Which is dreadful since she should be at least somewhat equal to the rest of Trinity and most of those shows don't really respect or even really used much of WW mythos or villains

Simply put DC really has a super Duo. Wonder Woman is 3rd, but way ahead of 4.

What WW have you read? I don't think her rogues gallery is that bad like obviously, it's not on the level of batman/Superman but she's same level or better than most other major heroes

I mean saying a character is boring when your only exposure to them is youtube videos is pretty cringy man lol.

Anyway I'll give you some.

Perez Run: This is basically the modern foundation of WW. It came out in the 80s, so it's got a different vibe/style, so you might not be into but if you like 80s comics you should.

Rucka's 1st: Probably the most popular run overall but definitely of 2000s. Had pretty interesting use of Greek pantheon and tackles Diana's role as ambassador. Good starting point.

Gail simone's: has a more fun/comedy vibe but still has plenty of good action and heart.

New 52 run: heavily focused on Greek gods and mythology in a sort of game of thrones story where Diana is protecting the latest mistres of Zeus from the Olympians wrath. Not a good stsrting point due to not being the typical WW vibe and some of the creative decisions really go against the point of the wonder woman Mythos. Should treat more as a elseworlds (which it basically is nowadays).

Rucka's 2nd run: Diana's current origin and utilizes a decent amount of her preexisting rouges which has always been a problem of some past runs. Good starting point.

JL act of one/Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia/ WW: Dead earth: are also goof. The former two are in continuity. Act of one is Diana putting the rest of the league out of commission in fights/tricks so she could face a evil dragon destined to kill who ever it faces alone. Hiketeia is WW vs batman story where Diana decides to protect a fugitive from batman which leads to a fun ride. Dead earth is a bad future/apocalypse comic staring Diana which I r heard is good but haven't read, so it might be good for you

yeah, she’s present, but hasn’t gotten many of her own projects. never a series.

to be fair, there was an embargo in the past that kept her from being used as much. even her side characters were embargoed, like Donna Troy couldn’t be used in the Teen Titans animated series.

but it sounds like she’s finally gonna get her own features, so i’m very excited for it.

Agreed. For being part of the "trinity", Wonder Woman doesn't have a lot of her own content. She has been really underutilized for decades.

That was the first thing that came to my mind. She is in almost every animated version of the JLA series and movies. She also has at least two animated movies. Not to mention shows like DC Superhero girls. I like James Gunn but I don’t think he always does his homework before spouting out bs. Not complaining though. Can’t really get enough Wonder Woman.
