If Gail brings Athena's ascendancy back, it'll be like those stories where Batman pushes his family away and has to hit rock bottom before he remembers that hey, there's a bunch of people who love him and maybe he shouldn't be a huge jerk asshole to those people.
You know, all of those stories, over and over again.
Also, this talk about Diana's eyes remembers me of this one Mary Sue test that stuck in my mind - it had a section about eyes, and the highest scoring response was "the eyes change color."
