New Frontier: Diana and Clark have an arguement

I have to say that I really do like Wonder Woman's portrayal in this mini series, from her belief in America as an ideal (an ideal that becomes kind of embarassing to the US government when she points out their foreign policy contradicts it, and ultimately results in her being unofficially thrown out of the country), to her being taller than Superman and her costume.

I do like the costume, it both seems to be practical and somewhat "Ancient Greekish" if you get what I mean. Though I do wonder where she got the blue leather for her skirt...

Uh oh,

	This. You might as well say "Well, we should simply forcibly evacuate all those Native Americans to some sort of protected reservation because otherwise they'll get killed by all those white settlers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Idealism is not a strategy. I'm saying take them to Themyscria for six months, maybe a year, train them in guerilla tactics, teach them to to scavenge for supplies so they can keep fighting when those magazines run out, give them time to be turned them into fighting force that can actually do what Wonder Woman says she wants them to do instead of waiting for whatever country their in to firebomb them from the sky.

Or don't. If they want to stay and fight, that's their choice. Maybe they want to be martyrs. My point wasn't to relocate as them dissidents so much as it was to use the fact they have a MacGuffin (Wonder Woman) to enact a long-term strategy that has a better chance of working than, "I'm sure Wonder Woman, twenty malnourished people, and whatever guns we have will survive an invading army intact."
