Centaurs are fake but Amazons are real why


Maybe it's nitpicking but I liked the fact that it tried to be as realistic as possible so why did they make amazons real, she could've just been a soldier.

I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

Because Amazons aren't 'fantastical creatures'/an impossibility, they weren't superheroes they were women who withdrew from men's society, merely warrior women.

Personally I wanted both.

The characters CALLED her an Amazon, billed her to be one but the creators didn't make her out to be an actual Amazon. If they had, she would have had one or both breasts amputated, like the Amazons of myth (the word "amazon" literally means "without breast").
