What you wont see in the Movies |
There is another series in the making of Wonder Woman. The important thing to remember is Wonder Woman is a story told in the style of Greek mythology. This doesn't translate well in the pop-culture. I fell in love with Linda Carter in her break out role as the Amazon heroin Wonder Woman. But, it was satire. If you read the Comic series you'll get a different look at this Greek Demi-God. She is not so innocent and definitely not gullible. She has never been human. She was never born. Her mother Queen Hippolyta formed her from the magical clay of Paradise Island. Hippolyta beg the Gods for a daughter, since the Amazon woman of Themyscira could not have children. The spirit of the child was taken from limbo, where unborn spirits dwell. This sounds like a monster movie. Hippolyta called her child Diana after the mother of Major Steve Trevor. Hippolyta could see the future and past all at once. Diana would become an envoy to the League of Nations. Hippolyta knew that Paradise Island would be discovered by the world of men. Paradise Island joined with the allied forces against NAZI Germany. Diana chose a uniform of the American flag to show her alliance with the United States. She could not tire or bleed. Her body was made of clay. Her strength came from Athena's golden girdle of Gaea and the golden lasso of truth. She could lift great weights and deflect bullets with her bracelets. But, she could never be a mortal woman. She was made of clay and magic. ~~~ <^> |
