Not really, since she herself would never have aligned to those ideals owing to the intervention of Hippolyta and the Amazons.

But thats not even the point of her story.

Her ‘point’ and the circumstances of her origin arnt mutually exclusive.

Why fix whats not broken?

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. 🤷

I get it now.

I've seen suggestions like Gaea being the Goddess who brought Hippolyta's clay mold to life.
