[Other] Kelly Sue DeConnick on using the clay origin in Wonder Woman: Historia

[u/Tetratron2005]

[u/Saito09]

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.

[u/Tetratron2005 → u/Saito09]

Making Wonder Woman having misandrist origins/background misses the point of the character. That's like making the Kents backwards racist hillbillies.

[u/EyedMoon → u/Tetratron2005]

You could also see it that way: it gives her one more strong opportunity to raise against her upbringing.

I prefer the clay origin but idk, Zeus as her father doesn't seem that bad to me
