Issue 179 – Have You Seen What They Did To Wonder Woman?
Some Gays be trippin’ about Wonder Woman up in here!
It’s required by law that, at least once a year, any podcasts having to do with comics and queerdom MUST record a show about Wonder Woman.
stevieD is joined by a round table of Wonder Woman know-it-alls….I mean fans, Brian Andersen, Darren Nowell, Randy Ham, and David Berger. The lads talk about what they do and don’t like about the latest Wonder Woman comics.

Maintaining that this is new universe where characters are being revamped is just a load of crap. Many titles kept going with no difference AT ALL except for numbering.
Wonder Woman’s comic book stayed where it was in sales because AND ONLY because DC comics rebooted it constantly and interupted every single creator’s thought since Perez. Her concepts and themes from the old run were never done well and contantly interupted by DC pulling her foundation from under her every couple of years.
The dude that keeps saying gays and fan’s didn’t buy it seems to live in a weird alternate universe. Seems like he feels dissapointed by gays alot and is applying his own personal take to the entire world. Needs treatment…
And too dude that says she needs a heroes journey! WHat DRUGS are you on? That’s the only storyline she has had for 15 years now ad naseum, repeated over and over…
And one more point…
You dance around the fact that WW is different from other titles in the cream cheese analogy and in many other comments.
Yes, she WAS different. She was pie a la mode on a dessert menu where every other option was a kind of cake. Why on earth, other than sexist driven reasons from the guys at DC, did the pie have to be replaced with another kind of cake and somehow think that REAL fans would pretend it’s still a kind of pie.. just because the label says PIE…
Why on earth does dude say he loves the character, when it IS NOT the same character? If they changed WW’s appearance to match Darth Vader and her characterization to match Harry Potter, would he still call it Wonder Woman and support the character, when it obviously isn’t the character anymore? Puzzling lack of logic there…
Wonder Woman will never, ever revert. This is the new starting point and if DC thinks they need to reboot her again when the sales lag after issue #7, they will only boot to edgier, darker side from here on out. Wonder Woman as a different kind of character who represents compassion, truth and as a symbol of feminism is dead forever. And folks who like this run and sanction is by making comments they intend to make them look sophistacted instead of truthfully staying loyal to the character’s foundation are as much to blame as DC editorial…
Obviously Wonder Woman’s fan base is composed entirely of DUDES!
Hiya Athony!
I’m “the dude” in question you keep calling out in your comments! Thanks for expressing your views on the chat! Like you, I’m entitled to my feelings and my opinions, though they might appear illogical to you (I’m not know of my logicalness, I agree), or seem that I’m on drugs (sadly I’m not, although I am considering taking a drug or two up, any recommendations), or that I need treatment (sadly you’re probably right, know of any good therapists?), or that I have some issue with gay things in my world view (I don’t believe I do but maybe drugs and theraphy can uncover something I appear to be missing) that basically everything I said was incorrect. It ’tis how I feel about Wondie and her new comic and I stand by it. That’s the beauty of being an American! We can express of different views and not be shot or stoned to death! Huzzah!
All my best!
‘The dude’
I honestly feel that the new fans of the DC 52 relaunch Wonder Woman are lot more interested in the interpretations of the gods and mythology as opposed to Wonder Woman herself who gets little panel time and honestly if you ask a new fan, they’re always talking about Zola, Eris, Hermes, Lennox, or any of the new age versions of the gods who are not much different from the gods in Rucka’s run. They barely even notice Wonder Woman, she’s just a fly on the wall. It’s John Byrne’s run all over again.
