I can't fucking stand this overpowered Mary Sue piece of shit. Boring character, boring OP power set, no weaknesses, hasn't jobbed to any other hero in years, has no real flaws, shit tier supporting characters, has no great and iconic stories about her.

Why does Wonder Woman completely suck as a character.

DC Editorial has very little vision for the character and has no desire to make her relevant or interesting. They don't want a challenging, complex Wonder Woman with memorable stories, they want an action figure they can pose and boast about as an icon, no matter how dusty she is.

Nobody seems to address the fact that Wonder Woman has the Overpowered issue more than Superman. She has almost similar stats, but had no weakness, and is the best melee fighter.

I truly dont understand why Superman gets criticized all the time for being OP, but she doesnt. It's blatantly obvious she is ABSURDLY fucking powerful.
>>
>>78075316
I always thought a big aspect of her series sucking was that she never had any villains that were worth a shit.

She has like 2 that are okay but then there are about 10 more that are just fucking awful but are kept around because they are "classic"

Her villains are great, people just think they're 'shit' or don't know about them because people never use them.

Every time a new run comes, the writer sees fit to try to make their own new set of villains. Azzarello was no different with his First Born and redesigned Gods.

If someone actually took the time to develop these guys with inherently cool concepts, you'd really a good set of guys of bad guys on your hands. I mean, that's what made everyone love guys like Captain Boomerang and Mirror Master and Captain Cold. So why not Dr. Psycho, Giganta, and Angle Man?

Yea I kind of hate that too, new writers come up with things like Genocide. They tend to be Superman villain concepts only made for Wonderwoman. Like WW Doomsday, or WW Brainiac, WW Metallo....

Except I really cannot agree on Cheetah or Giganta. 90% of the incarnations of Cheetah are some rich crazy woman in a cat suit that is somehow not taken as a joke. And Giganta no matter what always comes off as a silly silver age concept that stuck around. I sort of dislike them like a lot of the sillier Superman enemies like Toyman or Trickster.

>new writers come up with things like Genocide

Gail Simone came up with Genocide, and other than Perez, she was the only person to actually use classic Wonder Woman villains like Cheetah, Dr. Psycho, Ares, Hercules, and Giganta.

Gail Simone is literally the only writer who ever tried to make Giganta into an actual character rather than big, dumb muscle.

>90% of the incarnations of Cheetah are some rich crazy woman in a cat suit that is somehow not taken as a joke.

Now that's just plain not true. Cheetah's a murderous, bloodthirsty cat monster powered by a dark god and has been for a very long time. We haven't seen a 'cat suit' Cheetah as a regular since before Perez.

>>78075316
>boring OP power set, no weaknesses, hasn't jobbed to any other hero in years
Good, she jobbed so fucking much over the years it's not even funny. And what you said is partly untrue anyway, she jobbed to Joker and Batman in Endgame alongside the whole League, she jobbed to Harley in their recent team up (you can say what you want, but she's Superman tier and was knocked out by a trap set by Harley Quinn, a fucking second rate villain sidekick, Diana fights Gods daily and i'm supposed to believe that narcotic gas can defeat her? That wouldn't happen with Superman, honestly).

>has no real flaws
Depends on the writer and the situation really, she can struggle psychologically when it comes to war and violence, because she loves and promote peace, which is difficult to do when you have to do the right thing for the good of everyone, this is a theme that other heroes can't touch ad good as her, in Azzarello's run she wasn't a perfect being, and when she has an argument with Superman he can stick out as a better person sometimes.
Did you only read some shitty issue of the recent Sensation Comics with SJW?

>Why does Wonder Woman completely suck as a character.
In cape comics the only one who sucks is the writer, characters change a lot based on who write them, you can say the same thing about any other major superhero really, but in the end they are only tools, no cape character is shitty to his core.

>has no great and iconic stories about her
This is your only valid argument, she has very few good stories compared to Superman and Batman, but she still has good stories, it's not her fault if writers aren't interested in her, even comic book creators are fans like us and i wouldn't be surprised to find out that a lot of them treat characters ad if they were people with a fixed characterization, for example, Frank Cho looks like a pretty childish guy, he hates Superman and loves Batman apparently,even if he has no real reason beside the usual casual beliefs.

This dialogue is so on the nose...
>>
>>78081212
>>78081407
No, both of these are jobbing, Superman and Diana are in the same class of power, same thing goes for Thor and Sentry, it's not the fact that they lost, but the fact that it was so easy, Wonder Woman had the edge against an all-out Superman when Max Lord mind controlled him, both of them can win on the other depending on what the writer wants, but winning so easily is jobbing. It wouldn't be jobbing if Diana lost against The Spectre or Darkseid so easily, because they are on another level.
But that story wasn't even exactly in the usual continuity, so it doesn't count that much.

Well to be fair the Thor/Sentry in Uncanny Avengers was about as equal as Diana/Darkseid

But that's not the point, I think we could assume that fighters here have enough power to quickly do serious harm to another, once they land a good hit. All that matters is who's faster and more skilled, and we can argue here of course (Batman's Hussein Bolt - Bruce Lee comparison), but their defenses aren't enough to hold hits dealt in this combat. So for me that's not jobbing, that's simply plot-decided outcome.

>Well to be fair the Thor/Sentry in Uncanny Avengers was about as equal as Diana/Darkseid
I'm not so sure about it, I don't think that Sentry recieved a power-up in Uncanny Avengers, he wasn't so much different from Siege's Sentry/Void, anyway I believe he didn't do anything out of Thor's league if we consider Aaron's God Butcher arc or the fight between Thor and Glory in Chaos War.

>So for me that's not jobbing, that's simply plot-decided outcome.
That's a pretty interesting way to rationalize the outcome, you might be right, but we've seen these heroes tanking so much pain it's hard for me to believe.

>Sentry hasn't received a power-up
Well stopping Mjollnir with a stare is pretty up there in my opinion.

Yeah, it's pretty dumb that Thor in "god business" is so much more powerful than just on Earth. But on the other hand, he would be impossible to use otherwise if we transferred blows-cracking-nearby-moons to a fight with Wrecking Crew or even Ultron. I'm sure it happens to most of the characters doing "cosmic stuff" save Surfer as he was always established as a being much more powerful than most of Earth's heroes and villains.
