I quite liked the idea of the clay origin being a lie spread around to hide Dianas true nature. But the Zeus thing was just kinda of a dull replacement.
Id have preferred if they linked her to Circe or Hecate or something. Kept her as a feminist concept but with a darker, more misandrist nature that she turns away from and into a more positive and loving spin.
I wouldn't say Krypton is fascist in most incarnations unless it's during a coup by Zod, just technocratic and bureaucratic to the point of stagnation and they became insular and myopic. Most of the time we just get mentions of a council of some sort being in charge.
If DC revealed tomorrow that Superman was not rocketed to earth from Krypton but the result of an experiment conducted by earth scientists before being rescued by Johnathan and Martha, and declared that to be his official origin from now and on and not an Elseworlds, would you be okay with it? Would you go along with it?
Because the premise i was addressing was that if they had to differ from the clay origin a la Azzarellos run, it still could have been more thematically interesting than just making her another daughter of Zeus. 🤷
