If they didn't screw everything up so badly it didn't make any sense.<BR/><BR/>For example: The Amazons get attacked by some group of men in American military uniforms who assassinate someone important there then die in their escape attempt. US denies all ties with it naturally resulting in hostilities. Amazons, believing themselves to be under attack, transport into the middle of DC with intent to argue the point directly. Superheroes intervene to prevent all-out war, resulting in a nasty standoff as both sides are trying to decide who's responsible which is rapidly degenerating towards all out war. Wonder Woman finds some evidence that it's in fact the League which was responsible for the initial attack, forcing her into the position where she can either reveal to the world that a group which is -supposed- to be heroically saving everyone is apparently sponsoring hits on high-profile individuals espousing to world peace (Especially nasty as there are people who would claim that true world peace would mean the League would be vastly less important). As the talks break down and open war grinds closer and closer, Wonder Woman has the weight of two civilizations resting on whether or not she's willing to turn on those who are supposed to be her friends and allies or whether she supports them and risks the deaths of her people on -both- sides. Not a pretty place to be for someone who's supposed to represent the concept of 'truth'.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately the chances of getting a really well written out storyline like that with a satisfactory conclusion in main continuity is about as likely as someone miraculously discovering the cure for cancer by knocking three test tubes off a table into a trashcan together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-82261020942817138892009-03-11T03:17:00.000-05:002009-03-11T03:17:00.000-05:00Good to hear, I can certainly understand angry sen...Good to hear, I can certainly understand angry sentiments about a comic (I hated iron man at fist) I'm just glad that you're still as funny as ever!B.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04246879040338912495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-91929040517348018862009-03-11T02:46:00.000-05:002009-03-11T02:46:00.000-05:00We get to it next episode. ^_~We get to it next episode. ^_~Lewis Lovhaughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724769374732321363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-87422058350094773732009-03-11T02:32:00.000-05:002009-03-11T02:32:00.000-05:00So how exactly did the Amazons travel the 1,000+ m...So how exactly did the Amazons travel the 1,000+ miles from Washington D.C. to Kansas (all of Kansas) that quickly?
