Topic	Why is Wonder Woman a War film?
ParanoidObsessive 06/07/17 12:51:56 PM #8:	Dikitain posted... I am not completely familiar with the source material, but didn't Wonder Woman start out as DC's answer to Captain America? Not necessarily DC's "answer" to Captain America, but yes, like 90% of Golden Age superheroes, she got her start in WWII because she was created in 1941. That being said, the movie likely moves her origin back to WWI as a deliberate attempt to avoid comparisons to Captain America, which sort of screws with her motivation a bit. But it's up to the individual to decide whether fighting in a war where every side is a murky grey is better or worse than fighting in a war where the sides look much more black and white. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:880593120] in Why is Won...
