Should she be able to fly (without her invisible jet) or not, Zig Forums?
This power is on and off frequently. She can fly in DC Jutice League Action and many DCAU movies but can't in live action movies (unless the last scene in her solo movie means she can) or DC Super Hero Girl.
Should she? Should she not? Maybe there's too many herors that can fly?
She was able to fly in Perez’s run, it’s fine to have that ability AND the invisible jet. It’s not like she can fly around the world like Superman so it’s a non issue.
As for the bulletproof thing , I disagree. The speculated “Phallic Weakness” is the perfect Achilles Heel. It’s the perfect explanation as to how she can tank bombs and super punches, but needs to deflect bullets with her bracelets

I'm actually completely fine with her not flying after seeing the recent movies. Helps distinguish her from Superman and you can start solidifying her brand in the public first and foremost as a fighter instead of the chick that flies and punches things hard and if she can just be Superman, why does she bother fighting on the ground at all. Sometimes its addition by subtraction.
Nicholas Cruz
But doesn't that (the ability to fly) make her just another "superwoman" iteration? I must say I am not sure. WW is supposee to be most powerful heroine so she should be able to fly but then it's always nice to have some differences between superheroes. And so many of them can fly nowadays it's riddiculous.
Xavier Scott
>make her just another "superwoman" iteration? No. By that logic everyone who flies is “too much like Superman”, which is a dumb complaint. Like I said, the jet is still useful, and makes her unique.
>Should she be able to fly NO. She uses Hermes's shoes wings.
Julian Parker
That’s were she gets her flight from, dumbass. It’s not literally wearing his shoes though
Justin Long
it could be ncie though, she can only fly if she's wearing these shoes, and even then she cant zoom and zip around, she's quick but no faster than hawkman maybe, so the plane is still useful
In her case, it's a lot different. No one will say the others are Superman clones because they don't seem that alike to begin with. They've made her intentionally similar more and more closer to Superman so they can sell them as a couple. In DC's mind, similar colors, similar powers, nice people. Bam people will love them together.
>bullet proof That defeats the point of Bullets and bracelets.
Wonder Woman was always meant to be peak human, but somewhere long the way everyone decided that she should basically just be SuperWoman because muh female empowerment.
John Walker
Why does Superman bother to fight on the ground at all? Why not just eye laser everyone from half a mile up?
Overlapping powersets is not an issue, by your own argument the issue is how she's being characterized. Depowering her won't fix that.
Camden Miller
But Hermes is a god, if she's using his speed she should at the very least be as fast as Shazam
Jack King
>Why does Superman bother to fight on the ground at all? Why not just eye laser everyone from half a mile up? because he isn't Zod you edgy
Carter Howard
>But Hermes is a god, if she's using his speed she should at the very least be as fast as Shazam Hermes shoes were gifts. She can just fly. It wa slike that in Perez run
Alexander Jackson
Blame Marston, who didn't give a shit about powerlevel consistency and who gave her "not-flight." Bullets and bracelets can simply be a visual thing. The whole "phallic weakness" is just a shitty excuse for the sake of making an oblique sex joke.
Grayson Jenkins
who's her best villain? Ares, Circe or Cheetah? the correct answer is her writers but that's a non-answer
based Marston not making her a simple female Superman
Angel Long
You don't have to kill anyone with eye lasers.
Ryan Morris
- Feather Fall, jumping and running fast, not flight. - Lasso, not sword & shield, no fucking guns. - Not a Goddess, but still a homunculus and a princess. - Peak human with a magic system that makes Amazons seem super-human. - Unitard or skirt/culottes, not pants.
They really need to bring back the spiritualist aspect of Dr. Psycho.
Tyler Clark
I have no fucking idea what you're talking about. I know Bullets and Bracelets from the old Wonder Woman TV show. The whole reason she deflects bullets with the bracelets is because she's not bulletproof.
>Super strong (can lift ships, rockets, massive objects easily) >Cant fly but can jump really high >No super speed, but lightning fast reflexes (can use bracelets to deflect Superman's heat vision etc) >Bullets wont penetrate her, but she'll take impact damage which adds up if shes keeps tanking shots >Has armor which can enhance her abilities or grant her new ones, but uses it only on very special occasions Easy
Her being a demi-goddess, her sword and shield were nice additions.
Hunter Rogers
Can’t you read? Have you read Wonder Woman at all? We’ve seen examples of her tanking strong metahuman hits before. The piercing weakness is a good compromise
Colton Myers
I really enjoy how the old comics have such whimsical and BRIEF explanations for why things work the way they do.
Dominic Turner
Remove flight and give her superhuman durability that is capable of tanking ordinary blades and bullets. DC already got too many flying bricks. Make Diana a running brick instead.
