And she has resolved it must be her to make this sacrifice. She leaves because she wants to see the world and somebody must go and do this thing. When we talk about agency of characters in 2016, Diana deciding to leave her home forever - which is what she believes she’s doing - if she does that because she’s fallen for a guy, I believe that diminishes her heroism. It would hurt the character and take away her heroism. But perhaps foremost among them is, if no, then she leaves paradise only because of a potential romantic relationship with Steve. And it needs to be yes for a number of reasons. Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women? As Nicola and I approach it, the answer is obviously yes. In a 2016 interview with Comicosity, Wonder Woman writer Greg Rucka was explicit about Diana's attractions to men and women. Many people who have worked on Wonder Woman have pointed out that "gay" or "bi" as we think of it would be irrelevant because on an island of all women, it would be assumed that everyone is in same-sex relationships.Īdditionally, the creator of Wonder Woman, William Moulton Marston, was certainly aware of bisexuality as he was in a long-term relationship with three women, at least two of whom were bi. The fact that she grew up in a society of women would suggest that same-sex relationships were common and probably something that she had engaged in. There had been a lot of speculation about Wonder Woman's sexuality. Steve Trevor, an American soldier, crashes his plane, and Diana is chosen to return him to "Man's World" and fight the axis powers. She grew up on the island of Themyscira, a utopian place inhabited only by women. She carries the Lasso of Truth and a pair of bracelets that are indestructible and can deflect bullets. She was created from clay by her mother Queen Hippolyta and was given life by the gods.

After leaving the island, she goes by Diana Prince. She is an Amazon from the island of Themyscira, and her official title is Princess Diana of Themyscira, Daughter of Hippolyta. He was essential to the Amazonian’s creation, definitely, but “unnecessary” when it came to Wonder Woman living on, thriving, and becoming a phenomenon more than 50 years after his passing.Wonder Woman is a superhero who is a part of the DC Comics universe. The polyamorous couple was unconventional for the 1920s, yet even after Marston’s death in the late 1940s, the two women continued to live together, raise their shared children, and maintain the legacy of the Wonder Woman character without Marston being alive to do so himself. Both his wife and Byrne contributed key elements that helped shape not just the character of Wonder Woman, but the culture of Themiscyra itself. The academic – who also invented the lie detector test – initially came up with the idea for a comic book hero in a similar vein to Superman and Batman, yet one that was informed by matriarchal values and feminism. More than all of that, the line “unnecessary” is also a fitting wink to the origins of the character which was created by Professor William Marston and heavily influenced by his partners, wife Elizabeth Marston and spouse Olive Byrne. They’re also “unnecessary” to the creative direction of the film, which was spearheaded by filmmaker Patty Jenkins over a mammoth 15-year period. They’re unnecessary when it comes to defence, the German soldiers ill-equipped to deal with an island of Amazonian warriors led by Antiope (Robin Wright) who have spent their life training with all forms of weapons and in all forms of combat. They’re “unnecessary” when it comes to saving the day, something that Wonder Woman is able to achieve on her own after a cinematic history of women being sidelined at best, fridged at worst, in films just like this one. In the first superhero blockbuster to star a woman, men are more than just “unnecessary” to a female’s sexual pleasure.
