Wonder Woman is Trash

I've been calling a lot of superheroes trash lately. This hero might just be the strongest of them all so far. Wonder Woman is one of the strongest heroes in the DC and Marvel Universe, ask Thor about her hands. She's a living legend both in and out of the comics. She's been able to not only go toe to toe with Superman but defeated him on several occasions. On top of being a hero she's the heir to the throne of an ancient race of Amozonian women. A society with no man that relies on ancient technology yet has managed to become some of the fiercest warriors of all time able to stand against modern armies. Even with all that, Wonder Woman is still trash.

1. Her only weakness is having her hands tied by a man. That's right all you have to do to beat Wonder Woman is be a man and know how to tie a simple knot. That is the strangest weakness ever and makes no sense. Actually it does when you consider the next fact.

2. Wonder Woman was created by psychologist William Masrton. Marston created her based on his fetishes for both bondage and feminism. That's correct he had a fetish for feminism and being dominated during BDSM play. I know it sounds like I'm doing a "Those darn feministes is ruing our country," but I'm not. He legitimately had a fetish for radical feminism. I'm not judging but that's a strange kink. He just thought comic books allowed him a way to express these things freely.

3. Marston believed Wonder Woman to be feminist propaganda, because he believed all comics to be propaganda. That's right he fetishized feminism and then created what he considered propaganda to forward the movement so more feminist would rise. So he could fetishize them too. This dude is creepy.

4. She's a racist. No, she's fine with racial minorities as far as I know. She's racist against the Martian race. She really hates Martian Manhunter for no reason.

5. Her costumes. You expect me to either say they're too revealing or she should show some modesty you're wrong. I'm just saying she's had some really ugly costumes. She also wears the stars and stripes, but she's not American. She's a poser. Just like that Superman guy, American Alien my ass.

6. Why does she need an invisible jet? Sure, she doesn't technically fly, she glides on air current. That hasn't stopped her from "gliding" on air current in space where it's a vacuum.

7. The Jet is invisible. How does she even know where she parked?

8. She's made of clay. I mean, really?

9. The Lasso of Truth. Really? That's your trump card? A lasso that doubles as a lie detector? Let's be honest, how practical is a lasso in a fight? Especially when it's been broken before.

10. Now I'm gonna say something crazy about her costume. Why would she fight crime in a bathing suit and high heels? That's the most impracticable costume since Luke Cage's tiara or Wonder Man's jacket. I'm not the only one that things that. Former Wonder Woman actress Jodi Picoult thinks so too.

11. One of Wonder Woman's most iconic moments is her snapping Max Lord's neck preventing him from ruling the world. But, she doesn't have many other iconic moments.

12. Cheetah is her most iconic villain and she's just a lady in a cat costume for most depictions.

13. Steve Trevor, that's all.

14. She doesn't have a stable supporting cast. Her supporting cast constantly changes and the only real consistent character is Steve Trevor, and he sucks.

15. She's a princess but had to work at Taco Whiz to pay her bills. She also has a job in the United States Government as an agent of Metahuman Affairs. Why you spending up all your money

16. Doctor Psycho is another one of Wonder Woman's villains. He's a dwarf who uses psychic powers to force men to eat uranium and women to marry him. He once dressed as George Washington and convinced the army to attack Wonder Woman. Yeah.

17. She's ruined women's relationships before because they shouldn't be bound to men because that means they're bound to spread hate, glorify war and everything else evil.

18. Even after all that she still married Steve Trevor. Because it's cool for her to get married but you don't need a man and she'll keep it that way for you.

19. The Barbie and Wonder Woman line. There were a series of comic books as well as planned toys and movies from DC Comic and Mattel. Wonder Woman basically became Captain Planet. She needed to have several women to fuse so that she could appear. Also, there was totally a racist stereotype of a Latina woman in that comic.

20. Wonder Woman's design was based on Marston's second wife (he married two women simultaneously). His 2nd wife was not only one of his barely legal students, but also his niece.
