaxSteve
>>156121951Unironically have some balls and have her fuck both Zatana and Steve
>>156135429The twist is Zatana has a bigger dick than Steve
>>156114879>Why does Absolute Wonder Woman work and not main Wonder Woman?The writers just haven't fucked up yet.
>>156115882I'm only just now processing that her Absolute costume is both of these combined.
>>156130958>>156130959New 52 being bad doesn't make Absolute good you mongoloids.
>>156136057Absolute is fun and doesn’t affect mainline continuity in any way
>>156115808That's part of why Azzarello was so good, he made Themyscira a pretty objectively shitty place
>>156132071>Modern Diana is always punching down.>Anything she does is with the context of violence she can do to you.>Where is her love, her compassion?>How can she be a feminist icon when shes defined by so much masculinity- her sword, her muscles, her anger?Have you never heard of the term 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'. Feminists are a wicked evil bunch. If anything, the more vindictive and cold she becomes, the closer she gets to being a feminist.I think most people mistake a heroic figure for a feminist one. Feminists are by their nature adversarial towards men because they are men. If you don't believe me, just look at everything they have done throughout history and you will find nothing in the name of men alone.
>>156136593Yeah if you’re a Dwarkinite, which is like saying Christians are all primitivists because a few are Amish or mennonites
>>156136975Again, all feminists are adversarial towards men because they are men. I have never seen a feminist help men as a group selflessly.
>>156137015I guess I’ve only ever met fake or revisionist feminists irl
>>156130611God this art sucks. I thought DC was where all the good artists went? Why does this look like it's drawn by one of the artists that does those cheap comic adaptations of Shakespeare plays?
>>156139014
>>156114879Big dommy mommy milkers
>>156125198Normal WW flip flops between wise sage and prince vegeta on an hourly basis. AWW has been Mr Roger's from hell since the run started.
