Your blog is not entirely correct when you say it's her first time getting revamped for wardrobe updates. Wonder Woman as Diana Prince, a de-powered but liberated feminist regular woman goes from 1968 to 1973 in the most contemporary and fashionable pants, mini's, go go skirts, you name it! That's five years you've conveniently omitted to make a point that pants are a timely and welcome costume change for Wonder Woman. Furthermore, she did go through a major change with the W symbol on the front which signified equality for women in 1982, leaving behind the patriarchal symbol of the republican eagle emblem. But consider that pants, which I am okay with, (her new art style however, is another issue), offer a different sort of portrayal of a superheroine in action. Gone are the objectifying butt, crotch, and spread eagle posturing if she wears pants right? No need for the artist to worry about rendering her in compromising positions for male readers to ogle her best assets, at least not the pants part. Now she can kick and fly without full frontal objectification and is somewhat less of a sexual object with pants on, yet comic writers/artists will never fully comprehend what empowered, liberated, and confident women would want their little girls to read when sharing their love of superheroine comics. Woe to Wonder Woman.

This makes me ill that people tampered with a good thing. I had dressed up as wonder woman for halloween. I made myself dizzy twiring around for hours when I was in elemetary school. Destroying the childhood of so many girls is wrong.

To me, this IS a feminist win. I don’t care if its just a comic, etc. I have always felt weird about Wonder Woman as a feminist icon because she was so sexually objectified, she looked more like a lads mag icon. I could never see how I could really take seriously a female super hero in underwear. She does look WAY more bad ass now, and she isn’t just a flesh flag. I like the anti-nationalism and I like the humanism. All we need now is for her to be featured smashing the patriarchy in her comics, and then she’d really have a new fan. Good job!

No classical greek hero would dress this way – pants, to classical Greeks and Romans, were a sure sign of foreigness, therefore of “barbarian” status. WW would not feel cold even in heavy snow, and would wear clothes that allow for highly athletic fighting. Her original costume has very similar body coverage to old greek armour, excepting possibly protection for the upper chest/throat – fix that if you must “fix” anything. And WW wouldn’t give a flying F. what modern folks thought was “proper” clothing, or what any observer thought of her body. This costume change is a stupid mistake – but something this dumb can’t stand the test of time, thank Athena.

I will say this again, to quote an old song and list of no-no’s
You dont tug on Superman’s cape, you dont spit into the wind,
You dont pull the mask off the ole Lone Ranger and you dont put Wonder Woman in pants! (LOL) and make her look like any common cartoon character llike Shee-ra, Hellcats, Transformers, take your pic. She had class and style and if you get the costume women do NOT have trouble being her for Halloween. She was my childhood hero and I even had the underoos! If you want to revamp her make her look more like Lynda Carter,, that is always the image of her in my mind.
