after the release of the 2017 film wonder woman, many bloggers noted what they felt made wonder woman a feminist icon in the film. zoe williams for the guardian said, "yes, she is sort of naked a lot of the time, but this isn't objectification so much as a cultural reset: having thighs, actual thighs you can kick things with, not thighs that look like arms, is a feminist act. the whole diana myth, women safeguarding the world from male violence not with nurture but with better violence, is a feminist act. casting robin wright as wonder woman's aunt, re-imagining the battle-axe as a battler with an axe, is a feminist act. a female german chemist trying to destroy humans (in the shape of dr poison, a proto-mengele before nazism existed) might be the most feminist act of all." alyssa rosenberg for the washington post said, "...none of these experiences crushed me, of course, but i do wonder what it might have been like if they hadn't happened.the power of wonder woman, and one of the things that gives jenkins's adaptation of the character such a lift, is in the answer to that question. diana prince (gal gadot) doesn't have any idea what women and men are — or aren't — supposed to do. even when she does encounter other people's ideas about gender roles, she doesn't automatically accept them, and she never lets anyone stop her. and the movie goes a step further and argues that it's not merely little girls all over the world who stand to gain if they can grow up free of the distorting influence of misogyny: a world like that would be liberating and wonderful for men in lots of ways, too." emma gray for huffpost said, "when it comes to pop culture, we speak often about representation; the simple yet often unfulfilled idea that it matters to see someone like you fill a variety of imagined roles on screen. after awhile, these conversations almost begin to feel obvious. we know that it's good to see women and people of color and disabled people and trans people and queer people in the same numbers and variety of roles that white, cisgender, straight men have long been afforded. but what these discussions often lose is the emotional impact of finally seeing something you may have never even realized you were missing. for many women viewers, "wonder woman" filled a hole they didn't know they had."

bullet::::- in the alternative timeline shown in the "flashpoint" miniseries, wonder woman wages a war against aquaman and the atlanteans. as a young girl, diana met and befriended a young arthur curry. when they reach adulthood, they agree to a marriage of convenience, wherein they will reveal their societies to the world at large together. on the day of their wedding, hippolyta was killed by a spear thrown by an atlantean. unbeknownst to the bride or groom, hippolyta's death was part of a scheme concocted by ocean master, artemis and wonder woman's aunt, penthesileia, to prevent the union of aquaman and wonder woman (diana was the intended target, but hippolyta got in the way). in retaliation, wonder woman declares war on atlantis. aquaman and the atlanteans then visit themyscira to negotiate for peace, but artemis has bombs dropped on themyscira, with wonder woman angrily believing the atlanteans were behind it. wonder woman's only option is to destroy themyscira and then escape on the amazon's invisible planes. she then leads the amazons in conquering the united kingdom, renaming it new themyscira. wonder woman later catches steve trevor with her lasso of truth and begins interrogating him after he is temporarily able to resist the lasso's effects. steve explains that he was hired to extract lois lane from new themyscira because she was sent to gather information on the amazons for cyborg. wonder woman states that their counterspy was telling something similar to cyborg's amassing of superhumans to stop the fighting between her and aquaman. her subjects ask her what to do with steve. later, wonder woman attacks the resistance member penny black, but penny shows her that people were imprisoned of internment by her aunt penthesileia. wonder woman is furious and frees the people from internment, which she believes that they are not accepted for prison. during this same period, the amazonian furies attack the reinforcements of a group of atlanteans sent to kill terra, who was being used to keep new themyscira in the air; wonder woman personally joins the battle, confronting the leader, aquaman. during their struggle, she tells aquaman that they have both been deceived, when she discovers that her aunt penthesileia kissing ocean master are both responsible for the war between the atlanteans and the amazons, that was a ruse planned by them. while the atlanteans are going to surface, but their attack having been backfired by ocean master, aquaman believes wonder woman has set a trap. wonder woman escapes from aquaman, who refuses her word. wonder woman then contacts the amazons to defend their home. the battlefield of wonder woman and aquaman are them fighting; however, they are both approached by the flash and the heroes that are here to stop the war. wonder woman is struggled by kal-el, who intends to attack her at the last battle.
