As most of my friends know, I love comicbooks, especially the classics like DC. I like some Marvel comics, but I like DC more. There's just something very interesting about classic American style comicbooks. Today I came across this article about Wonder Woman's costume change . At first, I thought it didn't really make much sense to change the character in the first place. I think that when we start trying to revamp storylines and characters we take away the original meaning and history. I would not go as far to say that DC made Wonder Woman look "un-American", just because they took away her stars and colors. If DC really wanted her to be American, they would not have created her to be from a mythical place in Ancient Greece. As usual, people use the internet as a way to display their dislike for the current events in politics and it has been a "fashion statement" to politicize everything in our current culture. I dismiss the comments for the article as an American fear of change and difference. I feel as long as if the new version of Wonder Woman is as good or better than the original, it should not really matter. I plan on writing my own graphic novels, and I would not want to have it "re-imagined" thirty years from now.
The fans, as fickle as they are, should be grateful that DC chose not to re-image her as an anime style character. The comicbook for Wonder WOman 2.0 was released today, so I couldn't find an appropriate photo for her costume.
