In reply to the discussion: I watching Wonder Woman for about the 100th time, gets better every time. [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)30. I find it a bit weird that they would move the setting from World War II to the Great War.
World War II was a just war with no ambiguity. Why have an Amazon superhero intervene in a conflict that was nothing but a family quarrel among feather-hatted German-speaking royals, in which 20 million men died for no worthwhile reason?
Why would Diana even care who won between the Battenbergs and the Hapsburgs?

Are you conflating progressivism and pacifism? It seems like you are, which is weird.

They moved it to avoid the obvious comparision to the Capt America movie which took place in WWII

Probably not a conflict that threatened the entire world. Did you even see the movie?
