Do youprefer WW with or without the ability to fly?


I never was a fan of her flying (I'm not talking about her plane). She seems so much more interesting without the ability of flight. To me, her flight seems like an unnatural to her character.

I don't really mind one way or the other.

...what is the nature of her character?

Without it. We already have Superman, Hawkgirl and Green Lantern being able to fly.

reply

I don't like the flying as well. I preferred when she just had the ability to glide.

Even that's practically the same as flying.

Gliding depends on wind currents whereas flying you could do independent of the wind.

Sooooooo...using comic book/cartoon logic...as long as she has use of her "The Gods"-given powers to always have control of wind currents she can always be in some state of being supported by the air...that's analogous to gliding.

It's been a while since I've read WW's book. She has the ability to control the wind? She couldn't back when I was reading her regularly.

Flying without a plane makes her more independent.

I prefer she flies. It just looks better.

Yeah...just showing up in the transparent jet all the time is just gay. Her flying is a retcon I approve of...if it actually counts as a retcon.

....and another thing. She is sort of a member of the holy trinity of the iconic DC Comics players...so unless you seriously augment her abilities/usage of "The Gods" given powers, she would seem so much less spectacular/mighty if she weren't also flying like Superman. She would kind of be like she was in those old Superfriends cartoons; some chick who was just on par with Aquaman .

With her flying she is on par with Superman...which is much more interesting.

Errr didn't she take out like 5 other League females simultaneously without breaking a sweat in that one ep? (Hawkgirl, Vixen, Huntress, Black Canary, and Fire, I think it was?)

I've never liked the invisible jet, so I prefer her flying (via power given to her by Hermes, maybe?)

Close. Fire does appear in the episode, but Canary takes her out earlier. The other four face off against Wondy.

reply

I think you're right, come to think of it. Still, to take them all on at once with little problem shows you what she can do.

reply

Without. I prefer it when her power comes mainly from her training as an Amazon warrior rather than her super-powers. It helps to give her her own character instead of just being Superman with tits.

Gross oversimplification. Especially, since character wise and personality wise, they're not alike.

Plus, she was carved from clay. She already comes from super-powers.

Can't stop the signal.

I like her with flight powers as well.

Funny how other characters getting the power of flight doesn't make them Superman rip-offs.

reply

Yeah I prefer she has the ability of flight too. The invisible jet thing was always a little silly.

She's much better with the ability to fly. Makes for much better fight scenes. The Invisible Jet always felt too cheesy.
